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.
Yakup baktı, Esav dört yüz adamıyla birlikte geliyor. Çocukları Lea'yla Rahel'e ve iki cariyeye teslim etti.
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.
Cariyelerle çocuklarını öne, Lea'yla çocuklarını arkaya, Rahel'le Yusuf'u da en arkaya dizdi.
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.
Kendisi hepsinin önüne geçti. Ağabeyine yaklaşırken yedi kez yere kapandı.
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.
Ne var ki Esav koşarak onu karşıladı, kucaklayıp boynuna sarıldı, öptü. İkisi de ağlamaya başladı.
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.”
Esav kadınlarla çocuklara baktı. “Kim bu yanındakiler?” diye sordu. Yakup, “Tanrı'nın kuluna lütfettiği çocuklar” dedi.
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Cariyelerle yanlarındaki çocuklar yaklaşıp eğildiler.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Ardından Lea çocuklarıyla birlikte yaklaşıp eğildi. En son da Yusuf'la Rahel yaklaşıp eğildi.
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.”
Esav, “Karşılaştığım öbür topluluğun anlamı neydi?” diye sordu. Yakup, “Efendimi hoşnut etmek için” diye yanıtladı.
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
Esav, “Benim yeterince malım var, kardeşim” dedi, “Senin malın sana kalsın.”
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!
Yakup, “Olmaz, eğer sevgini kazandımsa, lütfen armağanımı kabul et” diye karşılık verdi, “Senin yüzünü görmek Tanrı'nın yüzünü görmek gibi. Çünkü beni kabul ettin.
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.
Lütfen sana gönderdiğim armağanı al. Tanrı bana öyle iyilik yaptı ki, her şeyim var.” Armağanı kabul ettirinceye kadar diretti.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
Esav, “Haydi yolumuza devam edelim” dedi, “Ben önünsıra gideceğim.”
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.
Yakup, “Efendim, bilirsin, çocuklar narindir” dedi, “Yanımdaki koyunların, sığırların yavruları var. Hayvanları bir gün daha yürümeye zorlarsak hepsi ölür.
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].”
Efendim, lütfen sen kulunun önünden git. Ben hayvanlarla çocuklara ayak uydurarak yavaş yavaş geleceğim. Seir'de efendime yetişirim.”
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.”
Esav, “Yanımdaki adamlardan birkaçını yanına vereyim” dedi. Yakup, “Niçin?” diye sordu, “Ben yalnızca seni hoşnut etmek istiyorum.”
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Esav o gün Seir'e dönmek üzere yola koyuldu.
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’].
Yakup'sa Sukkot'a gitti. Orada kendine ev, hayvanlarına barınaklar yaptı. Bu yüzden oraya Sukkot adını verdi.
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.
Yakup güvenlik içinde Paddan-Aram'dan Kenan ülkesine, Şekem Kenti'ne vardı. Kentin yakınında konakladı.
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.
Çadırını kurduğu arsayı Şekem'in babası Hamor'un oğullarından yüz parça gümüşe aldı.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
Orada bir sunak kurarak El-Elohe-İsrail adını verdi.
