Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
茲にヤコブその途に進みしが神の使者これにあふ
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
ヤコブこれを見て是は神の陣營なりといひてその處の名をマハナイム（二營）となづけたり
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
かくてヤコブ己より前に使者をつかはしてセイルの地エドムの野にをる其兄エサウの所にいたらしむ
4 He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
即ち之に命じて言ふ汝等かくわが主エサウにいふべし汝の僕ヤコブ斯いふ我ラバンの所に寄寓て今までとどまれり
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.'"
我牛驢馬羊僕婢あり人をつかはしてわが主に告ぐ汝の前に恩をえんことを願ふなりと
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him."
使者ヤコブにかへりて言けるは我等汝の兄エサウの許に至れり彼四百人をしたがへて汝をむかへんとて來ると
7 Then Jacob was very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
是によりヤコブ大におそれ且くるしみ己とともにある人衆および羊と牛と駱駝を二隊にわかちて
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
言けるはエサウもし一の隊に來りて之をうたば遺れるところの一隊逃るべし
9 Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'
ヤコブまた言けるはわが父アブラハムの神わが父イサクの神ヱホバよ汝嘗て我につげて汝の國にかへり汝の親族に到れ我なんぢを善せんといひたまへり
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
我はなんぢが僕にほどこしたまひし恩恵と眞實を一も受るにたらざるなり我わが杖のみを持てこのヨルダンを濟りしが今は二隊とも成にいたれり
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
願くはわが兄の手よりエサウの手より我をすくひいだしたまへ我彼をおそる恐くは彼きたりて我をうち母と子とに及ばん
12 You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
汝は嘗て我かならず汝を惠み汝の子孫を濱の沙の多して數ふべからざるが如くなさんといひたまへりと
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
彼その夜彼處に宿りその手にいりし物の中より兄エサウへの禮物をえらべり
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
即ち牝山羊二百牡山羊二十牝羊二百牡羊二十
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
乳駱駝と其子三十牝牛四十牡牛十牝の驢馬二十驢馬の子十
16 He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
而して其群と群とをわかちて之を僕の手に授し僕にいひけるは吾に先ちて進み群と群との間を隔ておくべし
17 He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?'
又その前者に命じて言けるはわが兄エサウ汝にあひ汝に問て汝は誰の人にして何處にゆくや是汝のまへなる者は誰の所有なるやといはば
18 Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is behind us.'"
汝の僕ヤコブの所有にしてわが主エサウにたてまつる禮物なり視よ彼もわれらの後にをるといふべしと
19 He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you find him.
彼かく第二の者第三の者および凡て群々にしたがひゆく者に命じていふ汝等エサウにあふ時はかくの如く之にいふべし
20 You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
且汝等いへ視よなんぢの僕ヤコブわれらの後にをるとヤコブおもへらく我わが前におくる禮物をもて彼を和めて然るのち其面を觀ん然ば彼われを接遇ることあらんと
21 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
是によりて禮物かれに先ちて行く彼は其夜陣營の中に宿りしが
22 He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
其夜おきいでて二人の妻と二人の仕女および十一人の子を導きてヤボクの渡をわたれり
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
即ち彼等をみちびきて川を渉らしめ又その有る物を渡せり
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
而してヤコブ一人遺りしが人ありて夜の明るまで之と角力す
25 When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
其人己のヤコブに勝ざるを見てヤコブの髀の樞骨に觸しかばヤコブの髀の樞骨其人と角力する時挫離たり
26 Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
其人夜明んとすれば我をさらしめよといひければヤコブいふ汝われを祝せずばさらしめずと
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
是に於て其人かれにいふ汝の名は何なるや彼いふヤコブなり
28 Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed."
其人いひけるは汝の名は重てヤコブととなふべからずイスラエルととなふべし其は汝神と人とに力をあらそひて勝たればなりと
29 Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
ヤコブ問て請ふ汝の名を告よといひければ其人何故にわが名をとふやといひて乃ち其處にて之を祝せり
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
是を以てヤコブその處の名をベニエル（神の面）となづけて曰ふ我面と面をあはせて神とあひ見てわが生命なほ存るなりと
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
斯て彼日のいづる時にベニエルを過たりしが其髀のために歩行はかどらざりき
32 Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
是故にイスラエルの子孫は今日にいたるまで髀の樞の巨筋を食はず是彼人がヤコブの髀の巨筋に觸たるによりてなり
