Genesis 33

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:	1 Elevans autem Iacob oculos suos vidit venientem Esau et cum eo quadringentos viros; divisitque filios Liae et Rachel ambarumque famularum.
2 And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.	2 Et posuit utramque ancillam et liberos earum in principio, Liam vero et filios eius in secundo loco, Rachel autem et Ioseph novissimos.
3 And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.	3 Et ipse praegrediens adoravit pronus in terram septies, donec appropinquaret ad fratrem suum.
4 Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.	4 Currens itaque Esau obviam fratri suo amplexatus est eum; stringensque collum eius osculatus est eum, et fleverunt.
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.	5 Levatisque oculis, vidit mulieres et liberos earum et ait: “ Qui sunt isti tibi? ”. Respondit: “ Liberi sunt, quos donavit mihi Deus servo tuo ”.
6 Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.	6 Et appropinquantes ancillae et filii earum incurvati sunt.
7 Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.	7 Accessit quoque Lia cum liberis suis et, cum similiter adorassent, extremi Ioseph et Rachel adoraverunt.
8 And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favor before my lord.	8 “ Quaenam sunt, inquit, istae turmae, quas obvias habui? ”. Respondit: “ Ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo ”.
9 But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.	9 At ille: “ Habeo, ait, plurima, frater mi; sint tua tibi ”.
10 And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favor in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,	10 Dixit Iacob: “ Noli ita, obsecro; sed, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, accipe munusculum de manibus meis; sic enim vidi faciem tuam quasi viderim vultum Dei, et mihi propitius fuisti.
11 And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother's earnest pressing him,	11 Suscipe, quaeso, benedictionem, quae allata est tibi; quia Deus misertus est mihi, et habeo omnia ”. Et, cum compelleret illum, suscepit
12 And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.	12 et ait: “ Gradiamur simul, eroque socius itineris tui ”.
13 And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.	13 Dixit Iacob: “ Nosti, domine mi, quod parvulos habeam teneros et oves et boves fetas mecum; quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare vel una die, morientur cuncti greges.
14 May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.	14 Praecedat dominus meus ante servum suum; et ego sequar paulatim secundum gressum pecorum ante me et secundum gressum parvulorum, donec veniam ad dominum meum in Seir ”.
15 Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favor, my lord, in thy sight.	15 Respondit Esau: “ Oro te, ut de populo, qui mecum est, saltem socii remaneant viae tuae”. “ Non est, inquit, necesse; hoc uno indigeo, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu domini mei ”.
16 So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.	16 Reversus est itaque illo die Esau itinere suo in Seir.
17 And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.	17 Et Iacob venit in Succoth, ubi, aedificata sibi domo et fixis tentoriis pro gregibus suis, appellavit nomen loci illius Succoth (id est Tabernacula).
18 And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:	18 Transivitque Iacob incolumis ad urbem Sichem, quae est in terra Chanaan, cum veniret de Paddanaram; et habitavit iuxta oppidum.
19 And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.	19 Emitque partem agri, in qua fixerat tabernaculum suum, a filiis Hemmor patris Sichem centum argenteis.
20 And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.	20 Et erexit ibi altare et vocavit illud: “ Deus est Deus Israel ”.
