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.
E foi também Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-no os anjos de Deus.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exército de Deus. E chamou o nome daquele lugar Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, à terra de Seir, território de Edom.
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.
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 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.
E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o anunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
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.
E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e também ele vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com ele.
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.
Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com ele estava, e as ovelhas, e as vacas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
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.
Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pai Abraão, e Deus de meu pai Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te à tua terra, e à tua parentela, e far-te-ei bem;
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.
Menor sou eu que todas as beneficências, 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 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.
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 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.
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 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
E passou ali aquela noite; e tomou do que lhe veio à sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vacas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
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.
E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho à parte, e disse a seus servos: passai adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
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?
E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vais, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que ele mesmo vem também atráz de nós
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;
E ordenou também ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atráz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, falareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
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.
E direis também: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atráz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vai diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura aceitará a minha face.
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; ele porém passou aquela noite no arraial.
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.
E levantou-se aquela mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o vau de Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
E tomou-os, e fê-los passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Jacob porém ficou só; e lutou com ele um varão, até que a alva subia.
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.
E vendo que não prevalecia contra ele, tocou a juntura de sua coxa, e se deslocou a juntura da coxa de Jacob, lutando com ele.
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.
E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém ele disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Jacob.
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.
Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como príncipe lutaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
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.
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 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.
E chamou Jacob o nome daquele lugar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua coxa.
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.
Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da coxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da coxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
