Бытие 33
1 Воззрев же Иаков очима своима, виде: и се, Исав брат его идый, и четыриста мужей с ним. И раздели Иаков дети Лии и Рахили и двум рабыням,
Jacob [Supplanter] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau [Hairy] was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah [Weary], Rachel [Ewe sheep], and the two servants.
2 и постави обе рабыни и сыны их в первых, Лию же и дети ея позади, а Рахиль и Иосифа в последних:
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah [Weary] and her children after, and Rachel [Ewe sheep] and Joseph [May he add] at the rear.
3 сам же изыде первее пред ними и поклонися до земли седмижды, дондеже приближися к брату своему.
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 И притече Исав во сретение ему: и объемь его, припаде на выю его и облобыза его: и плакастася оба.
Esau [Hairy] ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5 И воззрев Исав, виде жены и дети и рече: что сии тебе суть? Он же рече: дети, имиже помилова Бог раба твоего.
He lifted up his eyes, 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 И приступиша рабыни и дети их и поклонишася:
Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 и приступи Лиа и дети ея и поклонишася: посем же приступи Рахиль и Иосиф и поклонистася.
Leah [Weary] also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph [May he add] came near with Rachel [Ewe sheep], and they bowed themselves.
8 И рече: что сия тебе суть, полцы сии вси, яже сретох? Он же рече: да обрящет раб твой благодать пред тобою, господине.
Esau [Hairy] said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob [Supplanter] said, “To find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
9 Рече же Исав: суть мне многа, брате: да будут тебе твоя.
Esau [Hairy] said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
10 И рече Иаков: аще обретох благодать пред тобою, приими дары от руку моею: сего ради видех лице твое, яко бы аще кто видел лице Божие: и возблаговолиши о мне:
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Please, no, if I have now found chen ·grace· in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11 приими благословение мое, еже принесох тебе, яко помилова мя Бог, и суть ми вся. И принуди его, и взя.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
12 И рече: воставше пойдем прямо.
Esau [Hairy] said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.”
13 Рече же ему: господин мой весть, яко дети мои юны, овцы же и говяда бременны у мене: аще убо пожену я един день, измрет весь скот:
Jacob [Supplanter] said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
14 да предидет господин мой пред рабом своим: аз же укреплюся на пути умедлением шествия моего, еже предо мною, и якоже возмогут ити дети, дондеже прииду к господину моему в Сиир.
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
15 И рече Исав: оставлю с тобою от людий сущих со мною. Он же рече: вскую сие? Довлеет, яко обретох благодать пред тобою, господине.
Esau [Hairy] said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
16 Возвратися же Исав в том дни путем своим в Сиир:
So Esau [Hairy] teshuvah ·completely returned· that day on his way to Seir.
17 и Иаков пойде в Кущы, и постави себе тамо храмины, и скоту своему сотвори кущы: сего ради нарече имя месту тому Кущы.
Jacob [Supplanter] traveled to Sukkot, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot [Booths].
18 И прииде Иаков в салим град Сикимск, иже есть в земли Ханаанстей, егда прииде от Месопотамии Сирския, и ста пред лицем града:
Jacob [Supplanter] came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan [Humbled], when he came from Paddan Aram [Elevated]; and encamped before the city.
19 и купи часть села, идеже постави кущу свою тамо, у Еммора отца Сихемля, стома агнцы:
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20 и постави тамо жертвенник, и призва Бога Израилева.
He erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohei-Isra'el [God the God of God prevails].
