Genesis 32
1 And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
2 And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
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 Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
4 And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
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 And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
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 When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
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 Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
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 And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
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 Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
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 I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
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 Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
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 And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
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 Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
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 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
15 Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
16 These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
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 And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
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 Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
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 And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
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 And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
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 So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
22 And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
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 He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
24 Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
25 But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
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 And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
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 Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
28 And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
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 Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
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 And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
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 And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
32 For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
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.
