¹A Jakob pozdvihol svoje oči a videl, že hľa, Ezav ide a s ním štyristo mužov, a rozdelil deti na Leu, na Rácheľ a na obe dievky.

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;

²A dievky a ich synov postavil napredok a Leu a jej deti za nimi a Rácheľ a Jozefa naposledy.

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

³A sám išiel pred nimi a poklonil sa k zemi sedemkrát, až sa priblížil svojmu bratovi.

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

⁴A Ezav mu bežal oproti a objal ho a padnúc mu okolo krku bozkával ho, a plakali obaja.

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

⁵A keď pozdvihol svoje oči a videl ženy a deti, pýtal sa: Kto sú ti títo? A on odpovedal: To sú deti, ktoré dal Bôh z milosti tvojmu služobníkovi.

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.`

⁶A tak sa priblížily dievky aj ich synovia a poklonili sa.

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

⁷A prišla i Lea i jej deti, a tiež sa poklonily, a potom prišiel Jozef a Rácheľ, a poklonili sa.

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

⁸A Ezav povedal: Načo ti celý ten tábor, ktorý som stretol? A povedal: Aby som našiel milosť v očiach svojho pána.

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.`

⁹A Ezav povedal: Mám mnoho, môj bratu, len nech bude tebe, čo je tvoje.

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

¹⁰A Jakob povedal: Nie, prosím, ale ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, vezmeš môj dar z mojej ruky, lebo preto som videl tvoju tvár, ako by som bol videl tvár Božiu, a láskavo si ma prijal.

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;

¹¹Prijmi, prosím, moje požehnanie, ktoré ti je donesené, pretože mi to dal Bôh z milosti, a pretože mám hojnosť všetkého. A keď ho len nútil, vzal.

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,

¹²A Ezav povedal: Rušajme sa a poďme, a ja pojdem pred tebou.

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

¹³Ale on mu povedal: Môj pán vie, že deti sú útle, a že mám so sebou brezé ovce a telné kravy, a keď ich príliš poženú čo len jeden deň, pomrie mi celé stádo.

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.

¹⁴Nech len, prosím, ide môj pán pred svojím služobníkom, a ja poženiem pozvoľna, podľa toho, jako bude môcť ísť stádo, ktoré je predo mnou, a podľa toho, jako budú stačiť deti, až i prijdem k svojmu pánovi do Seira.

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.`

¹⁵A Ezav povedal: Dovoľ tedy, aby som postavil s tebou niekoľkých z ľudu, ktorý je so mnou. A on povedal: Načo to? Len nech najdem milosť v očiach svojho pána.

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.`

¹⁶A tak sa vrátil Ezav toho dňa na svoju cestu do Seira.

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

¹⁷A Jakob sa poberal do Sukkóta a vystavil si tam dom a svojmu stádu spravil obory; preto nazval meno toho miesta Sukkót.

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.

¹⁸A tak prišiel Jakob bez nehody a v pokoji k mestu Sichemu, ktoré je v zemi Kanaána, keď bol prišiel z Pádan-arama, a táboril pred mestom.

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,

¹⁹A kúpil diel poľa, na ktorom bol roztiahol svoj stán, z ruky synov Chamora, otca Sichemovho, za sto kesít.

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;

²⁰A postavil tam oltár, ktorý nazval El-elohe-jisrael.

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