Genesis 33
1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
Cuando Jacob alzando los ojos vio que venía Esaú, y con él cuatrocientos hombres, repartió los niños entre Lía y Raquel y las dos siervas,
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
poniendo delante a las siervas con sus hijos, detrás a Lía con sus hijos, y a Raquel con José los postreros.
3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Él mismo se les adelantó y se postró en tierra siete veces, hasta que se hubo acercado a su hermano.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
Entonces Esaú corrió a su encuentro, le abrazó, se echó sobre su cuello y le besó; y lloraron.
5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Alzando los ojos, vio (Esaú) a las mujeres y a los niños, y preguntó: “¿Quiénes son estos que tienes contigo?” Respondió: “Son los hijos que Dios ha dado a tu siervo.”
6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Y se acercaron las siervas, ellas y sus hijos, y se postraron.
7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Acercose también Lía con sus hijos, y se postraron; y después se acercaron José y Raquel, y se postraron.
8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Preguntó entonces: “¿Qué significa toda esta caravana que acabo de encontrar?” A lo que respondió (Jacob): “Es para hallar gracia a los ojos de mi señor.”
9 Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
“Vivo en abundancia, hermano mío, contestó Esaú; sea para ti lo que es tuyo.”
10 Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Pero Jacob replicó: “De ninguna manera. Si he hallado gracia a tus ojos, acepta mi presente de mi mano, por cuanto he visto tu rostro como quien ve el rostro de Dios, y me has mostrado tu benevolencia.
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
Acepta, pues, mi bendición que te he traído; pues Dios me ha favorecido y tengo de todo.” Y le instó tanto que aceptó.
12 Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
Luego dijo (Esaú): “Partamos y pongámonos en marcha, y yo iré delante de ti.”
13 Jacob 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.
Mas él respondió: “Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que tengo ovejas y vacas preñadas; y si las arrean apresuradamente un solo día, morirá todo el ganado.
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
Adelántese, pues, mi señor a su siervo, y yo seguiré lentamente, al paso de los rebaños que llevo delante, y al paso de los niños, hasta que llegue a mi señor, a Seír.”
15 Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Respondió Esaú: “Dejaré entonces para ti parte de la gente que tengo conmigo.” Mas (Jacob) dijo: “¿Para qué esto? ¡Con tal que halle yo gracia a los ojos de mi señor!”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Se volvió, pues, Esaú ese mismo día rumbo a Seír.
17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Jacob marchó a Sucot, donde hizo una casa para sí, y cabañas para su ganado. Por donde se llamó aquel lugar Sucot.
18 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.
De vuelta de Mesopotamia llegó Jacob sano y salvo a la ciudad de Siquem, que está en el país de Canaán, y acampó frente a la ciudad.
19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
Y compró a los hijos de Hemor, padre de Siquem, por cien kesitas, la parte del campo donde había asentado su tienda.
20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
Allí erigió un altar, y lo llamó El-Elohé- Israel.
