Genesis 32
1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Yakub dan keluarganya melanjutkan perjalanan. Dalam perjalanan itu, malaikat-malaikat menemui dia.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God's camp,” so he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Ketika Yakub melihat mereka, dia berkata, “Ini perkemahan Allah!” Maka dia menamai tempat itu Mahanaim.
3 Jacob sent messengers on ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
Sesudah peristiwa itu, Yakub mengirim sejumlah utusan untuk membawa berita kepada Esau, kakaknya, di daerah Seir di negeri Edom.
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you will say to my master Esau: This is what your servant Jacob says: 'I have been staying with Laban, and have delayed my return until now.
Dia memerintahkan mereka untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada Esau, “Tuan, selama ini aku sudah tinggal bersama paman kita Laban.
5 I have oxen, donkeys, and flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent this message to my master, so that I may find favor in your eyes.'”
Sekarang aku sudah memiliki sapi, keledai, kambing, domba, budak laki-laki, dan budak perempuan. Aku mengirim utusan untuk memberitahu Tuan mengenai kedatanganku dengan harapan agar Tuan mau menerima aku dengan baik.”
6 The messengers returned to Jacob and said, “We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
Lalu pulanglah para utusan tersebut dan memberitahu Yakub, “Tuan, kami sudah bertemu Esau. Dia sedang dalam perjalanan untuk menemui Tuan, disertai empat ratus orang laki-laki!”
7 Then Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, and also the flocks, the herds, and the camels.
Mendengar itu, Yakub menjadi sangat takut. Maka dia menyuruh agar semua orang dalam rombongannya dan semua binatang miliknya dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, termasuk domba, kambing, sapi, dan unta.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape.”
Yakub melakukan itu karena berpikir, “Kalau Esau menyerang kelompok yang satu, orang-orang dalam kelompok yang lain mungkin dapat menyelamatkan diri.”
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, 'Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will prosper you,'
Kemudian Yakub berdoa, “Ya TUHAN, Allah kakekku Abraham dan ayahku Isak! Engkaulah yang menyuruh aku pulang ke negeriku dan kepada keluargaku. Engkau juga yang berjanji untuk memperlakukan aku dengan murah hati.
10 I am not worthy of all your acts of covenant faithfulness and of all the trustworthiness that you have done for your servant. For with only my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
Aku tidak layak menerima kasih dan kesetiaan yang sudah Engkau tunjukkan kepadaku. Ketika aku menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk pergi ke Haran, aku tidak punya apa-apa selain tongkat ini. Tetapi sekarang aku memiliki dua rombongan besar, dengan keluarga dan segala harta benda.
11 Please rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
Aku mohon, ya TUHAN, selamatkanlah aku dari kakakku Esau, sebab aku takut kalau dia datang dan membunuhku beserta para istri dan anak-anakku.
12 But you said, 'I will certainly make you prosper. I will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for their number.'”
Ingatlah bahwa Engkau sudah berjanji untuk memperlakukan aku dengan murah hati dan membuat keturunanku banyak, seperti pasir di laut yang tidak dapat dihitung.”
13 Jacob stayed there that night. He took some of what he had with him as a gift for Esau, his brother:
Lalu Yakub bermalam di sana. Keesokan harinya, dia mempersiapkan hadiah untuk Esau
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
berupa 200 kambing betina, 20 kambing jantan, 200 domba betina, 20 domba jantan,
15 thirty milking camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
30 unta betina beserta anak-anaknya, 40 sapi betina, 10 sapi jantan, 20 keledai betina, dan 10 keledai jantan.
16 These he gave these into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself. He said to his servants, “Go on ahead of me and put a space between each of the herds.”
Yakub membagi hewan-hewan itu menjadi beberapa kelompok dan menyerahkannya kepada budak-budaknya dengan berpesan, “Pergilah mendahului aku kelompok demi kelompok, dan pastikanlah ada jarak antara setiap kelompok.”
