Genesis 32
1 Likewise, Jacob continued on the journey that he had begun. And the Angels of God met him.
А Јаков отиде својим путем; и сретоше га анђели Божији;
2 When he had seen them, he said, “These are the Encampments of God.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, ‘Encampments.’
А кад их угледа Јаков, рече: Ово је логор Божји. И прозва оно место Маханаим.
3 Then he also sent messengers before him to his brother Esau, in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
И Јаков посла пред собом гласнике к Исаву брату свом у земљу Сир, крајину едомску.
4 And he instructed them, saying: “You shall speak in this way to my lord Esau: ‘Your brother Jacob says these things: “I have sojourned with Laban, and I have been with him until the present day.
И заповеди им говорећи: Овако кажите господару мом Исаву: Слуга твој Јаков овако каже: Био сам дошљак код Лавана и бавио се до сад.
5 I have oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and men servants, and women servants. And now I send an ambassador to my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.”’”
А имам волова и магараца, оваца и слуга, и слушкиња, и послах да јавим теби господару свом, еда бих нашао милост пред тобом.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We went to your brother Esau, and behold, he rushes to meet you with four hundred men.”
И вратише се гласници к Јакову и рекоше му: Идосмо до брата твог Исава, и ето он ти иде на сусрет с четири стотине момака.
7 Jacob was very afraid. And in his terror, he divided the people who were with him, likewise the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
А Јаков се уплаши јако и забрину се; па раздели своје људе и овце и говеда и камиле у две чете.
8 saying: “If Esau goes to one company, and strikes it, the other company, which is left behind, will be saved.”
И рече: Ако Исав удари на једну чету и разбије је, да ако друга утече.
9 And Jacob said: “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me: ‘Return to your land, and to the place of your nativity, and I will do well for you.’
И рече Јаков: Боже оца мог Аврама и Боже оца мог Исака, Господе, који си ми казао: Врати се у земљу своју и у род свој, и ја ћу ти бити добротвор!
10 I am less than any of your compassions and your truth, which you have fulfilled to your servant. With my staff I crossed over this Jordan. And now I go back with two companies.
Нисам вредан толике милости и толике вере што си учинио слузи свом; јер само са штапом својим пређох преко Јордана, а сада сам господар од две чете.
11 Rescue me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am very afraid of him, lest perhaps he may come and strike down the mother with the sons.
Избави ме из руке брата мог, из руке Исавове, јер се бојим да не дође и убије мене и матер с децом.
12 You did say that you would do well by me, and that you would expand my offspring like the sand of the sea, which, because of its multitude, cannot be numbered.”
А Ти си казао: Заиста ја ћу ти бити добротвор, и учинићу семе твоје да буде као песка морског, који се не може избројати од множине.
13 And when he had slept there that night, he separated, from the things that he had, gifts for his brother Esau:
И заноћи онде ону ноћ, и узе шта му дође до руке, да пошаље на дар Исаву брату свом,
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Двеста коза с двадесет јараца, двеста оваца с двадесет овнова,
15 thirty milking camels with their young, forty cows, and twenty bulls, twenty she-donkeys, and ten of their young.
Тридесет камила дојилица с камиладима, четрдесет крава с десеторо телади, двадесет магарица с десеторо магаради.
16 And he sent them by the hands of his servants, each flock separately, and he said to his servants: “Pass before me, and let there be a space between flock and flock.”
И предаде их слугама својим, свако стадо напосе, и рече слугама: Идите напред преда мном, остављајући доста места између једног стада и другог.
17 And he instructed the first, saying: “If you happen to meet my brother Esau, and he questions you: “Whose are you?” or, “Where are you going?” or, “Whose are these which follow you?”
И заповеди првом говорећи: Кад сретнеш Исава, брата мог, па те запита: Чији си? И куда идеш? И чије је то што гониш пред собом?
18 you shall respond: “Your servant Jacob’s. He has sent them as a gift to my lord Esau. And he is also coming after us.”
А ти реци: Слуге твог Јакова, а ово шаље на дар господару свом Исаву, а ето и сам иде за нама.
19 Similarly, he gave orders to the second, and the third, and to all who followed the flocks, saying: “Speak these same words to Esau, when you find him.
Тако заповеди и другом и трећем и свима који иђаху за стадом, и рече: Тако кажите Исаву кад наиђете на њ.
20 And you will add: ‘Your servant Jacob himself also follows after us, for he said: “I will appease him with the gifts that go ahead, and after this, I will see him; perhaps he will be gracious to me.”’”
И још кажите: Ето, Јаков слуга твој иде за нама. Јер говораше: Ублажићу га даром који иде преда мном, па ћу му онда видети лице, да ако ме лепо прими.
21 And so the gifts went before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Тако отиде дар напред, а он преноћи ону ноћ код чете своје.
22 And when he had arisen early, he took his two wives, and the same number of handmaids, with his eleven sons, and he crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
И по ноћи уста, и узе обе жене и две робиње и једанаесторо деце своје; и преброди брод Јавок.
23 And having delivered over all the things that belonged to him,
А пошто њих узе и преведе преко потока, претури и остало што имаше.
24 he remained alone. And behold, a man wrestled with him until morning.
А кад оста Јаков сам, тада се један човек рваше с њим до зоре.
25 And when he saw that he would not be able to overcome him, he touched the nerve of his thigh, and immediately it withered.
И кад виде да га не може свладати, удари га по зглавку у стегну, те се Јакову ишчаши стегно из зглавка, кад се човек рваше с њим.
26 And he said to him, “Release me, for now the dawn ascends.” He responded, “I will not release you, unless you bless me.”
Па онда рече: Пусти ме, зора је. А Јаков му рече: Нећу те пустити докле ме не благословиш.
27 Therefore he said, “What is your name?” He answered, “Jacob.”
А човек му рече: Како ти је име. А он одговори: Јаков.
28 But he said, “Your name will not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if you have been strong against God, how much more will you prevail against men?”
Тада му рече: Одселе се нећеш звати Јаков, него Израиљ; јер си се јуначки борио и с Богом и с људима, и одолео си.
29 Jacob questioned him, “Tell me, by what name are you called?” He responded, “Why do you ask my name?” And he blessed him in the same place.
А Јаков запита и рече: Кажи ми како је теби име. А Он рече: Што питаш како ми је име? И благослови га онде.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.”
И Јаков надеде име оном месту Фануил; јер, вели, Бога видех лицем к лицу, и душа се моја избави.
31 And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he had crossed beyond Peniel. Yet in truth, he limped on his foot.
И сунце му се роди кад прође Фануил, и храмаше на стегно своје.
32 For this reason, the sons of Israel, even to the present day, do not eat the nerve that withered in Jacob’s thigh, because he touched the nerve of his thigh and it was obstructed.
Зато синови Израиљеви не једу крајеве од мишића на зглавку у стегну до данашњег дана, што се Јакову повредише крајеви од мишића на зглавку у стегну.
