ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 33

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Αναβλεψας δε ο Ιακωβ ειδε? και ιδου, ο Ησαυ ηρχετο, και μετ' αυτου τετρακοσιοι ανδρες? και εμοιρασεν ο Ιακωβ τα παιδια εις την Λειαν και εις την Ραχηλ και εις τας δυο θεραπαινας.	1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau arriving, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the sons of Leah and Rachel, and of both the handmaids.
2 Και τας μεν θεραπαινας και τα τεκνα αυτων εβαλεν εμπροσθεν, την δε Λειαν και τα τεκνα αυτης, κατοπιν, και την Ραχηλ και τον Ιωσηφ, τελευταιους.	2 And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
3 Αυτος δε επερασεν εμπροσθεν αυτων και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους επτακις, εως να πλησιαση εις τον αδελφον αυτου.	3 And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
4 Και εδραμεν ο Ησαυ εις συναντησιν αυτου και ενηγκαλισθη αυτον και επεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον? και εκλαυσαν.	4 And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
5 Και αναβλεψας ειδε τας γυναικας και τα παιδια? και ειπε, Τι σου ειναι ουτοι; Ο δε ειπε τα παιδια, τα οποια εχαρισεν ο Θεος εις τον δουλον σου.	5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: “What do these want for themselves?” and “Are they related to you?” He responded, “These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant.”
6 Τοτε επλησιασαν αι θεραπαιναι, αυται και τα τεκνα αυτων, και προσεκυνησαν?	6 Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
7 παρομοιως επλησιασαν και η Λεια και τα τεκνα αυτης, και προσεκυνησαν? και μετα ταυτα επλησιασαν ο Ιωσηφ και η Ραχηλ και προσεκυνησαν.	7 Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
8 Και ειπε, Προς τι απαν το στρατοπεδον σου τουτο, το οποιον απηντησα; Ο δε ειπε, δια να ευρω χαριν εμπροσθεν του κυριου μου.	8 And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
9 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Εχω πολλα, αδελφε μου? εχε συ τα ιδικα σου.	9 But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
10 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ, Ουχι, παρακαλω? εαν ευρηκα χαριν εμπροσθεν σου, δεξαι το δωρον μου εκ των χειρων μου? διοτι δια τουτο ειδον το προσωπον σου, ως εαν εβλεπον προσωπον Θεου, και συ ευηρεστηθης εις εμε?	10 And Jacob said: “I beg you, let it not be so. But if I have found favor in your eyes, receive a small present from my hands. For I have looked upon your face as I would look upon the countenance of God. Be gracious to me,
11 δεξαι, παρακαλω, τας ευλογιας μου, τας προσφερομενας προς σε? διοτι με ηλεησεν ο Θεος και εχω τα παντα. Και εβιασεν αυτον και εδεχθη.	11 and take the blessing which I have brought to you, and which God, who bestows all things, has given as a gift to me.” Accepting it reluctantly, at the insistence of his brother,
12 Και ειπεν, Ας σηκωθωμεν και ας υπαγωμεν, και εγω θελω προπορευεσθαι εμπροσθεν σου.	12 he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
13 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιακωβ, Ο κυριος μου εξευρει οτι τα παιδια ειναι τρυφερα, και εχω μετ' εμου εγκυμονουντα προβατα και βοας? και εαν βιασωσιν αυτα μιαν μονην ημεραν, απαν το ποιμνιον θελει αποθανει.	13 And Jacob said: “My lord, you know that I have with me tender little ones, and sheep, and cows with young. If I cause these to labor too much in walking, all the flocks will die in one day.
14 Ας περαση, παρακαλω, ο κυριος μου εμπροσθεν του δουλου αυτου? και εγω θελω ακολουθει βραδεως, κατα το βαδισμα των κτηνων των εμπροσθεν μου, και κατα το βαδισμα των παιδαριων, εωσου φθασω προς τον κυριον μου εις Σηειρ.	14 May it please my lord to go before his servant. And I will follow gradually in his steps, as much as I see my little ones to be able, until I arrive to my lord in Seir.”
15 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Ας αφησω λοιπον μετα σου μερος εκ του λαου, του μετ' εμου. Ο δε ειπε, Δια τι τουτο; αρκει οτι ευρηκα χαριν εμπροσθεν του κυριου μου.	15 Esau responded, “I beg you, that at least some of the people who are with me may remain to accompany you on the way.” But he said, “There is no need. I have need of one thing only: to find favor in your sight, my lord.”
16 Επεστρεψε λοιπον ο Ησαυ την ημεραν εκεινην εις την οδον αυτου εις Σηειρ.	16 And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
17 Και απηλθεν ο Ιακωβ εις Σοκχωθ, και ωκοδομησεν εις εαυτον οικιαν, και δια τα κτηνη αυτου εκαμε σκηνας? δια τουτο εκαλεσε το ονομα του τοπου Σοκχωθ.	17 And Jacob went to Succoth, where, having built a house and pitched tents, he called the name of that place Succoth, that is, ‘Tents.’
18 Και αφου επεστρεψεν ο Ιακωβ απο Παδαν-αραμ, ηλθεν εις Σαλημ, πολιν Συχεμ, την εν τη γη Χανααν? και κατεσκηνωσεν εμπροσθεν της πολεως.	18 And he crossed over to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria. And he lived near the town.
19 Και ηγορασε την μεριδα του αγρου, οπου εστησε την σκηνην αυτου, παρα των υιων του Εμμωρ, πατρος του Συχεμ, δι' εκατον αργυρια.	19 And he bought the part of the field in which he had pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred lambs.
20 Και εστησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον, και εκαλεσεν αυτο Ελ-ελωε-Ισραηλ.	20 And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
