Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
| وَلَمَّا مَضَى يَعْقُوبُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لاقَتْهُ مَلائِكَةُ اللهِ. | ١ |
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هَذَا جُنْدُ اللهِ». فَدَعَا اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمكَانِ مَحَنَايِمَ. (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمُعَسْكَرَانِ). | ٢ |
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
| وَبَعَثَ يَعْقُوبُ قُدَّامَهُ رُسُلاً إِلَى أَخِيهِ عِيسُو فِي أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلادِ أَدُومَ. | ٣ |
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.
| وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا مَا تَقُولُونَهُ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: لَقَدْ تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لابَانَ وَمَكَثْتُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الآنَ، | ٤ |
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.'"
| وَاقْتَنَيْتُ بَقَراً وَحَمِيراً وَغَنَماً وَعَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً وَأَرْسَلْتُ لأُعْلِمَ سَيِّدِي لَعَلَّنِي أَحْظَى بِرِضَاكَ». | ٥ |
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."
| فَرَجَعَ الرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى أَخِيكَ عِيسُو وَهَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ إِلَيْكَ، وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ». | ٦ |
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;
| فَاعْتَرَى يَعْقُوبَ خَوْفٌ وَكَرَبٌ عَظِيمَانِ وَقَسَّمَ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَالْغَنَمَ وَالْبَقَرَ وَالْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَمَاعَتَيْنِ. | ٧ |
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ صَادَفَ عِيسُو إِحْدَى الْجَمَاعَتَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَهَا، تَنْجُ الْجَمَاعَةُ الْبَاقِيَةُ». | ٨ |
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,'
| وَصَلَّى يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحاقَ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي قَالَ لِي: ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى قَوْمِكَ فَأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ. | ٩ |
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.
| 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 fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
| نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَخِي عِيسُو لأَنِّي خَائِفٌ أَنْ يَقْدِمَ عَلَيَّ فَيُهْلِكَنِي وَيُهْلِكَ مَعِي الأُمَّهَاتِ وَالْبَنِينَ. | ١١ |
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.'"
| وَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ فَلا تُحْصَى لِكَثْرَتِهَا». | ١٢ |
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
| وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، وَانْتَقَى مِمَّا لَدَيْهِ هَدِيَّةً لأَخِيهِ عِيسُو. | ١٣ |
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
| فَكَانَتْ مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْساً وَمِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشاً، | ١٤ |
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
| وَثَلاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً مَعَ أَوْلادِهَا، وَأَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشَرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَتَاناً وَعَشَرَةَ حَمِيرٍ، | ١٥ |
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."
| وَعَهِدَ بِها إِلَى أَيْدِي عَبِيدِهِ، كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُونِي، وَاجْعَلُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ مَسَافَةً». | ١٦ |
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?'
| وَأَوْصَى طَلِيعَتَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «إِذَا لَقِيتَ أَخِي عِيسُو وَسَأَلَكَ: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ الْقَطِيعِ الَّذِي أَمَامَكَ؟ | ١٧ |
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.'"
| أَنَّكَ تُجِيبُ: هِيَ لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ، هَدِيَّةٌ بَعَثَ بِها لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُو. وَهَا هُوَ قَادِمٌ خَلْفَنَا». | ١٨ |
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.
| وَأَوْصَى أَيْضاً بَقِيَّةَ السَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ الْقُطْعَانِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَأَضَافَ: | ١٩ |
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."
| «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 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
| وَهَكَذَا تَقَدَّمَتْهُ هَدَايَاهُ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَضَى لَيْلَتَهُ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٢١ |
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.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَصَحِبَ مَعَهُ زَوْجَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلادَهُ الأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، وَعَبَرَ بِهِمْ مَخَاضَةَ يَبُّوقَ، | ٢٢ |
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
| وَلَمَّا أَجَازَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُ عَبْرَ الْوَادِي، | ٢٣ |
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
| وَبَقِيَ وَحْدَهُ، صَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ. | ٢٤ |
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.
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَغَلَّبْ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى حُقِّ فَخْذِهِ، فَانْخَلَعَ مَفْصِلُ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مُصَارَعَتِهِ مَعَهُ. | ٢٥ |
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."
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، فَقَدْ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ». فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا أُطْلِقُكَ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي». | ٢٦ |
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
| فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «يَعْقُوبُ». | ٢٧ |
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."
| فَقَالَ: «لا يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ، بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يُجَاهِدُ مَعَ اللهِ)، لأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ وَقَدَرْتَ». | ٢٨ |
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.
| فَسَأَلَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ اسْمِي؟» وَبَارَكَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
| وَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ اسْمَ الْمَكَانِ فَنِيئِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَجْهُ اللهِ) إِذْ قَالَ: «لأَنِّي شَاهَدْتُ اللهَ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ وَبَقِيتُ حَيًّا». | ٣٠ |
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
| وَمَا إِنْ عَبَرَ فَنِيئِيلَ حَتَّى أَشْرَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَسَارَ وَهُوَ عَارِجٌ مِنْ فَخْذِهِ | ٣١ |
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.
| 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 |
