¹Yakub melihat Esau datang dengan empat ratus orangnya. Karena itu dibaginya anak-anaknya di antara Lea, Rahel dan kedua selirnya.

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

²Ia menempatkan kedua selirnya bersama anak-anak mereka di depan, kemudian Lea bersama anak-anaknya, lalu Rahel dan Yusuf di belakang sekali.

²He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

³Yakub berjalan di depan mereka semua, dan sambil mendekati abangnya, ia sujud sampai tujuh kali.

³He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

⁴Tetapi Esau berlari mendapatkan Yakub, lalu memeluknya dan menciumnya. Dan kedua orang itu bertangis-tangisan.

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

⁵Ketika Esau melihat semua wanita dan anak-anak itu, ia bertanya, "Siapa mereka yang ada bersamamu ini?" "Mereka anak-anak saya," jawab Yakub, "Allah telah mengaruniakan anak-anak itu kepada saya."

⁵He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”

⁶Setelah itu para selir maju dengan anak-anak mereka, lalu sujud.

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

⁷Kemudian datanglah Lea beserta anak-anaknya, dan yang terakhir Yusuf dan Rahel mendekat lalu mereka semua sujud.

⁷Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

⁸Esau bertanya, "Apa maksudmu dengan rombongan-rombongan yang saya jumpai tadi?" Yakub menjawab, "Untuk menyenangkan hati Abang."

⁸Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”

⁹Tetapi Esau berkata, "Sudah cukup harta saya, tak perlu kau memberi hadiah kepada saya."

⁹Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”

¹⁰Kata Yakub, "Jangan! Jika saya telah menyenangkan hati Abang, terimalah persembahan saya ini. Bagiku, melihat wajah Abang sama dengan melihat wajah Allah, karena Abang begitu ramah kepada saya.

¹⁰Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

¹¹Saya mohon, terimalah persembahan yang telah saya bawa ini. Allah telah baik hati kepada saya dan memberikan segala sesuatu yang saya perlukan." Yakub terus mendesak sampai akhirnya Esau menerima pemberiannya itu.

¹¹Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.

¹²Lalu Esau berkata, "Marilah kita bersiap-siap untuk berangkat, saya akan berjalan mendahuluimu."

¹²Esau said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.”

¹³Yakub menjawab, "Abang tahu bahwa anak-anak ini lemah, dan saya harus hati-hati dengan semua ternak yang sedang menyusui. Jika digiring cepat-cepat, walaupun hanya satu hari saja, maka seluruh kawanan binatang itu akan mati.

¹³Jacob said to him, “My lord knows 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.

¹⁴Berjalanlah lebih dahulu, saya ikut dengan perlahan-lahan. Saya akan berjalan secepat mungkin dengan ternak dan anak-anakku ini sampai dapat menyusul Abang di Edom."

¹⁴Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”

¹⁵Kata Esau, "Kalau begitu, baiklah saya tinggalkan padamu beberapa anak buah saya." Tetapi Yakub menjawab, "Tak usahlah bersusah-susah, saya hanya ingin menyenangkan hati Abang."

¹⁵Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

¹⁶Demikianlah pada hari itu Esau berangkat kembali ke Edom.

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

¹⁷Tetapi Yakub pergi ke Sukot, lalu mendirikan rumah bagi dirinya dan tempat berteduh bagi ternaknya. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamakan Sukot.

¹⁷Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. succoth means shelters or booths.

¹⁸Dalam perjalanan dari Mesopotamia, sampailah Yakub dengan selamat di kota Sikhem di negeri Kanaan, lalu memasang kemahnya di sebuah padang dekat kota.

¹⁸Jacob 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.

¹⁹Padang tempat perkemahannya itu dibelinya dari orang keturunan Hemor, ayah Sikhem, dengan harga seratus uang perak.

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

²⁰Kemudian ia mendirikan mezbah di situ dan menamakannya "El, Allah Israel".

²⁰He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel. El Elohe Israel means “God, the God of Israel” or “The God of Israel is mighty.”
