¹And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.

¹In Jakob povzdigne oči in vidi, in glej, Ezav prihaja in štiristo mož ž njim. In razdeli otroke na Lejo in na Rahelo in na dve dekli;

²And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

²in postavi dekli in njune otroke spredaj in Lejo in otroke njene za njimi, Rahelo pa in Jožefa najzadnje.

³And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

³Sam pa gre naprej pred njimi in se prikloni do tal sedemkrat, dokler pride blizu brata svojega.

⁴And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

⁴A Ezav mu priteče naproti, ga objame, se mu oklene vratu in ga poljubi; in oba jočeta.

⁵And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.

⁵In Ezav povzdigne oči, in ko zagleda žene in otroke, reče: Kdo so tebi tile? On odgovori: Otročiči so, ki jih je Bog milostno podaril hlapcu tvojemu.

⁶Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

⁶Nato pristopita dekli, oni in njuni otroci, ter se priklonijo.

⁷And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

⁷Potem pristopi tudi Leja in otroci njeni ter se priklonijo; in naposled pristopi Jožef in Rahela ter se priklonita.

⁸And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

⁸In vpraša Ezav: Kaj hočeš z vsem tistim krdelom, ki sem ga srečal? On pa reče: Da najdem milost v očeh gospoda svojega.

⁹And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.

⁹A Ezav veli: Jaz imam dovolj, brat moj; ti imej, kar je tvoje.

¹⁰And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

¹⁰In Jakob reče: Nikar; če sem res našel milost v tvojih očeh, prosim, sprejmi darilo moje iz roke moje; saj zategadelj sem zagledal obličje tvoje, kakor da bi bil zagledal obličje Božje, in blagovoljno si me sprejel.

¹¹Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.

¹¹Vzemi prosim, blagodar moj, ki so ga privedli k tebi, ker me je milostno obdaril Bog, da imam vsega dosti. In ker ga je silil, je sprejel.

¹²And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

¹²Nato reče: Napotiva se in idiva dalje, in jaz te bom spremljal.

¹³And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

¹³Jakob mu reče: Gospod moj ve, da so ti otroci nežni in da imam pri sebi ovce in krave doječe; ako jih bodo preveč gnali en dan, mi pogine vsa čreda.

¹⁴Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

¹⁴Ide naj, prosim, gospod moj pred hlapcem svojim: Jaz pa pojdem počasi in polahkoma po hoji živine, ki je pred menoj, in po hoji otrok, dokler ne pridem k svojemu gospodu v Seir.

¹⁵And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

¹⁵Še reče Ezav: Postavim naj pri tebi nekoliko ljudstva, ki je z menoj. On pa reče: Čemu to? Da le milost najdem v očeh svojega gospoda!

¹⁶So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

¹⁶Vrne se torej še tisti dan Ezav po svojem potu proti Seiru.

¹⁷And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

¹⁷Jakob pa se napoti v Sukot, kjer si zgradi hišo, živini pa svoji napravi stane. Zato se je imenoval tisti kraj Sukot [T. j. stanovi.].

¹⁸And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.

¹⁸In pride Jakob v miru [Ali: v Salem, mesto.] do mesta Sihema, ki je v deželi Kanaanski, ko je dospel iz Padan-arama, in postavi šatore pred mestom.

¹⁹And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.

¹⁹In kupi kos polja, na katerem je razpel šator svoj, od sinov Hamorja, očeta Sihemovega, za sto kesit [Kesita pomeni določeno težo srebra ali denarja.].In tu je postavil oltar in ga je imenoval: Bog mogočni je Bog Izraelov.

²⁰And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

²⁰In tu je postavil oltar in ga je imenoval: Bog mogočni je Bog Izraelov.
