Postanak 33
1 Jakov podiže oči i opazi gdje dolazi Ezav i s njime četiri stotine ljudi. Onda on podijeli svoju djecu među Leu, Rahelu i dvije sluškinje;
Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 postavi sluškinje i njihovu djecu na čelo; iza njih Leu i njezinu djecu; a Rahelu i Josipa straga.
He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Sam prođe naprijed, nakloni se do zemlje sedam puta dok se ne primače svome bratu.
He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
4 Ezav mu potrča u susret. Zagrli ga padnuvši mu oko vrata, poljubi ga i zaplaka.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.
5 Onda podiže oči i vidje žene i djecu. “Tko su ovi s tobom?” - zapita. On odgovori: “Djeca kojom je Bog obdario tvoga slugu.”
And he looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 Potom naprijed stupe sluškinje sa svojom djecom te se duboko naklone.
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Naprijed stupi i Lea sa svojom djecom te se duboko nakloni. Najposlije stupe naprijed Josip i Rahela te se duboko naklone.
Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Ezav upita: “Što kaniš sa svom ovom povorkom što sam je sreo?” Odgovori: “Naći naklonost svoga gospodara.”
Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9 Ezav odgovori: “Ja imam dosta, brate moj. Neka ostane tebi što je tvoje.”
Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
10 A Jakov reče: “Nemoj tako! Ako sam našao naklonost u tvojim očima, primi dar iz moje ruke; jer meni je, što si me ljubezno primio, kao da gledam lice Božje.
Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted me.
11 Zato prihvati moj dar što sam ti ga donio; Bog mi je bio sklon te imam svega.” Kako ga je uporno nagovarao, Ezav prihvati.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 “Pođimo na put”, reče Ezav, “i ja ću s tobom putovati.”
Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
13 Ali mu on odvrati: “Zna moj gospodar da su djeca nejaka. Osim toga, valja mi se brinuti o ovcama i kravama koje doje: ako bi se tjerale prebrzo samo jednog dana, sve bi pocrkale.
Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
14 Neka moj gospodar ide ispred svoga sluge, a ja ću ići polako, uz korak marve pred sobom i uz korak djece, dok ne stignem k svome gospodaru u Seir.”
Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
15 Onda reče Ezav: “Da ti barem ostavim nekoliko ljudi koji se sa mnom nalaze.” Ali on odgovori: “Čemu to? Neka ja samo nađem milost u očima svoga gospodara!”
Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
16 Tako se Ezav onog dana zaputi natrag u Seir,
So Esau returned that day on the road to Seir.
17 dok je Jakov otišao u Sukot, gdje sebi sagradi kuću, a svom blagu podigne staje. Stoga je onom mjestu dano ime Sukot.
But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Došavši tako iz Padan Arama, Jakov sretno stigne u grad Šekem, koji se nalazi u zemlji kanaanskoj, i postavi svoj šator pred gradom.
After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
19 A komad zemlje na kojoj je postavio svoj šator kupi od sinova Hamora, Šekemova oca, za stotinu kesita.
He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
20 Tu podiže žrtvenik i nazva ga “El, Bog Izraelov”.
He erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
