Genesis 33

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, accompanied by four hundred men. So he divided his children among Leah, Rachel and the two maidservants,	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.
2 putting the maids and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.	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.
3 He himself went on ahead of them, bowing to the ground seven times, until he reached his brother.	3 Αυτος δε επερασεν εμπροσθεν αυτων και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους επτακις, εως να πλησιαση εις τον αδελφον αυτου.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, and flinging himself on his neck, kissed him as he wept.	4 Και εδραμεν ο Ησαυ εις συναντησιν αυτου και ενηγκαλισθη αυτον και επεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον? και εκλαυσαν.
5 When Esau looked about, he saw the women and children. "Who are these with you?" he asked. Jacob answered, "They are the children whom God has graciously bestowed on your servant."	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.
6 Then the maidservants and their children came forward and bowed low;	6 Τοτε επλησιασαν αι θεραπαιναι, αυται και τα τεκνα αυτων, και προσεκυνησαν?
7 next, Leah and her children came forward and bowed low; lastly, Rachel and her children came forward and bowed low.	7 παρομοιως επλησιασαν και η Λεια και τα τεκνα αυτης, και προσεκυνησαν? και μετα ταυτα επλησιασαν ο Ιωσηφ και η Ραχηλ και προσεκυνησαν.
8 Then Esau asked, "What did you intend with all those droves that I encountered?" Jacob answered, "It was to gain my lord's favor."	8 Και ειπε, Προς τι απαν το στρατοπεδον σου τουτο, το οποιον απηντησα; Ο δε ειπε, δια να ευρω χαριν εμπροσθεν του κυριου μου.
9 "I have plenty," replied Esau; "you should keep what is yours, brother."	9 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Εχω πολλα, αδελφε μου? εχε συ τα ιδικα σου.
10 "No, I beg you!" said Jacob. "If you will do me the favor, please accept this gift from me, since to come into your presence is for me like coming into the presence of God, now that you have received me so kindly.	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?
11 Do accept the present I have brought you; God has been generous toward me, and I have an abundance." Since he so urged him, Esau accepted.	11 δεξαι, παρακαλω, τας ευλογιας μου, τας προσφερομενας προς σε? διοτι με ηλεησεν ο Θεος και εχω τα παντα. Και εβιασεν αυτον και εδεχθη.
12 Then Esau said, "Let us break camp and be on our way; I will travel alongside you."	12 Και ειπεν, Ας σηκωθωμεν και ας υπαγωμεν, και εγω θελω προπορευεσθαι εμπροσθεν σου.
13 But Jacob replied: "As my lord can see, the children are frail. Besides, I am encumbered with the flocks and herds, which now have sucklings; if overdriven for a single day, the whole flock will die.	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.
14 Let my lord, then, go on ahead of me, while I proceed more slowly at the pace of the livestock before me and at the pace of my children, until I join my lord in Seir."	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.
15 Esau replied, "Let me at least put at your disposal some of the men who are with me." But Jacob said, "For what reason? Please indulge me in this, my lord."	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.
16 So on the same day that Esau began his journey back to Seir,	16 Επεστρεψε λοιπον ο Ησαυ την ημεραν εκεινην εις την οδον αυτου εις Σηειρ.
17 Jacob journeyed to Succoth. There he built a home for himself and made booths for his livestock. That is why the place was called Succoth.	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.
18 Having thus come from Paddan-aram, Jacob arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and he encamped in sight of the city.	18 Και αφου επεστρεψεν ο Ιακωβ απο Παδαν-αραμ, ηλθεν εις Σαλημ, πολιν Συχεμ, την εν τη γη Χανααν? και κατεσκηνωσεν εμπροσθεν της πολεως.
19 The plot of ground on which he had pitched his tent he bought for a hundred pieces of bullion from the descendants of Hamor, the founder of Shechem.	19 Και ηγορασε την μεριδα του αγρου, οπου εστησε την σκηνην αυτου, παρα των υιων του Εμμωρ, πατρος του Συχεμ, δι' εκατον αργυρια.
20 He set up a memorial stone there and invoked "El, the God of Israel."	20 Και εστησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον, και εκαλεσεν αυτο Ελ-ελωε-Ισραηλ.
