Postanak 32
1 Jakov je putovao svojim putem, kad mu u susret izađu anđeli Božji.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Kad ih Jakov opazi, reče: “Ovo je Božje taborište!” Zato nazva ono mjesto Mahanajim.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Jakov pošalje pred sobom glasnike svome bratu Ezavu u zemlju Seir, u Edomsku pustaru,
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
4 i naloži im: “Ovako ćete reći mome gospodaru Ezavu: 'Sluga tvoj Jakov poručuje ti: Boravio sam kod Labana i dosad se ondje zadržao.
He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 Stekao sam goveda, magaradi, ovaca, sluga i sluškinja. Javljam to svome gospodaru, ne bih li našao naklonost u njegovim očima.'”
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.'"
6 Glasnici se vrate Jakovu te mu reknu: “Bili smo kod tvoga brata Ezava; on sam dolazi ti u susret sa četiri stotine momaka.”
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him."
7 Jakov se silno uplaši. U zabrinutosti rastavi na dva tabora ljude, stada, krda i deve što ih je sa sobom imao.
Then Jacob was very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
8 Računao je: ako Ezav naiđe na jedan tabor i napadne ga, drugi bi se tabor mogao spasiti.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
9 Onda se Jakov pomoli: “O Bože oca moga Abrahama! Bože oca moga Izaka! O Jahve, koji si mi naredio: 'Vrati se u svoj rodni kraj, i ja ću ti biti dobrostiv!'
Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'
10 Nisam vrijedan sve dobrote koju si tako postojano iskazivao svome sluzi. TÓa samo sam sa svojim štapom nekoć prešao ovaj Jordan, a sad sam narastao u dva tabora.
I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 Izbavi me od šaka moga brata, od šaka Ezavovih! Inače se bojim da bi mogao doći i umlatiti i mene, i majke, i djecu.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
12 Ti si rekao: 'Obilnim ću te dobrima obasipati i tvoje potomstvo umnožiti poput pijeska u moru koji se ne da prebrojiti zbog množine.'”
You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
13 Ondje provede onu noć; a onda, od onog što je imao pri ruci, pripravi dar svome bratu Ezavu:
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 dvjesta koza i dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca i dvadeset ovnova;
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 trideset deva dojilica s njihovim mladima; četrdeset krava i deset junaca; dvadeset magarica i deset magaraca.
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 Stado po stado preda svojim slugama. Onda reče svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, ali držite razmak među stadima!”
He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
17 A prvom izda naredbu rekavši: “Kad te sretne moj brat Ezav pa te upita: 'Čiji si ti? Kamo ideš? Čije je ovo pred tobom?'
He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?'
18 odgovori: 'Tvoga sluge Jakova; ovo je dar koji šalje svome gospodaru Ezavu; on je tamo za nama.'”
Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is behind us.'"
19 Tako je naredio i drugome, pa trećemu i svima drugima koji su išli za stadima: “Ovo i ovako reci Ezavu kad ga sretneš.
He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 Još mu dodaj: 'A sluga tvoj Jakov i sam je za nama.'” Mislio je naime: “Ako ga unaprijed udobrostivim darovima, a onda se s njim suočim, možda će mi oprostiti.”
You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
21 Tako darovi krenu naprijed, dok je on ostao one noći u taborištu.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 One noći on ustane, uzme svoje obje žene, obje svoje sluškinje i svoje jedanaestero djece te prijeđe Jabok preko gaza.
He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Prebacivši njih na drugu stranu toka, prebaci zatim i ostalo što bijaše njegovo.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 Jakov ostane sam. I neki se čovjek rvao s njim dok nije zora svanula.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 Videći da ga ne može svladati, ugane mu bedro pri zglobu, tako da se Jakovu kuk iščašio dok su se rvali.
When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
26 Potom reče: “Pusti me jer zora sviće!” Ali on odgovori: “Neću te pustiti dok me ne blagosloviš.”
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
27 Nato ga onaj zapita: “Kako ti je ime?” Odgovori: “Jakov.”
And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
28 Onaj reče. “Više se nećeš zvati Jakov nego Izrael, jer si se hrabro borio i s Bogom i s ljudima i nadvladao si.”
Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed."
29 Onda zapita Jakov: “Reci mi svoje ime!” Odgovori onaj: “Za moje me ime ne smiješ pitati!” I tu ga blagoslovi.
Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
30 Onom mjestu Jakov nadjene ime Penuel jer - reče - “Vidjeh Boga licem u lice, i na životu ostadoh.”
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 Sunce je nad njim bilo ogranulo kad je prošao Penuel. Hramao je zbog kuka.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
32 Zato Izraelci do današnjeg dana ne jedu kukovnu tetivu što se nalazi na bedrenom zglobu, budući da je Jakovljev bedreni zglob bio iščašen u kukovnoj tetivi.
Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
