創世記 33
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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，
1And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
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。
2And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
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。
3And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
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。
4Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
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。」
5And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
6於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
6Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
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。
7Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
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。」
8And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
9以掃 說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
9But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
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。
10And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
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。
11And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
12以掃 說：「我們可以起身前往，我在你前頭走。」
12And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
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。
13And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
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。」
14May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.
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。」
15Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
16於是， 以掃 當日起行，回往 西珥 去了。
16So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
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 。
17And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
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，
18And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
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，
19And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
20在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫 伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
20And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
