< 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 sets the maidservants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, 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 himself passed over before them, and bows himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing near to his brother,
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 and Esau runs to meet him, and embraces him, and falls on his neck, and kisses him, and they weep;
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 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.”
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 And the maidservants draw near, they and their children, and bow themselves;
于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜;
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.
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 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.”
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 And Esau says, “I have abundance, my brother, that which you have, let it be for yourself.”
以扫说:“兄弟啊,我的已经够了,你的仍归你吧!”
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 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],
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 says, “Let us journey and go on, and I go on before you.”
以扫说:“我们可以起身前往,我在你前头走。”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 And Esau turns back on that day on his way to Seir;
于是,以扫当日起行,回往西珥去了。
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 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 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;
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 he sets up there an altar, and proclaims at it God—the God of Israel.
在那里筑了一座坛,起名叫伊利·伊罗伊·以色列。
