Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
雅各举目观看，见以扫来了，后头跟着四百人，他就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结，和两个使女，
2 And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
并且叫两个使女和她们的孩子在前头，利亚和她的孩子在后头，拉结和约瑟在尽后头。
3 And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
他自己在他们前头过去，一连七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
4 Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
以扫跑来迎接他，将他抱住，又搂着他的颈项，与他亲嘴，两个人就哭了。
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
以扫举目看见妇人孩子，就说：“这些和你同行的是谁呢？”雅各说：“这些孩子是 神施恩给你的仆人的。”
6 Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜；
7 Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜；随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。
8 And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
以扫说：“我所遇见的这些群畜是什么意思呢？”雅各说：“是要在我主面前蒙恩的。”
9 But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
以扫说：“兄弟啊，我的已经够了，你的仍归你吧！”
10 And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
雅各说：“不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你从我手里收下这礼物；因为我见了你的面，如同见了 神的面，并且你容纳了我。
11 And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
求你收下我带来给你的礼物；因为 神恩待我，使我充足。”雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
12 And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
以扫说：“我们可以起身前往，我在你前头走。”
13 And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们年幼娇嫩，牛羊也正在乳养的时候，若是催赶一天，群畜都必死了。
14 May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.
求我主在仆人前头走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那里。”
15 Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
以扫说：“容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。”雅各说：“何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。”
16 So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
于是，以扫当日起行，回往西珥去了。
17 And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
雅各就往疏割去，在那里为自己盖造房屋，又为牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
18 And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来的时候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示剑城，在城东支搭帐棚，
19 And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
就用一百块银子向示剑的父亲、哈抹的子孙买了支帐棚的那块地，
20 And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利·伊罗伊·以色列。
