创世纪:Chapter 33

创世纪	Genesis
¹雅各伯举目，看见厄撒乌带了四百人前来，遂将孩子分别交与肋阿、辣黑耳和两个婢女；	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将两个婢女和她们的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最后是辣黑耳和若瑟。	²He then put the maidservants in front with their children, then Leah with her children and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
³他自己走在他们前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到来到哥哥前。	³He himself went on before them and bowed to the ground seven times until he came near his brother.
⁴厄撒乌却向他跑来，抱住他，扑在他颈上吻他，两人都哭了。	⁴Esau ran to meet him, took him in his arms, kissed him; and both wept.
⁵厄撒乌举目，看见女人和孩子，遂问说：「这些人是你的什么人？」雅各伯答说：「是天主恩赐给你仆人的孩子。」	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于是婢女和她们的孩子前来叩拜了。	⁶Then the servants and their children went forward and bowed down.
⁷肋阿和她的孩子也前来叩拜了，最后若瑟和辣黑耳才近前来叩拜。	⁷Leah with her children likewise advanced and bowed, and lastly Joseph and Rachel went forward and bowed.
⁸厄撒乌又问说：「我所见的这一大队，有什么意思？」雅各伯答说：「这是蒙我主悦纳的。」	⁸Esau said, "What is the meaning of all this company I have met?" Jacob replied, "It is to win your favor."
⁹厄撒乌说：「我的兄弟，我已够富足了；你的，你留下罢！」	⁹Esau answered, "Brother, I have plenty; keep what you have for yourself."
¹⁰雅各伯说：「请不要这样！我若真蒙你悦纳，请你收下我手中的礼物；因为我见了你的面，就如见了天主的面；你实在仁厚接待了我。	¹⁰Jacob said, "But, no, please! Accept the gift I offer, for I came to you as to God, and you received me kindly.
¹¹请你收下我献给你的礼品；因为天主厚待了我，我什么都有了。」由于雅各伯极力恳请，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厄撒乌说：「我们起程前行，我愿与你同行。」	¹²Esau then said, "Let us be on our way. I will lead you."
¹³雅各伯对他说：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我还要照顾尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顾催赶，全群牲畜都要死尽。	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还是请我主在你仆人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子们的脚步，慢慢前行；直至达到色依尔我主那里。」	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厄撒乌说：「让我留下几个跟我的人陪着你。」雅各伯说：「只要我能蒙我主悦纳，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厄撒乌就在当天回了色依尔。	¹⁶So Esau returned that same day to Seir.
¹⁷雅各伯却动身往稣苛特去了，在那里为自己盖了一座房屋，为牲畜搭了些棚子；为此给那地起名叫「稣苛特」。	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雅各伯由帕丹阿兰回来，平安来到客纳罕地的舍根城，在城的对面支搭了帐幕。	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他支搭帐幕的那块地，是由舍根的父亲哈摩尔的儿子们手里，用一百块银钱买来的。	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雅各伯在那里建立了一座祭坛，称它为：「大能者以色列的天主」。	²⁰There he erected an altar and called it God - the God of Israel.
