Genesis 32
1 And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
Pour Jacob, il poursuivit son voyage; des envoyés du Seigneur se trouvèrent sur ses pas.
2 And he said Jacob just when he saw them [is] [the] camp of God this and he called [the] name of the place that Mahanaim.
Jacob dit en les voyant: "Ceci est la légion du Seigneur!" Et il appela cet endroit Mahanayim.
3 And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
Jacob envoya des messagers en avant, vers Ésaü son frère, au pays de Séir, dans la campagne d’Édom.
4 And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
Il leur avait donné cet ordre: "Vous parlerez ainsi à mon seigneur, à Ésaü: ‘Ainsi parle ton serviteur Jacob:
5 And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in view your.
J’Ai séjourné chez Laban et prolongé mon séjour jusqu’à présent. J’Ai acquis boeufs et ânes, menu bétail, esclaves mâles et femelles; je l’envoie annoncer à mon seigneur, pour obtenir faveur à ses yeux.’"
6 And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
Les messagers revinrent près de Jacob, en disant: "Nous sommes allés trouver ton frère Ésaü; lui même vient à ta rencontre et quatre cents hommes l’accompagnent."
7 And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
Jacob fut fort effrayé et plein d’anxiété. II distribua son monde, le menu, le gros bétail et les chameaux en deux bandes,
8 And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
se disant: "Si Ésaü attaque l’une des bandes et la met en pièces, la bande restante deviendra une ressource."
9 And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
Puis Jacob dit "O Divinité de mon père Abraham, Divinité d’Isaac mon père! Éternel, toi qui m’as dit: ‘Retourne à ton pays et à ton lieu natal, je te comblerai;’
10 I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
je suis peu digne de toutes les faveurs et de toute la fidélité que tu as témoignées à ton serviteur, moi qui, avec mon bâton, avais passé ce Jourdain et qui à présent possède deux légions.
11 Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
Sauve moi, de grâce, de la main de mon frère, de la main d’Ésaü; car je crains qu’il ne m’attaque et ne me frappe, joignant la mère aux enfants!
12 And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
Pourtant, tu as dit: ‘Je te comblerai de faveurs et j’égalerai ta descendance au sable de la mer, dont la quantité est incalculable.’"
13 And he stayed [the] night there in the night that and he took some of which came in hand his a gift for Esau brother his.
Il établit là son gîte pour cette nuit et il choisit, dans ce qui se trouvait en sa possession un hommage pour Ésaü son frère:
14 Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
deux cents chèvres et vingt boucs, deux cents brebis et vingt béliers;
15 Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
trente chamelles laitières avec leurs petits, quarante vaches et dix taureaux, vingt ânesses et dix ânes.
16 And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
Il remit aux mains de ses esclaves chaque troupeau à part et il leur dit: "Marchez en avant et laissez un intervalle entre un troupeau et l’autre."
17 And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
Il donna au premier l’ordre suivant: "Lorsqu’Ésaü, mon frère, te rencontrera et te demandera: ‘A qui es-tu? où vas tu? et pour qui ce bétail qui te précède?’
18 And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
Tu répondras: ‘A ton serviteur Jacob; ceci est un hommage adressé à mon seigneur Ésaü; et Jacob lui même nous suit.’"
19 And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
II ordonna de même au second, de même au troisième, de même à tous ceux qui conduisaient les troupeaux, en disant: "C’Est ainsi que vous parlerez à Ésaü quand vous le rencontrerez.
20 And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
Et vous direz: ‘Voici que lui même, ton serviteur Jacob nous suit" car il disait: "Je veux rasséréner son visage par le présent qui me devance et puis je regarderai son visage, peut être deviendra t il bienveillant pour moi."
21 And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
Le présent défila devant lui et lui, demeura cette nuit dans le camp.
22 And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one [plus] ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
Il se leva, quant à lui, pendant la nuit; il prit ses deux femmes, ses deux servantes et ses onze enfants et passa le gué de Jaboc.
23 And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
Puis il les aida à traverser le torrent et fit passer ce qui lui appartenait.
24 And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
Jacob étant resté seul, un homme lutta avec lui, jusqu’au lever de l’aube.
25 And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
Voyant qu’il ne pouvait le vaincre, il lui pressa la cuisse; et la cuisse de Jacob se luxa tandis qu’il luttait avec lui.
26 And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
Il dit: "Laisse moi partir, car l’aube est venue." II répondit: "Je ne te laisserai point, que tu ne m’aies béni."
27 And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
Il lui dit alors: "Quel est ton nom?" II répondit: "Jacob."
28 And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
Il reprit: "Jacob ne sera plus désormais ton nom, mais bien Israël; car tu as jouté contre des puissances célestes et humaines et tu es resté fort."
29 And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
Jacob l’interrogea en disant: "Apprends-moi, je te prie, ton nom." II répondit: "Pourquoi t’enquérir de mon nom?" Et il le bénit alors.
30 And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
Jacob appela ce lieu Penïel "parce que j’ai vu un être divin face à face et que ma vie est restée sauve."
31 And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
Le soleil commençait à l’éclairer lorsqu’il eut quitté Penïél; il boitait alors à cause de sa cuisse.
32 There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
C’Est pourquoi les enfants d’Israël ne mangent point aujourd’hui encore le nerf sciatique, qui tient à la cavité de la cuisse; parce que Jacob fut touché à la cavité de la cuisse, sur le nerf sciatique.
