Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Cuando Jacob alzando los ojos vio que venía Esaú, y con él cuatrocientos hombres, repartió los niños entre Lía y Raquel y las dos siervas,
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
poniendo delante a las siervas con sus hijos, detrás a Lía con sus hijos, y a Raquel con José los postreros.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Él mismo se les adelantó y se postró en tierra siete veces, hasta que se hubo acercado a su hermano.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Entonces Esaú corrió a su encuentro, le abrazó, se echó sobre su cuello y le besó; y lloraron.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your servant.
Alzando los ojos, vio (Esaú) a las mujeres y a los niños, y preguntó: “¿Quiénes son estos que tienes contigo?” Respondió: “Son los hijos que Dios ha dado a tu siervo.”
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Y se acercaron las siervas, ellas y sus hijos, y se postraron.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Acercose también Lía con sus hijos, y se postraron; y después se acercaron José y Raquel, y se postraron.
8 And he said, What mean you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Preguntó entonces: “¿Qué significa toda esta caravana que acabo de encontrar?” A lo que respondió (Jacob): “Es para hallar gracia a los ojos de mi señor.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have to yourself.
“Vivo en abundancia, hermano mío, contestó Esaú; sea para ti lo que es tuyo.”
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray you, if now I have found grace in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Pero Jacob replicó: “De ninguna manera. Si he hallado gracia a tus ojos, acepta mi presente de mi mano, por cuanto he visto tu rostro como quien ve el rostro de Dios, y me has mostrado tu benevolencia.
11 Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
Acepta, pues, mi bendición que te he traído; pues Dios me ha favorecido y tengo de todo.” Y le instó tanto que aceptó.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
Luego dijo (Esaú): “Partamos y pongámonos en marcha, y yo iré delante de ti.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Mas él respondió: “Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que tengo ovejas y vacas preñadas; y si las arrean apresuradamente un solo día, morirá todo el ganado.
14 Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goes before me and the children be able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Adelántese, pues, mi señor a su siervo, y yo seguiré lentamente, al paso de los rebaños que llevo delante, y al paso de los niños, hasta que llegue a mi señor, a Seír.”
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needs it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Respondió Esaú: “Dejaré entonces para ti parte de la gente que tengo conmigo.” Mas (Jacob) dijo: “¿Para qué esto? ¡Con tal que halle yo gracia a los ojos de mi señor!”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Se volvió, pues, Esaú ese mismo día rumbo a Seír.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Jacob marchó a Sucot, donde hizo una casa para sí, y cabañas para su ganado. Por donde se llamó aquel lugar Sucot.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
De vuelta de Mesopotamia llegó Jacob sano y salvo a la ciudad de Siquem, que está en el país de Canaán, y acampó frente a la ciudad.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Y compró a los hijos de Hemor, padre de Siquem, por cien kesitas, la parte del campo donde había asentado su tienda.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
Allí erigió un altar, y lo llamó El-Elohé- Israel.
