Pirmā Mozus 33
1 Un Jēkabs pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, Ēsavs nāca un četrsimt vīri līdz ar to; tad viņš piedalīja tos bērnus pie Leas un pie Rahēles un pie tām divām kalponēm,
[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 Un lika tās kalpones un viņu bērnus priekšā, un Leū un viņas bērnus tiem pakaļ, un Rahēli un Jāzepu visu pēc.
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 Un viņš pats gāja tiem priekšā un klanījās septiņreiz pie zemes, tiekams viņš tapa klāt pie sava brāļa.
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 Un Ēsavs tecēja tam pretī un to apkampa un metās viņam ap kaklu un to skūpstīja, un tie raudāja.
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 Un viņš pacēla savas acis un redzēja tās sievas un tos bērnus un sacīja: kas šie tev ir? Un tas sacīja: šie ir tie bērni, ar ko Dievs tavu kalpu svētījis.
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 Tad tās kalpones piegāja, viņas un viņu bērni, un klanījās
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 Un Lea piegāja arīdzan un viņas bērni, un klanījās, un pēc nāca Jāzeps un Rahēle un klanījās.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 Un viņš sacīja: kas viss tas tev par pulku, ko es esmu sastapis? Un tas sacīja: lai es žēlastību atrastu tavās acīs, mans kungs.
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 Un Ēsavs sacīja: man pašam diezgan, brāli; paturi, kas tev ir.
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Bet Jēkabs sacīja: ak ne! Lūdzams, ja es žēlastību esmu atradis tavās acīs, tad ņem manu dāvanu no manas rokas; jo tāpēc es tavu vaigu esmu redzējis, tā kā redz Dieva vaigu, un tu mani mīļi esi saņēmis.
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 Pieņem lūdzams manu svētību, kas tev ir pievesta, jo Dievs mani ar to svētījis, un man ir viss papilnam. Un tas viņu spieda, ka viņš to ņēma.
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 Un viņš sacīja: nāc, ejam projām, es iešu tev līdzi.
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Bet tas uz viņu sacīja: mans kungs zin, ka man sīki bērni un avis un teļu mātes; kad tos tikai vienu dienu pārdzītu, tad man visi lopiņi apmirtu.
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 Ej, kungs, lūdzams savam kalpam papriekš, un es iešu ceļā lēniņām, tā kā mani lopiņi spēj, kas manā priekšā, un tā kā tie bērni spēj, tiekams es nāku pie sava kunga Seīrā.
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 Un Ēsavs sacīja: tad nu es atstāšu pie tevis kādus no tiem ļaudīm, kas pie manis. Un tas sacīja: kam tā vajag? Lai žēlastību atrodu sava kunga acīs.
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 Un Ēsavs tanī dienā griezās atpakaļ pa savu ceļu uz Seīru.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Bet Jēkabs nogāja uz Sukotu un uzcēla sev namu, un taisīja laidarus saviem lopiem; tādēļ viņš tās vietas vārdu nosauca Sukotu (laidari).
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 Un Jēkabs nonāca sveiks vesels Šehemas pilsētā, kas ir Kanaāna zemē, no Mezopotamijas nākdams, un apmetās tās pilsētas priekšā.
[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 Un viņš pirka vienu zemes gabalu no Hamora, Šehema tēva, bērniem, par simts sudraba gabaliem, un uzcēla tur savu dzīvokli
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.
20 Un uztaisīja tur altāri un to nosauca: tas Stiprais Dievs ir Israēla Dievs.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
