Génesis, 33
1. Jacob levantó los ojos y al ver que venía Esaú con cuatrocientos hombres, repartió a los niños entre Lía y Raquel y las dos siervas.
1. And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.
2. Puso a las siervas y sus niños al frente; después a Lía y sus niños, y a Raquel y José en la zaga,
2. And he put the maids with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3. y él se les adelantó y se inclinó en tierra siete veces, hasta llegar donde su hermano.
3. He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4. Esaú, a su vez, corrió a su encuentro, le abrazó, se le echó al cuello, le besó y lloró.
4. But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5. Levantó luego los ojos, y al ver a las mujeres y a los niños, dijo: «¿Qué son de ti éstos?» - «Son los hijos que ha otorgado Dios a tu siervo.»
5. And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6. Entonces se acercaron las siervas con sus niños, y se inclinaron.
6. Then the maids drew near, they and their children, and bowed down;
7. Acercóse también Lía con sus niños, y se inclinaron. Y por último se acercaron José y Raquel y se inclinaron.
7. Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.
8. Dijo Esaú: «¿Qué pretendes con toda esta caravana que acabo de encontrar?» - «Es para hallar gracias a los ojos de mi señor.»
8. Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob answered, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9. Dijo Esaú: «Tengo bastante, hermano mío; sea para ti lo tuyo.»
9. But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
10. Replicó Jacob: «De ninguna manera. Si he hallado gracias a tus ojos, toma mi regalo de mi mano, ya que he visto tu rostro como quien ve el rostro de Dios, y me has mostrado simpatía.
10. Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand; for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, with such favor have you received me.
11. Acepta, pues, el obsequio que te he traído; pues Dios me ha favorecido y tengo de todo.» E instóle tanto que aceptó.
11. Accept, I pray you, my gift that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12. Dijo Esaú: «Vámonos de aquí, y yo te daré escolta.»
12. Then Esau said, "Let us journey on our way, and I will go before you."
13. El le dijo: «Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que tengo conmigo ovejas y vacas criando; un día de ajetreo bastaría para que muriese todo el rebaño.
13. But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die.
14. Adelántese, pues, mi señor a su siervo, que yo avanzaré despacito, al paso del ganado que llevo delante, y al paso de los niños, hasta que llegue donde mi señor, a Seír.»
14. Let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle which are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se'ir."
15. Dijo Esaú: «Entonces voy a destacar contigo a parte de la gente que me acompaña.» - «¿Para qué tal? Con que halle yo gracia a los ojos de mi señor...»
15. So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the men who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."
16. Rehízo, pues, Esaú aquel mismo día su camino rumbo a Seír,
16. So Esau returned that day on his way to Se'ir.
17. y Jacob partió para Sukkot donde edificó para sí una casa y para su ganado hizo cabañas. Por donde se llamó aquel lugar Sukkot.
17. But Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his cattle; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18. Jacob llegó sin novedad a la ciudad de Siquem, que está en el territorio cananeo, viniendo de Paddán Aram, y acampó frente a la ciudad.
18. And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram; and he camped before the city.
19. Compró a los hijos de Jamor, padre de Siquem, por cien agnos la parcela de campo donde había desplegado su tienda,
19. And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money the piece of land on which he had pitched his tent.
20. erigió allí un altar, y lo llamó de «El», Dios de Israel.
20. There he erected an altar and called it El-El'ohe-Israel.
