Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
雅各仍旧行路， 神的使者遇见他。
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
雅各看见他们就说：“这是 神的军兵”，于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念。
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫，
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.
吩咐他们说：“你们对我主以扫说：‘你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，直到如今。
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.'"
我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在打发人来报告我主，为要在你眼前蒙恩。’”
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."
所打发的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。”
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;
雅各就甚惧怕，而且愁烦，便把那与他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、骆驼分做两队，
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
说：“以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。”
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,'
雅各说：“耶和华—我祖亚伯拉罕的 神，我父亲以撒的 神啊，你曾对我说：‘回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。’
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.
你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实，我一点也不配得；我先前只拿着我的杖过这约旦河，如今我却成了两队了。
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.
求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手；因为我怕他来杀我，连妻子带儿女一同杀了。
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.'"
你曾说：‘我必定厚待你，使你的后裔如同海边的沙，多得不可胜数。’”
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
当夜，雅各在那里住宿，就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫：
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
奶崽子的骆驼三十只—各带着崽子，母牛四十只，公牛十只，母驴二十匹，驴驹十匹；
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."
每样各分一群，交在仆人手下，就对仆人说：“你们要在我前头过去，使群群相离，有空闲的地方”；
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?'
又吩咐尽先走的说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，问你说：‘你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前头这些是谁的？’
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.'"
你就说：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边。’”
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.
又吩咐第二、第三，和一切赶群畜的人说：“你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说；
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."
并且你们要说：‘你仆人雅各在我们后边。’”因雅各心里说：“我借着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他容纳我。”
21 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
于是礼物先过去了；那夜，雅各在队中住宿。
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.
他夜间起来，带着两个妻子，两个使女，并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口，
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。
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.
那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
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."
那人说：“天黎明了，容我去吧！”雅各说：“你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。”
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
那人说：“你名叫什么？”他说：“我名叫雅各。”
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."
那人说：“你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列；因为你与 神与人较力，都得了胜。”
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.
雅各问他说：“请将你的名告诉我。”那人说：“何必问我的名？”于是在那里给雅各祝福。
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒，意思说：“我面对面见了 神，我的性命仍得保全。”
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
日头刚出来的时候，雅各经过毗努伊勒，他的大腿就瘸了。
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.
故此，以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋，直到今日，因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。
