Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
| وَلَمَّا مَضَى يَعْقُوبُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لاقَتْهُ مَلائِكَةُ اللهِ. | ١ |
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هَذَا جُنْدُ اللهِ». فَدَعَا اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمكَانِ مَحَنَايِمَ. (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمُعَسْكَرَانِ). | ٢ |
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
| وَبَعَثَ يَعْقُوبُ قُدَّامَهُ رُسُلاً إِلَى أَخِيهِ عِيسُو فِي أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلادِ أَدُومَ. | ٣ |
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
| وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: لَقَدْ تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لابَانَ وَمَكَثْتُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الآنَ، | ٤ |
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
| وَاقْتَنَيْتُ بَقَراً وَحَمِيراً وَغَنَماً وَعَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً وَأَرْسَلْتُ لأُعْلِمَ سَيِّدِي لَعَلَّنِي أَحْظَى بِرِضَاكَ». | ٥ |
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
| فَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى أَخِيكَ عِيسُو وَهَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ». | ٦ |
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
| فَاعْتَرَى يَعْقُوبَ خَوْفٌ وَكَرَبٌ عَظِيمَانِ وَقَسَّمَ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَالْغَنَمَ وَالْبَقَرَ وَالْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَمَاعَتَيْنِ. | ٧ |
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ صَادَفَ عِيسُو إِحْدَى الْجَمَاعَتَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَهَا، تَنْجُ الْجَمَاعَةُ الْبَاقِيَةُ». | ٨ |
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
| وَصَلَّى يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحاقَ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي قَالَ لِي: ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى قَوْمِكَ فَأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ. | ٩ |
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
| أَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ جَمِيعَ إِحْسَانَاتِكَ وَأَمَانَتَكَ الَّتيِ أَبْدَيْتَهَا نَحْوَ عَبْدِكَ، فَقَدْ عَبَرْتُ الأُرْدُنَّ وَلَيْسَ مَعِي سِوَى عَصَايَ، وَهَا أَنَا أَعُودُ وَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ جَيْشَيْنِ. | ١٠ |
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
| نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَخِي عِيسُو لأَنِّي خَائِفٌ أَنْ يَقْدِمَ عَلَيَّ فَيُهْلِكَنِي وَيُهْلِكَ مَعِي الأُمَّهَاتِ وَالْبَنِينَ. | ١١ |
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
| وَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ فَلا تُحْصَى لِكَثْرَتِهَا». | ١٢ |
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
| وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، وَانْتَقَى مِمَّا لَدَيْهِ هَدِيَّةً لأَخِيهِ عِيسُو. | ١٣ |
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
| فَكَانَتْ مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْساً وَمِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشاً، | ١٤ |
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
| وَثَلاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً مَعَ أَوْلادِهَا، وَأَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشَرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَتَاناً وَعَشَرَةَ حَمِيرٍ، | ١٥ |
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
| وَعَهِدَ بِها إِلَى أَيْدِي عَبِيدِهِ، كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُونِي، وَاجْعَلُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ مَسَافَةً». | ١٦ |
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
| وَأَوْصَى طَلِيعَتَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِذَا لَقِيتَ أَخِي عِيسُو وَسَأَلَكَ: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ الْقَطِيعِ الَّذِي أَمَامَكَ؟ | ١٧ |
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
| أَنَّكَ تُجِيبُ: هِيَ لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَدِيَّةٌ بَعَثَ بِها لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو. وَهَا هُوَ قَادِمٌ خَلْفَنَا». | ١٨ |
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
| وَأَوْصَى أَيْضاً بَقِيَّةَ السَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ الْقُطْعَانِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَأَضَافَ: | ١٩ |
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
| «تَقُولُونَ أَيْضاً: هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ قَادِمٌ وَرَاءَنَا». وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أَسْتَعْطِفُهُ بِالْهَدَايَا الَّتِي تَتَقَدَّمُنِي، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أُشَاهِدُ وَجْهَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَرْضَى عَنِّي». | ٢٠ |
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
| وَهَكَذَا تَقَدَّمَتْهُ هَدَايَاهُ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَضَى لَيْلَتَهُ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٢١ |
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَصَحِبَ مَعَهُ زَوْجَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلادَهُ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، وَعَبَرَ بِهِمْ مَخَاضَةَ يَبُّوقَ، | ٢٢ |
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
| وَلَمَّا أَجَازَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ عَبْرَ الْوَادِي، | ٢٣ |
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
| وَبَقِيَ وَحْدَهُ، صَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ. | ٢٤ |
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَغَلَّبْ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى حُقِّ فَخْذِهِ، فَانْخَلَعَ مَفْصِلُ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مُصَارَعَتِهِ مَعَهُ. | ٢٥ |
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، فَقَدْ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ». فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا أُطْلِقُكَ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي». | ٢٦ |
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
| فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «يَعْقُوبُ». | ٢٧ |
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
| فَقَالَ: «لا يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ، بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يُجَاهِدُ مَعَ اللهِ)، لأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ وَقَدَرْتَ». | ٢٨ |
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
| فَسَأَلَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ اسْمِي؟» وَبَارَكَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
| وَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ اسْمَ الْمَكَانِ فَنِيئِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَجْهُ اللهِ) إِذْ قَالَ: «لأَنِّي شَاهَدْتُ اللهَ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ وَبَقِيتُ حَيًّا». | ٣٠ |
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
| وَمَا إِنْ عَبَرَ فَنِيئِيلَ حَتَّى أَشْرَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَسَارَ وَهُوَ عَارِجٌ مِنْ فَخْذِهِ | ٣١ |
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
| لِذَلِكَ يَمْتَنِعُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَكْلِ عِرْقِ النَّسَا الَّذِي عَلَى حُقِّ الْفَخْذِ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى عِرْقِ النَّسَا. | ٣٢ |