17 He instructed the first servant, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? Whose animals are these that are in front of you?'
Dia memberi perintah kepada para budak dalam kelompok pertama, katanya, “Waktu kalian bertemu kakakku Esau, dan kalau dia bertanya, ‘Kalian mau ke mana? Siapakah majikan kalian? Milik siapa kawanan ternak ini?’
18 Then you will say, 'They are your servant Jacob's. They are a gift sent to my master Esau. See, he is also coming after us.'”
Maka jawablah, ‘Ternak ini milik hambamu Yakub. Dia menyuruh kami membawa semua ini sebagai hadiah untuk Tuan. Yakub sendiri ada di belakang rombongan kami.’”
19 Jacob also gave instructions to the second group, the third, and all the men who followed the herds. He said, “You will say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.
Yakub memberi perintah serupa kepada setiap kelompok budak yang menggiring kawanan ternaknya, “Kalian semua harus menyampaikan hal yang sama ketika bertemu dengan kakakku Esau.
20 You must also say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming after us.'” For he thought, “I will appease him with the gifts that I am sending ahead of me. Then later, when I will see him, perhaps he will receive me.”
Dan jangan lupa untuk mengatakan kepadanya, ‘Hambamu Yakub juga ada di belakang kami.’” Yakub berkata dalam hatinya, “Mudah-mudahan dengan hadiah ini, Esau akan memaafkan aku sebelum kami bertemu, dan dia akan menerimaku dengan baik.”
21 So the gifts went on ahead of him. He himself stayed that night in the camp.
Demikianlah Yakub mengirimkan hadiah-hadiah itu terlebih dahulu kepada Esau, sementara dia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
22 Jacob got up during the night, and he took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons. He sent them across the ford of the Jabbok.
Malam itu, Yakub segera mengantar seluruh keluarganya untuk menyeberangi sungai Yabok, termasuk kedua istrinya, kedua budak istrinya, serta kesebelas anaknya.
23 In this way he sent them across the stream along with all his possessions.
Sesudah keluarganya tiba di seberang, Yakub juga menyuruh para budaknya untuk membawa seluruh miliknya ke seberang mendahului dia.
24 Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
Yakub tinggal sendirian di tempat dia berkemah tadi. Lalu datanglah seorang laki-laki dan bergulat dengan Yakub sampai fajar tiba.
25 When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob's hip. Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
Ketika orang itu sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa mengalahkan Yakub, dia memukul pangkal paha Yakub hingga terkilir.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Kemudian laki-laki itu berkata, “Biarkanlah saya pergi karena fajar sudah tiba.” Tetapi Yakub menjawab, “Tidak! Saya tidak akan melepaskan engkau sampai engkau memberkati saya!”
27 The man said to him, “What is your name?” Jacob said, “Jacob.”
Laki-laki itu bertanya, “Siapa namamu?” Jawabnya, “Yakub.”
28 The man said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel. For you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”
Kata orang itu kepadanya, “Namamu tidak lagi disebut Yakub. Aku memberikan nama baru kepadamu, yaitu Israel, karena kamu sudah menang dalam perjuangan menghadapi manusia dan pergulatan dengan Allah.”
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
Lalu Yakub bertanya, “Siapakah nama-Mu?” Tetapi jawab Orang itu, “Kamu tidak perlu tahu nama-Ku.” Dia pun memberkati Yakub di situ.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered.”
Yakub menamai tempat itu Peniel, karena dia sudah bertatapan muka dengan Allah secara langsung dan dia masih hidup.
31 The sun rose on Jacob as he passed Peniel. He was limping because of his hip.
Matahari sudah terbit ketika Yakub meninggalkan Peniel, dan Yakub pincang akibat pangkal pahanya yang terkilir.
32 That is why to this day the people of Israel do not eat the ligaments of the hip which are at the hip joint, because the man injured those ligaments while dislocating Jacob's hip.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang orang Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pangkal paha, sebagai peringatan akan kejadian yang sudah dialami Yakub malam itu.
