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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴فركض عيسو للقائه وعانقه ووقع على عنقه وقبّله. وبكيا

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

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

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

⁶فاقتربت الجاريتان هما واولادهما وسجدتا.

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

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

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

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

⁸And he said, What meanest thou by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.

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

⁹And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which thou hast be thine.

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

¹⁰And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

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

¹¹Take, I pray thee, my gift 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.

¹²ثم قال لنرحل ونذهب واذهب انا قدامك.

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

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

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

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 will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

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

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 favor in the sight of my lord.

¹⁶فرجع عيسو ذلك اليوم في طريقه الى سعير

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

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

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

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

¹⁸And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.

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

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

²⁰واقام هناك مذبحا ودعاه ايل اله اسرائيل

²⁰And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-israel.
