Genesis 32
1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Un Jēkabs gāja savu ceļu, un Dieva eņģeļi to sastapa.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
Un šos redzēdams Jēkabs sacīja: tas ir Dieva karaspēks, - un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Mahānaīm.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Un Jēkabs sūtīja vēstnešus savā priekšā pie Ēsava, sava brāļa, uz Seīra zemi, uz Edoma tiesu,
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.
Un tiem pavēlēja un sacīja: tā jums būs sacīt manam kungam Ēsavam: tā saka tavs kalps Jēkabs: es esmu svešumā mitis pie Lābana un līdz šim tur palicis.
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.’”
Un man ir vērši un ēzeļi, avis un kalpi un kalpones, un es esmu sūtījis savam kungam vēstīt, lai es žēlastību tavās acīs atrodu.
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.”
Un tie vēstneši griezās atpakaļ pie Jēkaba un sacīja: mēs nācām pie tava brāļa Ēsava, un viņš tev arīdzan iet pretī, un četrsimt vīri līdz ar viņu.
7 In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
Tad Jēkabs bijās ļoti un viņam bija bail, un viņš šķīra divējos pulkos tos ļaudis, kas tam bija, un tās avis un tos vēršus un tos kamieļus,
8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
Un sacīja: ja Ēsavs uzbruks vienam pulkam un to apkaus, tad tas otrs pulks izmuks.
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,’
Un Jēkabs sacīja: tu mana tēva Ābrahāma Dievs, un mana tēva Īzaka Dievs, ak Kungs! Kas uz mani sacījis: griezies atpakaļ uz savu zemi un pie saviem radiem, un es tev gribu labu darīt,
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.
Es esmu mazs pret visām apžēlošanām un pret visu uzticību, ko tu savam kalpam esi darījis. Jo ar savu spieķi es pār šo Jardāni esmu pārgājis un nu es esmu palicis par diviem pulkiem.
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.
Izpestī mani lūdzams no mana brāļa rokas, no Ēsava rokas, jo es bīstos, ka tas nenāk un mani neapkauj, māti ar bērniem.
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.’”
Tu esi sacījis: Es nemitēšos tev labu darīt un vairošu tavu dzimumu kā jūras smiltis, ko nevar izskaitīt aiz liela pulka.
13 Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
Un viņš palika tur to nakti un ņēma no tā, kas tam pie rokas bija, dāvanu priekš Ēsava, sava brāļa:
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
Divsimt kazas un divdesmit āžus, divsimt avis un divdesmit aunus,
15 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
Trīsdesmit zīdošas kamieļu mātes ar viņu kumeļiem, četrdesmit govis un desmit vēršus, divdesmit ēzeļu mātes un desmit kumeļus,
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.”
Un deva tos savu kalpu rokā, ikkatru pulku atsevišķi, un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: ejat man papriekš un pametiet starpu starp pulku un pulku.
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?’
Un viņš pavēlēja tam pirmajam sacīdams: kad Ēsavs, mans brālis, tevi sastaps un tev vaicās un sacīs: kam tu piederi un uz kurieni tu ej, un kam pieder še, kas tavā priekša?
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.’”
Tad tev būs sacīt: tie pieder tavam kalpam Jēkabam; tas sūta savam kungam Ēsavam dāvanu, un redzi, viņš pats ir arīdzan mums pakaļ.
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.
Un viņš pavēlēja arī tam otram un tam trešajam un visiem, kas tos lopus dzina sacīdams: pēc šiem vārdiem jums būs sacīt uz Ēsavu, kad to sastapsiet.
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.”
Un jums būs arī sacīt: redzi, tavs kalps Jēkabs mums nāk pakaļ! Jo viņš domāja: es apmierināšu viņa vaigu ar šo dāvanu, kas man iet pa priekšu, un pēc es redzēšu viņa vaigu, kas zina, viņš mani pieņems.
21 So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
Tad nu tā dāvana aizgāja viņam pa priekšu, bet viņš pats palika to nakti pie sava pulka.
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.
Un viņš cēlās tanī naktī un ņēma savas divas sievas un savas divas kalpones un savus vienpadsmit bērnus, un gāja pie Jabokas brasla;
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
Un viņš tos ņēma un pārveda pār upi, un pārveda, kas tam bija; bet Jēkabs palika viens pats.
24 So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
Tad viens vīrs ar to cīnījās, līdz kamēr diena ausa.
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.
Un kad Tas redzēja, ka viņu nepārspēja, tad Tas aizskāra viņa ciskas locekli, tā ka Jēkaba ciskas loceklis cīkstoties izgriezās.
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.”
Un Tas sacīja: palaid Mani, jo gaisma jau aust; bet viņš atbildēja: es Tevi nepalaidīšu, ja Tu mani nesvēti.
27 “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Un Tas uz viņu sacīja: kas tev vārdā? Un viņš sacīja: Jēkabs.
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.”
Tad Tas sacīja: tavu vārdu nebūs vairs saukt Jēkabu, bet Israēli; jo tu esi cīnījies ar Dievu un ar cilvēkiem un esi pārspējis.
29 And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
Un Jēkabs vaicāja un sacīja: saki man jel Savu vārdu. Un Tas sacīja: kam tu jautā pēc Mana vārda? Un Tas viņu turpat svētīja.
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
Un Jēkabs nosauca tās vietas vārdu Pniēli: jo es esmu Dievu redzējis vaigu vaigā, un mana dvēsele ir izglābta.
31 The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
Un saule tam uzlēca gar Pniēli aizejot. Un viņš bija klibs ar savu cisku.
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.
Tāpēc Israēla bērni līdz šai dienai neēd no dzīslas pie ciskas locekļa, tāpēc ka Jēkabam tā dzīsla pie ciskas locekļa tapa maitāta.
