Genesis 33

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
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 ورفع يعقوب عينيه ونظر واذا عيسو مقبل ومعه اربع مئة رجل. فقسم الاولاد على ليئة وعلى راحيل وعلى الجاريتين.
2 putting the maids and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.	2 ووضع الجاريتين واولادهما اولا وليئة واولادها وراءهم وراحيل ويوسف اخيرا.
3 He himself went on ahead of them, bowing to the ground seven times, until he reached his brother.	3 واما هو فاجتاز قدامهم وسجد الى الارض سبع مرات حتى اقترب الى اخيه.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, and flinging himself on his neck, kissed him as he wept.	4 فركض عيسو للقائه وعانقه ووقع على عنقه وقبّله. وبكيا
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 ثم رفع عينيه وابصر النساء والاولاد وقال ما هؤلاء منك. فقال الاولاد الذين انعم الله بهم على عبدك.
6 Then the maidservants and their children came forward and bowed low;	6 فاقتربت الجاريتان هما واولادهما وسجدتا.
7 next, Leah and her children came forward and bowed low; lastly, Rachel and her children came forward and bowed low.	7 ثم اقتربت ليئة ايضا واولادها وسجدوا. وبعد ذلك اقترب يوسف وراحيل وسجدا.
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 فقال ماذا منك كل هذا الجيش الذي صادفته. فقال لاجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.
9 "I have plenty," replied Esau; "you should keep what is yours, brother."	9 فقال عيسو لي كثير. يا اخي ليكن لك الذي لك.
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 فقال يعقوب لا. ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك تاخذ هديتي من يدي. لاني رأيت وجهك كما يرى وجه الله فرضيت عليّ.
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 خذ بركتي التي أتي بها اليك. لان الله قد انعم عليّ ولي كل شيء. والحّ عليه فاخذ
12 Then Esau said, "Let us break camp and be on our way; I will travel alongside you."	12 ثم قال لنرحل ونذهب واذهب انا قدامك.
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 فقال له سيدي عالم ان الاولاد رخصة والغنم والبقر التي عندي مرضعة. فان استكدّوها يوما واحدا ماتت كل الغنم.
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 ليجتز سيدي قدام عبده وانا استاق على مهلي في اثر الاملاك التي قدامي وفي اثر الاولاد حتى اجيء الى سيدي الى سعير.
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 فقال عيسو اترك عندك من القوم الذين معي. فقال لماذا. دعني اجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.
16 So on the same day that Esau began his journey back to Seir,	16 فرجع عيسو ذلك اليوم في طريقه الى سعير
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 واما يعقوب فارتحل الى سكّوت. وبنى لنفسه بيتا وصنع لمواشيه مظلات. لذلك دعا اسم المكان سكّوت.
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 ثم اتى يعقوب سالما الى مدينة شكيم التي في ارض كنعان. حين جاء من فدّان ارام. ونزل امام المدينة.
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 وابتاع قطعة الحقل التي نصب فيها خيمته من يد بني حمور ابي شكيم بمئة قسيطة.
20 He set up a memorial stone there and invoked "El, the God of Israel."	20 واقام هناك مذبحا ودعاه ايل اله اسرائيل
