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:
levans autem Iacob oculos suos vidit venientem Esau et cum eo quadringentos viros divisitque filios Liae et Rahel ambarumque famularum
2 and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
et posuit utramque ancillam et liberos earum in principio Liam vero et filios eius in secundo loco Rahel autem et Ioseph novissimos
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
et ipse praegrediens adoravit pronus in terram septies donec adpropinquaret frater eius
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
currens itaque Esau obviam fratri suo amplexatus est eum stringensque collum et osculans flevit
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.
levatisque oculis vidit mulieres et parvulos earum et ait quid sibi volunt isti et si ad te pertinent respondit parvuli sunt quos donavit mihi Deus servo tuo
6 And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
et adpropinquantes ancillae et filii earum incurvati sunt
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
accessitque Lia cum liberis suis et cum similiter adorassent extremi Ioseph et Rahel adoraverunt
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.
quaenam sunt inquit istae turmae quas obvias habui respondit ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
et ille habeo ait plurima frater mi sint tua tibi
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.
dixit Iacob noli ita obsecro sed si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis accipe munusculum de manibus meis sic enim vidi faciem tuam quasi viderim vultum Dei esto mihi propitius
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].
et suscipe benedictionem quam adtuli tibi et quam donavit mihi Deus tribuens omnia vix fratre conpellente suscipiens
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
ait gradiamur simul eroque socius itineris tui
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.
dixit Iacob nosti domine mi quod parvulos habeam teneros et oves ac boves fetas mecum quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare morientur una die cuncti greges
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.
praecedat dominus meus ante servum suum et ego sequar paulatim vestigia eius sicut videro posse parvulos meos donec veniam ad dominum meum in Seir
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.
respondit Esau oro te ut de populo qui mecum est saltem socii remaneant viae tuae non est inquit necesse hoc uno indigeo ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu domini mei
16 And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
reversus est itaque illo die Esau itinere quo venerat in Seir
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.
et Iacob venit in Soccoth ubi aedificata domo et fixis tentoriis appellavit nomen loci illius Soccoth id est Tabernacula
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.
transivitque in Salem urbem Sycimorum quae est in terra Chanaan postquam regressus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae et habitavit iuxta oppidum
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.
emitque partem agri in qua fixerat tabernaculum a filiis Emor patris Sychem centum agnis
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
et erecto ibi altari invocavit super illud Fortissimum Deum Israhel
