Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
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 two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
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 But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew 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 on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both 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 Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your 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 and their children drew near and did reverence.
於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
7 And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
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 are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, 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 much, my brother; keep your own.
以掃說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
10 And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
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 Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
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 depart, and proceed right onward.
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 very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will 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 go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength 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, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favor before you, [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 on that day on his journey to Seir.
於是，以掃當日起行，回往西珥去了。
17 And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
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 to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of 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 pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
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 he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
