< 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 over 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 which God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Setelah itu para selir maju dengan anak-anak mereka, lalu sujud.
Then the handmaids came 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 and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after 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 company which I met? And he said, To find grace in the sight 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, let that thou hast be thine.
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, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace 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.
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 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.
12 Lalu Esau berkata, "Marilah kita bersiap-siap untuk berangkat, saya akan berjalan mendahuluimu."
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before 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 that the flocks and herds with me give suck: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will 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 over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according to the pace of the cattle that is before me and according to the pace of the children, 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 now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight 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 him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called 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 peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and 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 ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 Kemudian ia mendirikan mezbah di situ dan menamakannya "El, Allah Israel".
And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
