| 1雅各伯舉目，看見厄撒烏帶了四百人前來，遂將孩子分別交與肋阿、辣黑耳和兩個婢女； | 1Jacob looked up and saw that Esau was coming with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two maidservants. |
| 2將兩個婢女和她們的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最後是辣黑耳和若瑟。 | 2He then put the maidservants in front with their children, then Leah with her children and Rachel and Joseph last of all. |
| 3他自己走在他們前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到來到哥哥前。 | 3He himself went on before them and bowed to the ground seven times until he came near his brother. |
| 4厄撒烏卻向他跑來，抱住他，撲在他頸上吻他，兩人都哭了。 | 4Esau ran to meet him, took him in his arms, kissed him; and both wept. |
| 5厄撒烏舉目，看見女人和孩子，遂問說：「這些人是你的什麼人？」雅各伯答說：「是天主恩賜給你僕人的孩子。」 | 5Esau looked up and seeing the women and the children said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob replied, "They are the children God has given to your servant." |
| 6於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。 | 6Then the servants and their children went forward and bowed down. |
| 7肋阿和她的孩子也前來叩拜了，最後若瑟和辣黑耳才近前來叩拜。 | 7Leah with her children likewise advanced and bowed, and lastly Joseph and Rachel went forward and bowed. |
| 8厄撒烏又問說：「我所見的這一大隊，有什麼意思？」雅各伯答說：「這是蒙我主悅納的。」 | 8Esau said, "What is the meaning of all this company I have met?" Jacob replied, "It is to win your favor." |
| 9厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷！」 | 9Esau answered, "Brother, I have plenty; keep what you have for yourself." |
| 10雅各伯說：「請不要這樣！我若真蒙你悅納，請你收下我手中的禮物；因為我見了你的面，就如見了天主的面；你實在仁厚接待了我。 | 10Jacob said, "But, no, please! Accept the gift I offer, for I came to you as to God, and you received me kindly. |
| 11請你收下我獻給你的禮品；因為天主厚待了我，我什麼都有了。」由於雅各伯極力懇請，他才收下了。 | 11So accept the gift I have brought you, for God has dealt generously with me and I have plenty." And so much did Jacob insist that Esau accepted the gift. |
| 12厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」 | 12Esau then said, "Let us be on our way. I will lead you." |
| 13雅各伯對他說：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我還要照顧尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顧催趕，全群牲畜都要死盡。 | 13But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are not strong, and besides I must think of the ewes with lambs and the cows that have calves and if they are driven too hard, even for one day, all the flocks will die. |
| 14還是請我主在你僕人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子們的腳步，慢慢前行；直至達到色依爾我主那裏。」 | 14Let it please my lord to go ahead of me while I move on slowly at the pace of the cattle I'm driving and that of the children, until I reach my lord at Seir." |
| 15厄撒烏說：「讓我留下幾個跟我的人陪着你。」雅各伯說：「只要我能蒙我主悅納，又何必如此！」 | 15Esau said, "At least let me leave with you some of my men." Jacob replied, "Why? All I want is to keep your friendship." |
| 16厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。 | 16So Esau returned that same day to Seir. |
| 17雅各伯卻動身往穌苛特去了，在那裏為自己蓋了一座房屋，為牲畜搭了些棚子；為此給那地起名叫「穌苛特」。 | 17But Jacob left for Succoth. There he built a house for himself and shelters for his cattle. That is why the place was called Succoth. |
| 18雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來，平安來到客納罕地的舍根城，在城的對面支搭了帳幕。 | 18On his return from Paddan-aram, Jacob safely reached Shechem, a town in the land of Canaan, and encamped within sight of the town. |
| 19他支搭帳幕的那塊地，是由舍根的父親哈摩爾的兒子們手裏，用一百塊銀錢買來的。 | 19For one hundred pieces of silver he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of land where he had pitched his tent. |
| 20雅各伯在那裏建立了一座祭壇，稱它為：「大能者以色列的天主」。 | 20There he erected an altar and called it God - the God of Israel. |
