1 Mojzes 33
1 Jakob je povzdignil svoje oči, pogledal in glej, prišel je Ezav in z njim štiristo mož. Otroke je razdelil Lei in Raheli ter dvema pomočnicama.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
2 Najbolj spredaj je postavil pomočnici ter njune otroke, za njimi Leo ter njene otroke, nazadnje pa Rahelo in Jožefa.
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Šel je pred njimi in se sedemkrat priklonil do tal, dokler se ni približal svojemu bratu.
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 Ezav je stekel, da ga sreča, ga objel, se spustil na njegov vrat in ga poljubil, in oba sta jokala.
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 Povzdignil je svoje oči in zagledal ženske in otroke ter rekel: »Kdo so ti s teboj?« Rekel je: »Otroci, ki jih je Bog milostljivo dal tvojemu služabniku.«
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your servant.
6 Nato sta se približali pomočnici, oni in njuni otroci ter se priklonili.
And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 Tudi Lea s svojimi otroki se je približala in se priklonila in potem sta prišla bliže Jožef in Rahela ter se oba priklonila.
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 Rekel je: »Kaj nameravaš z vso to čredo, ki sem jo srečal?« On pa je rekel: » Ti so, da najdem milost v očeh mojega gospoda.«
And he said, What are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, my lord.
9 Ezav je rekel: »Dovolj imam, moj brat. To, kar imaš, obdrži zase.«
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
10 Jakob je rekel: »Ne, prosim te, če sem torej našel milost v tvojih očeh, potem sprejmi moje darilo v moji roki, kajti zato sem videl tvoj obraz, kot da sem videl Božje obličje in ti si bil zadovoljen z menoj.
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
11 Vzemi, prosim te, moj blagoslov, ki je priveden k tebi, ker je Bog milostljivo postopal z menoj in ker imam dovolj.« Prigovarjal mu je in on je to vzel.
Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 Rekel je: »Naj greva najino potovanje in naj greva, jaz pa bom šel pred teboj.«
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 Rekel mu je: »Moj gospod ve, da so otroci nežni in [da] so z menoj tropi in črede z mladiči in če jih bodo ljudje en dan preveč gonili, bo ves trop poginil.
And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
14 Naj moj gospod, prosim te, gre preko pred svojim služabnikom, jaz pa bom mirno vodil dalje, kolikor bodo živina, ki gre pred menoj in otroci zmožni prenesti, dokler ne pridem k mojemu gospodu v Seír.«
Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Ezav je rekel: »Naj torej pustim s teboj nekaj ljudstva, ki je z menoj.« Rekel je: »Kaj potrebujem to? Naj najdem milost v očeh svojega gospoda.«
And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before you, [my] lord.
16 Tako se je ta dan Ezav vrnil na svojo pot v Seír.
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 Jakob pa je odpotoval v Sukót, si zgradil hišo in naredil šotore za svojo živino. Zato se ime kraja imenuje Sukót.
And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
18 Ko je Jakob prišel iz Padan–arama, je prišel v Salem, mesto v Sihemu, ki je v kánaanski deželi in svoj šotor postavil pred mestom.
And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
19 Kupil je kos poljskega zemljišča, kjer je razširil svoj šotor, iz roke otrok Hamórja, Sihemovega očeta, za sto koščkov denarja.
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 Tam je postavil oltar in ga imenoval El–elohe–Izrael.
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
