Gênesis 33
1 E levantou Jacob os seus olhos, e olhou, e eis que vinha Esaú, e quatrocentos homens com ele. Então repartiu os filhos entre Leah e Rachel, e as duas servas.
[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 E pôs as servas e seus filhos na frente, e a Leah e seus filhos atráz: porém a Rachel e José os derradeiros.
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 E ele mesmo passou adiante deles, e inclinou-se à terra sete vezes, até que chegou a seu irmão.
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 Então Esaú correu-lhe ao encontro, e abraçou-o, e lançou-se sobre o seu pescoço, e beijou-o; e choraram.
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 Depois levantou os seus olhos, e viu as mulheres, e os meninos, e disse: Quem são estes contigo? E ele disse: Os filhos que Deus graciosamente tem dado a teu servo.
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 Então chegaram as servas; elas, e os seus filhos, e inclinaram-se.
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 E chegou também Leah com seus filhos, e inclinaram-se: e depois chegou José e Rachel, e inclinaram-se.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 E disse Esaú: De que te serve todo este bando que tenho encontrado? E ele disse: Para achar graça aos olhos de meu senhor.
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 Mas Esaú disse: Eu tenho bastante, meu irmão; seja para ti o que tens.
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Então disse Jacob: Não, se agora tenho achado graça em teus olhos, peço-te que tomes o meu presente da minha mão: porquanto tenho visto o teu rosto, como se tivesse visto o rosto de Deus, e tomaste contentamento em mim.
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 Toma, peço-te, a minha benção, que te foi trazida; porque Deus graciosamente ma tem dado; e porque tenho de tudo. E instou com ele, até que a tomou.
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 E disse: Caminhemos, e andemos, e eu partirei adiante de ti.
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Porém ele lhe disse: Meu senhor sabe que estes filhos são tenros, e que tenho comigo ovelhas e vacas de leite; se as afadigarem somente um dia, todo o rebanho morrerá.
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 Ora passe o meu senhor diante da face de seu servo; e eu irei como guia pouco a pouco, conforme ao passo do gado que é adiante da minha face, e conforme ao passo dos meninos, até que chegue a meu senhor em Seir.
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 E Esaú disse: Deixarei logo contigo desta gente, que está comigo. E ele disse: Para que é isso? Basta que eu ache graça aos olhos de meu senhor.
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 Assim se tornou Esaú aquele dia pelo seu caminho a Seir.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Jacob, porém, partiu para Succoth e edificou para si uma casa; e fez cabanas para o seu gado: por isso chamou o nome daquele lugar Succoth.
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 E chegou Jacob salvo à cidade de Sichem, que está na terra de Canaan, quando vinha de Paddan-aram; e fez o seu assento diante da cidade.
[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 E comprou uma parte do campo em que estendera a sua tenda, da mão dos filhos de Hemor, pai de Sichem, por cem peças de dinheiro.
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 E levantou ali um altar, e chamou-o Deus, o Deus de Israel.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
