Genesis 33

Yakub berbaik kembali dengan Esau
33:1 Yakubpun melayangkan pandangnya, lalu dilihatnyalah Esau datang dengan diiringi oleh empat ratus orang. Maka diserahkannyalah sebagian dari anak-anak itu kepada Lea dan sebagian kepada Rahel serta kepada kedua budak perempuan itu. 33:2 Ia menempatkan budak-budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anak mereka di muka, Lea beserta anak-anaknya di belakang mereka, dan Rahel beserta Yusuf di belakang sekali. 33:3 Dan ia sendiri berjalan di depan mereka dan ia sujud sampai ke tanah tujuh kali, hingga ia sampai ke dekat kakaknya itu. 33:4 Tetapi Esau berlari mendapatkan dia, didekapnya dia, dipeluk lehernya dan diciumnya dia, lalu bertangis-tangisanlah mereka. 33:5 Kemudian Esau melayangkan pandangnya, dilihatnyalah perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak itu, lalu ia bertanya: "Siapakah orang-orang yang beserta engkau itu?" Jawab Yakub: "Anak-anak yang telah dikaruniakan Allah kepada hambamu ini." 33:6 Sesudah itu mendekatlah budak-budak perempuan itu beserta anak-anaknya, lalu mereka sujud. 33:7 Mendekat jugalah Lea beserta anak-anaknya, dan merekapun sujud. Kemudian mendekatlah Yusuf beserta Rahel, dan mereka juga sujud. 33:8 Berkatalah Esau: "Apakah maksudmu dengan seluruh pasukan, yang telah bertemu dengan aku tadi?" Jawabnya: "Untuk mendapat kasih tuanku." 33:9 Tetapi kata Esau: "Aku mempunyai banyak, adikku; peganglah apa yang ada padamu." 33:10 Tetapi kata Yakub: "Janganlah kiranya demikian; jikalau aku telah mendapat kasihmu, terimalah persembahanku ini dari tanganku, karena memang melihat mukamu adalah bagiku serasa melihat wajah Allah, dan engkaupun berkenan menyambut aku.
33:11 Terimalah kiranya pemberian tanda salamku ini, yang telah kubawa kepadamu, sebab Allah telah memberi karunia kepadaku dan akupun mempunyai segala-galanya." Lalu dibujuk-bujuknyalah Esau, sehingga diterimanya. 33:12 Kata Esau: "Baiklah kita berangkat berjalan terus; aku akan menyertai engkau."
33:13 Tetapi Yakub berkata kepadanya: "Tuanku maklum, bahwa anak-anak ini masih kurang kuat, dan bahwa beserta aku ada kambing domba dan lembu sapi yang masih menyusui, jika diburu-buru, satu hari saja, maka seluruh kumpulan binatang itu akan mati. 33:14 Biarlah kiranya tuanku berjalan lebih dahulu dari hambamu ini dan aku mau dengan hati-hati beringsut maju menurut langkah hewan, yang berjalan di depanku dan menurut langkah anak-anak, sampai aku tiba pada tuanku di Seir." 33:15 Lalu kata Esau: "Kalau begitu, baiklah kutinggalkan padamu beberapa orang dari pengiringku." Tetapi Yakub berkata: "Tidak usah demikian! Biarlah aku mendapat kasih tuanku saja." 33:16 Jadi pulanglah Esau pada hari itu berjalan ke Seir.
33:17 Tetapi Yakub berangkat ke Sukot, lalu mendirikan rumah, dan untuk ternaknya dibuatnya gubuk-gubuk. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Sukot. 33:18 Dalam perjalanannya dari Padan-Aram sampailah Yakub dengan selamat ke Sikhem, di tanah Kanaan, lalu ia berkemah di sebelah timur kota itu.
33:19 Kemudian dibelinyalah dari anak-anak Hemor, bapa Sikhem, sebidang tanah, tempat ia memasang kemahnya, dengan harga seratus kesita.
33:20 Ia mendirikan mezbah di situ dan dinamainya itu: "Allah Israel ialah Allah."

1

Jacob 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.
2

He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3

He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4

Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5

He 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."
6

Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7

Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8

Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9

Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."
10

Jacob 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.
11

Please 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.
12

Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."
13

Jacob 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.
14

Please 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."
15

Esau 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."
16

So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17

Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18

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.
19

He 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.
20

He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
