母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
迦得子孙和流便子孙回答说，耶和华怎样吩咐仆人，仆人就怎样行。
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
每样各分一群，交在仆人手下，就对仆人说，你们要在我前头过去，使群群相离，有空闲的地方。
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
雅各仍旧行路，神的使者遇见他。
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫，
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
说，以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
雅各说，耶和华我祖亚伯拉罕的神，我父亲以撒的神阿，你曾对我说，回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实，我一点也不配得。我先前只拿着我的杖过这约旦河，如今我却成了两队了。
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
并且你们要说，你仆人雅各在我们后边。因雅各心里说，我藉着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他容纳我。
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
于是礼物先过去了。那夜，雅各在队中住宿。
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
