Genesis 32
1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
| وَلَمَّا مَضَى يَعْقُوبُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لاقَتْهُ مَلائِكَةُ اللهِ. | 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.”
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هَذَا جُنْدُ اللهِ». فَدَعَا اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمكَانِ مَحَنَايِمَ. (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمُعَسْكَرَانِ). | ٢ |
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
| وَبَعَثَ يَعْقُوبُ قُدَّامَهُ رُسُلاً إِلَى أَخِيهِ عِيسُو فِي أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلادِ 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;
| وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: لَقَدْ تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لابَانَ وَمَكَثْتُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الآنَ، | 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.”
| وَاقْتَنَيْتُ بَقَراً وَحَمِيراً وَغَنَماً وَعَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً وَأَرْسَلْتُ لأُعْلِمَ سَيِّدِي لَعَلَّنِي أَحْظَى بِرِضَاكَ». | 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 الرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى أَخِيكَ عِيسُو وَهَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ». | 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,
| فَاعْتَرَى يَعْقُوبَ خَوْفٌ وَكَرَبٌ عَظِيمَانِ وَقَسَّمَ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَالْغَنَمَ وَالْبَقَرَ وَالْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَمَاعَتَيْنِ. | 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 صَادَفَ عِيسُو إِحْدَى الْجَمَاعَتَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَهَا، تَنْجُ الْجَمَاعَةُ الْبَاقِيَةُ». | 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:
| وَصَلَّى يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحاقَ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي قَالَ لِي: ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى قَوْمِكَ 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.
| أَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ جَمِيعَ إِحْسَانَاتِكَ وَأَمَانَتَكَ الَّتيِ أَبْدَيْتَهَا نَحْوَ عَبْدِكَ، فَقَدْ عَبَرْتُ الأُرْدُنَّ وَلَيْسَ مَعِي سِوَى عَصَايَ، وَهَا أَنَا أَعُودُ وَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ 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 عِيسُو لأَنِّي خَائِفٌ أَنْ يَقْدِمَ عَلَيَّ فَيُهْلِكَنِي وَيُهْلِكَ مَعِي الأُمَّهَاتِ وَالْبَنِينَ. | 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 قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ فَلا تُحْصَى لِكَثْرَتِهَا». | 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 اللَّيْلَةَ، وَانْتَقَى مِمَّا لَدَيْهِ هَدِيَّةً لأَخِيهِ عِيسُو. | ١٣ |
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
| فَكَانَتْ مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْساً وَمِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشاً، | ١٤ |
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
| وَثَلاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً مَعَ أَوْلادِهَا، وَأَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشَرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَتَاناً وَعَشَرَةَ 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.”
| وَعَهِدَ بِها إِلَى أَيْدِي عَبِيدِهِ، كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُونِي، وَاجْعَلُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ مَسَافَةً». | 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?
| وَأَوْصَى طَلِيعَتَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِذَا لَقِيتَ أَخِي عِيسُو وَسَأَلَكَ: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ الْقَطِيعِ الَّذِي أَمَامَكَ؟ | 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.”
| أَنَّكَ تُجِيبُ: هِيَ لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَدِيَّةٌ بَعَثَ بِها لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو. وَهَا هُوَ قَادِمٌ خَلْفَنَا». | 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,
| وَأَوْصَى أَيْضاً بَقِيَّةَ السَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ الْقُطْعَانِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَأَضَافَ: | 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”;
| «تَقُولُونَ أَيْضاً: هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ قَادِمٌ وَرَاءَنَا». وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أَسْتَعْطِفُهُ بِالْهَدَايَا الَّتِي تَتَقَدَّمُنِي، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أُشَاهِدُ وَجْهَهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَرْضَى عَنِّي». | ٢٠ |
21 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
| وَهَكَذَا تَقَدَّمَتْهُ هَدَايَاهُ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَضَى لَيْلَتَهُ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ. | 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 اللَّيْلَةِ وَصَحِبَ مَعَهُ زَوْجَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلادَهُ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، وَعَبَرَ بِهِمْ 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.
| وَلَمَّا أَجَازَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ عَبْرَ الْوَادِي، | ٢٣ |
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
| وَبَقِيَ وَحْدَهُ، صَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ. | 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;
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَغَلَّبْ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى حُقِّ فَخْذِهِ، فَانْخَلَعَ مَفْصِلُ 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 لَهُ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، فَقَدْ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ». فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا أُطْلِقُكَ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي». | ٢٦ |
27 And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
| فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «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: «لا يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ، بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يُجَاهِدُ مَعَ اللهِ)، لأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ 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.
| فَسَأَلَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ اسْمِي؟» 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”;
| وَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ اسْمَ الْمَكَانِ فَنِيئِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَجْهُ اللهِ) إِذْ قَالَ: «لأَنِّي شَاهَدْتُ اللهَ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ وَبَقِيتُ حَيًّا». | ٣٠ |
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
| وَمَا إِنْ عَبَرَ فَنِيئِيلَ حَتَّى أَشْرَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَسَارَ وَهُوَ عَارِجٌ مِنْ 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 يَمْتَنِعُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَكْلِ عِرْقِ النَّسَا الَّذِي عَلَى حُقِّ الْفَخْذِ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى عِرْقِ النَّسَا. | ٣٢ |
