Kniha Genezis

1 (CPDV) Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau arriving, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the sons of Leah and Rachel, and of both the handmaids.
1 (ROH) A Jakob pozdvihol svoje oči a videl, že hľa, Ezav ide a s ním štyristo mužov, a rozdelil deti na Leu, na Rácheľ a na obe dievky.

2 (CPDV) And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
2 (ROH) A dievky a ich synov postavil napredok a Leu a jej deti za nimi a Rácheľ a Jozefa naposledy.

3 (CPDV) And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
3 (ROH) A sám išiel pred nimi a poklonil sa k zemi sedemkrát, až sa priblížil svojmu bratovi.

4 (CPDV) And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
4 (ROH) A Ezav mu bežal oproti a objal ho a padnúc mu okolo krku bozkával ho, a plakali obaja.

5 (CPDV) And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: “What do these want for themselves?” and “Are they related to you?” He responded, “These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant.”
5 (ROH) A keď pozdvihol svoje oči a videl ženy a deti, pýtal sa: Kto sú ti títo? A on odpovedal: To sú deti, ktoré dal Bôh z milosti tvojmu služobníkovi.

6 (CPDV) Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
6 (ROH) A tak sa priblížily dievky aj ich synovia a poklonili sa.

7 (CPDV) Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
7 (ROH) A prišla i Lea i jej deti, a tiež sa poklonily, a potom prišiel Jozef a Rácheľ, a poklonili sa.

8 (CPDV) And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
8 (ROH) A Ezav povedal: Načo ti celý ten tábor, ktorý som stretol? A povedal: Aby som našiel milosť v očiach svojho pána.

9 (CPDV) But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
9 (ROH) A Ezav povedal: Mám mnoho, môj bratu, len nech bude tebe, čo je tvoje.

10 (CPDV) And Jacob said: “I beg you, let it not be so. But if I have found favor in your eyes, receive a small present from my hands. For I have looked upon your face as I would look upon the countenance of God. Be gracious to me,
10 (ROH) A Jakob povedal: Nie, prosím, ale ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, vezmeš môj dar z mojej ruky, lebo preto som videl tvoju tvár, ako by som bol videl tvár Božiu, a láskavo si ma prijal.

11 (CPDV) and take the blessing which I have brought to you, and which God, who bestows all things, has given as a gift to me.” Accepting it reluctantly, at the insistence of his brother,
11 (ROH) Prijmi, prosím, moje požehnanie, ktoré ti je donesené, pretože mi to dal Bôh z milosti, a pretože mám hojnosť všetkého. A keď ho len nútil, vzal.

12 (CPDV) he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
12 (ROH) A Ezav povedal: Rušajme sa a poďme, a ja pojdem pred tebou.

13 (CPDV) And Jacob said: “My lord, you know that I have with me tender little ones, and sheep, and cows with young. If I cause these to labor too much in walking, all the flocks will die in one day.
13 (ROH) Ale on mu povedal: Môj pán vie, že deti sú útle, a že mám so sebou brezé ovce a telné kravy, a keď ich príliš poženú čo len jeden deň, pomrie mi celé stádo.

14 (CPDV) May it please my lord to go before his servant. And I will follow gradually in his steps, as much as I see my little ones to be able, until I arrive to my lord in Seir.”
14 (ROH) Nech len, prosím, ide môj pán pred svojím služobníkom, a ja poženiem pozvoľna, podľa toho, jako bude môcť ísť stádo, ktoré je predo mnou, a podľa toho, jako budú stačiť deti, až i prijdem k svojmu pánovi do Seira.

15 (CPDV) Esau responded, “I beg you, that at least some of the people who are with me may remain to accompany you on the way.” But he said, “There is no need. I have need of one thing only: to find favor in your sight, my lord.”
15 (ROH) A Ezav povedal: Dovoľ tedy, aby som postavil s tebou niekoľkých z ľudu, ktorý je so mnou. A on povedal: Načo to? Len nech najdem milosť v očiach svojho pána.

16 (CPDV) And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
16 (ROH) A tak sa vrátil Ezav toho dňa na svoju cestu do Seira.

17 (CPDV) And Jacob went to Succoth, where, having built a house and pitched tents, he called the name of that place Succoth, that is, ‘Tents.’
17 (ROH) A Jakob sa poberal do Sukkóta a vystavil si tam dom a svojmu stádu spravil obory; preto nazval meno toho miesta Sukkót .

18 (CPDV) And he crossed over to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria. And he lived near the town.
18 (ROH) A tak prišiel Jakob bez nehody a v pokoji k mestu Sichemu, ktoré je v zemi Kanaána, keď bol prišiel z Pádan-arama, a táboril pred mestom.

19 (CPDV) And he bought the part of the field in which he had pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred lambs.
19 (ROH) A kúpil diel poľa, na ktorom bol roztiahol svoj stán, z ruky synov Chamora, otca Sichemovho, za sto kesít.

20 (CPDV) And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
20 (ROH) A postavil tam oltár, ktorý nazval El-elohe-jisrael .
