Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
1雅各 舉目觀看，見 以掃 來了，後頭跟着四百人，他就把孩子們分開交給 利亞 、 拉結 ，和兩個使女，
2He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
2並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭， 利亞 和她的孩子在後頭， 拉結 和 約瑟 在儘後頭。
3But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
3他自己在他們前頭過去，一連七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
4Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
4以掃 跑來迎接他，將他抱住，又摟着他的頸項，與他親嘴，兩個人就哭了。
5When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
5以掃 舉目看見婦人孩子，就說：「這些和你同行的是誰呢？」 雅各 說：「這些孩子是上帝施恩給你的僕人的。」
6Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
6於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
7Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
7利亞 和她的孩子也前來下拜；隨後 約瑟 和 拉結 也前來下拜。
8“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
8以掃 說：「我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢？」 雅各 說：「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」
9“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
9以掃 說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
10But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
10雅各 說：「不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你從我手裏收下這禮物；因為我見了你的面，如同見了上帝的面，並且你容納了我。
11Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
11求你收下我帶來給你的禮物；因為上帝恩待我，使我充足。」 雅各 再三地求他，他才收下了。
12Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
12以掃 說：「我們可以起身前往，我在你前頭走。」
13But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
13雅各 對他說：「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩，牛羊也正在乳養的時候，若是催趕一天，群畜都必死了。
14Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
14求我主在僕人前頭走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到 西珥 我主那裏。」
15“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
15以掃 說：「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裏。」 雅各 說：「何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」
16So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
16於是， 以掃 當日起行，回往 西珥 去了。
17but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
17雅各 就往 疏割 去，在那裏為自己蓋造房屋，又為牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫 疏割 。
18After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
18雅各 從 巴旦‧亞蘭 回來的時候，平平安安地到了 迦南 地的 示劍 城，在城東支搭帳棚，
19And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
19就用一百塊 銀子 向 示劍 的父親、 哈抹 的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地，
20There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
20在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫 伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
