創世記 32
1 雅各伯也上道前行，遇見了天主的使者。
And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
2 雅各伯一見他們就說：「這是天主的營地。」遂給那地方起名叫瑪哈納因。
And he said Jacob just when he saw them [is] [the] camp of God this and he called [the] name of the place that Mahanaim.
3 雅各伯先派使者，往厄東鄉間色依爾地方，他哥哥厄撒烏那裏去，
And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
4 吩咐他們說：「你們應對我主厄撒烏這樣說：你的僕人雅各伯這樣說：我在拉班那裏作客，一直到現在。
And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
5 我擁有牛、驢、羊和僕婢，現在打發人報告我主，希望得你的恩愛。」
And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in view your.
6 使主回來見雅各伯說：「我們到了你哥哥厄撒烏那裏，他正前來迎接你；同他來的尚有四百人。」
And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
7 雅各伯大為震驚，很是憂慮，遂將自己的人和羊群牛群及駱駝分作兩隊，
And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
8 心想如果厄撒烏前來攻擊一隊，剩下的另一隊還可逃跑。
And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
9 然後雅各伯祈求說：「我父亞巴郎的天主，我父依撒格的天主、上主! 你曾對我說：回到你本鄉，你本家去，我必使你順利。
And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
10 我本不配獲得你向你僕人所施的種種慈恩和忠信，我只帶了一條棍杖過了這約但河，現在我卻擁有兩隊人馬。
I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
11 求你救我脫離我哥哥厄撒烏的手，因為我怕他來擊殺我，擊殺母親和孩子。
Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
12 你原來說過：我必要恩待你，使你的後代如海沙，多得不可勝數。」
And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
13 那夜雅各伯就在那裏過夜。然後，就由他所有的財物中選出一些來，送給他哥哥厄撒烏作禮物：
And he stayed [the] night there in the night that and he took some of which came in hand his a gift for Esau brother his.
14 計有母山羊二百隻，公山羊二十隻，母綿羊二百隻，公綿羊二十隻，
Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
15 哺乳的母駱駝同駝駒三十頭，母牛四十頭，公牛十頭，母驢二十匹，公驢十匹。
Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
16 他將這些分成一隊一隊的交給自己的僕人，對他們說：「你們應走在我前面，每隊之間應隔開些。」
And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
17 然後吩咐第一隊說：「幾時我哥哥厄撒烏遇見你，問你說：你是誰家的﹖你往那裏去﹖你前面這些牲畜是誰的﹖
And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
18 你要答說：是你僕人雅各伯的，是送給我主厄撒烏的禮物。看，他自己就在我們後面。」
And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
19 他也吩咐了第二第三隊，和跟在每隊後面的人說：「你們若遇見厄撒烏，都要照這話回答他。
And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
20 並且還要說：看，你的僕人雅各伯就在我們後面。」因為他心裏想：如果我先送禮向他討好，然後才與他見面，也許他會歡迎我。」
And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
21 於是禮物先他而行，他自己當夜仍留在營內。
And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
22 他當夜起來，帶了他的兩個妻子，兩個婢女和十一個孩子，由淺處過了雅波克河。
And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one [plus] ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
23 等他們過了河，也叫自己所有的過了河，
And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
24 雅各伯獨自一人留在後面。有一人前來與他搏鬥一直到曙光破曉。
And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
25 那人見自己不能制勝，就在他的大腿窩上打了一下；雅各伯正在與他搏鬥之際，大腿窩脫了節。
And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
26 那人說：「讓我走罷! 天已破曉。」雅各伯說：「你如果不祝福我，我不讓你走。」
And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
27 那人問他說：「你叫什麼名字﹖」他答說：「雅各伯。」
And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
28 那人說：「你的名字以後不再叫雅各伯，應叫以色列，因為你與神與人搏鬥，佔了優勢。」
And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
29 雅各伯問說：「請你告訴我你的名字。」那人答說：「為什麼你要問我的名字﹖」遂在那裏祝福了他。
And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
30 雅各伯給那地方起名叫「培尼耳，」意謂「我面對面見了神，我的生命仍得保全。」
And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
31 雅各伯經過培尼耳時，太陽已升起照在身上，由於大腿脫了節，他一走一瘸。
And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
32 為此，以色列子民至今不吃大腿窩上的筋，因為那人打了雅各伯的大腿窩，正打在筋上。
There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
