Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
雅各伯舉目，看見厄撒烏帶了四百人前來，遂將孩子分別交與肋阿、辣黑耳和兩個婢女；
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
將兩個婢女和她們的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最後是辣黑耳和若瑟。
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother.
他自己走在他們前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到來到哥哥前。
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
厄撒烏卻向他跑來，抱住他，撲在他頸上吻他，兩人都哭了。
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given to thy servant.
厄撒烏舉目，看見女人和孩子，遂問說：「這些人是你的什麼人﹖」雅各伯答說：「是天主恩賜給你僕人的孩子。」
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
肋阿和她的孩子也前來叩拜了，最後若瑟和辣黑耳才近前來叩拜。
8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [these are] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
厄撒烏又問說：「我所見的這一大隊，有什麼意思﹖」雅各伯答說：「這是蒙我主悅納的。」
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷! 」
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been pleased with me.
雅各伯說：「請不要這樣! 我若真蒙你悅納，請你收下我手中的禮物；因為我見了你的面，就如見了天主的面；你實在仁厚接待了我。
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough: and he urged him, and he took [it].
請你收下我獻給你的禮品；因為天主厚待了我，我什麼都有了。」由於雅各伯極力懇請，他才收下了。
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」
13 And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me, and if men should over-drive them one day, all the flock will die.
雅各伯對他說：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我還要照顧尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顧催趕，全群牲畜都要死盡。
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me, and the children are able to endure; until I come to my lord to Seir.
還是請我主在你僕人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子們的腳步，慢慢前行；直至達到色意依爾我主那裏。」
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that [are] with me: And he said, What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
厄撒烏說：「讓我留下幾個跟我的人陪著你。」雅各伯說：「只要我能蒙我主悅納，又何必如此! 」
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
雅各伯卻動身往穌苛特去了，在那裏為自己蓋了一座房屋，為牲畜搭了些棚子；為此給那地起名叫「穌苛特。」
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來，平安來到客納罕地的舍根城，在城的對面支搭了帳幕。
19 And he bought a part of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
他支搭帳幕的那塊地，是由舍根的父親哈摩爾的兒子們手裏，用一百塊銀錢買來的
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
雅各伯在那裏建立了一座祭壇，稱它為：「大能者以色列的天主。」
