Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Elevans autem Iacob oculos suos, vidit venientem Esau, et cum eo quadringentos viros: divisitque filios Liae et Rachel, ambarumque famularum:
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
et posuit utramque ancillam, et liberos earum in principio: Liam vero, et filios eius in secundo loco: Rachel autem, et Ioseph novissimos.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Et ipse progrediens adoravit pronus in terram septies, donec appropinquaret 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 eius, et osculans flevit.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your 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 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Et appropinquantes ancillae et filii earum, incurvati sunt.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Accessit quoque Lia cum pueris suis: et cum similiter adorassent, extremi Ioseph et Rachel adoraverunt.
8 And he said, What mean you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Dixitque Esau: Quaenam sunt istae turmae quas obviam habui? Respondit: Ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have to yourself.
At ille ait: Habeo plurima, frater mi, sint tua tibi.
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray you, if now I have found grace in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Dixitque 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 you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
et suscipe benedictionem quam attuli tibi, et quam donavit mihi Deus tribuens omnia. Vix fratre compellente, suscipiens,
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
ait: Gradiamur simul, eroque socius itineris tui.
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Dixitque Iacob: Nosti domine mi quod parvulos habeam teneros, et oves, et boves foetas mecum: quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare, morientur una die cuncti greges.
14 Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goes before me and the children be able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Praecedat dominus meus ante servum suum: et ego sequar paulatim vestigia eius, sicut videro parvulos meos posse, donec veniam ad dominum meum in Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needs it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Respondit Esau: Oro te, ut de populo qui mecum est, saltem socri remaneant viae tuae. Non est, inquit, necesse: hoc uno tantum indigeo, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo domine mi.
16 So 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 him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Et Iacob venit in Socoth: ubi aedificata domo et fixis tentoriis appellavit nomen loci illius Socoth, id est, tabernacula.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Transivitque in Salem urbem Sichimorum, quae est in terra Chanaan, postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriae: et habitavit iuxta oppidum.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Emitque partem agri in qua fixerat tabernacula, a filiis Hemor patris Sichem centum agnis.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
Et erecto ibi altari, invocavit super illud fortissimum Deum Israel.
