Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Yakub dan keluarganya melanjutkan perjalanan. Dalam perjalanan itu, malaikat-malaikat menemui dia.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Ketika Yakub melihat mereka, dia berkata, “Ini perkemahan Allah!” Maka dia menamai tempat itu Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Sesudah peristiwa itu, Yakub mengirim sejumlah utusan untuk membawa berita kepada Esau, kakaknya, di daerah Seir di negeri Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall all of you speak unto my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob says thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
Dia memerintahkan mereka untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada Esau, “Tuan, selama ini aku sudah tinggal bersama paman kita Laban.
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and male servants, and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your sight.
Sekarang aku sudah memiliki sapi, keledai, kambing, domba, budak laki-laki, dan budak perempuan. Aku mengirim utusan untuk memberitahu Tuan mengenai kedatanganku dengan harapan agar Tuan mau menerima aku dengan baik.”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Lalu pulanglah para utusan tersebut dan memberitahu Yakub, “Tuan, kami sudah bertemu Esau. Dia sedang dalam perjalanan untuk menemui Tuan, disertai empat ratus orang laki-laki!”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
Mendengar itu, Yakub menjadi sangat takut. Maka dia menyuruh agar semua orang dalam rombongannya dan semua binatang miliknya dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, termasuk domba, kambing, sapi, dan unta.
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and strike it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Yakub melakukan itu karena berpikir, “Kalau Esau menyerang kelompok yang satu, orang-orang dalam kelompok yang lain mungkin dapat menyelamatkan diri.”
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which said unto me, Return unto your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:
Kemudian Yakub berdoa, “Ya TUHAN, Allah kakekku Abraham dan ayahku Isak! Engkaulah yang menyuruh aku pulang ke negeriku dan kepada keluargaku. Engkau juga yang berjanji untuk memperlakukan aku dengan murah hati.
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which you have showed unto your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
Aku tidak layak menerima kasih dan kesetiaan yang sudah Engkau tunjukkan kepadaku. Ketika aku menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk pergi ke Haran, aku tidak punya apa-apa selain tongkat ini. Tetapi sekarang aku memiliki dua rombongan besar, dengan keluarga dan segala harta benda.
11 Deliver me, I pray you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and strike me, and the mother with the children.
Aku mohon, ya TUHAN, selamatkanlah aku dari kakakku Esau, sebab aku takut kalau dia datang dan membunuhku beserta para istri dan anak-anakku.
12 And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Ingatlah bahwa Engkau sudah berjanji untuk memperlakukan aku dengan murah hati dan membuat keturunanku banyak, seperti pasir di laut yang tidak dapat dihitung.”
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Lalu Yakub bermalam di sana. Keesokan harinya, dia mempersiapkan hadiah untuk Esau
14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
berupa 200 kambing betina, 20 kambing jantan, 200 domba betina, 20 domba jantan,
15 Thirty milk giving camels with their colts, forty cattle, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
30 unta betina beserta anak-anaknya, 40 sapi betina, 10 sapi jantan, 20 keledai betina, dan 10 keledai jantan.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Yakub membagi hewan-hewan itu menjadi beberapa kelompok dan menyerahkannya kepada budak-budaknya dengan berpesan, “Pergilah mendahului aku kelompok demi kelompok, dan pastikanlah ada jarak antara setiap kelompok.”
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meet you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where go you? and whose are these before you?
Dia memberi perintah kepada para budak dalam kelompok pertama, katanya, “Waktu kalian bertemu kakakku Esau, dan kalau dia bertanya, ‘Kalian mau ke mana? Siapakah majikan kalian? Milik siapa kawanan ternak ini?’
18 Then you shall say, They be your servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
Maka jawablah, ‘Ternak ini milik hambamu Yakub. Dia menyuruh kami membawa semua ini sebagai hadiah untuk Tuan. Yakub sendiri ada di belakang rombongan kami.’”
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall all of you speak unto Esau, when all of you find him.
Yakub memberi perintah serupa kepada setiap kelompok budak yang menggiring kawanan ternaknya, “Kalian semua harus menyampaikan hal yang sama ketika bertemu dengan kakakku Esau.
20 And say all of you moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; possibly he will accept of me.
Dan jangan lupa untuk mengatakan kepadanya, ‘Hambamu Yakub juga ada di belakang kami.’” Yakub berkata dalam hatinya, “Mudah-mudahan dengan hadiah ini, Esau akan memaafkan aku sebelum kami bertemu, dan dia akan menerimaku dengan baik.”
21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
Demikianlah Yakub mengirimkan hadiah-hadiah itu terlebih dahulu kepada Esau, sementara dia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Malam itu, Yakub segera mengantar seluruh keluarganya untuk menyeberangi sungai Yabok, termasuk kedua istrinya, kedua budak istrinya, serta kesebelas anaknya.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
Sesudah keluarganya tiba di seberang, Yakub juga menyuruh para budaknya untuk membawa seluruh miliknya ke seberang mendahului dia.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Yakub tinggal sendirian di tempat dia berkemah tadi. Lalu datanglah seorang laki-laki dan bergulat dengan Yakub sampai fajar tiba.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Ketika orang itu sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa mengalahkan Yakub, dia memukul pangkal paha Yakub hingga terkilir.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
Kemudian laki-laki itu berkata, “Biarkanlah saya pergi karena fajar sudah tiba.” Tetapi Yakub menjawab, “Tidak! Saya tidak akan melepaskan engkau sampai engkau memberkati saya!”
27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
Laki-laki itu bertanya, “Siapa namamu?” Jawabnya, “Yakub.”
28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
Kata orang itu kepadanya, “Namamu tidak lagi disebut Yakub. Aku memberikan nama baru kepadamu, yaitu Israel, karena kamu sudah menang dalam perjuangan menghadapi manusia dan pergulatan dengan Allah.”
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Lalu Yakub bertanya, “Siapakah nama-Mu?” Tetapi jawab Orang itu, “Kamu tidak perlu tahu nama-Ku.” Dia pun memberkati Yakub di situ.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Yakub menamai tempat itu Peniel, karena dia sudah bertatapan muka dengan Allah secara langsung dan dia masih hidup.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Matahari sudah terbit ketika Yakub meninggalkan Peniel, dan Yakub pincang akibat pangkal pahanya yang terkilir.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang orang Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pangkal paha, sebagai peringatan akan kejadian yang sudah dialami Yakub malam itu.
