1 Mosebog 33
1 Da Jakob så op, fik han Øje på Esau, der kom fulgt af 400 Mand. Så delte han Børnene mellem Lea, Rakel og de to Trælkvinder,
Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
2 idet han stillede Trælkvinderne med deres Børn forrest, Lea med hendes Børn længere tilbage og bagest Rakel med Josef;
and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
3 selv gik han frem foran dem og kastede sig syv Gange til Jorden, før han nærmede sig sin Broder.
but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
4 Men Esau løb ham i Møde og omfavnede ham, faldt ham om Halsen og kyssede ham, og de græd;
Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they wept.
5 og da han så op og fik Øje på Kvinderne og Børnene, sagde han: "Hvem er det, du har der?" Han svarede: "Det er de Børn, Gud nådig har givet din Træl."
Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
6 Så nærmede Trælkvinderne sig med deres Børn og kastede sig til Jorden,
Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
7 derefter nærmede Lea sig med sine Børn og kastede sig til Jorden, og til sidst nærmede Josef og Rakel sig og kastede sig til Jorden.
Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
8 Nu spurgte han: "Hvad vilde du med hele den Lejr, jeg traf på?" Han svarede: "Finde Nåde for min Herres Øjne!"
Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, —To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
9 Men Esau sagde: "Jeg har nok, Broder; behold du, hvad dit er!"
Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
10 Da svarede Jakob: "Nej, hvis jeg har fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, så tag imod min Gave! Da jeg så dit Åsyn, var det jo som Guds Åsyn, og du har taget venligt imod mig!
Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast well-pleased with me.
11 Tag dog den Velsignelse, som er dig bragt, thi Gud har været mig nådig, og jeg har fuldt op!" Således nødte han ham, til han tog det.
Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
12 Derpå sagde Esau: "Lad os nu bryde op og drage af Sted, og jeg vil drage foran dig!"
Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
13 Men Jakob svarede: "Min Herre ved jo, at jeg må tage Hensyn til de spæde Børn og de Får og Køer, som giver Die; overanstrenger jeg dem blot en eneste Dag, dør alt Småkvæget.
And he said unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks die.
14 Vil min Herre drage forud for sin Træl, kommer jeg efter i Ro og Mag, som det passer sig for Kvæget, jeg har med, og for Børnene, til jeg kommer til min Herre i Seir."
Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.
15 Da sagde Esau: "Så vil jeg i alt Fald lade nogle af mine Folk ledsage dig!" Men han svarede: "Hvorfor dog det måtte jeg blot finde Nåde for min Herres Øjne!"
Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
16 Så drog Esau samme Dag tilbage til Se'ir.
So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
17 Men Jakob brød op og drog til Sukkot, hvor han byggede sig et Hus og indrettede Hytter til sit Kvæg; derfor gav han Stedet Navnet Sukkot.
But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
18 Og Jakob kom på sin Vandring fra Paddan Aram uskadt til Sikems By i Kana'ans Land og slog Lejr uden for Byen;
And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in from Padan-aram, —and he encamped before the city.
19 og han købte det Stykke Jord, hvor han havde rejst sit Telt, af Sikems Pader Hamors Sønner for 100 Kesita
And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
20 og byggede der et Alter, som han kaldte: Gud, Israels Gud.
And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
