1 A nd Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;

وَرَفَعَ يَعقُوبُ نَظَرَهُ، فَإذا بِعِيسُو قادِمٌ مَعَ أرْبَعِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ. فَقَسَّمَ الأطفالَ بَينَ لَيئَةَ وَراحِيلَ وَالخادِمَتَينِ.

2 a nd he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

فَوَضَعَ الخادِمَتَينِ وَأبْناءَهُنَّ أوَّلاً، ثُمَّ لَيئَةَ وَأبْناءَها، ثُمَّ راحِيلَ وَيُوسُفَ آخِرَ الكُلِّ.

3 A nd he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,

لَكِنَّهُ بَعدَ ذَلِكَ تَقَدَّمَهُمْ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَانحَنَى إلَى الأرْضِ سَبْعَ مَرّاتٍ بَينَما كانَ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنْ أخِيهِ.

4 a nd Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;

لَكِنَّ عِيسُو رَكَضَ لِمُلاقاتِهِ، وَعانَقَهُ، وَطَوَّقَهُ بِذِراعَيهِ، وَقَبَّلَهُ، فَبَكَيا مَعاً.

5 a nd he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, `What these to thee?' And he saith, `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'

ثُمَّ رَفَعَ عِيسُو نَظَرَهُ. فَرَأى النِّساءَ وَالأطفالَ. فَقالَ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ؟» فَقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الأبْناءُ الَّذِينَ أعطاهُمُ اللهُ لِي، أنا خادِمَكَ.»

6 A nd the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;

ثُمَّ اقتَرَبَتِ الخادِمَتانِ وَأبْناؤُهُما مِنْ عِيسُو وَانحَنُوا.

7 a nd Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.

ثُمَّ اقْتَرَبَتْ لَيئَةُ وَأبْناؤُها وَانحَنُوا. ثُمَّ اقتَرَبَ يُوسُفُ وَراحِيلُ وَانحَنَيا.

8 A nd he saith, `What to thee all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, `To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'

فَقالَ عِيسُو: «ماذا قَصَدْتَ بِإرْسالِكَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الجَماعَةِ الَّتِي قابَلْتُها؟» فَقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «أرَدْتُ أنْ أحْظى بِرِضاكَ، يا سَيِّدِي.»

9 A nd Esau saith, `I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'

فَقالَ عِيسُو: «عِندِي ما يَكفِي، يا أخِي! فابْقِ ما لَكَ عِندَكَ.»

10 A nd Jacob saith, `Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;

فَقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «لا! إنْ كُنْتَ راضِياً عَنِّي، فاقْبَلْ هَذِهِ الهَدِيَّةَ مِنْ يَدَيَّ. بَعدَ أنْ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي صارَ النَّظَرُ إلَى وَجهِكَ عِندِي أشْبَهَ بِالنَّظَرِ إلَى وَجهِ اللهِ.

11 r eceive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all;' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,

فاقْبَلِ الهَدِيَّةَ الَّتِي جَلَبْتُها لَكَ. فَقَدْ كانَ اللهُ كَرِيماً مَعِي، وَأعطانِي كُلَّ ما أُرِيدُ.» وَألَحَّ يَعقُوبُ عَلَى عِيسُو، فَقَبِلَها.

12 a nd saith, `Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'

وَقالَ عِيسُو: «هَيّا نَمضِ فِي طَريقِنا، وَسَأذْهَبُ مَعَكَ.»

13 A nd he saith unto him, `My lord knoweth that the children tender, and the suckling flock and the herd with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.

لَكِنَّ يَعقُوبَ قالَ لَهُ: «أنتَ تَعلَمُ يا سَيِّدِي أنَّ الأطفالَ تَعِبُونَ، وَأنَّ المَواشِيَ المُرْضِعَةَ مَصْدَرُ قَلَقٍ لِي. فَإذا أرهَقْتُها كَثِيراً فِي يَوْمٍ واحِدٍ، فَسَتَمُوتُ كُلُّها.

14 L et my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I -- I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'

فاسْبِقْ يا سَيِّدِي خادِمَكَ. أمّا أنا فَسَأسِيرُ بِبُطءٍ عَلَى سُرْعَةِ البَقَرِ الَّتِي أمامِي، وَسُرْعَةِ الأطفالِ، إلَى أنْ أصِلَ إلَيكَ يا سَيِّدِي فِي سَعِيرَ.»

15 A nd Esau saith, `Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who with me;' and he said, `Why this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'

فَقالَ عِيسُو: «اسْمَحْ لِي إذاً أنْ أتْرُكَ عِندَكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِينَ مَعِي.» فَقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «هَذَا لُطْفٌ لا أسْتَحِقُّهُ يا سَيِّدي.»

16 A nd turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;

فَعادَ عِيسُو فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ مُتَّجِهاً إلَى سَعِيرَ.

17 a nd Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.

أمّا يَعقُوبُ فَذَهَبَ إلَى بَلْدَةِ سُكُّوتَ وَبَنَى لِنَفْسِهِ بَيتاً هُناكَ. وَصَنَعَ أيضاً خِياماً لِحِمايَةِ مَواشِيهِ. فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ المَكانُ سُكُّوتَ.

18 A nd Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,

وَوَصَلَ يَعقُوبُ بِالسَّلامَةِ إلَى مَدِينَةِ شَكِيمَ فِي أرْضِ كَنْعانَ لَمّا جاءَ مِنْ فَدَّانَ أرامَ. وَخَيَّمَ يَعْقُوبُ أمامَ المَدِينَةِ.

19 a nd he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;

وَاشْتَرَى يَعقُوبُ جُزءاً مِنَ الحَقلِ الَّذِي نَصَبَ فِيهِ خَيمَتَهُ مِنْ أولادِ حَمُورَ وَالِدِ شَكِيمَ، بِمِئَةِ قِطعَةٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ.

20 a nd he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God -- the God of Israel.

وَبَنَى مَذبَحاً هُناكَ وَسَمّاهُ إيلَ، إلَهَ إسْرائِيلَ.
