Genesis 32
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
Jakov je putovao svojim putem, kad mu u susret izađu anđeli Božji.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
Kad ih Jakov opazi, reče: “Ovo je Božje taborište!” Zato nazva ono mjesto Mahanajim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
Jakov pošalje pred sobom glasnike svome bratu Ezavu u zemlju Seir, u Edomsku pustaru,
4 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
i naloži im: “Ovako ćete reći mome gospodaru Ezavu: 'Sluga tvoj Jakov poručuje ti: Boravio sam kod Labana i dosad se ondje zadržao.
5 And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
Stekao sam goveda, magaradi, ovaca, sluga i sluškinja. Javljam to svome gospodaru, ne bih li našao naklonost u njegovim očima.'”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Glasnici se vrate Jakovu te mu reknu: “Bili smo kod tvoga brata Ezava; on sam dolazi ti u susret sa četiri stotine momaka.”
7 And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
Jakov se silno uplaši. U zabrinutosti rastavi na dva tabora ljude, stada, krda i deve što ih je sa sobom imao.
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
Računao je: ako Ezav naiđe na jedan tabor i napadne ga, drugi bi se tabor mogao spasiti.
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
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!'
10 Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
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.
11 Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
Izbavi me od šaka moga brata, od šaka Ezavovih! Inače se bojim da bi mogao doći i umlatiti i mene, i majke, i djecu.
12 But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
Ti si rekao: 'Obilnim ću te dobrima obasipati i tvoje potomstvo umnožiti poput pijeska u moru koji se ne da prebrojiti zbog množine.'”
13 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
Ondje provede onu noć; a onda, od onog što je imao pri ruci, pripravi dar svome bratu Ezavu:
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
dvjesta koza i dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca i dvadeset ovnova;
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
trideset deva dojilica s njihovim mladima; četrdeset krava i deset junaca; dvadeset magarica i deset magaraca.
16 And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Stado po stado preda svojim slugama. Onda reče svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, ali držite razmak među stadima!”
17 And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
A prvom izda naredbu rekavši: “Kad te sretne moj brat Ezav pa te upita: 'Čiji si ti? Kamo ideš? Čije je ovo pred tobom?'
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
odgovori: 'Tvoga sluge Jakova; ovo je dar koji šalje svome gospodaru Ezavu; on je tamo za nama.'”
19 And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
Tako je naredio i drugome, pa trećemu i svima drugima koji su išli za stadima: “Ovo i ovako reci Ezavu kad ga sretneš.
20 and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
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.”
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Tako darovi krenu naprijed, dok je on ostao one noći u taborištu.
22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
One noći on ustane, uzme svoje obje žene, obje svoje sluškinje i svoje jedanaestero djece te prijeđe Jabok preko gaza.
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
Prebacivši njih na drugu stranu toka, prebaci zatim i ostalo što bijaše njegovo.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Jakov ostane sam. I neki se čovjek rvao s njim dok nije zora svanula.
25 And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
Videći da ga ne može svladati, ugane mu bedro pri zglobu, tako da se Jakovu kuk iščašio dok su se rvali.
26 And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
Potom reče: “Pusti me jer zora sviće!” Ali on odgovori: “Neću te pustiti dok me ne blagosloviš.”
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
Nato ga onaj zapita: “Kako ti je ime?” Odgovori: “Jakov.”
28 And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
Onaj reče. “Više se nećeš zvati Jakov nego Izrael, jer si se hrabro borio i s Bogom i s ljudima i nadvladao si.”
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
Onda zapita Jakov: “Reci mi svoje ime!” Odgovori onaj: “Za moje me ime ne smiješ pitati!” I tu ga blagoslovi.
30 And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
Onom mjestu Jakov nadjene ime Penuel jer - reče - “Vidjeh Boga licem u lice, i na životu ostadoh.”
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
Sunce je nad njim bilo ogranulo kad je prošao Penuel. Hramao je zbog kuka.
32 Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
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.
