且曰、爾僕雅各在後、蓋雅各自謂、必以前行之禮物、釋兄之憾、然後覿面、庶幾接我、

必曰、爾僕雅各在後將至。蓋雅各自謂必以前行之禮物、使兄復和、然後覿面、庶幾接我。

And be sure to say,‘ Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’” For he thought,“ I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”

Make sure you say,‘ Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ ” Jacob was thinking,“ I’ll make peace with him with these gifts I’m sending on ahead. When I see him later, maybe he’ll welcome me.”

and you shall say,‘ Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.’” For he thought,“ I may appease him with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”

And be sure to say,‘ Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob thought,“ I will try to appease him by sending gifts ahead of me. When I see him in person, perhaps he will be friendly to me.”

You are also to say,‘ Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought,“ I want to appease Esau with the gift that is going ahead of me. After that, I can face him, and perhaps he will forgive me.”

and you shall say,‘ Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.’ ” For he said,“ I will appease him with the gift that goes ahead of me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”

and also say,‘ Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us.’” For he said,“ I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”

and ye shall say, 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 me.

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.

You must also say,‘ In fact your servant Jacob is behind us.’” Jacob thought,“ I will first appease him by sending a gift ahead of me. After that I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me.”

You shall say,‘ Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said,“ I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”

現在你們要取七隻公牛、七隻公綿羊、到我僕人約伯那裏，為你們自己獻上燔祭；我僕人約伯就要為你們祈禱；因為我不按你們的冥頑不靈來辦你們，是看他的情面的；因為你們議論到我、不如我僕人約伯說的正確。』於是提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法就去，照永恆主所吩咐他們的去行；永恆主就看了約伯的情面。

暗中送的禮物能平息怒氣；懷裏搋的賄賂能抑止烈怒。

任何贖價他都不顧；就使你加多禮物，他也不肯干休。

所以要製造你們的鼠疫疱的像、和那毁壞你們的地的老鼠的像；並要將榮耀歸與以色列的上帝，或者他的手會向你們跟你們的神和土地放輕些。

能用柔和矯正對抗的人。或者上帝給他們悔改的心，得以認識真理；

或者上帝改變初衷，回心轉意、不發烈怒，使我們不至於滅亡，也未可知。』

愛發烈怒的人能惹起紛爭；不輕易發怒的、會平息吵鬧。

王的烈怒乃死亡之使者；但智慧人能平息王怒。

他們的父親以色列就對他們說：『既然如此，那你們就這樣作吧。拿此地人人稱讚的物產，收在器具裏，帶下去給那人做禮物：一點乳香、一點葡萄蜜、香料、沒藥、榧子，杏仁。

如今你要明白、要看清楚你該作甚麼，因為禍患一定臨到我主人和他全家：他是個粗暴漢，沒有人敢和他說話的。』亞比該急忙將二百個餅、兩皮袋酒、五隻收拾好了的羊、五斗焙好了的穀子、一百團葡萄乾、二百球無花果乾、都馱在驢上；對僮僕說：『你們在我前頭走，我隨着你們去』；卻沒有告訴丈夫拿八。亞比該騎着驢，正在人看不到的地方下着山坡，忽見大衛和跟隨的人正從她對面下來呢！她就突然遇見他們了。先是大衛曾說：『我在曠野看守這傢伙一切所有的，使他一切東西一樣也不遺失，實在是徒勞了：他向我以惡報善呀。凡屬拿八所有的男丁、我若剩下一個到明早、而不殺死，願上帝這樣懲罰大衛，並且加倍地懲罰。』亞比該一見大衛，便急忙下驢，在大衛面前臉伏於地而叩拜。她俯伏在大衛腳前，說：『我主啊，願這罪罰歸我；請容使女向你進言；更請聽聽使女所說的話。我主請不要把這個粗魯人拿八放在心上；因為他的名字怎樣；他的為人也怎樣；他名叫拿八，他的為人也忘八；但是我、你的使女呢、並沒有看見我主所打發的僮僕啊。我主啊，永恆主既阻止了你犯到流人血的罪，阻止了你親手為自己復仇，如今我指着永活的永恆主、也指着與你活着的性命、來起誓：如今我願你的仇敵和謀害你的人、都像拿八一樣。如今請將婢女給我主帶來的祝福禮賜給跟着我主往來的僮僕們。請饒恕使女的過犯；永恆主必定為我主建立一個堅固的王朝，因為我主打的乃是永恆主的仗；並且在你平生的日子也找不着有甚麼壞事。雖有人起來追逼你、尋索你性命，我主的性命卻在永恆主你的上帝那裏包在活人的寶貝包裏；惟獨你仇敵的性命、永恆主卻要甩去，像在機弦窩中甩出去一樣。我主現在若不無緣無故殺人流血、親手復仇，將來永恆主照他一切所說到我主的福、而施於我主，委任你做人君來管理以色列，那時我主就不至於搖蕩不安，心有內疚了。永恆主使我主得了福以後，求你懷念着使女。』

他的臣僕對他說：『看哪，我們聽說以色列家的王都是仁慈的王；讓我們腰束麻布，頭套繩索，出去投降以色列王吧；或者他會使你的性命存活着。』
