Jacob Meets Esau
33 Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men;(A) so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.(B) 2 He put the female servants and their children(C) in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph(D) in the rear. 3 He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground(E) seven times(F) as he approached his brother.
4 But Esau(G) ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him.(H) And they wept.(I) 5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. “Who are these with you?” he asked.
Jacob answered, “They are the children God has graciously given your servant.(J)”
6 Then the female servants and their children(K) approached and bowed down.(L) 7 Next, Leah and her children(M) came and bowed down.(N) Last of all came Joseph and Rachel,(O) and they too bowed down.
8 Esau asked, “What’s the meaning of all these flocks and herds I met?”(P)
“To find favor in your eyes, my lord,”(Q) he said.
9 But Esau said, “I already have plenty,(R) my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”
10 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes,(S) accept this gift(T) from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God,(U) now that you have received me favorably.(V) 11 Please accept the present(W) that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me(X) and I have all I need.”(Y) And because Jacob insisted,(Z) Esau accepted it.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way; I’ll accompany you.”
13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord(AA) knows that the children are tender and that I must care for the ewes and cows that are nursing their young.(AB) If they are driven hard just one day, all the animals will die. 14 So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the flocks and herds(AC) before me and the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.(AD)”
15 Esau said, “Then let me leave some of my men with you.”
“But why do that?” Jacob asked. “Just let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”(AE)
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.(AF) 17 Jacob, however, went to Sukkoth,(AG) where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Sukkoth.[a]
18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram,[b](AH) he arrived safely at the city of Shechem(AI) in Canaan and camped within sight of the city. 19 For a hundred pieces of silver,[c] he bought from the sons of Hamor,(AJ) the father of Shechem,(AK) the plot of ground(AL) where he pitched his tent.(AM) 20 There he set up an altar(AN) and called it El Elohe Israel.[d]

雅各和以扫相见
33 雅各举目观看，看哪，以扫来了，有四百人和他一起。雅各就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结和两个婢女。 2 他叫两个婢女和她们的孩子走在前头，利亚和她的孩子跟在后面，而拉结和约瑟在最后。 3 他自己却走到他们前面，一连七次俯伏在地才挨近他哥哥。
4 以扫跑来迎接他，将他抱住，伏在他的颈项上亲他，他们都哭了。 5 以扫举目看见妇人和孩子，就说：“这些和你一起的是谁呢？”雅各说：“这些孩子是 神施恩给你仆人的。” 6 于是两个婢女和她们的孩子前来下拜， 7 利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜，随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。 8 以扫说：“我所遇见的这些畜群是什么意思呢？”雅各说：“是为了要在我主眼前蒙恩。” 9 以扫说：“弟弟啊，我的已经够了，你的你自己留着吧！” 10 雅各说：“不，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就请你从我手里收下这礼物；因为我见了你的面，如同见了 神的面，并且你也宽容了我。 11 请你收下我带来给你的礼物，因为 神恩待我，使我一切都充足。”雅各再三求他，他才收下。
12 以扫说：“让我们起身前行，我和你一起走吧。” 13 雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们还年幼娇嫩，我的牛羊也正在哺乳中，只要催赶一天，群羊都会死了。 14 请我主在仆人前面先走，我要按着在我面前的牲畜和孩子的步伐慢慢前进，直走到西珥我主那里。” 15 以扫说：“让我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。”雅各说：“何必这样呢？只要能在我主眼前蒙恩就够了。” 16 于是，以扫当日起行，回西珥去了。 17 雅各就往疏割去，在那里为自己盖房屋，又为牲畜搭棚，因此那地方叫疏割[a]。
18 雅各从巴旦‧亚兰平安地回到迦南地的示剑城，他在城的前面支搭帐棚。 19 他用一百可锡塔[b]从示剑的父亲哈抹的众子手中买了搭帐棚的那块地。 20 雅各在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利‧伊罗伊‧以色列[c]。

