¹ورفع يعقوب عينيه ونظر واذا عيسو مقبل ومعه اربع مئة رجل. فقسم الاولاد على ليئة وعلى راحيل وعلى الجاريتين.

¹And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;

²ووضع الجاريتين واولادهما اولا وليئة واولادها وراءهم وراحيل ويوسف اخيرا.

²and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

³واما هو فاجتاز قدامهم وسجد الى الارض سبع مرات حتى اقترب الى اخيه.

³And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,

⁴فركض عيسو للقائه وعانقه ووقع على عنقه وقبّله. وبكيا

⁴and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;

⁵ثم رفع عينيه وابصر النساء والاولاد وقال ما هؤلاء منك. فقال الاولاد الذين انعم الله بهم على عبدك.

⁵and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, `What [are] these to thee?` And he saith, `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.`

⁶فاقتربت الجاريتان هما واولادهما وسجدتا.

⁶And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;

⁷ثم اقتربت ليئة ايضا واولادها وسجدوا. وبعد ذلك اقترب يوسف وراحيل وسجدا.

⁷and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.

⁸فقال ماذا منك كل هذا الجيش الذي صادفته. فقال لاجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.

⁸And he saith, `What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?` and he saith, `To find grace in the eyes of my lord.`

⁹فقال عيسو لي كثير. يا اخي ليكن لك الذي لك.

⁹And Esau saith, `I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.`

¹⁰فقال يعقوب لا. ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك تاخذ هديتي من يدي. لاني رأيت وجهك كما يرى وجه الله فرضيت عليّ.

¹⁰And Jacob saith, `Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;

¹¹خذ بركتي التي أتي بها اليك. لان الله قد انعم عليّ ولي كل شيء. والحّ عليه فاخذ

¹¹receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];` and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,

¹²ثم قال لنرحل ونذهب واذهب انا قدامك.

¹²and saith, `Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.`

¹³فقال له سيدي عالم ان الاولاد رخصة والغنم والبقر التي عندي مرضعة. فان استكدّوها يوما واحدا ماتت كل الغنم.

¹³And he saith unto him, `My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.

¹⁴ليجتز سيدي قدام عبده وانا استاق على مهلي في اثر الاملاك التي قدامي وفي اثر الاولاد حتى اجيء الى سيدي الى سعير.

¹⁴Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.`

¹⁵فقال عيسو اترك عندك من القوم الذين معي. فقال لماذا. دعني اجد نعمة في عيني سيدي.

¹⁵And Esau saith, `Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;` and he said, `Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.`

¹⁶فرجع عيسو ذلك اليوم في طريقه الى سعير

¹⁶And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;

¹⁷واما يعقوب فارتحل الى سكّوت. وبنى لنفسه بيتا وصنع لمواشيه مظلات. لذلك دعا اسم المكان سكّوت.

¹⁷and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.

¹⁸ثم اتى يعقوب سالما الى مدينة شكيم التي في ارض كنعان. حين جاء من فدّان ارام. ونزل امام المدينة.

¹⁸And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,

¹⁹وابتاع قطعة الحقل التي نصب فيها خيمته من يد بني حمور ابي شكيم بمئة قسيطة.

¹⁹and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;

²⁰واقام هناك مذبحا ودعاه ايل اله اسرائيل

²⁰and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
