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 unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto 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 hindermost.
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 himself passed on 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 these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath 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 Then came the handmaids 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 they bowed themselves; and after that 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 meanest thou by all this drove which I have met? And he said, To find grace in the eyes 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 unto thyself what thou hast.
At ille ait: Habeo plurima, frater mi, sint tua tibi.
10 And Jacob said, This must not be, I pray thee; if I have but found grace in thy eyes, then do thou receive my present at my hand; since I have seen thy face, it is as though I had seen the face of an angel, and because thou hast received me kindly.
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 thee, my present that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have a plenty of all. 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 depart, and move farther, and I will travel near thee.
ait: Gradiamur simul, eroque socius itineris tui.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are a charge on me: and if they should overdrive them one day, all the flock would 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 thee, pass on before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according to the cattle that goeth before me and the children may be able to travel, until I come unto my lord unto 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, I pray thee, leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me only final grace in the eyes 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 unto 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 he called the name of the place Succoth.
Et Iacob venit in Socoth: ubi aedificata domo et fixis tentoriis appellavit nomen loci illius Socoth, id est, tabernacula.
18 And Jacob came in good health to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and he encamped 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 the parcel of the field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Chamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kessitah.
Emitque partem agri in qua fixerat tabernacula, a filiis Hemor patris Sichem centum agnis.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it, El-Elohe-Yisrael.
Et erecto ibi altari, invocavit super illud fortissimum Deum Israel.
