창세기 33

1야곱이 눈을 들어 보니 에서가 사백인을 거느리고 오는지라 그 자식들을 나누어 레아와 라헬과 두 여종에게 맡기고 2여종과 그 자식들은 앞에 두고 레아와 그 자식들은 다음에 두고 라헬과 요셉은 뒤에 두고 3자기는 그들 앞에서 나아가되 몸을 일곱번 땅에 굽히며 그 형 에서에게 가까이 하니 4에서가 달려와서 그를 맞아서 안고 목을 어긋맞기고 그와 입맞추고 피차 우니라 5에서가 눈을 들어 여인과 자식들을 보고 묻되 너와 함께한 이들은 누구냐 야곱이 가로되 하나님이 주의 종에게 은혜로 주신 자식이니이다 6때에 여종들이 그 자식으로 더불어 나아와 절하고 7레아도 그 자식으로 더불어 나아와 절하고 그 후에 요셉이 라헬로 더불어 나아와 절하니 8에서가 또 가로되 나의 만난 바 이 모든 떼는 무슨 까닭이냐 야곱이 가로되 내 주께 은혜를 입으려 함이니이다 9에서가 가로되 내 동생아 내게 있는 것이 족하니 네 소유는 네게두라 10야곱이 가로되 그렇지 아니하니이다 형님께 은혜를 얻었사오면 청컨대 내 손에서 이 예물을 받으소서 내가 형님의 얼굴을 뵈온 즉 하나님의 얼굴을 본 것 같사오며 형님도 나를 기뻐하심이니이다 11하나님이 내게 은혜를 베푸셨고 나의 소유도 족하오니 청컨대 내가 형님께 드리는 예물을 받으소서 하고 그에게 강권하매 받으니라 12에서가 가로되 우리가 떠나가자 내가 너의 앞잡이가 되리라 13야곱이 그에게 이르되 내 주도 아시거니와 자식들은 유약하고 내게 있는 양떼와 소가 새끼를 데렸은즉 하루만 과히 몰면 모든 떼가 죽으리니 14청컨대 내 주는 종보다 앞서 가소서 나는 앞에 가는 짐승과 자식의 행보대로 천천히 인도하여 세일로 가서 내 주께 나아가리이다 15에서가 가로되 내가 내 종자 수인을 네게 머물리라 야곱이 가로되 어찌하여 그리하리이까 나로 내 주께 은혜를 얻게 하소서 하매 16이 날에 에서는 세일로 회정하고 17야곱은 숙곳에 이르러 자기를 위하여 집을 짓고 짐승을 위하여 우릿간을 지은 고로 그 땅 이름을 숙곳이라 부르더라 18야곱이 밧단아람에서부터 평안히 가나안 땅 세겜 성에 이르러 성앞에 그 장막을 치고 19그 장막 친 밭을 세겜의 아비 하몰의 아들들의 손에서 은 일백개로 사고 20거기 단을 쌓고 그 이름을 엘엘로헤이스라엘이라 하였더라

1Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids. 2He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear. 3He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 4Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept. 5He 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.” 6Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves. 7Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 8Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.” 9Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.” 10Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor 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. 11Please 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. 12Esau said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.” 13Jacob 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. 14Please 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.” 15Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.” 16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 17Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 18Jacob 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. 19He 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. 20He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.

1En Jakob hief zijn ogen op en zag; en ziet, Ezau kwam, en vierhonderd mannen met hem. Toen verdeelde hij de kinderen onder Lea, en onder Rachel, en onder de twee dienstmaagden. 2En hij stelde de dienstmaagden en haar kinderen vooraan; en Lea en haar kinderen meer achterwaarts; maar Rachel en Jozef de achterste. 3En hij ging voorbij hun aangezicht heen, en hij boog zich zeven malen ter aarde, totdat hij bij zijn broeder kwam. 4Toen liep Ezau hem tegemoet, en nam hem in den arm, en viel hem aan den hals, en kuste hem; en zij weenden. 5Daarna hief hij zijn ogen op, en zag die vrouwen en die kinderen, en zeide: Wie zijn deze bij u? En hij zeide: De kinderen, die God aan uw knecht genadiglijk verleend heeft. 6Toen traden de dienstmaagden toe, zij en haar kinderen, en zij bogen zich neder. 7En Lea trad ook toe, met haar kinderen, en zij bogen zich neder; en daarna trad Jozef toe en Rachel, en zij bogen zich neder. 8En hij zeide: Voor wien is u al dit heir, dat ik ontmoet heb? En hij zeide: Om genade te vinden in de ogen mijns heren! 9Maar Ezau zeide: Ik heb veel, mijn broeder! het zij het uwe, wat gij hebt! 10Toen zeide Jakob: Och neen! indien ik nu genade in uw ogen gevonden heb, zo neem mijn geschenk van mijn hand; daarom, omdat ik uw aangezicht gezien heb, als had ik Gods aangezicht gezien, en gij welgevallen aan mij genomen hebt. 11Neem toch mijn zegen, die u tegemoet gebracht is, dewijl het God mij genadiglijk verleend heeft, en dewijl ik alles heb; en hij hield bij hem aan, zodat hij het nam. 12En hij zeide: Laat ons reizen en voorttrekken; en ik zal voor u trekken. 13Maar hij zeide tot hem: Mijn heer weet, dat deze kinderen teder zijn, en dat ik zogende schapen en koeien bij mij heb; indien men dezelve maar een dag afdrijft, zo zal de gehele kudde sterven. 14Mijn heer trekke toch voorbij, voor het aangezicht van zijn knecht; en ik zal mij op mijn gemak als leidsman voegen, naar den gang van het werk, hetwelk voor mijn aangezicht is, en naar den gang dezer kinderen, totdat ik bij mijn heer te Seir kome. 15En Ezau zeide: Laat mij toch van dit volk, dat met mij is, u bijstellen. En hij zeide: Waartoe dat? laat mij genade vinden in mijns heren ogen! 16Alzo keerde Ezau dien dag wederom zijns weegs naar Seir toe. 17Maar Jakob reisde naar Sukkoth, en bouwde een huis voor zich, en maakte hutten voor zijn vee; daarom noemde hij den naam dier plaats Sukkoth. 18En Jakob kwam behouden tot de stad Sichem, welke is in het land Kanaan, als hij kwam van Paddan-Aram; en hij legerde zich in het gezicht der stad. 19En hij kocht een deel des velds, waarop hij zijn tent gespannen had, van de hand der zonen van Hemor, den vader van Sichem, voor honderd stukken gelds. 20En hij richte aldaar een altaar op, en noemde het: De God Israels is God!
