Genesis 32
1 And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
Jacob, de son côté, reprit sa route, et, ayant levé les yeux, il vit un camp de Dieu déployé. Les anges de Dieu vinrent à sa rencontre.
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 en les voyant s'écria: Voici un camp de Dieu; et il nomma ce lieu les Camps.
3 And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
Et Jacob envoya des messagers à son frère Esaü, en la terre de Séir, dans le pays 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.
Et il leur donna ses ordres, disant: Vous parlerez ainsi à mon seigneur Esaü: Ton serviteur Jacob te parle ainsi: J'ai habité auprès de Laban; j'y suis resté jusqu'à cette heure.
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'y ai acquis des bœufs, et des ânes, et du menu bétail, et des serviteurs et des servantes; j'envoie des messagers à mon seigneur Esaü, afin que son serviteur trouve grâce devant lui.
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 vers Jacob, disant: Nous sommes allés chez ton frère Esaü, et voici qu'il vient à ta rencontre avec quatre cents hommes.
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 eut grande crainte, et il était très indécis; il divisa en deux troupes les hommes qui l'accompagnaient, ainsi que les bœufs, et les chamelles, et les brebis.
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.
Jacob se disait: Si Esaü marche sur l'une des troupes et la combat, la seconde du moins pourra être sauvée.
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.
Et Jacob dit: Dieu de mon père Abraham, Dieu de mon père Isaac, Seigneur, vous qui m'avez dit: Retourne en la terre où tu es né, et je te serai favorable,
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.
C'est assez pour moi de toute la justice et de toute la vérité dont vous avez usé envers votre serviteur; car j'ai traversé le Jourdain n'ayant que ce bâton, et je reviens possesseur de deux troupes.
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.
Délivrez-moi de la main de mon frère, de la main d'Esaü, car je le crains; je crains qu'en arrivant il ne frappe et moi, et la mère avec ses 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.
C'est vous qui avez dit: Je te serai favorable, et je rendrai ta race aussi nombreuse que le sable de la mer, dont nul ne saurait compter l'abondance.
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 dormit cette nuit dans l'endroit où il était, il prit ensuite des biens qu'il portait, pour en faire des présents, et il envoya à son frère Esaü
14 Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
Deux cents chèvres, vingt boucs, deux cents brebis, vingt béliers,
15 Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
Quarante chamelles à lait et leurs petits, quarante bœufs, dix taureaux, vingt ânes et dix poulains.
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 les envoya par des serviteurs, chaque espèce formant un troupeau; et il dit à ses serviteurs: Marchez devant moi, et laissez un intervalle entre deux troupeaux.
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.
Puis, il donna ses ordres à celui qui était en tête, disant: Lorsque Esaü mon frère te rencontrera et t'interrogera, disant: De qui es-tu? où vas- tu? à qui sont les bêtes qui marchent devant toi?
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: À ton serviteur Jacob; il envoie des présents à mon seigneur Esaü, et voici qu'il vient derrière nous.
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.
Il donna ensuite ses ordres au premier serviteur, au second, au troisième et à tous ceux qui marchaient avec les troupeaux, disant: Répondez en ces termes à Esaü, lorsque 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.
Dites: Voici ton serviteur Jacob qui vient derrière nous. Car, se dit- il, je l'apaiserai par les présents qui vont au devant de lui, et, après cela, je le verrai face à face, et il m'accueillera favorablement.
21 And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
Les présents partirent en avant et s'éloignèrent de lui; et cette nuit- là il coucha 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.
Et, s'étant levé pendant la nuit, il prit les deux femmes, les deux servantes et les onze garçons; puis, il traversa le gué de Jaboch:
23 And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
Il les prit, puis il traversa le fleuve, et tout ce qui lui appartenait traversa aussi.
24 And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
Jacob resta seul; alors un homme lutta contre lui jusqu'au matin,
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.
Et, voyant qu'il ne pouvait l'emporter, il toucha le gras de la cuisse de Jacob, qui s'engourdit dans la lutte.
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.
L'ange lui dit: Laisse-moi partir, car l'aurore s'est levée; il répondit: Je ne te laisserai point partir que tu ne m'aies béni.
27 And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
L'ange repartit: Quel est ton nom? il 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.
Tu ne te nommeras plus Jacob, reprit l'ange, Israël sera ton nom: parce que tu as été fort contre Dieu, et que tu seras fort contre les hommes.
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 lui fit cette question: Apprends-moi ton nom. Pourquoi, répondit- il, me demandes-tu mon nom? et sur le lieu même il le bénit.
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 nomma cet endroit Vision de Dieu; car, dit-il, j'ai vu Dieu face à face, et la vie m'a été conservée.
31 And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
La vision de Dieu s'étant évanouie, le soleil se leva sur lui, et Jacob boitait de la 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.
À cause de cela les fils d'Israël, aujourd'hui encore, ne mangent point le nerf du gras de la cuisse qui fut engourdi, parce que le gras de la cuisse de Jacob fut touché et que le nerf s'engourdit.
