| 1 | And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids: | Ἀναβλέψας δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε· καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐρχόμενος, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ διεῖλεν Ἰακὼβ τὰ παιδία ἐπὶ Λείαν, καὶ ἐπὶ Ῥαχὴλ, καὶ τὰς δύο παιδίσκας. |
| 2 | And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last. | Καὶ ἔθετο τὰς δύο παιδίσκας καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πρώτοις, καὶ Λείαν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς ὀπίσω, καὶ Ῥαχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐσχάτους. |
| 3 | And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near. | Αὐτὸς δὲ προῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν· καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτάκις, ἕως τοῦ ἐγγίσαι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ. |
| 4 | Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept. | Καὶ προσέδραμεν Ἡσαῦ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ· καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτὸν προσέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι. |
| 5 | And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant. | Καὶ ἀναβλέψας Ἡσαῦ εἶδε τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ παιδία· καὶ εἶπε, τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστίν; ὁ δὲ εἶπε, τὰ παιδία, οἷς ἠλέησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν παῖδά σου. |
| 6 | Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves. | Καὶ προσήγγισαν αἱ παιδίσκαι καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν. |
| 7 | Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down. | Καὶ προσήγγισε Λεία καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, καὶ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσήγγισε Ῥαχὴλ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν. |
| 8 | And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. | Καὶ εἶπε, τί ταῦτά σοι ἐστὶν, πᾶσαι αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αὗται, αἷς ἀπήντηκα; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε. |
| 9 | But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ, ἔστι μοι πολλὰ, ἀδελφέ· ἔστω σοι τὰ σά. |
| 10 | And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me, | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, εἰ εὓρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, δέξαι τὰ δῶρα διὰ τῶν ἐμῶν χειρῶν· ἕνεκεν τούτου εἶδον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, ὡς ἄν τις ἴδοι πρόσωπον Θεοῦ, καὶ εὐδοκήσεις με. |
| 11 | And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him, | Λάβε τὰς εὐλογίας μου, ἃς ἤνεγκά σοι, ὅτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα· καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλαβε. |
| 12 | And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey. | Καὶ εἶπεν, ἀπάραντες πορευσώμεθα ἐπʼ εὐθεῖαν. |
| 13 | And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die. | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, ὁ κύριός μου γινώσκει, ὅτι τὰ παιδία ἁπαλώτερα, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ αἱ βόες λοχεύονται ἐπʼ ἐμέ· ἐὰν οὖν καταδιώξω αὐτὰ ἡμέραν μίαν, ἀποθανοῦνται πάντα τὰ κτήνη. |
| 14 | May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir. | Προελθέτω ὁ κύριός μου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐνισχύσω ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ κατὰ σχολὴν τῆς πορεύσεως τῆς ἐναντίον μου, καὶ κατὰ πόδα τῶν παιδαρίων, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν με πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς Σηείρ. |
| 15 | Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ, καταλείψω μετὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἱκανὸν ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε. |
| 16 | So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir. | Ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηείρ. |
| 17 | And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents. | Καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπαίρει εἰς σκηνὰς, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἐκεῖ οἰκίας, καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε σκηνάς· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Σκηναί. |
| 18 | And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town: | Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰακὼβ εἰς Σαλὴμ, πόλιν Σηκίμων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, ὅτε ἐπανῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας· καὶ παρενέλαβε κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς πόλεως. |
| 19 | And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs. | Καὶ ἐκτήσατο τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὗ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, παρὰ Ἐμμὼρ πατρὸς Συχὲμ, ἑκατὸν ἀμνῶν. |
| 20 | And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel. | Καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ. |
