Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Jakov je putovao svojim putem, kad mu u susret izađu anđeli Božji.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Kad ih Jakov opazi, reče: “Ovo je Božje taborište!” Zato nazva ono mjesto Mahanajim.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Jakov pošalje pred sobom glasnike svome bratu Ezavu u zemlju Seir, u Edomsku pustaru,
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.
i naloži im: “Ovako ćete reći mome gospodaru Ezavu: 'Sluga tvoj Jakov poručuje ti: Boravio sam kod Labana i dosad se ondje zadržao.
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.
Stekao sam goveda, magaradi, ovaca, sluga i sluškinja. Javljam to svome gospodaru, ne bih li našao naklonost u njegovim očima.'”
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.
Glasnici se vrate Jakovu te mu reknu: “Bili smo kod tvoga brata Ezava; on sam dolazi ti u susret sa četiri stotine momaka.”
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.
Jakov se silno uplaši. U zabrinutosti rastavi na dva tabora ljude, stada, krda i deve što ih je sa sobom imao.
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
Računao je: ako Ezav naiđe na jedan tabor i napadne ga, drugi bi se tabor mogao spasiti.
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
Ondje provede onu noć; a onda, od onog što je imao pri ruci, pripravi dar svome bratu Ezavu:
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
dvjesta koza i dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca i dvadeset ovnova;
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
trideset deva dojilica s njihovim mladima; četrdeset krava i deset junaca; dvadeset magarica i deset magaraca.
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.
Stado po stado preda svojim slugama. Onda reče svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, ali držite razmak među stadima!”
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?
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 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.
odgovori: 'Tvoga sluge Jakova; ovo je dar koji šalje svome gospodaru Ezavu; on je tamo za nama.'”
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.
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 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.)
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 went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Tako darovi krenu naprijed, dok je on ostao one noći u taborištu.
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.
One noći on ustane, uzme svoje obje žene, obje svoje sluškinje i svoje jedanaestero djece te prijeđe Jabok preko gaza.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Prebacivši njih na drugu stranu toka, prebaci zatim i ostalo što bijaše njegovo.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Jakov ostane sam. I neki se čovjek rvao s njim dok nije zora svanula.
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.
Videći da ga ne može svladati, ugane mu bedro pri zglobu, tako da se Jakovu kuk iščašio dok su se rvali.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Potom reče: “Pusti me jer zora sviće!” Ali on odgovori: “Neću te pustiti dok me ne blagosloviš.”
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Nato ga onaj zapita: “Kako ti je ime?” Odgovori: “Jakov.”
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.
Onaj reče. “Više se nećeš zvati Jakov nego Izrael, jer si se hrabro borio i s Bogom i s ljudima i nadvladao si.”
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
Onda zapita Jakov: “Reci mi svoje ime!” Odgovori onaj: “Za moje me ime ne smiješ pitati!” I tu ga blagoslovi.
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.
Onom mjestu Jakov nadjene ime Penuel jer - reče - “Vidjeh Boga licem u lice, i na životu ostadoh.”
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Sunce je nad njim bilo ogranulo kad je prošao Penuel. Hramao je zbog kuka.
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.
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.
