Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
E foi também Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-no os anjos de Deus.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exército de Deus. E chamou o nome daquele lugar Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, à terra de Seir, território de 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:
E ordenou-lhes, dizendo: Assim direis a meu senhor Esaú: Assim diz Jacob, teu servo: Como peregrino morei com Labão, e me detive lá até agora;
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.
E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o anunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
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.
E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e também ele vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com ele.
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;
Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com ele estava, e as ovelhas, e as vacas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and strike it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
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:
Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pai Abraão, e Deus de meu pai Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te à tua terra, e à tua parentela, e far-te-ei bem;
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.
Menor sou eu que todas as beneficências, e que toda a fidelidade que fizeste ao teu servo; porque com meu cajado passei este Jordão, e agora me tornei em dois bandos;
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.
Livra-me, peço-te, da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú: porque o temo, que porventura não venha, e me fira, e a mãe com os filhos
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.
E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua semente como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
E passou ali aquela noite; e tomou do que lhe veio à sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
15 Thirty milk giving camels with their colts, forty cattle, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vacas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
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.
E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho à parte, e disse a seus servos: passai adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
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?
E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vais, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
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.
Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que ele mesmo vem também atráz de nós
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.
E ordenou também ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atráz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, falareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
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.
E direis também: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atráz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vai diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura aceitará a minha face.
21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; ele porém passou aquela noite no arraial.
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.
E levantou-se aquela mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o vau de Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
E tomou-os, e fê-los passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jacob porém ficou só; e lutou com ele um varão, até que a alva subia.
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.
E vendo que não prevalecia contra ele, tocou a juntura de sua coxa, e se deslocou a juntura da coxa de Jacob, lutando com ele.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém ele disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Jacob.
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.
Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como príncipe lutaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
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.
E Jacob lhe perguntou, e disse: Dá-me, peço-te, a saber o teu nome. E disse: Porque perguntas pelo meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
E chamou Jacob o nome daquele lugar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua coxa.
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.
Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da coxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da coxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
