1 Мојсијева 33
1 А Јаков подигавши очи своје погледа, а то Исав иде, и четири стотине људи с њим. И раздели децу уз Лију и уз Рахиљу и уз две робиње.
And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
2 И намести напред робиње и њихову децу, па Лију и њену децу за њима, а најпосле Рахиљу и Јосифа.
And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 А сам прође напред, и поклони се до земље седам пута докле дође до брата свог.
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
4 А Исав притрча преда њ и загрли га и паде му око врата и целива га, и обојица се заплакаше,
Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
5 И Исав подигавши очи угледа жене и децу, па рече: Ко су ти оно? А Јаков рече: Деца, коју Бог милостиво дарова слузи твом.
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
6 И приступише робиње с децом својом, и поклонише се.
Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
7 Потом приступи и Лија и деца њена, и поклонише се; а најпосле приступи Јосиф и Рахиља, и поклонише се.
Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
8 А Исав рече: Шта ће ти читава војска она коју сретох? А он рече: Да нађем милост пред господарем својим.
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
9 А Исав рече: Има, брате, у мене доста; нека теби шта је твоје.
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
10 А Јаков рече: Не; ако сам сада нашао милост пред тобом, прими дар из моје руке, јер видех лице твоје као да видех лице Божје, тако си ме лепо дочекао.
And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
11 Прими дар мој, који ти је доведен; јер ме је обилато обдарио Бог, и имам свега. И навали на њ, те прими.
And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
12 После рече Исав: Хајде да идемо, ићи ћу и ја с тобом.
And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
13 А Јаков му рече: Зна господар мој да су ова деца нејака, и имам оваца и крава дојилица, па ако их устерам један дан, погинуће ми све стадо.
And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
14 Него господар мој нека иде пред слугом својим, а ја ћу полако ићи, колико могу деца и стока, докле дођем ка господару свом у Сир.
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.
15 А Исав рече: А оно да ти оставим неколико људи што су са мном. А он рече: На шта? Дај да нађем милост пред господарем својим.
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
16 И тако Исав врати се исти дан својим путем у Сир.
So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
17 А Јаков отиде у Сокот, и онде начини себи кућу а стоци својој начини стаје; зато назва оно место Сокот.
And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
18 После дође Јаков здраво у град Сихем у земљи хананској, вративши се из Падан-Арама, и намести се према граду.
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
19 И купи комад земље, где разапе шатор свој, од синова Емора оца Сихемовог за сто новаца.
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
20 И начини онде жртвеник, и назва га: Силни Бог Израиљев.
And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
