Genesis 32
1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
| وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ وَلَاقَاهُ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ. | ١ |
2 and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ إِذْ رَآهُمْ: «هَذَا جَيْشُ ٱللهِ!». فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «مَحَنَايِمَ». | ٢ |
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
| وَأَرْسَلَ يَعْقُوبُ رُسُلًا قُدَّامَهُ إِلَى عِيسُوَ أَخِيهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلَادِ أَدُومَ، | ٣ |
4 and commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger until now;
| وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لَابَانَ وَلَبِثْتُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. | ٤ |
5 and I have ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
| وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي بَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَغَنَمٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ. وَأَرْسَلْتُ لِأُخْبِرَ سَيِّدِي لِكَيْ أَجِدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». | ٥ |
6 And the messengers return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him”;
| فَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَيْنَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ، إِلَى عِيسُو، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا قَادِمٌ لِلِقَائِكَ، وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ». | ٦ |
7 and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
| فَخَافَ يَعْقُوبُ جِدًّا وَضَاقَ بِهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ، فَقَسَمَ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَيْشَيْنِ. | ٧ |
8 and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ جَاءَ عِيسُو إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ وَضَرَبَهُ، يَكُونُ ٱلْجَيْشُ ٱلْبَاقِي نَاجِيًا». | ٨ |
9 And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لِيَ: ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِكَ فَأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ. | ٩ |
10 I have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
| صَغِيرٌ أَنَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ أَلْطَافِكَ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ. فَإِنِّي بِعَصَايَ عَبَرْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ صِرْتُ جَيْشَيْنِ. | ١٠ |
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
| نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَخِي، مِنْ يَدِ عِيسُوَ، لِأَنِّي خَائِفٌ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيَضْرِبَنِي ٱلْأُمَّ مَعَ ٱلْبَنِينَ. | ١١ |
12 and You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.”
| وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ لِلْكَثْرَةِ». | ١٢ |
13 And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
| وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ وَأَخَذَ مِمَّا أَتَى بِيَدِهِ هَدِيَّةً لِعِيسُو أَخِيهِ: | ١٣ |
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
| مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْسًا، مِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشًا، | ١٤ |
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
| ثَلَاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً وَأَوْلَادَهَا، أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ، عِشْرِينَ أَتَانًا وَعَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ، | ١٥ |
16 and he gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between drove and drove.”
| وَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ قَطِيعًا قَطِيعًا عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا قُدَّامِي وَٱجْعَلُوا فُسْحَةً بَيْنَ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ». | ١٦ |
17 And he commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا صَادَفَكَ عِيسُو أَخِي وَسَأَلَكَ قَائِلًا: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَلِمَنْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَكَ؟ | ١٧ |
18 Then you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [is] behind us.”
| تَقُولُ: لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ. هُوَ هَدِيَّةٌ مُرْسَلَةٌ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ، وَهَا هُوَ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». | ١٨ |
19 And he commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding him,
| وَأَمَرَ أَيْضًا ٱلْثَانِى وَٱلثَّالِثَ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ قَائِلًا: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تُكَلِّمُونَ عِيسُوَ حِينَمَا تَجِدُونَهُ، | ١٩ |
20 and you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
| وَتَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَسْتَعْطِفُ وَجْهَهُ بِٱلْهَدِيَّةِ ٱلسَّائِرَةِ أَمَامِي، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَهُ، عَسَى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ وَجْهِي». | ٢٠ |
21 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
| فَٱجْتَازَتِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةُ قُدَّامَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَبَاتَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ٢١ |
22 And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of Jabbok;
| ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلَادَهُ ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَعَبَرَ مَخَاضَةَ يَبُّوقَ. | ٢٢ |
23 and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
| أَخَذَهُمْ وَأَجَازَهُمُ ٱلْوَادِيَ، وَأَجَازَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
| فَبَقِيَ يَعْقُوبُ وَحْدَهُ، وَصَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ. | ٢٤ |
25 and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with Him;
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِهِ، فَٱنْخَلَعَ حُقُّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مُصَارَعَتِهِ مَعَهُ. | ٢٥ |
26 and He says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed me.”
| وَقَالَ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَلَعَ ٱلْفَجْرُ». فَقَالَ: «لَا أُطْلِقُكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُبَارِكْنِي». | ٢٦ |
27 And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَعْقُوبُ». | ٢٧ |
28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
| فَقَالَ: «لَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ وَقَدَرْتَ». | ٢٨ |
29 And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.
| وَسَأَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي بِٱسْمِكَ». فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ٱسْمِي؟». وَبَارَكَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
| فَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «فَنِيئِيلَ» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنِّي نَظَرْتُ ٱللهَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ، وَنُجِّيَتْ نَفْسِي». | ٣٠ |
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
| وَأَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِذْ عَبَرَ فَنُوئِيلَ وَهُوَ يَخْمَعُ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ. | ٣١ |
32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِرْقَ ٱلنَّسَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى حُقِّ ٱلْفَخْذِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى عِرْقِ ٱلنَّسَا. | ٣٢ |
