Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divides the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants;
雅各伯舉目，看見厄撒烏帶了四百人前來，遂將孩子分別交與肋阿、辣黑耳和兩個婢女；
2 and he sets the maidservants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
將兩個婢女和她們的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最後是辣黑耳和若瑟。
3 And he himself passed over before them, and bows himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing near to his brother,
他自己走在他們前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到來到哥哥前。
4 and Esau runs to meet him, and embraces him, and falls on his neck, and kisses him, and they weep;
厄撒烏卻向他跑來，抱住他，撲在他頸上吻他，兩人都哭了。
5 and he lifts up his eyes, and sees the women and the children, and says, “What [are] these to you?” And he says, “The children with whom God has favored your servant.”
厄撒烏舉目，看見女人和孩子，遂問說：「這些人是你的什麼人﹖」雅各伯答說：「是天主恩賜給你僕人的孩子。」
6 And the maidservants draw near, they and their children, and bow themselves;
於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。
7 and Leah also draws near, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterward Joseph has drawn near with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
肋阿和她的孩子也前來叩拜了，最後若瑟和辣黑耳才近前來叩拜。
8 And he says, “What to you [is] all this camp which I have met?” And he says, “To find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
厄撒烏又問說：「我所見的這一大隊，有什麼意思﹖」雅各伯答說：「這是蒙我主悅納的。」
9 And Esau says, “I have abundance, my brother, that which you have, let it be for yourself.”
厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷! 」
10 And Jacob says, “No, please, now if I have found grace in your eyes, then you have received my present from my hand, because that I have seen your face, as the seeing of the face of God, and you are pleased with me;
雅各伯說：「請不要這樣! 我若真蒙你悅納，請你收下我手中的禮物；因為我見了你的面，就如見了天主的面；你實在仁厚接待了我。
11 please receive my blessing which is brought to you, because God has favored me, and because I have all [things]”; and he presses on him, and he receives [it],
請你收下我獻給你的禮品；因為天主厚待了我，我什麼都有了。」由於雅各伯極力懇請，他才收下了。
12 and says, “Let us journey and go on, and I go on before you.”
厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」
13 And he says to him, “My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then all the flock has died.
雅各伯對他說：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我還要照顧尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顧催趕，全群牲畜都要死盡。
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir.”
還是請我主在你僕人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子們的腳步，慢慢前行；直至達到色意依爾我主那裏。」
15 And Esau says, “Please let me place with you some of the people who [are] with me”; and he said, “Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
厄撒烏說：「讓我留下幾個跟我的人陪著你。」雅各伯說：「只要我能蒙我主悅納，又何必如此! 」
16 And Esau turns back on that day on his way to Seir;
厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。
17 and Jacob has journeyed to Succoth, and builds a house for himself, and has made shelters for his livestock, therefore he has called the name of the place Succoth.
雅各伯卻動身往穌苛特去了，在那裏為自己蓋了一座房屋，為牲畜搭了些棚子；為此給那地起名叫「穌苛特。」
18 And Jacob comes safe [to the] city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encamps before the city,
雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來，平安來到客納罕地的舍根城，在城的對面支搭了帳幕。
19 and he buys the portion of the field where he has stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for one hundred kesitah;
他支搭帳幕的那塊地，是由舍根的父親哈摩爾的兒子們手裏，用一百塊銀錢買來的
20 and he sets up there an altar, and proclaims at it God—the God of Israel.
雅各伯在那裏建立了一座祭壇，稱它為：「大能者以色列的天主。」
