Postanak 33
1 A Jakov podigav oèi svoje pogleda, a to Isav ide, i èetiri stotine ljudi s njim. I razdijeli djecu uz Liju i uz Rahilju i uz dvije robinje.
Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2 I namjesti naprijed robinje i njihovu djecu, pa Liju i njezinu djecu za njima, a najposlije Rahilju i Josifa.
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 A sam proðe naprijed, i pokloni se do zemlje sedam puta dokle doðe do brata svojega.
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 A Isav pritrèa preda nj i zagrli ga i pade mu oko vrata i cjeliva ga, i obojica se zaplakaše,
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 I Isav podigav oèi ugleda žene i djecu, pa reèe: ko su ti ono? A Jakov reèe: djeca, koju Bog milostivo darova sluzi tvojemu.
When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
6 I pristupiše robinje s djecom svojom, i pokloniše se.
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 Potom pristupi i Lija i djeca njezina, i pokloniše se; a najposlije pristupi Josif i Rahilja, i pokloniše se.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 A Isav reèe: šta æe ti èitava vojska ona koju sretoh? A on reèe: da naðem milost pred gospodarom svojim.
“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
9 A Isav reèe: ima, brate, u mene dosta; neka tebi što je tvoje.
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10 A Jakov reèe: ne; ako sam sada našao milost pred tobom, primi dar iz moje ruke, jer vidjeh lice tvoje kao da vidjeh lice Božje, tako si me lijepo doèekao.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
11 Primi dar moj, koji ti je doveden; jer me je obilato obdario Bog, i imam svega. I navali na nj, te primi.
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
12 Poslije reèe Isav: hajde da idemo, iæi æu i ja s tobom.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13 A Jakov mu reèe: zna gospodar moj da su ova djeca nejaka, i imam ovaca i krava dojilica, pa ako ih ustjeram jedan dan, poginuæe mi sve stado.
But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
14 Nego gospodar moj neka ide pred slugom svojim, a ja æu polako iæi koliko mogu djeca i stoka, dokle doðem ka gospodaru svojemu u Sir.
Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
15 A Isav reèe: a ono da ti ostavim nekoliko ljudi što su sa mnom. A on reèe: našto? daj da naðem milost pred gospodarom svojim.
“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 I tako Isav vrati se isti dan svojim putem u Sir.
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17 A Jakov otide u Sokot, i ondje naèini sebi kuæu a stoci svojoj naèini staje; zato nazva ono mjesto Sokot.
but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
18 Poslije doðe Jakov zdravo u grad Sihem u zemlji Hananskoj, vrativ se iz Padan-Arama, i namjesti se prema gradu.
After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
19 I kupi komad zemlje, gdje razape šator svoj, od sinova Emora oca Sihemova za sto novaca.
And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
20 I naèini ondje žrtvenik, i nazva ga: Silni Bog Izrailjev.
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
