| 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: | Elevans autem Iacob oculos suos, vidit venientem Esau, et cum eo quadringentos viros: divisitque filios Liae et Rachel, ambarumque famularum: |
| 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. | et posuit utramque ancillam, et liberos earum, in principio: Liam vero, et filios eius, in secundo loco: Rachel autem et Ioseph novissimos. |
| 3 | And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near. | Et ipse progrediens adoravit pronus in terram septies, donec appropinquaret frater eius. |
| 4 | Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept. | Currens itaque Esau obviam fratri suo, amplexatus est eum: stringensque collum eius, et osculans flevit. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 6 | Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves. | Et appropinquantes ancillae et filii earum, incurvati sunt. |
| 7 | Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down. | Accessit quoque Lia cum pueris suis: et cum similiter adorassent, extremi Ioseph et Rachel adoraverunt. |
| 8 | And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. | Dixitque Esau: Quaenam sunt istae turmae quas obviam habui? Respondit: Ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo. |
| 9 | But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself. | At ille ait: Habeo plurima, frater mi, sint tua tibi. |
| 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, | Dixitque 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, |
| 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, | et suscipe benedictionem quam attuli tibi, et quam donavit mihi Deus tribuens omnia. Vix fratre compellente, suscipiens, |
| 12 | And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey. | ait: Gradiamur simul, eroque socius itineris tui. |
| 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. | Dixitque Iacob: Nosti, domine mi, quod parvulos habeam teneros, et oves, et boves foetas mecum: quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare, morientur una die cuncti greges. |
| 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. | Praecedat dominus meus ante servum suum: et ego sequar paulatim vestigia eius, sicut videro parvulos meos posse, donec veniam ad dominum meum in Seir. |
| 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. | Respondit Esau: Oro te, ut de populo qui mecum est, saltem socri remaneant viae tuae. Non est, inquit, necesse: hoc uno tantum indigeo, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo, domine mi. |
| 16 | So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir. | Reversus est itaque illo die Esau itinere quo venerat in Seir. |
| 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. | Et Iacob venit in Socoth: ubi aedificata domo et fixis tentoriis appellavit nomen loci illius Socoth, id est, Tabernacula. |
| 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: | Transivitque in Salem urbem Sichimorum, quae est in terra Chanaan, postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriae: et habitavit iuxta oppidum. |
| 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. | Emitque partem agri, in qua fixerat tabernacula, a filiis Hemor patris Sichem centum agnis. |
| 20 | And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel. | Et erecto ibi altari, invocavit super illud fortissimum Deum Israël. |
