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.
Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids.
2 Najbolj spredaj je postavil pomočnici ter njune otroke, za njimi Leo ter njene otroke, nazadnje pa Rahelo in Jožefa.
He placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Šel je pred njimi in se sedemkrat priklonil do tal, dokler se ni približal svojemu bratu.
Then Jacob went ahead of them and bowed low to the ground seven times before approaching his brother.
4 Ezav je stekel, da ga sreča, ga objel, se spustil na njegov vrat in ga poljubil, in oba sta jokala.
Esau ran over to him and hugged him. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The two of them 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.«
Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied.
6 Nato sta se približali pomočnici, oni in njuni otroci ter se priklonili.
The personal maids and their children came over and bowed down.
7 Tudi Lea s svojimi otroki se je približala in se priklonila in potem sta prišla bliže Jožef in Rahela ter se oba priklonila.
Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over and bowed down.
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.«
“What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.
9 Ezav je rekel: »Dovolj imam, moj brat. To, kar imaš, obdrži zase.«
“I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
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.
“No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
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.
Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
12 Rekel je: »Naj greva najino potovanje in naj greva, jaz pa bom šel pred teboj.«
“Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.”
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.
“My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all 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.«
You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at 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.«
“Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
16 Tako se je ta dan Ezav vrnil na svojo pot v Seír.
So Esau started on his way back to Seir that day.
17 Jakob pa je odpotoval v Sukót, si zgradil hišo in naredil šotore za svojo živino. Zato se ime kraja imenuje Sukót.
But Jacob headed to Succoth, where he built himself a house and shelters for the livestock. That's why the place is called Succoth.
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.
Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town.
19 Kupil je kos poljskega zemljišča, kjer je razširil svoj šotor, iz roke otrok Hamórja, Sihemovega očeta, za sto koščkov denarja.
He bought the plot of ground where he was camping from the sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.
20 Tam je postavil oltar in ga imenoval El–elohe–Izrael.
He built an altar there and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
