< Kejadian 33 >

1 Yakub melihat Esau datang dengan empat ratus orangnya. Karena itu dibaginya anak-anaknya di antara Lea, Rahel dan kedua selirnya.
And 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.
2 Ia menempatkan kedua selirnya bersama anak-anak mereka di depan, kemudian Lea bersama anak-anaknya, lalu Rahel dan Yusuf di belakang sekali.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 Yakub berjalan di depan mereka semua, dan sambil mendekati abangnya, ia sujud sampai tujuh kali.
And he himself passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Tetapi Esau berlari mendapatkan Yakub, lalu memeluknya dan menciumnya. Dan kedua orang itu bertangis-tangisan.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
5 Ketika Esau melihat semua wanita dan anak-anak itu, ia bertanya, "Siapa mereka yang ada bersamamu ini?" "Mereka anak-anak saya," jawab Yakub, "Allah telah mengaruniakan anak-anak itu kepada saya."
And 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.
6 Setelah itu para selir maju dengan anak-anak mereka, lalu sujud.
Then came the handmaids near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Kemudian datanglah Lea beserta anak-anaknya, dan yang terakhir Yusuf dan Rahel mendekat lalu mereka semua sujud.
And Leah also with her children came near, and they bowed themselves; and after that came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Esau bertanya, "Apa maksudmu dengan rombongan-rombongan yang saya jumpai tadi?" Yakub menjawab, "Untuk menyenangkan hati Abang."
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I have met? And he said, To find grace in the eyes of my lord.
9 Tetapi Esau berkata, "Sudah cukup harta saya, tak perlu kau memberi hadiah kepada saya."
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, keep unto thyself what thou hast.
10 Kata Yakub, "Jangan! Jika saya telah menyenangkan hati Abang, terimalah persembahan saya ini. Bagiku, melihat wajah Abang sama dengan melihat wajah Allah, karena Abang begitu ramah kepada saya.
And Jacob said, This must not be, I pray thee; if I have but found grace in thy eyes, then do thou receive my present at my hand; since I have seen thy face, it is as though I had seen the face of an angel, and because thou hast received me kindly.
11 Saya mohon, terimalah persembahan yang telah saya bawa ini. Allah telah baik hati kepada saya dan memberikan segala sesuatu yang saya perlukan." Yakub terus mendesak sampai akhirnya Esau menerima pemberiannya itu.
Take, I pray thee, my present that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have a plenty of all. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 Lalu Esau berkata, "Marilah kita bersiap-siap untuk berangkat, saya akan berjalan mendahuluimu."
And he said, Let us depart, and move farther, and I will travel near thee.
13 Yakub menjawab, "Abang tahu bahwa anak-anak ini lemah, dan saya harus hati-hati dengan semua ternak yang sedang menyusui. Jika digiring cepat-cepat, walaupun hanya satu hari saja, maka seluruh kawanan binatang itu akan mati.
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are a charge on me: and if they should overdrive them one day, all the flock would die.
14 Berjalanlah lebih dahulu, saya ikut dengan perlahan-lahan. Saya akan berjalan secepat mungkin dengan ternak dan anak-anakku ini sampai dapat menyusul Abang di Edom."
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according to the cattle that goeth before me and the children may be able to travel, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 Kata Esau, "Kalau begitu, baiklah saya tinggalkan padamu beberapa anak buah saya." Tetapi Yakub menjawab, "Tak usahlah bersusah-susah, saya hanya ingin menyenangkan hati Abang."
And Esau said, Let me, I pray thee, leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me only final grace in the eyes of my lord.
16 Demikianlah pada hari itu Esau berangkat kembali ke Edom.
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 Tetapi Yakub pergi ke Sukot, lalu mendirikan rumah bagi dirinya dan tempat berteduh bagi ternaknya. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamakan Sukot.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Dalam perjalanan dari Mesopotamia, sampailah Yakub dengan selamat di kota Sikhem di negeri Kanaan, lalu memasang kemahnya di sebuah padang dekat kota.
And Jacob came in good health to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and he encamped before the city.
19 Padang tempat perkemahannya itu dibelinya dari orang keturunan Hemor, ayah Sikhem, dengan harga seratus uang perak.
And he bought the parcel of the field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Chamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kessitah.
20 Kemudian ia mendirikan mezbah di situ dan menamakannya "El, Allah Israel".
And he erected there an altar, and called it, El-Elohe-Yisrael.
