Genesis 33

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Looking up, Jacob saw Esau coming and with him four hundred men. He then divided the childrenbetween Leah, Rachel and the two slave-girls.	1 ورفع يعقوب عينيه ونظر واذا عيسو مقبل ومعه اربع مئة رجل. فقسم الاولاد على ليئة وعلى راحيل وعلى الجاريتين.
2 He put the slave-girls and their children in front, with Leah and her children fol owing, and Rachel andJoseph behind.	2 ووضع الجاريتين واولادهما اولا وليئة واولادها وراءهم وراحيل ويوسف اخيرا.
3 He himself went ahead of them and bowed 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 But Esau ran to meet him, took him in his arms, threw himself on his neck and wept as he kissed him.	4 فركض عيسو للقائه وعانقه ووقع على عنقه وقبّله. وبكيا
5 Then looking up he saw the women and children. 'Who are these with you?' he asked. Jacobanswered, 'The children whom God has bestowed on your servant.'	5 ثم رفع عينيه وابصر النساء والاولاد وقال ما هؤلاء منك. فقال الاولاد الذين انعم الله بهم على عبدك.
6 The slave-girls then came up with their children, and they al bowed low.	6 فاقتربت الجاريتان هما واولادهما وسجدتا.
7 Then Leah too came up with her children, and they al bowed low. Finally Rachel and Joseph came upand bowed low.	7 ثم اقتربت ليئة ايضا واولادها وسجدوا. وبعد ذلك اقترب يوسف وراحيل وسجدا.
8 Esau asked, 'What was the purpose of that whole camp I just met?' 'To win my lord's favour,' hereplied.	8 فقال ماذا منك كل هذا الجيش الذي صادفته. فقال لاجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.
9 'Brother, I have plenty,' Esau answered, 'keep what is yours.'	9 فقال عيسو لي كثير. يا اخي ليكن لك الذي لك.
10 Jacob protested, 'No, if I have won your favour, please accept the gift I offer, for in fact I have comeinto your presence as into the presence of God, since you have received me kindly.	10 فقال يعقوب لا. ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك تاخذ هديتي من يدي. لاني رأيت وجهك كما يرى وجه الله فرضيت عليّ.
11 So accept the gift I have brought for you, since God has been generous to me and I have al I need.'And he urged him, and Esau accepted.	11 خذ بركتي التي أتي بها اليك. لان الله قد انعم عليّ ولي كل شيء. والحّ عليه فاخذ
12 Esau said, 'Let us break camp and move off; I shal go beside you.'	12 ثم قال لنرحل ونذهب واذهب انا قدامك.
13 But Jacob replied, 'As my lord knows, the children are weak, and the sheep and cows which havecalved make it hard for me. If they are driven too hard, even for one day, the whole drove will die.	13 فقال له سيدي عالم ان الاولاد رخصة والغنم والبقر التي عندي مرضعة. فان استكدّوها يوما واحدا ماتت كل الغنم.
14 May it please my lord to go on ahead of his servant. For my part, I shal move at a slower pace, tosuit the flock I am driving and the 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 then said, 'At least let me leave you some of the people who are with me.' 'What for?' Jacobasked. 'Please indulge me, my lord!'	15 فقال عيسو اترك عندك من القوم الذين معي. فقال لماذا. دعني اجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.
16 So that day Esau turned back towards Seir,	16 فرجع عيسو ذلك اليوم في طريقه الى سعير
17 but Jacob made his way to Succoth, where he built himself a house and made shelters for hislivestock; that is why the place was given the name of Succoth.	17 واما يعقوب فارتحل الى سكّوت. وبنى لنفسه بيتا وصنع لمواشيه مظلات. لذلك دعا اسم المكان سكّوت.
18 Jacob arrived safely at the town of Shechem in Canaanite territory, on his return from Paddan-Aram.He encamped opposite the town	18 ثم اتى يعقوب سالما الى مدينة شكيم التي في ارض كنعان. حين جاء من فدّان ارام. ونزل امام المدينة.
19 and for one hundred pieces of silver he bought from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem the pieceof land on which he had pitched his tent.	19 وابتاع قطعة الحقل التي نصب فيها خيمته من يد بني حمور ابي شكيم بمئة قسيطة.
20 There he erected an altar which he cal ed 'El, God of Israel'.	20 واقام هناك مذبحا ودعاه ايل اله اسرائيل
