< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Un Jēkabs gāja savu ceļu, un Dieva eņģeļi to sastapa.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Un šos redzēdams Jēkabs sacīja: tas ir Dieva karaspēks, - un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Mahānaīm.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Un Jēkabs sūtīja vēstnešus savā priekšā pie Ēsava, sava brāļa, uz Seīra zemi, uz Edoma tiesu,
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now:
Un tiem pavēlēja un sacīja: tā jums būs sacīt manam kungam Ēsavam: tā saka tavs kalps Jēkabs: es esmu svešumā mitis pie Lābana un līdz šim tur palicis.
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Un man ir vērši un ēzeļi, avis un kalpi un kalpones, un es esmu sūtījis savam kungam vēstīt, lai es žēlastību tavās acīs atrodu.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Un tie vēstneši griezās atpakaļ pie Jēkaba un sacīja: mēs nācām pie tava brāļa Ēsava, un viņš tev arīdzan iet pretī, un četrsimt vīri līdz ar viņu.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and distressed: and he divided the people that [were] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
Tad Jēkabs bijās ļoti un viņam bija bail, un viņš šķīra divējos pulkos tos ļaudis, kas tam bija, un tās avis un tos vēršus un tos kamieļus,
8 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left, will escape.
Un sacīja: ja Ēsavs uzbruks vienam pulkam un to apkaus, tad tas otrs pulks izmuks.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee;
Un Jēkabs sacīja: tu mana tēva Ābrahāma Dievs, un mana tēva Īzaka Dievs, ak Kungs! Kas uz mani sacījis: griezies atpakaļ uz savu zemi un pie saviem radiem, un es tev gribu labu darīt,
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant: for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands.
Es esmu mazs pret visām apžēlošanām un pret visu uzticību, ko tu savam kalpam esi darījis. Jo ar savu spieķi es pār šo Jardāni esmu pārgājis un nu es esmu palicis par diviem pulkiem.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he shall come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
Izpestī mani lūdzams no mana brāļa rokas, no Ēsava rokas, jo es bīstos, ka tas nenāk un mani neapkauj, māti ar bērniem.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Tu esi sacījis: Es nemitēšos tev labu darīt un vairošu tavu dzimumu kā jūras smiltis, ko nevar izskaitīt aiz liela pulka.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother;
Un viņš palika tur to nakti un ņēma no tā, kas tam pie rokas bija, dāvanu priekš Ēsava, sava brāļa:
14 Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Divsimt kazas un divdesmit āžus, divsimt avis un divdesmit aunus,
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
Trīsdesmit zīdošas kamieļu mātes ar viņu kumeļiem, četrdesmit govis un desmit vēršus, divdesmit ēzeļu mātes un desmit kumeļus,
16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
Un deva tos savu kalpu rokā, ikkatru pulku atsevišķi, un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: ejat man papriekš un pametiet starpu starp pulku un pulku.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau, my brother, meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
Un viņš pavēlēja tam pirmajam sacīdams: kad Ēsavs, mans brālis, tevi sastaps un tev vaicās un sacīs: kam tu piederi un uz kurieni tu ej, un kam pieder še, kas tavā priekša?
18 Then thou shalt say, They [are] thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord Esau: and behold also he [is] behind us.
Tad tev būs sacīt: tie pieder tavam kalpam Jēkabam; tas sūta savam kungam Ēsavam dāvanu, un redzi, viņš pats ir arīdzan mums pakaļ.
19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
Un viņš pavēlēja arī tam otram un tam trešajam un visiem, kas tos lopus dzina sacīdams: pēc šiem vārdiem jums būs sacīt uz Ēsavu, kad to sastapsiet.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
Un jums būs arī sacīt: redzi, tavs kalps Jēkabs mums nāk pakaļ! Jo viņš domāja: es apmierināšu viņa vaigu ar šo dāvanu, kas man iet pa priekšu, un pēc es redzēšu viņa vaigu, kas zina, viņš mani pieņems.
21 So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Tad nu tā dāvana aizgāja viņam pa priekšu, bet viņš pats palika to nakti pie sava pulka.
22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Un viņš cēlās tanī naktī un ņēma savas divas sievas un savas divas kalpones un savus vienpadsmit bērnus, un gāja pie Jabokas brasla;
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
Un viņš tos ņēma un pārveda pār upi, un pārveda, kas tam bija; bet Jēkabs palika viens pats.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day.
Tad viens vīrs ar to cīnījās, līdz kamēr diena ausa.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh: and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Un kad Tas redzēja, ka viņu nepārspēja, tad Tas aizskāra viņa ciskas locekli, tā ka Jēkaba ciskas loceklis cīkstoties izgriezās.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh; And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Un Tas sacīja: palaid Mani, jo gaisma jau aust; bet viņš atbildēja: es Tevi nepalaidīšu, ja Tu mani nesvēti.
27 And he said to him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Un Tas uz viņu sacīja: kas tev vārdā? Un viņš sacīja: Jēkabs.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.
Tad Tas sacīja: tavu vārdu nebūs vairs saukt Jēkabu, bet Israēli; jo tu esi cīnījies ar Dievu un ar cilvēkiem un esi pārspējis.
29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name: And he said, why [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
Un Jēkabs vaicāja un sacīja: saki man jel Savu vārdu. Un Tas sacīja: kam tu jautā pēc Mana vārda? Un Tas viņu turpat svētīja.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Un Jēkabs nosauca tās vietas vārdu Pniēli: jo es esmu Dievu redzējis vaigu vaigā, un mana dvēsele ir izglābta.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Un saule tam uzlēca gar Pniēli aizejot. Un viņš bija klibs ar savu cisku.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew which shrunk, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrunk.
Tāpēc Israēla bērni līdz šai dienai neēd no dzīslas pie ciskas locekļa, tāpēc ka Jēkabam tā dzīsla pie ciskas locekļa tapa maitāta.
