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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.”

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