Génesis 33
1 Cuando Jacob alzando los ojos vio que venía Esaú, y con él cuatrocientos hombres, repartió los niños entre Lía y Raquel y las dos siervas,
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
2 poniendo delante a las siervas con sus hijos, detrás a Lía con sus hijos, y a Raquel con José los postreros.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
3 Él mismo se les adelantó y se postró en tierra siete veces, hasta que se hubo acercado a su hermano.
And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Entonces Esaú corrió a su encuentro, le abrazó, se echó sobre su cuello y le besó; y lloraron.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept.
5 Alzando los ojos, vio (Esaú) a las mujeres y a los niños, y preguntó: “¿Quiénes son estos que tienes contigo?” Respondió: “Son los hijos que Dios ha dado a tu siervo.”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given thy servant.
6 Y se acercaron las siervas, ellas y sus hijos, y se postraron.
Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Acercose también Lía con sus hijos, y se postraron; y después se acercaron José y Raquel, y se postraron.
And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. And afterward Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Preguntó entonces: “¿Qué significa toda esta caravana que acabo de encontrar?” A lo que respondió (Jacob): “Es para hallar gracia a los ojos de mi señor.”
And he said, What do thou mean by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
9 “Vivo en abundancia, hermano mío, contestó Esaú; sea para ti lo que es tuyo.”
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, let that which thou have be thine.
10 Pero Jacob replicó: “De ninguna manera. Si he hallado gracia a tus ojos, acepta mi presente de mi mano, por cuanto he visto tu rostro como quien ve el rostro de Dios, y me has mostrado tu benevolencia.
And Jacob said, No, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand, inasmuch as I have seen thy face, as any man would see the face of God, and thou were pleased with me.
11 Acepta, pues, mi bendición que te he traído; pues Dios me ha favorecido y tengo de todo.” Y le instó tanto que aceptó.
Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 Luego dijo (Esaú): “Partamos y pongámonos en marcha, y yo iré delante de ti.”
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 Mas él respondió: “Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que tengo ovejas y vacas preñadas; y si las arrean apresuradamente un solo día, morirá todo el ganado.
And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
14 Adelántese, pues, mi señor a su siervo, y yo seguiré lentamente, al paso de los rebaños que llevo delante, y al paso de los niños, hasta que llegue a mi señor, a Seír.”
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Respondió Esaú: “Dejaré entonces para ti parte de la gente que tengo conmigo.” Mas (Jacob) dijo: “¿Para qué esto? ¡Con tal que halle yo gracia a los ojos de mi señor!”
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folks that are with me. And he said, What need is it? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.
16 Se volvió, pues, Esaú ese mismo día rumbo a Seír.
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 Jacob marchó a Sucot, donde hizo una casa para sí, y cabañas para su ganado. Por donde se llamó aquel lugar Sucot.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 De vuelta de Mesopotamia llegó Jacob sano y salvo a la ciudad de Siquem, que está en el país de Canaán, y acampó frente a la ciudad.
And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and encamped before the city.
19 Y compró a los hijos de Hemor, padre de Siquem, por cien kesitas, la parte del campo donde había asentado su tienda.
And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred lambs.
20 Allí erigió un altar, y lo llamó El-Elohé- Israel.
And he erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
