Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
雅各舉目觀看，見以掃來了，後頭跟着四百人，他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結，和兩個使女，
2 and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭，利亞和她的孩子在後頭，拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。
3 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
他自己在他們前頭過去，一連七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
4 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
以掃跑來迎接他，將他抱住，又摟着他的頸項，與他親嘴，兩個人就哭了。
5 and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
以掃舉目看見婦人孩子，就說：「這些和你同行的是誰呢？」雅各說：「這些孩子是上帝施恩給你的僕人的。」
6 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
7 and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
利亞和她的孩子也前來下拜；隨後約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。
8 And he saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
以掃說：「我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢？」雅各說：「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」
9 And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
以掃說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
10 And Jacob saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;
雅各說：「不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你從我手裏收下這禮物；因為我見了你的面，如同見了上帝的面，並且你容納了我。
11 receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
求你收下我帶來給你的禮物；因為上帝恩待我，使我充足。」雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
12 and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
以掃說：「我們可以起身前往，我在你前頭走。」
13 And he saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
雅各對他說：「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩，牛羊也正在乳養的時候，若是催趕一天，群畜都必死了。
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'
求我主在僕人前頭走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那裏。」
15 And Esau saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
以掃說：「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裏。」雅各說：「何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」
16 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
於是，以掃當日起行，回往西珥去了。
17 and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.
雅各就往疏割去，在那裏為自己蓋造房屋，又為牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
18 And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來的時候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示劍城，在城東支搭帳棚，
19 and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
就用一百塊銀子向示劍的父親、哈抹的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地，
20 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
