Genesis 32
1 And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
E foi tambem Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-o os anjos de Deus.
2 And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exercito de Deus. E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Mahanaim.
3 Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, á terra de Seir, territorio de 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:
E ordenou-lhes, dizendo: Assim direis a meu senhor Esaú: Assim diz Jacob, teu servo: Como peregrino morei com Labão, e me detive lá até agora;
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.
E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o annunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
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.
E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e tambem elle vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com elle.
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;
Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com elle estava, e as ovelhas, e as vaccas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
8 And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
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:
Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pae Abrahão, e Deus de meu pae Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te á tua terra, e á tua parentela, e far-te-hei bem;
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.
Menor sou eu que todas as beneficencias, e que toda a fidelidade que fizeste ao teu servo; porque com meu cajado passei este Jordão, e agora me tornei em dois bandos;
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.
Livra-me, peço-te, da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú: porque o temo, que porventura não venha, e me fira, e a mãe com os filhos
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.
E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua semente como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
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,
E passou ali aquella noite; e tomou do que lhe veiu á sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
15 Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vaccas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
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.
E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho á parte, e disse a seus servos: Passae adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
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?
E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vaes, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
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.
Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que elle mesmo vem tambem atraz de nós
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;
E ordenou tambem ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atraz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, fallareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
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.
E direis tambem: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atraz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vae diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura acceitará a minha face.
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.
Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; elle porém passou aquella noite no arraial.
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.
E levantou-se aquella mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o váo de Jabbok.
23 He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
E tomou-os, e fel-os passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
24 Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
Jacob porém ficou só; e luctou com elle um varão, até que a alva subia.
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.
E vendo que não prevalecia contra elle, tocou a juntura de sua côxa, e se deslocou a juntura da côxa de Jacob, luctando com elle.
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.
E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém elle disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
27 Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: 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.
Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como principe luctaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
29 Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
E Jacob lhe perguntou, e disse: Dá-me, peço-te, a saber o teu nome. E disse: Porque perguntas pelo meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
30 And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
E chamou Jacob o nome d'aquelle logar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
31 And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua côxa.
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.
Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da côxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da côxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
