雅各舉目觀看,見以掃來了,後頭跟著四百人,他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結,和兩個使女, 1 Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men; so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two maidservants.
並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭,利亞和她的孩子在後頭,拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。 2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph in the rear.
以掃舉目看見婦人孩子,就說:「這些和你同行的是誰呢?」雅各說:「這些孩子是神施恩給你的僕人的。」 5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. 「Who are these with you?」 he asked. Jacob answered, 「They are the children God has graciously given your servant.」
雅各說:「不然,我若在你眼前蒙恩,就求你從我手裏收下這禮物;因為我見了你的面,如同見了神的面,並且你容納了我。 10 「No, please!」 said Jacob. 「If I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably.
求你收下我帶來給你的禮物;因為神恩待我,使我充足。」雅各再三地求他,他才收下了。 11 Please accept the present that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.」 And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it.
雅各對他說:「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩,牛羊也正在乳養的時候,若是催趕一天,群畜都必死了。 13 But Jacob said to him, 「My lord knows that the children are tender and that I must care for the ewes and cows that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard just one day, all the animals will die.
求我主在僕人前頭走,我要量著在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行,直走到西珥我主那裏。」 14 So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the droves before me and that of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.」
以掃說:「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裏。」雅各說:「何必呢?只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」 15 Esau said, 「Then let me leave some of my men with you.」 「But why do that?」 Jacob asked. 「Just let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.」
雅各就往疏割去,在那裏為自己蓋造房屋,又為牲畜搭棚;因此那地方名叫疏割〔就是棚的意思〕。 17 Jacob, however, went to Succoth, where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Succoth. 33:17 ((Succoth)) means ((shelters.))
雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來的時候,平平安安地到了迦南地的示劍城,在城東支搭帳棚, 18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, 33:18 That is, Northwest Mesopotamia he arrived safely at the 33:18 Or ((arrived at Shalem, a)) city of Shechem in Canaan and camped within sight of the city.
就用一百塊銀子向示劍的父親、哈抹的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地, 19 For a hundred pieces of silver, 33:19 Hebrew ((hundred kesitahs)); a kesitah was a unit of money of unknown weight and value. he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent.
在那裏築了一座壇,起名叫伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列〔就是神、以色列神的意思〕。 20 There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel. 33:20 ((El Elohe Israel)) can mean ((God, the God of Israel)) or ((mighty is the God of Israel.))
November 11 "He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass." (Psalm 72:6) AMOS speaks of the king's mowings. Our King has many scythes, and is perpetually mowing His lawns. The musical tinkle of the whetstone on the scythe portends the cutting down of myriads of green blades, daisies and other flowers. Beautiful as they were in the morning, within an hour or two they lie in long, faded rows. Thus in human life we make a brave show, before the scythe of pain, the shears of disappointment, the sickle of death. There is no method of obtaining a velvety lawn but by repeated mowings; and there is no way of developing tenderness, evenness, sympathy, but by the passing of God's scythes. How constantly the Word of God compares man to grass, and His glory to its flower! But when grass is mown, and all the tender shoots are bleeding, and desolation reigns where flowers were bursting, it is the most acceptable time for showers of rain falling soft and warm. O soul, thou hast been mown! Time after time the King has come to thee with His sharp scythe. Do not dread the scythe-it is sure to be followed by the shower. -F. B. Meyer. "When across the heart deep waves of sorrow Break, as on a dry and barren shore; When hope glistens with no bright tomorrow, And the storm seems sweeping evermore; "When the cup of every earthly gladness Bears no taste of the life-giving stream; And high hopes, as though to mock our sadness,, Fade and die as in some fitful dream, "Who shall hush the weary spirit's chiding? Who the aching void within shall fill? Who shall whisper of a peace abiding, And each surging billow calmly still? "Only He whose wounded heart was broken With the bitter cross and thorny crown; Whose dear love glad words of joy had spoken, Who His life for us laid meekly down. "Blessed Healer, all our burdens lighten; Give us peace, Thine own sweet peace, we pray! Keep us near Thee till the morn shall brighten, And all the mists and shadows flee away!"
