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 11 "What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light."(Matt. 10:27.) OUR Lord is constantly taking us into the dark, that He may tell us things. Into the dark of the shadowed home, where bereavement has drawn the blinds; into the dark of the lonely, desolate life, where some infirmity closes us in from the light and stir of life; into the dark of some crushing sorrow and disappointment. Then He tells us His secrets, great and wonderful, eternal and infinite; He causes the eye which has become dazzled by the glare of earth to behold the heavenly constellations; and the ear to detect the undertones of his voice, which is often drowned amid the tumult of earth's strident cries. But such revelations always imply a corresponding responsibility─"that speak ye in the light─that proclaim upon the housetops." We are not meant to always linger in the dark, or stay in the closet; presently we shall be summoned to take our place in the rush and storm of life; and when that moment comes, we are to speak and proclaim what we have learned. This gives a new meaning to suffering, the saddest element in which is often its apparent aimlessness. "How useless I am!" "What am I doing for the betterment of men?" "Wherefore this waste of the precious spikenard of my soul?" Such are the desperate laments of the sufferer. But God has a purpose in it all. He has withdrawn His child to the higher altitudes of fellowship, that he may hear God speaking face to face, and bear the message to his fellows at the mountain foot. Were the forty days wasted that Moses spent on the Mount, or the period spent at Horeb by Elijah, or the years spent in Arabia by Paul? There is no short cut to the life of faith, which is the allvital condition of a holy and victorious life. We must have periods of lonely meditation and fellowship with God. That our souls should have their mountains of fellowship, their valley of quiet rest beneath the shadow of a great rock, their nights beneath the stars, when darkness has veiled the material and silenced the stir of human like, and has opened the view of the infinite and eternal, is as indispensable as that our bodies should have food. Thus alone can the sense of God's presence become the fixed possession of the soul, enabling it to say repeatedly, with the Psalmist, "Thou art near, O God." ─F. B. Meyer.
