Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
E foi tambem Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-o os anjos de Deus.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exercito de Deus. E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Mahanaim.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, á terra de Seir, territorio de Edom.
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.
E ordenou-lhes, dizendo: Assim direis a meu senhor Esaú: Assim diz Jacob, teu servo: Como peregrino morei com Labão, e me detive lá até agora;
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.'"
E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o annunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
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."
E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e tambem elle vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com elle.
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;
Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com elle estava, e as ovelhas, e as vaccas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
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,'
Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pae Abrahão, e Deus de meu pae Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te á tua terra, e á tua parentela, e far-te-hei bem;
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.
Menor sou eu que todas as beneficencias, e que toda a fidelidade que fizeste ao teu servo; porque com meu cajado passei este Jordão, e agora me tornei em dois bandos;
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.
Livra-me, peço-te, da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú: porque o temo, que porventura não venha, e me fira, e a mãe com os filhos
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.'"
E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua semente como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
E passou ali aquella noite; e tomou do que lhe veiu á sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vaccas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
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."
E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho á parte, e disse a seus servos: Passae adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
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?'
E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vaes, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
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.'"
Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que elle mesmo vem tambem atraz de nós
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.
E ordenou tambem ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atraz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, fallareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
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."
E direis tambem: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atraz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vae diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura acceitará a minha face.
21 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; elle porém passou aquella noite no arraial.
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.
E levantou-se aquella mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o váo de Jabbok.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
E tomou-os, e fel-os passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
Jacob porém ficou só; e luctou com elle um varão, até que a alva subia.
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.
E vendo que não prevalecia contra elle, tocou a juntura de sua côxa, e se deslocou a juntura da côxa de Jacob, luctando com elle.
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."
E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém elle disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: Jacob.
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."
Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como principe luctaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
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.
E Jacob lhe perguntou, e disse: Dá-me, peço-te, a saber o teu nome. E disse: Porque perguntas pelo meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
E chamou Jacob o nome d'aquelle logar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua côxa.
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.
Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da côxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da côxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
