Genesis 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
1Ἀναβλέψας δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε· καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐρχόμενος, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ διεῖλεν Ἰακὼβ τὰ παιδία ἐπὶ Λείαν, καὶ ἐπὶ Ῥαχὴλ, καὶ τὰς δύο παιδίσκας.
2And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
2Καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δύο παιδίσκας καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πρώτοις, καὶ Λείαν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς ὀπίσω, καὶ Ῥαχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐσχάτους.
3And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
3Αὐτὸς δὲ προῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν· καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτάκις, ἕως τοῦ ἐγγίσαι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
4And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
4Καὶ προσέδραμεν Ἡσαῦ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ· καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν προσέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι.
5And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said: 'Who are these with thee?' And he said: 'The children whom God hath graciously given 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 came near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
6Καὶ προσήγγισαν αἱ παιδίσκαι καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
7And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed down; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed down.
7Καὶ προσήγγισε Λεία καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, καὶ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσήγγισε Ῥαχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
8And he said: 'What meanest thou by all this camp which I met?' And he said: 'To find favour in the sight of my lord.'
8Καὶ εἶπε, τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστὶν, πᾶσαι αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αὗται, αἷς ἀπήντηκα; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.
9And Esau said: 'I have enough; my brother, let that which thou hast be thine.'
9Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ, ἔστι μοι πολλὰ, ἀδελφέ· ἔστω σοι τὰ σά.
10And Jacob said: 'Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favour in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
10Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, εἰ εὓρον 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.
11Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.' And he urged him, and he took it.
11Λάβε τὰς εὐλογίας μου, ἃς ἤνεγκά σοι, ὅτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα· καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλαβε.
12And he said: 'Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.'
12Καὶ εἶπεν, ἀπάραντες πορευσώμεθα ἐπʼ εὐθεῖαν.
13And he said unto him: 'My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they overdrive them 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 ἐπʼ ἐμέ· ἐὰν οὖν καταδιώξω αὐτὰ ἡμέραν μίαν, ἀποθανοῦνται πάντα τὰ κτήνη.
14Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant; and I will journey on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto 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.
15And Esau said: 'Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me.' And he said: 'What needeth it? let me find favour in the sight of my lord.'
15Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ, καταλείψω μετὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἱκανὸν ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.
16So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
16Ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηείρ.
17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
17Καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπαίρει εἰς σκηνὰς, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἐκεῖ οἰκίας, καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε σκηνάς· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Σκηναί.
18And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
18Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰακὼβ εἰς Σαλὴμ, πόλιν Σηκίμων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, ὅτε ἐπανῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας· καὶ παρενέλαβε κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς πόλεως.
19And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
19Καὶ ἐκτήσατο τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὗ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, παρὰ Ἐμμὼρ πατρὸς Συχὲμ, ἑκατὸν ἀμνῶν.
20And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
20Καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
