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.
Dari jauh, Yakub melihat Esau dengan empat ratus anak buahnya mulai mendekat ke arah mereka. Maka dia membagi keluarganya menjadi empat kelompok: Lea dengan anak-anaknya, Rahel dengan anaknya, dan kedua budak perempuannya dengan anak-anak mereka masing-masing.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
Yakub menempatkan kelompok dua budak perempuannya bersama anak-anak mereka paling depan. Di belakang mereka adalah kelompok Lea bersama anak-anaknya, dan di barisan paling belakang, dia menempatkan Rahel dan Yusuf.
3 And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Yakub sendiri berjalan di depan mereka semua. Sambil mendekati kakaknya, Yakub bersujud tujuh kali untuk menghormati Esau.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept.
Tetapi Esau berlari menghampiri Yakub, lalu memeluk dan menciumnya. Mereka pun bertangis-tangisan.
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.
Ketika Esau melihat para perempuan dan anak-anak di belakang Yakub, dia bertanya, “Siapa orang-orang yang bersamamu itu?” Jawab Yakub, “Mereka adalah anak-anak yang sudah Allah karuniakan kepada hambamu ini.”
6 Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Kedua budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anak mendekat. Mereka bersujud untuk menghormati Esau.
7 And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. And afterward Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Kemudian Lea bersama anak-anaknya mendekat dan bersujud untuk menghormati Esau. Demikian juga Rahel dan Yusuf melakukan hal yang sama kepada Esau.
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.
Esau berkata, “Apa maksudmu dengan kelompok-kelompok yang aku temui dalam perjalanan menuju ke sini?” Yakub menjawab, “Untuk mendapatkan kebaikan hati Tuan, supaya Tuan mau menerima aku.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, let that which thou have be thine.
Kata Esau, “Adikku, aku sudah berkecukupan, biarlah apa yang kamu miliki itu tetap menjadi milikmu!”
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.
Tetapi jawab Yakub, “Jangan! Kalau memang Tuan sudah berbaik hati dan mau menerima aku kembali, mohon terimalah pemberianku. Aku sangat senang melihat wajah Tuan lagi, rasanya seperti sedang melihat wajah Allah.
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.
Tolong terimalah pemberian yang aku bawa ini, karena Allah sudah sangat berbaik hati kepadaku dan memberikan segala sesuatu yang aku perlukan.” Yakub terus memohon sampai akhirnya Esau mau menerima pemberian itu.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
Esau berkata, “Mari kita teruskan perjalanan ini. Biarlah aku berjalan di depanmu, dan orang-orangku akan mendampingimu untuk menunjukkan jalan.”
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.
Tetapi Yakub menjawab, “Tuan pasti maklum bahwa anak-anak ini masih lemah, dan kami juga membawa beberapa induk sapi, domba, dan kambing yang masih menyusui. Kalau mereka harus berjalan jauh selama satu hari saja, semua kawanan ternak itu akan mati.
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.
Biarlah Tuan berjalan lebih dulu. Kami akan menyusul pelan-pelan, agar sapi dan ternak lainnya selamat dan anak-anak tidak terlalu lelah, sampai kami bertemu dengan Tuan di 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.
Kata Esau lagi, “Kalau begitu, biarlah aku meninggalkan beberapa anak buahku untuk berjalan bersamamu.” Jawab Yakub, “Tidak usah, Tuan! Aku sudah sangat senang bisa mendapat kebaikan hati Tuan yang begitu besar.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Maka pada hari itu juga, Esau kembali ke Seir,
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.
sedangkan Yakub berjalan menuju Sukot. Di Sukot, Yakub membangun sebuah rumah bagi keluarganya dan membuat beberapa kandang bagi ternaknya. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Sukot.
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.
Beberapa waktu sesudah Yakub dan keluarganya berangkat dari Padan Aram, mereka tiba dengan selamat di kota Sikem di negeri Kanaan. Lalu mereka mendirikan kemah di dekat kota itu.
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.
Yakub membeli tanah tempat mereka berkemah dari keluarga Hemor, ayah Sikem, seharga seratus keping perak.
20 And he erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Di situ, Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamainya Allah Israel Berkuasa.
