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.
А Јаков подигавши очи своје погледа, а то Исав иде, и четири стотине људи с њим. И раздели децу уз Лију и уз Рахиљу и уз две робиње.
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.
И намести напред робиње и њихову децу, па Лију и њену децу за њима, а најпосле Рахиљу и Јосифа.
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.
А сам прође напред, и поклони се до земље седам пута докле дође до брата свог.
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.
А Исав притрча преда њ и загрли га и паде му око врата и целива га, и обојица се заплакаше,
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.”
И Исав подигавши очи угледа жене и децу, па рече: Ко су ти оно? А Јаков рече: Деца, коју Бог милостиво дарова слузи твом.
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
И приступише робиње с децом својом, и поклонише се.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Потом приступи и Лија и деца њена, и поклонише се; а најпосле приступи Јосиф и Рахиља, и поклонише се.
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.”
А Исав рече: Шта ће ти читава војска она коју сретох? А он рече: Да нађем милост пред господарем својим.
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
А Исав рече: Има, брате, у мене доста; нека теби шта је твоје.
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!
А Јаков рече: Не; ако сам сада нашао милост пред тобом, прими дар из моје руке, јер видех лице твоје као да видех лице Божје, тако си ме лепо дочекао.
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.
Прими дар мој, који ти је доведен; јер ме је обилато обдарио Бог, и имам свега. И навали на њ, те прими.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
После рече Исав: Хајде да идемо, ићи ћу и ја с тобом.
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.
А Јаков му рече: Зна господар мој да су ова деца нејака, и имам оваца и крава дојилица, па ако их устерам један дан, погинуће ми све стадо.
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].”
Него господар мој нека иде пред слугом својим, а ја ћу полако ићи, колико могу деца и стока, докле дођем ка господару свом у Сир.
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.”
А Исав рече: А оно да ти оставим неколико људи што су са мном. А он рече: На шта? Дај да нађем милост пред господарем својим.
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
И тако Исав врати се исти дан својим путем у Сир.
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’].
А Јаков отиде у Сокот, и онде начини себи кућу а стоци својој начини стаје; зато назва оно место Сокот.
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.
После дође Јаков здраво у град Сихем у земљи хананској, вративши се из Падан-Арама, и намести се према граду.
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.
И купи комад земље, где разапе шатор свој, од синова Емора оца Сихемовог за сто новаца.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
И начини онде жртвеник, и назва га: Силни Бог Израиљев.
