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.
Dari jauh, Yakub melihat Esau dengan empat ratus anak buahnya mulai mendekat ke arah mereka. Maka dia membagi keluarganya menjadi empat kelompok: Lea dengan anak-anaknya, Rahel dengan anaknya, dan kedua budak perempuannya dengan anak-anak mereka masing-masing.
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.
Yakub menempatkan kelompok dua budak perempuannya bersama anak-anak mereka paling depan. Di belakang mereka adalah kelompok Lea bersama anak-anaknya, dan di barisan paling belakang, dia menempatkan Rahel dan Yusuf.
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.
Yakub sendiri berjalan di depan mereka semua. Sambil mendekati kakaknya, Yakub bersujud tujuh kali untuk menghormati Esau.
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.
Tetapi Esau berlari menghampiri Yakub, lalu memeluk dan menciumnya. Mereka pun bertangis-tangisan.
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.”
Ketika Esau melihat para perempuan dan anak-anak di belakang Yakub, dia bertanya, “Siapa orang-orang yang bersamamu itu?” Jawab Yakub, “Mereka adalah anak-anak yang sudah Allah karuniakan kepada hambamu ini.”
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Kedua budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anak mendekat. Mereka bersujud untuk menghormati Esau.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Kemudian Lea bersama anak-anaknya mendekat dan bersujud untuk menghormati Esau. Demikian juga Rahel dan Yusuf melakukan hal yang sama kepada Esau.
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.”
Esau berkata, “Apa maksudmu dengan kelompok-kelompok yang aku temui dalam perjalanan menuju ke sini?” Yakub menjawab, “Untuk mendapatkan kebaikan hati Tuan, supaya Tuan mau menerima aku.”
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
Kata Esau, “Adikku, aku sudah berkecukupan, biarlah apa yang kamu miliki itu tetap menjadi milikmu!”
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!
Tetapi jawab Yakub, “Jangan! Kalau memang Tuan sudah berbaik hati dan mau menerima aku kembali, mohon terimalah pemberianku. Aku sangat senang melihat wajah Tuan lagi, rasanya seperti sedang melihat wajah Allah.
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.
Tolong terimalah pemberian yang aku bawa ini, karena Allah sudah sangat berbaik hati kepadaku dan memberikan segala sesuatu yang aku perlukan.” Yakub terus memohon sampai akhirnya Esau mau menerima pemberian itu.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
Esau berkata, “Mari kita teruskan perjalanan ini. Biarlah aku berjalan di depanmu, dan orang-orangku akan mendampingimu untuk menunjukkan jalan.”
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.
Tetapi Yakub menjawab, “Tuan pasti maklum bahwa anak-anak ini masih lemah, dan kami juga membawa beberapa induk sapi, domba, dan kambing yang masih menyusui. Kalau mereka harus berjalan jauh selama satu hari saja, semua kawanan ternak itu akan mati.
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].”
Biarlah Tuan berjalan lebih dulu. Kami akan menyusul pelan-pelan, agar sapi dan ternak lainnya selamat dan anak-anak tidak terlalu lelah, sampai kami bertemu dengan Tuan di 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.”
Kata Esau lagi, “Kalau begitu, biarlah aku meninggalkan beberapa anak buahku untuk berjalan bersamamu.” Jawab Yakub, “Tidak usah, Tuan! Aku sudah sangat senang bisa mendapat kebaikan hati Tuan yang begitu besar.”
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Maka pada hari itu juga, Esau kembali ke 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’].
sedangkan Yakub berjalan menuju Sukot. Di Sukot, Yakub membangun sebuah rumah bagi keluarganya dan membuat beberapa kandang bagi ternaknya. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Sukot.
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.
Beberapa waktu sesudah Yakub dan keluarganya berangkat dari Padan Aram, mereka tiba dengan selamat di kota Sikem di negeri Kanaan. Lalu mereka mendirikan kemah di dekat kota itu.
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.
Yakub membeli tanah tempat mereka berkemah dari keluarga Hemor, ayah Sikem, seharga seratus keping perak.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
Di situ, Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamainya Allah Israel Berkuasa.
