< Genesis 32 >

1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Jakob pa je odšel na svojo pot in Božji angeli so ga srečali.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Ko jih je Jakob zagledal, je rekel: »To je Božja vojska« in ta kraj je imenoval Mahanájim.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Jakob je pred seboj poslal poslance k svojemu bratu Ezavu v deželo Seír, Edómovo deželo.
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.
Zapovedal jim je, rekoč: »Tako boste govorili mojemu gospodu Ezavu: ›Tvoj služabnik Jakob nam je rekel: ›Začasno sem bival z Labánom in tam ostal do sedaj.
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.
Imam vole, osle, trope, sluge in postrežnice. Poslal sem, da povem svojemu gospodu, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu.‹«
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.
Poslanci so se vrnili k Jakobu, rekoč: »Prišli smo k tvojemu bratu Ezavu in tudi on prihaja, da te sreča in z njim štiristo mož.«
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.
Potem je bil Jakob silno prestrašen in zaskrbljen. Razdelil je ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, trope, črede in kamele na dve četi
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
in rekel: »Če pride Ezav k eni skupini in jo udari, potem bo druga skupina, ki je ostala, pobegnila.«
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,
Jakob je rekel: »Oh, Bog mojega očeta Abrahama in Bog mojega očeta Izaka, Gospod, ki mi je rekel: ›Vrni se v svojo deželo in k svojemu sorodstvu in jaz bom dobro postopal s teboj, ‹
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.
sam nisem vreden najmanjše od teh milosti in od vse resnice, ki si jo izkazal svojemu služabniku, kajti s svojo palico sem prečkal ta Jordan, sedaj pa sem narastel v dve četi.
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.
Reši me, prosim te, iz roke mojega brata, iz Ezavove roke, kajti bojim se ga, da ne bi prišel in udaril mene in matere z otroki.
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.
In ti praviš: ›Zagotovo ti bom storil dobro in tvojega semena naredil kakor morskega peska, ki zaradi množice ne more biti preštet.‹«
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
To isto noč je tam prenočil in od tega, kar je prišlo v njegovo roko, je vzel darilo za svojega brata Ezava:
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
dvesto koz in dvajset kozlov, dvesto ovc in dvajset ovnov,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
trideset molznih kamel z njihovimi žrebeti, štirideset krav in deset bikov, dvajset oslic in deset žrebet.
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.
Izročil jih je v roko svojih služabnikov, vsako čredo posebej. Svojim služabnikom pa je rekel: »Prečkajte pred menoj in pustite prostor med čredo in čredo.«
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?
Predvsem pa je naročil, rekoč: »Ko te sreča moj brat Ezav in te vpraša, rekoč: ›Čigav si? In kam greš? In čigavi so ti pred teboj?‹
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.
Tedaj boš rekel: › To so od tvojega služabnika Jakoba. To je darilo, poslano k mojemu gospodu Ezavu in glej, tudi on je za nami.‹«
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.
In tako je ukazal drugemu in tretjemu in vsem, ki so sledili čredam, rekoč: »Na ta način boste govorili Ezavu, ko ga najdete.«
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.)
Poleg tega recite: »Glej, tvoj služabnik Jakob je za nami. Kajti rekel je: ›Pomiril ga bom z darilom, ki gre pred menoj in zatem bom videl njegov obraz. Mogoče me bo sprejel.‹«
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Tako je šlo darilo pred njim, sam pa je to noč prenočil v skupini.
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.
Vstal je to noč, vzel svoji dve ženi, svoji dve postrežnici, svojih enajst sinov in prečkal plitvino Jabók.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Vzel jih je in jih poslal preko potoka in poslal čez, kar je imel.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Jakob je ostal sam in z njim se je bojeval mož do dnevnega svita.
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.
Ko je videl, da zoper [Jakoba] ni prevladal, se je dotaknil vdrtine na njegovem stegnu. Vdrtina Jakobovega stegna je bila izpahnjena, kakor [bi] se z njim boril.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Rekel je: »Pusti me, kajti dan se že svita.« [Jakob] je rekel: »Ne bom te izpustil, razen če me blagosloviš.«
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Rekel mu je: »Kako ti je ime?« Rekel je: »Jakob.«
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.
Rekel je: »Tvoje ime se ne bo več imenovalo Jakob, temveč Izrael, kajti kot princ si imel moč z Bogom in z ljudmi in si prevladal.«
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
Jakob ga je vprašal in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, svoje ime.« Rekel je: »Zakaj je to, da me sprašuješ po mojem imenu?« In tam ga je blagoslovil.
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.
Jakob je kraj poimenoval Penuél, kajti videl sem Boga iz obličja v obličje in moje življenje je ohranjeno.
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Ko je prečkal Penuél, je sonce vstajalo nad njim, on pa je šepal na svojem stegnu.
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 Izraelovi otroci ne jedo od kite, ki se krči, ki je na vdrtini stegna, do današnjega dne, ker se je dotaknil vdrtine Jakobovega stegna na kiti, ki se krči.
