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.))
August 6 "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south, blow upon my garden, that the spice thereof may flow out!"(Song of Solomon 4:16.) Look at the meaning of this prayer a moment. Its root is found in the fact that, as delicious odors may lie latent in a spice tree, so graces may lie unexercised and undeveloped in a Christian's heart. There is many a plant of profession: but from the ground there breathes forth no fragrance of holy affections or of godly deeds. The same winds blow on the thistle bush and on the spice tree, but it is only one of them which given out rich odors. Sometimes God sends severe blasts of trial upon His children to develop their graces. Just as torches burn most brightly when swung to and fro; just as the juniper plant smells sweetest when flung into the flames; so the richest qualities of a Christian often come out under the north wind of suffering and adversity. Bruised hearts often emit the fragrance that God loveth to smell. "I had a tiny box, a precious box Of human love-my spikenard of great price; I kept it close within my heart of hearts, And scarce would lift the lid lest it should waste Its perfume on the air. One day a strange Deep sorrow came with crushing weight, and fell Upon my costly treasure, sweet and rare, And broke the box to atoms. All my heart Rose in dismay and sorrow at this waste, But as I mourned, behold a miracle Of grace Divine. My human love was changed To Heaven's own, and poured in healing streams On other broken hearts, while soft and clear A voice a above me whispered, "Child of Mine, With comfort wherewith thou art comforted, From this time forth, go comfort others, And thou shalt know blest fellowship with Me, Whose broken heart of love hath healed the world."
