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 15 "I trust in thy word." (Psa. 119:42.) JUST in proportion in which we believe that God will do just what He has said, is our faith strong or weak. Faith has nothing to do with feelings, or with impressions, with improbabilities, or with outward appearances. If we desire to couple them with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace. God delights to exercise faith, first for blessing in our own souls, then for blessing in the Church at large, and also for those without. But this exercise we shrink from instead of welcoming. When trials come, we should say: "My Heavenly Father puts this cup of trial into my hands, that I may have something sweet afterwards." Trials are the food of faith. Oh, let us leave ourselves in the hands of our Heavenly Father! It is the joy of His heart to do good to all His children. But trials and difficulties are not the only means by which faith is exercised and thereby increased. There is the reading of the Scriptures, that we may by them acquaint ourselves with God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Are you able to say, from the acquaintance you have made with God, that he is a lovely Being? If not, let me affectionately entreat you to ask God to bring you to this, that you may admire His gentleness and kindness, that you may be able to say how good He is, and what a delight it is to the heart of God to do good to His children. Now the nearer we come to this in our inmost souls, the more ready we are to leave ourselves in His hands, satisfied with all His dealings with us. And when trial comes, we shall say: "I will wait and see what good God will do to me by it, assured He will do it." This we shall bear an honorable testimony before the world, and thus we shall strengthen the hands of others. ─George Mueller.
