The Book of Genesis, Chapter 33ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ ΛΓ′

Ἀναβλέψας δὲ Ιακωβ εἶδεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ησαυ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐρχόμενος, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ' αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπεμέρισεν Ιακωβ τὰ παιδία ἐπὶ Λειαν καὶ Ραχηλ καὶ τὰς δύο παιδίσκας.

And Jacob lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, Esau his brother coming, and with him four hundred men; and Jacob divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maidservants.

καὶ ἔθηκεν τὰς δύο παιδίσκας καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ Λειαν καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς ὀπίσω καὶ Ραχηλ καὶ Ιωσηφ ἐσχάτους.

And he placed the two maidservants and their sons first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

αὐτὸς δὲ προῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτάκις, ἕως τοῦ ἐγγίσαι τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.

But he himself went on ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

καὶ προσέδραμεν Ησαυ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ περιελάβεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι.

And Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell upon his neck and kissed him, and both wept.

καὶ ἀναβλέψας Ησαυ εἶδεν τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ παιδία καὶ εἶπεν Τί ταῦτά σοί ἐστιν; εἶπεν δέ Τὰ παιδία, οἷς ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν παῖδά σου.

And Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children and said, 'What are these to you?' He said, 'The children with whom God has shown mercy to your servant.'

καὶ προσήγγισαν αἱ παιδίσκαι καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν.

And the maidservants and their children drew near and bowed down.

καὶ προσήγγισεν Λεια καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησαν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσήγγισεν Ραχηλ καὶ Ιωσηφ καὶ προσεκύνησαν.

And Leah with her children drew near and bowed down; and after these things Rachel and Joseph drew near and bowed down.

καὶ εἶπεν Τί ταῦτά σοί ἐστιν, πᾶσαι αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αὗται ἃς ἀπήντηκα; εἶπεν δέ Ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.

And he said, 'What are all these camps to you, which I encountered?' He said, 'That your servant might find favor in your sight, my lord.'

εἶπεν δὲ Ησαυ Ἔστιν μοι πολλά, ἀδελφέ· ἔστω σοι τὰ σά.

But Esau said, 'I have much, brother; let what is yours be yours.'

εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ Εἰ εὕρηκα χάριν ἐναντίον σου, δέξαι τὰ δῶρά μου ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν μου· ἕνεκεν τούτου εἶδον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, ὡς ἄν τις ἴδοι πρόσωπον θεοῦ, καὶ εὐδοκήσεις ἐν ἐμοί.

But Jacob said, 'If I have found favor in your sight, receive my gifts from my hands; for this reason I have seen your face as one would see the face of God, and you have shown pleasure in me.'

λάβε τὰς εὐλογίας μου ἃς ἤνεγκά σοι, ὅτι ἠλέησέν με ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἔστιν μοι πάντα. καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτόν, καὶ ἔλαβεν.

'Take my blessings that I have brought to you, because God has shown me mercy and I have everything.' And he pressed him, and he took them.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἀναζεύξαντες πορευθῶμεν, καὶ πορεύσομαι σύμψυχός σου.

And he said, 'Let us break camp and go, and I will travel as one soul with you.'

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ὁ κύριός μου οἶδεν ὅτι τὰ παιδία ἁπαλώτερα, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ αἱ βόες λοχεύουσιν ἐπ' ἐμέ· ἐὰν οὖν κατατρέξω αὐτοὺς ἡμέραν μίαν, ἀποθανοῦνται πάντα τὰ ποίμνια.

But he said to him, 'My lord knows that the children are tender, and the sheep and cattle are nursing on me; if I drive them hard for one day, all the flocks will die.'

προελθέτω ὁ κύριός μου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ παιδός· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐνισχύσω ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ κατὰ σχολὴν τῆς ἀγωγῆς τῆς ἐναντίον μου καὶ κατὰ πόδα τοῦ παιδαρίου, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν με πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς Σηιρ.

Let my lord go on ahead of his servant; but I will make my way on the journey at the pace of the drove that goes before me and at the pace of the little ones, until I come to my lord at Seir.

εἶπεν δὲ Ησαυ Καταλείψω μετὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετ' ἐμοῦ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἱκανόν ἐστιν ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.

And Esau said, 'Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.' But he said, 'Why this? It is enough that I have found favor in your sight, my lord.'

ἀπέστρεψεν δὲ Ησαυ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς Σηιρ.

And Esau turned back on that day on his own way to Seir.

Ιακωβ δὲ ἀπάρας ἦλθεν εἰς Σκηνάς. καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ αὐτῷ οἰκίας καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτοῦ ἐποίησεν σκηνάς· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Σκηναί.

But Jacob, breaking camp, came to Booths. And he built there houses for himself, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place Booths.

Καὶ ἦλθεν Ιακωβ εἰς Σαλημ πόλιν Σικιμων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χανααν, ἐλθόντι αὐτῷ ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας, καὶ παρενέβαλεν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς πόλεως.

And Jacob came to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, on his coming from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he encamped before the city.

καὶ ἐκτήσατο τὴν μερίδα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὗ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, παρὰ Εμμωρ πατρὸς Συχεμ ἑκατὸν ἀμνάδων.

And he purchased the portion of the field where he had pitched his tent, from Hamor the father of Shechem, for a hundred she-lambs.

καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν θεὸν Ισραηλ.

And he set up there an altar and called upon the God of Israel.
