Genesis 33
1 [Then Jacob joined the rest of his family]. [Later that day] Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, and there were 400 men with him. [Jacob was worried because of that], so he separated the children. He put Leah’s children with Leah, Rachel’s children with Rachel, and the two female slaves’ children with their mothers.
Pozdvih pak očí svých Jákob, uzřel, an Ezau jde, a čtyři sta mužů s ním; i rozdělil syny Líe zvlášť a Ráchele zvlášť, a obou děvek zvlášť.
2 He put the two female slaves and their children in front. He put Leah and her children next. He put Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
Postavil, pravím, děvky s syny jejich napřed, potom Líu s syny jejími za nimi, Ráchel pak a Jozefa nejzáze.
3 He himself went ahead of them all, and as he continued to approach his older brother, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground seven times.
A sám šel před nimi, a poklonil se až k zemi po sedmkrát, až právě přišel k bratru svému.
4 But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
I běžel Ezau proti němu, a objal ho; a pad na šíji jeho, líbal ho. I plakali.
5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and the children. He asked, “Who are these people who are with you?” Jacob replied, “These are the wives and children that God has graciously/kindly given to me.”
Pozdvih pak očí svých, a spatřiv ženy s dětmi, řekl: Kdo jsou onino s tebou? Odpověděl: Jsou dítky, kteréž Bůh dal z milosti služebníku tvému.
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Mezi tím přiblížily se děvky s syny svými, i poklonili se.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Přiblížila se také Lía s syny svými, a poklonili se; a potom přiblížil se Jozef a Ráchel, a také se poklonili.
8 Esau asked, “What is the meaning of all the animals that I saw?” Jacob replied, “I am giving them to you, sir, so that you will feel good toward me.”
I řekl Ezau: K čemu jest všecken ten houf, kterýž jsem potkal? Odpověděl: Abych nalezl milost před očima pána mého.
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
Tedy řekl Ezau: Mám hojně, bratře můj; nech sobě, což tvého jest.
10 But Jacob said, “No, please, if you feel good toward me, accept these gifts from me. You have greeted me very kindly. Seeing your smiling face assures me [that you have forgiven me]. It is like seeing the face of God!
I řekl Jákob: Nezbraňuj se, prosím; jestliže jsem nyní nalezl milost před očima tvýma, přijmi dar můj z ruky mé, poněvadž jsem viděl tvář tvou, jako bych viděl tvář Boží, a laskavě jsi mne přijal.
11 Please accept these gifts that I have brought to you, because God has acted kindly toward me, and I still have plenty of animals!” Jacob kept on urging him to accept the animals, and finally he accepted them.
Přijmi, prosím, dar můj obětovaný tobě, poněvadž štědře obdařil mne Bůh, a mám všeho dosti. Takž ho přinutil, a on vzal.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
I dí: Poď, a jděme; já půjdu s tebou.
13 Jacob [had no intention to go with Esau], but he said, “You know, sir, that the children are weak, and that I must take care of the female sheep and cows that are (sucking their mother’s milk/nursing their young). If I force them to walk fast for a long distance in just one day, the animals will all die.
I řekl k němu Jákob: Ví pán můj, že děti jsou outlí, a mám s sebou ovce i krávy březí; kteréžto budou-li hnány přes moc jeden den, pomře mi všecken dobytek.
14 You go ahead of me. I will lead the animals slowly, but I will walk as fast as the children and animals can walk. I will catch up with you in Seir, [in the land where the descendants of Edom live].”
Nechžť medle jde pán můj před služebníkem svým, já pak poznenáhlu se poberu, tak jakž bude moci jíti stádo, kteréž před sebou mám, a jakž postačiti budou moci děti, až tak dojdu ku pánu svému do Seir.
15 Esau said, “Then allow me to leave with you some of the men who came with me, [to protect you].” But Jacob replied, “(Why do that?/There is no need to do that!) [RHQ] The only thing that I want is for you to act friendly toward me.”
I řekl Ezau: Nechť ale pozůstavím něco lidu, kterýž mám s sebou. I odpověděl: K čemu to? Nechť toliko naleznu milost před očima pána svého.
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Tedy Ezau toho dne navrátil se cestou svou do Seir.
17 But [instead of going to Seir], Jacob and his family went to [a place called] Succoth. There he built a house for himself and his family, and built shelters for his livestock. That is the reason they named the place Succoth, [which means ‘shelters’].
Jákob pak bral se do Sochot, a ustavěl sobě dům, a dobytku svému zdělal stáje; protož nazval jméno místa toho Sochot.
18 [Some time later, ] Jacob and his family left Paddan-Aram [in Mesopotamia], and they traveled safely to the Canaan region. There they set up their tents in a field near Shechem city.
A tak Jákob navracuje se z Pádan Syrské, přišel ve zdraví k městu Sichem, kteréž jest v zemi Kananejské, a položil se před městem.
19 One of the leaders of the people in that area was named Hamor. Hamor had several sons. Jacob paid the sons of Hamor 100 pieces of silver for the piece of ground on which they set up their tents.
I koupil díl pole toho, na němž byl rozbil stan svůj, od synů Emora, otce Sichemova, za sto ovec.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
A postavil tu oltář, kterémužto dal jméno Bůh silný, Bůh Izraelský.
