Genesis 32
1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
茲にヤコブその途に進みしが神の使者これにあふ
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
ヤコブこれを見て是は神の陣營なりといひてその處の名をマハナイム（二營）となづけたり
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
かくてヤコブ己より前に使者をつかはしてセイルの地エドムの野にをる其兄エサウの所にいたらしむ
4 He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
即ち之に命じて言ふ汝等かくわが主エサウにいふべし汝の僕ヤコブ斯いふ我ラバンの所に寄寓て今までとどまれり
5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
我牛驢馬羊僕婢あり人をつかはしてわが主に告ぐ汝の前に恩をえんことを願ふなりと
6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
使者ヤコブにかへりて言けるは我等汝の兄エサウの許に至れり彼四百人をしたがへて汝をむかへんとて來ると
7 In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
是によりヤコブ大におそれ且くるしみ己とともにある人衆および羊と牛と駱駝を二隊にわかちて
8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
言けるはエサウもし一の隊に來りて之をうたば遺れるところの一隊逃るべし
9 Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’
ヤコブまた言けるはわが父アブラハムの神わが父イサクの神ヱホバよ汝嘗て我につげて汝の國にかへり汝の親族に到れ我なんぢを善せんといひたまへり
10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
我はなんぢが僕にほどこしたまひし恩恵と眞實を一も受るにたらざるなり我わが杖のみを持てこのヨルダンを濟りしが今は二隊とも成にいたれり
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
願くはわが兄の手よりエサウの手より我をすくひいだしたまへ我彼をおそる恐くは彼きたりて我をうち母と子とに及ばん
12 But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
汝は嘗て我かならず汝を惠み汝の子孫を濱の沙の多して數ふべからざるが如くなさんといひたまへりと
13 Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
彼その夜彼處に宿りその手にいりし物の中より兄エサウへの禮物をえらべり
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
即ち牝山羊二百牡山羊二十牝羊二百牡羊二十
15 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
乳駱駝と其子三十牝牛四十牡牛十牝の驢馬二十驢馬の子十
16 He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
而して其群と群とをわかちて之を僕の手に授し僕にいひけるは吾に先ちて進み群と群との間を隔ておくべし
17 He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
又その前者に命じて言けるはわが兄エサウ汝にあひ汝に問て汝は誰の人にして何處にゆくや是汝のまへなる者は誰の所有なるやといはば
18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
汝の僕ヤコブの所有にしてわが主エサウにたてまつる禮物なり視よ彼もわれらの後にをるといふべしと
19 He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
彼かく第二の者第三の者および凡て群々にしたがひゆく者に命じていふ汝等エサウにあふ時はかくの如く之にいふべし
20 You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
且汝等いへ視よなんぢの僕ヤコブわれらの後にをるとヤコブおもへらく我わが前におくる禮物をもて彼を和めて然るのち其面を觀ん然ば彼われを接遇ることあらんと
21 So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
是によりて禮物かれに先ちて行く彼は其夜陣營の中に宿りしが
22 During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
其夜おきいでて二人の妻と二人の仕女および十一人の子を導きてヤボクの渡をわたれり
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
即ち彼等をみちびきて川を渉らしめ又その有る物を渡せり
24 So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
而してヤコブ一人遺りしが人ありて夜の明るまで之と角力す
25 When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
其人己のヤコブに勝ざるを見てヤコブの髀の樞骨に觸しかばヤコブの髀の樞骨其人と角力する時挫離たり
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
其人夜明んとすれば我をさらしめよといひければヤコブいふ汝われを祝せずばさらしめずと
27 “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
是に於て其人かれにいふ汝の名は何なるや彼いふヤコブなり
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
其人いひけるは汝の名は重てヤコブととなふべからずイスラエルととなふべし其は汝神と人とに力をあらそひて勝たればなりと
29 And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
ヤコブ問て請ふ汝の名を告よといひければ其人何故にわが名をとふやといひて乃ち其處にて之を祝せり
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
是を以てヤコブその處の名をベニエル（神の面）となづけて曰ふ我面と面をあはせて神とあひ見てわが生命なほ存るなりと
31 The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
斯て彼日のいづる時にベニエルを過たりしが其髀のために歩行はかどらざりき
32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
是故にイスラエルの子孫は今日にいたるまで髀の樞の巨筋を食はず是彼人がヤコブの髀の巨筋に觸たるによりてなり
