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.
1ΑΝΑΒΛΕΨΑΣ δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐρχόμενος καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ διεῖλεν Ἰακὼβ τὰ παιδία ἐπὶ Λείαν καὶ ἐπί Ραχὴλ καὶ τὰς δύος παιδίσκας.
2He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
2καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δύο παιδίσκας καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ Λείαν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς ὀπίσω καὶ Ραχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐσχάτους.
3But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
3αὐτὸς δὲ προῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτάκις ἕως τοῦ ἐγγίσαι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
4Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
4καὶ προσέδραμεν Ἡσαῦ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν προσέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι.
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.”
5καὶ ἀναβλέψας Ἡσαῦ εἶδε τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ παιδία καὶ εἶπε· τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστίν; ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τὰ παιδία, οἷς ἠλέησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν παῖδά σου.
6Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
6καὶ προσήγγισαν αἱ παιδίσκαι καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν,
7Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
7καὶ προσήγγισε Λεία καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησαν. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσήγγισε Ραχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
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.
8καὶ εἶπε· τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστί, πᾶσαι αἱ παρεμβολαί αὗται, αἷς ἀπήντηκα; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.
9“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
9εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ· ἔστι μοι πολλά, ἀδελφέ· ἔστω σοι τὰ σά.
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.
10εἶπε δὲ Ἰακώβ· εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, δέξαι τὰ δῶρα διὰ τῶν ἐμῶν χειρῶν· ἕνεκεν τούτου εἶδον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, ὡς ἄν τις ἴδοι πρόσωπον Θεοῦ, καὶ εὐδοκήσεις με.
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.
11λαβὲ τὰς εὐλογίας μου, ἃς ἤνεγκά σοι, ὅτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα. καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλαβε·
12Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
12καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπάραντες πορευσώμεθα ἐπ᾿ εὐθεῖαν.
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.
13εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ· ὁ κύριός μου γινώσκει, ὅτι τὰ παιδία ἁπαλώτερα καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ αἱ βόες λοχεύονται ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ· ἐὰν οὖν καταδιώξω αὐτὰ ἡμέραν μίαν, ἀποθανοῦνται πάντα τὰ κτήνη.
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.”
14προελθέτω ὁ κύριός μου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐνισχύσω ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ κατὰ σχολὴν τῆς πορεύσεως τῆς ἐναντίον μου καὶ κατὰ πόδα τῶν παιδαρίων, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν με πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς Σηείρ.
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.”
15εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ· καταλείψω μετὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἱκανόν, ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.
16So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
16ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηείρ.
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.
17Καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπαίρει εἰς σκηνάς· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἐκεῖ οἰκίας καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε σκηνάς· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Σκηναί.
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.
18καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰακὼβ εἰς Σαλὴμ πόλιν Σικίμων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ὅτε ἐπανῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας, καὶ παρενέβαλε κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς πόλεως.
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.
19καὶ ἐκτήσατο τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὗ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, παρὰ Ἐμὼρ πατρὸς Συχὲμ ἑκατὸν ἀμνῶν.
20There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
20καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
