Genesis 33
1 Forsothe Jacob reiside hise iyen, and seiy Esau comynge, and foure hundrid men with hym; and he departide the sones of Lia, and of Rachel, and of bothe seruauntessis.
雅各举目观看，见以扫来了，后头跟着四百人，他就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结，和两个使女，
2 And he puttide euer either handmaide, and the fre children of hem, in the bigynnyng; sotheli he puttide Lia, and her sones, in the secounde place; forsothe he puttide Rachel and Joseph the laste.
并且叫两个使女和她们的孩子在前头，利亚和她的孩子在后头，拉结和约瑟在尽后头。
3 And Jacob yede bifore, and worschipide lowli to erthe seuensithis, til his brothir neiyede.
他自己在他们前头过去，一连七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
4 And so Esau ran ayens his brothir, and collide hym, and Esau helde his necke, and kisside, and wepte.
以扫跑来迎接他，将他抱住，又搂着他的颈项，与他亲嘴，两个人就哭了。
5 And whanne the iyen weren reisid, he seiy the wymmen, and the litle children of hem, and seide, What wolen these to hem silf? and wher thei pertenen to thee? Jacob answeride, Thei ben the litle children, whiche God hath youe to me, thi seruaunt.
以扫举目看见妇人孩子，就说：“这些和你同行的是谁呢？”雅各说：“这些孩子是 神施恩给你的仆人的。”
6 And the handmaydis and her sones neiyeden, and weren bowid.
于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜；
7 Also Lya neiyede with hir fre children; and whanne thei hadden worschipid in lijk maner, Joseph and Rachel the laste worschipeden.
利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜；随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。
8 And Esau seide, What ben these cumpanyes, whiche Y mette? Jacob answerde, That Y schulde fynde grace bifore my lord.
以扫说：“我所遇见的这些群畜是什么意思呢？”雅各说：“是要在我主面前蒙恩的。”
9 And he seide, My brother, Y haue ful many thingis, thi thingis be to thee.
以扫说：“兄弟啊，我的已经够了，你的仍归你吧！”
10 And Jacob seide, Y biseche, nyle thou so, but if Y foond grace in thin iyen, take thou a litil yifte of myn hondis; for Y seiy so thi face as I seiy the cheer of God;
雅各说：“不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你从我手里收下这礼物；因为我见了你的面，如同见了 神的面，并且你容纳了我。
11 be thou merciful to me, and resseyue the blessyng which Y brouyte to thee, and which blessyng God yyuynge alle thingis yaf to me. Vnnethis, while the brothir compellide,
求你收下我带来给你的礼物；因为 神恩待我，使我充足。”雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
12 he resseyuede, and seide, Go we to gidere, and Y schal be felowe of thi weie.
以扫说：“我们可以起身前往，我在你前头走。”
13 And Jacob seide, My lord, thou knowist that Y haue litle children tendre, and scheep, and kien with calue with me, and if Y schal make hem for to trauele more in goynge, alle the flockis schulen die in o dai;
雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们年幼娇嫩，牛羊也正在乳养的时候，若是催赶一天，群畜都必死了。
14 my lord go bifore his seruaunt, and Y schal sue litil and litil hise steppis, as I shal se that my litle children mown, til Y come to my lord, in to Seir.
求我主在仆人前头走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那里。”
15 Esau answeride, Y preie thee, that of the puple which is with me, nameli felowis of thi weie dwelle. Jacob seide, It is no nede; Y haue nede to this o thing oneli, that Y fynde grace in thi siyt, my lord.
以扫说：“容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。”雅各说：“何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。”
16 And so Esau turnede ayen in that dai in the weie bi which he cam, in to Seir.
于是，以扫当日起行，回往西珥去了。
17 And Jacob cam in to Sochot, where whanne he hadde bildid an hows, and hadde set tentis, he clepide the name of that place Sochot, that is, tabernaclis.
雅各就往疏割去，在那里为自己盖造房屋，又为牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
18 And Jacob passide in to Salem, a citee of Sichimis, whiche is in the lond of Canaan, aftir that he turnede ayen fro Mesopotanye of Sirie, and he dwellide besidis the citee.
雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来的时候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示剑城，在城东支搭帐棚，
19 And he bouyte for an hundrid lambren a part of the feeld, in which he settide tabernaclis, of the sones of Emor, fadir of Sichem.
就用一百块银子向示剑的父亲、哈抹的子孙买了支帐棚的那块地，
20 And whanne he hadde reisid an auter there, he inwardly clepide on it the strongeste God of Israel.
在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利·伊罗伊·以色列。
