Genesis 33

levans autem Iacob oculos suos vidit venientem Esau et cum eo quadringentos viros divisitque filios Liae et Rahel ambarumque famularum

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

et posuit utramque ancillam et liberos earum in principio Liam vero et filios eius in secundo loco Rahel autem et Ioseph novissimos

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

et ipse praegrediens adoravit pronus in terram septies donec adpropinquaret frater eius

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

currens itaque Esau obviam fratri suo amplexatus est eum stringensque collum et osculans flevit

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

levatisque oculis vidit mulieres et parvulos earum et ait quid sibi volunt isti et si ad te pertinent respondit parvuli sunt quos donavit mihi Deus servo tuo

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

et adpropinquantes ancillae et filii earum incurvati sunt

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

accessitque Lia cum liberis suis et cum similiter adorassent extremi Ioseph et Rahel adoraverunt

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

quaenam sunt inquit istae turmae quas obvias habui respondit ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo

And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

et ille habeo ait plurima frater mi sint tua tibi

And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.

dixit Iacob noli ita obsecro sed si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis accipe munusculum de manibus meis sic enim vidi faciem tuam quasi viderim vultum Dei esto mihi propitius

And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

et suscipe benedictionem quam adtuli tibi et quam donavit mihi Deus tribuens omnia vix fratre conpellente suscipiens

Take, I pray thee, my blessing 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.

ait gradiamur simul eroque socius itineris tui

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

dixit Iacob nosti domine mi quod parvulos habeam teneros et oves ac boves fetas mecum quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare morientur una die cuncti greges

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

praecedat dominus meus ante servum suum et ego sequar paulatim vestigia eius sicut videro posse parvulos meos donec veniam ad dominum meum in Seir

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

respondit Esau oro te ut de populo qui mecum est saltem socii remaneant viae tuae non est inquit necesse hoc uno indigeo ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu domini mei

And 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 grace in the sight of my lord.

reversus est itaque illo die Esau itinere quo venerat in Seir

So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

et Iacob venit in Soccoth ubi aedificata domo et fixis tentoriis appellavit nomen loci illius Soccoth id est Tabernacula

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

transivitque in Salem urbem Sycimorum quae est in terra Chanaan postquam regressus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae et habitavit iuxta oppidum

And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan–aram; and pitched his tent before the city.

emitque partem agri in qua fixerat tabernaculum a filiis Emor patris Sychem centum agnis

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

et erecto ibi altari invocavit super illud Fortissimum Deum Israhel

And he erected there an altar, and called it El–elohe–Israel.
