创世记 32
1 雅各仍旧行路， 神的使者遇见他。
And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
2 雅各看见他们就说：“这是 神的军兵”，于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念。
and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
3 雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫，
And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
4 吩咐他们说：“你们对我主以扫说：‘你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，直到如今。
and commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger until now;
5 我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在打发人来报告我主，为要在你眼前蒙恩。’”
and I have ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
6 所打发的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。”
And the messengers return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him”;
7 雅各就甚惧怕，而且愁烦，便把那与他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、骆驼分做两队，
and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 说：“以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。”
and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
9 雅各说：“耶和华—我祖亚伯拉罕的 神，我父亲以撒的 神啊，你曾对我说：‘回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。’
And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
10 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 have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手；因为我怕他来杀我，连妻子带儿女一同杀了。
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
12 你曾说：‘我必定厚待你，使你的后裔如同海边的沙，多得不可胜数。’”
and You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.”
13 当夜，雅各在那里住宿，就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫：
And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
14 母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，
female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
15 奶崽子的骆驼三十只—各带着崽子，母牛四十只，公牛十只，母驴二十匹，驴驹十匹；
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
16 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 gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between drove and drove.”
17 又吩咐尽先走的说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，问你说：‘你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前头这些是谁的？’
And he commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
18 你就说：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边。’”
Then you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [is] behind us.”
19 又吩咐第二、第三，和一切赶群畜的人说：“你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说；
And he commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding him,
20 并且你们要说：‘你仆人雅各在我们后边。’”因雅各心里说：“我借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 you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
21 于是礼物先过去了；那夜，雅各在队中住宿。
and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
22 他夜间起来，带着两个妻子，两个使女，并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口，
And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of Jabbok;
23 先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
24 只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。
And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
25 那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with Him;
26 那人说：“天黎明了，容我去吧！”雅各说：“你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。”
and He says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed me.”
27 那人说：“你名叫什么？”他说：“我名叫雅各。”
And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
28 那人说：“你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列；因为你与 神与人较力，都得了胜。”
And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
29 雅各问他说：“请将你的名告诉我。”那人说：“何必问我的名？”于是在那里给雅各祝福。
And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.
30 雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒，意思说：“我面对面见了 神，我的性命仍得保全。”
And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
31 日头刚出来的时候，雅各经过毗努伊勒，他的大腿就瘸了。
and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
32 故此，以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋，直到今日，因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。
therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
