Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
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,
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
idet han stillede Trælkvinderne med deres Børn forrest, Lea med hendes Børn længere tilbage og bagest Rakel med Josef;
3 And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
selv gik han frem foran dem og kastede sig syv Gange til Jorden, før han nærmede sig sin Broder.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept.
Men Esau løb ham i Møde og omfavnede ham, faldt ham om Halsen og kyssede ham, og de græd;
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given thy servant.
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."
6 Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Så nærmede Trælkvinderne sig med deres Børn og kastede sig til Jorden,
7 And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. And afterward Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
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.
8 And he said, What do thou mean by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
Nu spurgte han: "Hvad vilde du med hele den Lejr, jeg traf på?" Han svarede: "Finde Nåde for min Herres Øjne!"
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, let that which thou have be thine.
Men Esau sagde: "Jeg har nok, Broder; behold du, hvad dit er!"
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand, inasmuch as I have seen thy face, as any man would see the face of God, and thou were pleased with me.
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!
11 Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
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.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
Derpå sagde Esau: "Lad os nu bryde op og drage af Sted, og jeg vil drage foran dig!"
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
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.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
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."
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folks that are with me. And he said, What need is it? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.
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!"
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Så drog Esau samme Dag tilbage til Se'ir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
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.
18 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and encamped before the city.
Og Jakob kom på sin Vandring fra Paddan Aram uskadt til Sikems By i Kana'ans Land og slog Lejr uden for Byen;
19 And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred lambs.
og han købte det Stykke Jord, hvor han havde rejst sit Telt, af Sikems Pader Hamors Sønner for 100 Kesita
20 And he erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
og byggede der et Alter, som han kaldte: Gud, Israels Gud.
