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:
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.
2And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
2καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δύο παιδίσκας καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ Λείαν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς ὀπίσω καὶ Ραχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐσχάτους.
3And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
3αὐτὸς δὲ προῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτάκις ἕως τοῦ ἐγγίσαι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
4Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
4καὶ προσέδραμεν Ἡσαῦ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν προσέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι.
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.
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 handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
6καὶ προσήγγισαν αἱ παιδίσκαι καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν,
7Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
7καὶ προσήγγισε Λεία καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησαν. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσήγγισε Ραχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
8And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
8καὶ εἶπε· τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστί, πᾶσαι αἱ παρεμβολαί αὗται, αἷς ἀπήντηκα; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.
9But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
9εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ· ἔστι μοι πολλά, ἀδελφέ· ἔστω σοι τὰ σά.
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,
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.
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,
11λαβὲ τὰς εὐλογίας μου, ἃς ἤνεγκά σοι, ὅτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα. καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλαβε·
12And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
12καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπάραντες πορευσώμεθα ἐπ᾿ εὐθεῖαν.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
16ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηείρ.
17And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
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.
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:
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 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.
19καὶ ἐκτήσατο τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὗ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, παρὰ Ἐμὼρ πατρὸς Συχὲμ ἑκατὸν ἀμνῶν.
20And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
20καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
