1 Yakubpun melayangkan pandangnya, lalu dilihatnyalah Esau datang dengan diiringi oleh empat ratus orang. Maka diserahkannyalah sebagian dari anak-anak itu kepada Lea dan sebagian kepada Rahel serta kepada kedua budak perempuan itu.
Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 Ia menempatkan budak-budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anak mereka di muka, Lea beserta anak-anaknya di belakang mereka, dan Rahel beserta Yusuf di belakang sekali.
He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Dan ia sendiri berjalan di depan mereka dan ia sujud sampai ke tanah tujuh kali, hingga ia sampai ke dekat kakaknya itu.
He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
4 Tetapi Esau berlari mendapatkan dia, didekapnya dia, dipeluk lehernya dan diciumnya dia, lalu bertangis-tangisanlah mereka.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.
5 Kemudian Esau melayangkan pandangnya, dilihatnyalah perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak itu, lalu ia bertanya: "Siapakah orang-orang yang beserta engkau itu?" Jawab Yakub: "Anak-anak yang telah dikaruniakan Allah kepada hambamu ini."
And he looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 Sesudah itu mendekatlah budak-budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anaknya, lalu mereka sujud.
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Mendekat jugalah Lea beserta anak-anaknya, dan merekapun sujud. Kemudian mendekatlah Yusuf beserta Rahel, dan mereka juga sujud.
Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Berkatalah Esau: "Apakah maksudmu dengan seluruh pasukan, yang telah bertemu dengan aku tadi?" Jawabnya: "Untuk mendapat kasih tuanku."
Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9 Tetapi kata Esau: "Aku mempunyai banyak, adikku; peganglah apa yang ada padamu."
Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
10 Tetapi kata Yakub: "Janganlah kiranya demikian; jikalau aku telah mendapat kasihmu, terimalah persembahanku ini dari tanganku, karena memang melihat mukamu adalah bagiku serasa melihat wajah Allah, dan engkaupun berkenan menyambut aku.
Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted me.
11 Terimalah kiranya pemberian tanda salamku ini, yang telah kubawa kepadamu, sebab Allah telah memberi karunia kepadaku dan akupun mempunyai segala-galanya." Lalu dibujuk-bujuknyalah Esau, sehingga diterimanya.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 Kata Esau: "Baiklah kita berangkat berjalan terus; aku akan menyertai engkau."
Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
13 Tetapi Yakub berkata kepadanya: "Tuanku maklum, bahwa anak-anak ini masih kurang kuat, dan bahwa beserta aku ada kambing domba dan lembu sapi yang masih menyusui, jika diburu-buru, satu hari saja, maka seluruh kumpulan binatang itu akan mati.
Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
14 Biarlah kiranya tuanku berjalan lebih dahulu dari hambamu ini dan aku mau dengan hati-hati beringsut maju menurut langkah hewan, yang berjalan di depanku dan menurut langkah anak-anak, sampai aku tiba pada tuanku di Seir."
Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
15 Lalu kata Esau: "Kalau begitu, baiklah kutinggalkan padamu beberapa orang dari pengiringku." Tetapi Yakub berkata: "Tidak usah demikian! Biarlah aku mendapat kasih tuanku saja."
Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
16 Jadi pulanglah Esau pada hari itu berjalan ke Seir.
So Esau returned that day on the road to Seir.
17 Tetapi Yakub berangkat ke Sukot, lalu mendirikan rumah, dan untuk ternaknya dibuatnya gubuk-gubuk. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Sukot.
But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Dalam perjalanannya dari Padan-Aram sampailah Yakub dengan selamat ke Sikhem, di tanah Kanaan, lalu ia berkemah di sebelah timur kota itu.
After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
19 Kemudian dibelinyalah dari anak-anak Hemor, bapa Sikhem, sebidang tanah, tempat ia memasang kemahnya, dengan harga seratus kesita.
He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
20 Ia mendirikan mezbah di situ dan dinamainya itu: "Allah Israel ialah Allah."
He erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
