Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants:
雅各舉目觀看，見以掃來了，後頭跟着四百人，他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結，和兩個使女，
2 and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭，利亞和她的孩子在後頭，拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
他自己在他們前頭過去，一連七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
以掃跑來迎接他，將他抱住，又摟着他的頸項，與他親嘴，兩個人就哭了。
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 that God has graciously given thy servant.
以掃舉目看見婦人孩子，就說：「這些和你同行的是誰呢？」雅各說：「這些孩子是上帝施恩給你的僕人的。」
6 And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
利亞和她的孩子也前來下拜；隨後約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。
8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
以掃說：「我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢？」雅各說：「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
以掃說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.
雅各說：「不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你從我手裏收下這禮物；因為我見了你的面，如同見了上帝的面，並且你容納了我。
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing which has been brought to thee; because God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took [it].
求你收下我帶來給你的禮物；因為上帝恩待我，使我充足。」雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
以掃說：「我們可以起身前往，我在你前頭走。」
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the suckling sheep and kine are with me; and if they should overdrive them only one day, all the flock would die.
雅各對他說：「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩，牛羊也正在乳養的時候，若是催趕一天，群畜都必死了。
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant, and I will drive on at my ease according to the pace of the cattle that is before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir.
求我主在僕人前頭走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那裏。」
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that are with me. And he said, What need? Let me find favour in the eyes of my lord.
以掃說：「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裏。」雅各說：「何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」
16 And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
於是，以掃當日起行，回往西珥去了。
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths. Therefore the name of the place was called Succoth.
雅各就往疏割去，在那裏為自己蓋造房屋，又為牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
18 And Jacob came safely [to the] city Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-Aram; and he encamped before the city.
雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來的時候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示劍城，在城東支搭帳棚，
19 And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread his tent, of the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
就用一百塊銀子向示劍的父親、哈抹的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地，
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