33 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

Jacob and Esau Meet
33 Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, (A)Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants. 2 And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last. 3 Then he crossed over before them and (B)bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 (C)But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, (D)and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5 And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?”
So he said, “The children (E)whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6 Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down. 7 And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.
8 Then Esau said, “What do you mean by (F)all this company which I met?”
And he said, “These are (G)to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9 But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
10 And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I (H)have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me. 11 Please, take (I)my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt (J)graciously with me, and because I have [a]enough.” (K)So he urged him, and he took it.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you.”
13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die. 14 Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, [b]are able to endure, until I come to my lord (L)in Seir.”
15 And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.”
But he said, “What need is there? (M)Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.” 16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 17 And Jacob journeyed to (N)Succoth, built himself a house, and made [c]booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called [d]Succoth.
Jacob Comes to Canaan
18 Then Jacob came [e]safely to (O)the city of (P)Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city. 19 And (Q)he bought the parcel of [f]land, where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money. 20 Then he erected an altar there and called it (R)El[g] Elohe Israel.

El encuentro de Jacob con Esaú
33 Cuando Jacob vio que se acercaba Esaú con cuatrocientos hombres, repartió a los niños entre Lía, Raquel y las dos criadas. 2 Situó primero a las criadas con sus hijos, detrás a Lía con sus hijos, y por último a Raquel con José. 3 Luego pasó delante de ellos e hizo siete inclinaciones hasta el suelo a medida que se iba acercando a su hermano. 4 Pero Esaú corrió a su encuentro y, echándole los brazos al cuello, lo abrazó y rompieron juntos a llorar.
5 Después Esaú alzó la mirada y fijándose en las mujeres y los niños, preguntó:
— Y estos, ¿quiénes son?
Jacob respondió:
— Son los hijos que Dios ha concedido a tu siervo.
6 Entonces las criadas y sus hijos se acercaron y se inclinaron; 7 luego, Lía y sus hijos hicieron lo mismo y, por último, también se inclinaron Raquel y José. 8 Y preguntó Esaú:
— ¿Qué pretendías con todos esos rebaños que me he venido encontrando?
Jacob respondió:
— Lograr que mi señor me recibiese amistosamente.
9 Esaú dijo:
— Yo tengo bastante, hermano mío; quédate con lo tuyo.
10 Jacob insistió:
— De ninguna manera. Si realmente me has perdonado, acepta este regalo que te ofrezco. Volver a verte ha sido como ver el rostro de Dios ya que me has recibido tan fraternalmente. 11 Te ruego que aceptes el regalo que te he traído, porque Dios ha sido generoso conmigo y tengo de todo.
Tanto insistió Jacob, que al fin Esaú aceptó.
12 Después Esaú dijo:
— Pongámonos en camino; yo te acompañaré.
13 Pero Jacob respondió:
— No olvide mi señor que los niños aún son débiles y que debo también cuidar a las ovejas y vacas que están criando; si se las fuerza a caminar una jornada entera, todas las ovejas morirán. 14 Es mejor que mi señor se adelante a su siervo; yo seguiré poco a poco, al paso del ganado que va delante de mí y al paso de los niños, hasta reunirnos con mi señor en Seír.
15 Entonces Esaú dijo:
— Permíteme al menos que te acompañen algunos de mis hombres.
Y Jacob respondió:
— No hay necesidad. Es bastante con haberme ganado la benevolencia de mi señor.
16 Aquel mismo día, Esaú emprendió el camino de vuelta a Seír. 17 Por su parte, Jacob se dirigió a Sucot y allí construyó una casa para él y cobertizos para su ganado. Por eso Sucot es el nombre de aquel lugar.
Jacob en Siquén
18 A su regreso de Parán Aram, Jacob llegó sano y salvo a la ciudad de Siquén, en tierra de Canaán, y acampó fuera, frente a la ciudad. 19 Y el terreno donde montó las tiendas se lo compró a los hijos de Jamor, padre de Siquén, por cien monedas de plata. 20 Y allí mismo erigió un altar y lo dedicó al Dios de Israel.
