Бытие 33
1 Воззрев же Иаков очима своима, виде: и се, Исав брат его идый, и четыриста мужей с ним. И раздели Иаков дети Лии и Рахили и двум рабыням,
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 и постави обе рабыни и сыны их в первых, Лию же и дети ея позади, а Рахиль и Иосифа в последних:
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 сам же изыде первее пред ними и поклонися до земли седмижды, дондеже приближися к брату своему.
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 И притече Исав во сретение ему: и объемь его, припаде на выю его и облобыза его: и плакастася оба.
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 И воззрев Исав, виде жены и дети и рече: что сии тебе суть? Он же рече: дети, имиже помилова Бог раба твоего.
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 И приступиша рабыни и дети их и поклонишася:
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 и приступи Лиа и дети ея и поклонишася: посем же приступи Рахиль и Иосиф и поклонистася.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 И рече: что сия тебе суть, полцы сии вси, яже сретох? Он же рече: да обрящет раб твой благодать пред тобою, господине.
“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 Рече же Исав: суть мне многа, брате: да будут тебе твоя.
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10 И рече Иаков: аще обретох благодать пред тобою, приими дары от руку моею: сего ради видех лице твое, яко бы аще кто видел лице Божие: и возблаговолиши о мне:
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 приими благословение мое, еже принесох тебе, яко помилова мя Бог, и суть ми вся. И принуди его, и взя.
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 И рече: воставше пойдем прямо.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13 Рече же ему: господин мой весть, яко дети мои юны, овцы же и говяда бременны у мене: аще убо пожену я един день, измрет весь скот:
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 да предидет господин мой пред рабом своим: аз же укреплюся на пути умедлением шествия моего, еже предо мною, и якоже возмогут ити дети, дондеже прииду к господину моему в Сиир.
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 И рече Исав: оставлю с тобою от людий сущих со мною. Он же рече: вскую сие? Довлеет, яко обретох благодать пред тобою, господине.
“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 Возвратися же Исав в том дни путем своим в Сиир:
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17 и Иаков пойде в Кущы, и постави себе тамо храмины, и скоту своему сотвори кущы: сего ради нарече имя месту тому Кущы.
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 И прииде Иаков в салим град Сикимск, иже есть в земли Ханаанстей, егда прииде от Месопотамии Сирския, и ста пред лицем града:
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 и купи часть села, идеже постави кущу свою тамо, у Еммора отца Сихемля, стома агнцы:
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 и постави тамо жертвенник, и призва Бога Израилева.
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
