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.))
April 17 "The hand of the Lord hath wrought this."(Job 12:9.) SEVERAL years ago there was found in an African mine the most magnificent diamond in the world's history. It was presented to the King of England to blaze in his crown of state. The King sent it to Amsterdam to be cut. It was put into the hands of an expert lapidary. And what do you suppose he did with it? He took the gem of priceless value, and cut a notch in it. Then he struck it a hard blow with his instrument, and lo! the superb jewel lay in his hand cleft in twain. What recklessness! What wastefulness! what criminal carelessness! Not so. For days and weeks that blow had been studied and planned. Drawings and models had been made of the gem. Its quality, its defects, its lines of cleavage had all been studied with minutest care. The man to whom it was committed was one of the most skillful lapidaries in the world. Do you say that blow was a mistake? Nay. It was the climax of the lapidary's skill. When he struck that blow, he did the one thing which would bring that gem to its most perfect shapeliness, radiance, and jewelled splendor. that blow which seemed to ruin the superb precious stone was, in fact, its perfect redemption. For, from those two halves were wrought the two magnificent gems which the skilled eye of the lapidary saw hidden in the rough, uncut stone as it came from the mine. So, sometimes, God lets a stinging blow fall upon your life. The blood spurts. The nerves wince. The soul cries out in agony. The blow seems to you an apalling mistake. But it is not, for you are the most priceless jewel in the world to God. And He is the most skilled lapidary in the universe. Some day you are to blaze in the diadem of the King. As you lie in His hand now He knows just how to deal with you. Not a blow will be permitted to fall upon your shrinking soul but that the love of God permits it, and works out from its depths, blessing and spiritual enrichment unseen, and unthought of by you. ─J. H. McC. In one of George MacDonald's books occurs this fragment of conversation: "I wonder why God made me," said Mrs. Faber bitterly. "I'm sure I don't know what was the use of making me!" "Perhaps not much yet," said Dorothy, "but then He hasn't done with you yet. He is making you now, and you are quarreling with the process." If men would but believe that they are in process of creation, and consent to be made─let the Maker handle them as the potter the clay, yielding themselves in resplendent motion and submissive, hopeful action with the turning of His wheel─they would ere long find themselves able to welcome every pressure of that hand on them, even when it was felt in pain; and sometimes not only to believe but to recognize the Divine end in view, the bringing of a son unto glory. "Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit."
