Genesis 33
1 యాకోబు కన్నులెత్తి చూచినప్పుడు ఏశావును . అతనితో నాలుగువందలమంది మనుష్యులును వచ్చు చుండిరి.
2 అప్పుడతడు తన పిల్లలను లేయా రాహేలుల కును ఇద్దరు దాసీలకును పంచి అప్పగించెను. అతడు ముందర దాసీలను, వారి పిల్లలను వారి వెనుక లేయాను ఆమె పిల్లలను ఆ వెనుక రాహేలును ¸
3 తాను వారి ముందర వెళ్లుచు తన సహోదరుని సమీపించు వరకు ఏడుమార్లు నేలను సాగిలపడెను.
4 అప్పుడు ఏశావు అతనిని ఎదుర్కొన పరుగెత్తి అతనిని కౌగలించుకొని అతని మెడమీద పడి ముద్దుపెట్టుకొనెను; వారిద్దరు కన్నీరు విడిచిరి.
5 ఏశావు కన్నులెత్తి ఆ స్త్రీలను పిల్లలను చూచివీరు నీకేమి కావలెనని అడిగినందుకు అతడు వీరు దేవుడు నీ సేవకునికి దయచేసిన పిల్లలే అని చెప్పెను.
6 అప్పుడు ఆ దాసీలును వారి పిల్లలును దగ్గరకువచ్చి సాగిలపడిరి.
7 లేయాయు ఆమె పిల్లలును దగ్గరకువచ్చి సాగిలపడిరి. ఆ తరువాత యోసేపును రాహేలును దగ్గరకు వచ్చి సాగిల పడిరి.
8 ఏశావునాకు ఎదురుగావచ్చిన ఆ గుంపంతయు ఎందుకని అడుగగా అతడునా ప్రభువు కటాక్షము నా మీద వచ్చుటకే అని చెప్పెను.
9 అప్పుడు ఏశావుసహోదరుడా, నాకు కావలసినంత ఉన్నది, నీది నీవే ఉంచుకొమ్మని చెప్పెను.
10 అప్పుడు యాకోబు అట్లు కాదు; నీ కటాక్షము నామీద నున్నయెడల చిత్తగించి నాచేత ఈ కానుక పుచ్చుకొనుము, దేవుని ముఖము చూచినట్లు నీ ముఖము చూచితిని; నీ కటాక్షము నామీద వచ్చినది గద
11 నేను నీయొద్దకు తెచ్చిన కానుకను చిత్త గించి పుచ్చుకొనుము; దేవుడు నన్ను కనికరించెను; మరియు నాకు కావలసినంత ఉన్నదని చెప్పి అతని బల వంతము చేసెను గనుక అతడు దాని పుచ్చుకొని
12 మనము వెళ్లుదము; నేను నీకు ముందుగా సాగిపోవుదు నని చెప్పగా
13 అతడునాయొద్ద నున్న పిల్లలు పసిపిల్ల లనియు, గొఱ్ఱలు మేకలు పశువులు పాలిచ్చునవి అనియు నా ప్రభువుకు తెలియును. ఒక్కదినమే వాటిని వడిగా తోలినయెడల ఈ మంద అంతయు చచ్చును.
14 నా ప్రభువు దయచేసి తన దాసునికి ముందుగా వెళ్లవలెను. నేను నా ప్రభువునొద్దకు శేయీరునకు వచ్చువరకు, నా ముందర నున్న మందలు నడువగలిగిన కొలదిని ఈ పిల్లలు నడువగలిగినకొలదిని వాటిని మెల్లగా నడిపించుకొని వచ్చెద నని అతనితో చెప్పెను.
15 అప్పుడు ఏశావునీ కిష్టమైన యెడల నాయొద్దనున్న యీ జనులలో కొందరిని నీ యొద్ద విడిచిపెట్టుదునని చెప్పగా అతడు అదియేల? నా ప్రభువు కటాక్షము నామీద నుండనిమ్మనెను.
16 ఆ దినమున ఏశావు తన త్రోవను శేయీరునకు తిరిగిపోయెను.
17 అప్పుడు యాకోబు సుక్కోతుకు ప్రయాణమై పోయి తనకొకయిల్లు కట్టించుకొని తన పశువులకు పాకలు వేయించెను. అందుచేత ఆ చోటికి సుక్కోతు అను పేరు పెట్టబడెను.
18 అట్లు యాకోబు పద్దనరాములో నుండి వచ్చిన తరువాత కనాను దేశములోనున్న షెకెమను ఊరికి సురక్షితముగా వచ్చి ఆ ఊరిముందర తన గుడారములు వేసెను.
19 మరియు అతడు తన గుడారములు వేసిన పొలముయొక్క భాగమును షెకెము తండ్రియైన హమోరు కుమారులయొద్ద నూరు వరహాలకు కొని
20 అక్కడ ఒక బలిపీఠము కట్టించి దానికి ఏల్‌ ఎలోహేయి ఇశ్రాయేలు అను పేరు పెట్టెను.
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
