Genesis 32
1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
Yakub dan keluarganya melanjutkan perjalanan. Dalam perjalanan itu, malaikat-malaikat menemui dia.
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.”
Ketika Yakub melihat mereka, dia berkata, “Ini perkemahan Allah!” Maka dia menamai tempat itu Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Sesudah peristiwa itu, Yakub mengirim sejumlah utusan untuk membawa berita kepada Esau, kakaknya, di daerah Seir di negeri Edom.
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;
Dia memerintahkan mereka untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada Esau, “Tuan, selama ini aku sudah tinggal bersama paman kita Laban.
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.”
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 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”;
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 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,
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 says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an 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 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:
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.”
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 lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
Lalu Yakub bermalam di sana. Keesokan harinya, dia mempersiapkan hadiah untuk Esau
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
berupa 200 kambing betina, 20 kambing jantan, 200 domba betina, 20 domba jantan,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
30 unta betina beserta anak-anaknya, 40 sapi betina, 10 sapi jantan, 20 keledai betina, dan 10 keledai jantan.
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.”
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 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?
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 have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [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 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,
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 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”;
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 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
Demikianlah Yakub mengirimkan hadiah-hadiah itu terlebih dahulu kepada Esau, sementara dia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
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;
Malam itu, Yakub segera mengantar seluruh keluarganya untuk menyeberangi sungai Yabok, termasuk kedua istrinya, kedua budak istrinya, serta kesebelas anaknya.
23 and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
Sesudah keluarganya tiba di seberang, Yakub juga menyuruh para budaknya untuk membawa seluruh miliknya ke seberang mendahului dia.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
Yakub tinggal sendirian di tempat dia berkemah tadi. Lalu datanglah seorang laki-laki dan bergulat dengan Yakub sampai fajar tiba.
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;
Ketika orang itu sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa mengalahkan Yakub, dia memukul pangkal paha Yakub hingga terkilir.
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.”
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 says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
Laki-laki itu bertanya, “Siapa namamu?” Jawabnya, “Yakub.”
28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
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 asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses 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 calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
Yakub menamai tempat itu Peniel, karena dia sudah bertatapan muka dengan Allah secara langsung dan dia masih hidup.
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Matahari sudah terbit ketika Yakub meninggalkan Peniel, dan Yakub pincang akibat pangkal pahanya yang terkilir.
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.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang orang Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pangkal paha, sebagai peringatan akan kejadian yang sudah dialami Yakub malam itu.
