창세기 33
1 야곱이 눈을 들어 보니 에서가 사백인을 거느리고 오는지라 그 자식들을 나누어 레아와 라헬과 두 여종에게 맡기고
[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.
2 여종과 그 자식들은 앞에 두고 레아와 그 자식들은 다음에 두고 라헬과 요셉은 뒤에 두고
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.
3 자기는 그들 앞에서 나아가되 몸을 일곱번 땅에 굽히며 그 형 에서에게 가까이 하니
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.
4 에서가 달려와서 그를 맞아서 안고 목을 어긋맞기고 그와 입맞추고 피차 우니라
But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
5 에서가 눈을 들어 여인과 자식들을 보고 묻되 `너와 함께한 이들은 누구냐?' 야곱이 가로되 `하나님이 주의 종에게 은혜로 주신 자식이니이다'
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.”
6 때에 여종들이 그 자식으로 더불어 나아와 절하고
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 레아도 그 자식으로 더불어 나아와 절하고 그 후에 요셉이 라헬로 더불어 나아와 절하니
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 에서가 또 가로되 `나의 만난 바 이 모든 떼는 무슨 까닭이냐?' 야곱이 가로되 `내 주께 은혜를 입으려 함이니이다'
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.”
9 에서가 가로되 `내 동생아, 내게 있는 것이 족하니 네 소유는 네게 두라'
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 야곱이 가로되 `그렇지 아니하니이다 형님께 은혜를 얻었사오면 청컨대 내 손에서 이 예물을 받으소서 내가 형님의 얼굴을 뵈온즉 하나님의 얼굴을 본 것 같사오며 형님도 나를 기뻐하심이니이이다
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!
11 하나님이 내게 은혜를 베푸셨고 나의 소유도 족하오니 청컨대 내가 형님께 드리는 예물을 받으소서' 하고 그에게 강권하매 받으니라
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.
12 에서가 가로되 `우리가 떠나가자 내가 너의 앞잡이가 되리라'
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내 주도 아시거니와 자식들은 유약하고 내게 있는 양떼와 소가 새끼를 데렸은즉 하루만 과히 몰면 모든 떼가 죽으리니
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.
14 청컨대 내 주는 종보다 앞서 가소서 나는 앞에 가는 짐승과 자식의 행보대로 천천히 인도하여 세일로 가서 내 주께 나아가리이다'
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].”
15 에서가 가로되 `내가 내 종자 수인을 네게 머물리라' 야곱이 가로되 `어찌하여 그리하리이까? 나로 내 주께 은혜를 얻게 하소서' 하매
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.”
16 이 날에 에서는 세일로 회정하고
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 야곱은 숙곳에 이르러 자기를 위하여 집을 짓고 짐승을 위하여 우릿간을 지은고로 그 땅 이름을 숙곳이라 부르더라
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’].
18 야곱이 밧단아람에서부터 평안히 가나안 땅 세겜 성에 이르러 성 앞에 그 장막을 치고
[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.
19 그 장막 친 밭을 세겜의 아비 하몰의 아들들의 손에서 은 일백개로 사고
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.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
