Genesis 32
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
Yakub dan keluarganya melanjutkan perjalanan. Dalam perjalanan itu, malaikat-malaikat menemui dia.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
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 to the land of Seir, to 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 charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
Dia memerintahkan mereka untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada Esau, “Tuan, selama ini aku sudah tinggal bersama paman kita Laban.
5 And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might 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 behold! 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 And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
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 Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
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, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
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 Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
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 from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon 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 But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not 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 slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
Lalu Yakub bermalam di sana. Keesokan harinya, dia mempersiapkan hadiah untuk Esau
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
berupa 200 kambing betina, 20 kambing jantan, 200 domba betina, 20 domba jantan,
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
30 unta betina beserta anak-anaknya, 40 sapi betina, 10 sapi jantan, 20 keledai betina, dan 10 keledai jantan.
16 And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on 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 charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing 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 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! 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 he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when 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 you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept 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 the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Demikianlah Yakub mengirimkan hadiah-hadiah itu terlebih dahulu kepada Esau, sementara dia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
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 passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
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 a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Yakub tinggal sendirian di tempat dia berkemah tadi. Lalu datanglah seorang laki-laki dan bergulat dengan Yakub sampai fajar tiba.
25 And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
Ketika orang itu sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa mengalahkan Yakub, dia memukul pangkal paha Yakub hingga terkilir.
26 And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but 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 to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
Laki-laki itu bertanya, “Siapa namamu?” Jawabnya, “Yakub.”
28 And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
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 and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you 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 that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
Yakub menamai tempat itu Peniel, karena dia sudah bertatapan muka dengan Allah secara langsung dan dia masih hidup.
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; 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 will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang orang Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pangkal paha, sebagai peringatan akan kejadian yang sudah dialami Yakub malam itu.
