Genesis 33
1 Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
爰にヤコブ目をあげて視にエサウ四百人をひきゐて來りしかば則ち子等を分ちてレアとラケルと二人の仕女とに付し
2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
仕女とその子等を前におきレアとその子等を次におきラケルとヨセフを後におきて
3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
自彼等の前に進み七度身を地にかがめて遂に兄に近づきけるに
4 Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
エサウ趨てこれを迎へ抱きてその頸をかかへて之に接吻すしかして二人ともに啼泣り
5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
エサウ目をあげて婦人と子等を見ていひけるは是等の汝とともなる者は誰なるやヤコブいひけるは神が僕に授けたまひし子なりと
6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
時に仕女等その子とともに近よりて拜し
7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
レアも亦その子とともに近よりて拜す其後にヨセフとラケルちかよりて拜す
8 “What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
エサウ又いひけるは我あへる此諸の群は何のためなるやヤコブいふ主の目の前に恩を獲んがためなり
9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
エサウいひけるは弟よわが有ところの者は足り汝の所有は汝自ら之を有てよ
10 But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
ヤコブいひけるは否我もし汝の目の前に恩をえたらんには請ふわが手よりこの禮物を受よ我汝の面をみるに神の面をみるがごとくなり汝また我をよろこぶ
11 Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
神我をめぐみたまひて我が有ところの者足りされば請ふわが汝にたてまつる禮物を受よと彼に強ければ終に受たり
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
エサウいひけるは我等いでたちてゆかん我汝にさきだつべし
13 But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
ヤコブ彼にいひけるは主のしりたまふごとく子等は幼弱し又子を持る羊と牛と我にしたがふ若一日これを驅すごさば群みな死ん
14 Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
請ふわが主僕にさきだちて進みたまへ我はわが前にゆくところの家畜と子女に足にまかせて徐に導きすすみセイルにてわが主に詣らん
15 “Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
エサウいひけるは然ば我わがひきゐる人數人を汝の所にのこさんヤコブいひけるは何ぞ此を須んや我をして主の目の前に恩を得せしめよ
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
是に於てエサウは此日その途にしたがひてセイルに還りぬ
17 but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
斯てヤコブ、スコテに進みて己のために家を建て又家畜のために廬を作れり是によりて其處の名をスコテ（廬）といふ
18 After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
ヤコブ、パダンアラムより來りて恙なくカナンの地にあるシケムの邑に至り邑の前にその天幕を張り
19 And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
遂にその天幕をはりしところの野をシケムの父ハモルの子等の手により金百枚にて購とり
20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
彼處に壇をきづきて之をエル、エロヘ、イスラエル（イスラエルの神なる神）となづけたり
