Genesis 32
1 And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
Jakov je putovao svojim putem, kad mu u susret izađu anđeli Božji.
2 and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, 'This [is] the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place 'Two Camps.'
Kad ih Jakov opazi, reče: “Ovo je Božje taborište!” Zato nazva ono mjesto Mahanajim.
3 And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Jakov pošalje pred sobom glasnike svome bratu Ezavu u zemlju Seir, u Edomsku pustaru,
4 and commandeth them, saying, 'Thus do ye say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and I tarry until now;
i naloži im: “Ovako ćete reći mome gospodaru Ezavu: 'Sluga tvoj Jakov poručuje ti: Boravio sam kod Labana i dosad se ondje zadržao.
5 and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'
Stekao sam goveda, magaradi, ovaca, sluga i sluškinja. Javljam to svome gospodaru, ne bih li našao naklonost u njegovim očima.'”
6 And the messengers turn back unto Jacob, saying, 'We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him;'
Glasnici se vrate Jakovu te mu reknu: “Bili smo kod tvoga brata Ezava; on sam dolazi ti u susret sa četiri stotine momaka.”
7 and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
Jakov se silno uplaši. U zabrinutosti rastavi na dva tabora ljude, stada, krda i deve što ih je sa sobom imao.
8 and saith, 'If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have smitten it — then the camp which is left hath been for an escape.'
Računao je: ako Ezav naiđe na jedan tabor i napadne ga, drugi bi se tabor mogao spasiti.
9 And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:
Onda se Jakov pomoli: “O Bože oca moga Abrahama! Bože oca moga Izaka! O Jahve, koji si mi naredio: 'Vrati se u svoj rodni kraj, i ja ću ti biti dobrostiv!'
10 I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant — for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
Nisam vrijedan sve dobrote koju si tako postojano iskazivao svome sluzi. TÓa samo sam sa svojim štapom nekoć prešao ovaj Jordan, a sad sam narastao u dva tabora.
11 'Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me — mother beside sons;
Izbavi me od šaka moga brata, od šaka Ezavovih! Inače se bojim da bi mogao doći i umlatiti i mene, i majke, i djecu.
12 and Thou — Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'
Ti si rekao: 'Obilnim ću te dobrima obasipati i tvoje potomstvo umnožiti poput pijeska u moru koji se ne da prebrojiti zbog množine.'”
13 And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother:
Ondje provede onu noć; a onda, od onog što je imao pri ruci, pripravi dar svome bratu Ezavu:
14 she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
dvjesta koza i dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca i dvadeset ovnova;
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
trideset deva dojilica s njihovim mladima; četrdeset krava i deset junaca; dvadeset magarica i deset magaraca.
16 and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.'
Stado po stado preda svojim slugama. Onda reče svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, ali držite razmak među stadima!”
17 And he commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
A prvom izda naredbu rekavši: “Kad te sretne moj brat Ezav pa te upita: 'Čiji si ti? Kamo ideš? Čije je ovo pred tobom?'
18 then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind us.'
odgovori: 'Tvoga sluge Jakova; ovo je dar koji šalje svome gospodaru Ezavu; on je tamo za nama.'”
19 And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him,
Tako je naredio i drugome, pa trećemu i svima drugima koji su išli za stadima: “Ovo i ovako reci Ezavu kad ga sretneš.
20 and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'
Još mu dodaj: 'A sluga tvoj Jakov i sam je za nama.'” Mislio je naime: “Ako ga unaprijed udobrostivim darovima, a onda se s njim suočim, možda će mi oprostiti.”
21 and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
Tako darovi krenu naprijed, dok je on ostao one noći u taborištu.
22 And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of Jabbok;
One noći on ustane, uzme svoje obje žene, obje svoje sluškinje i svoje jedanaestero djece te prijeđe Jabok preko gaza.
23 and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
Prebacivši njih na drugu stranu toka, prebaci zatim i ostalo što bijaše njegovo.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
Jakov ostane sam. I neki se čovjek rvao s njim dok nije zora svanula.
25 and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with him;
Videći da ga ne može svladati, ugane mu bedro pri zglobu, tako da se Jakovu kuk iščašio dok su se rvali.
26 and he saith, 'Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, 'I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'
Potom reče: “Pusti me jer zora sviće!” Ali on odgovori: “Neću te pustiti dok me ne blagosloviš.”
27 And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
Nato ga onaj zapita: “Kako ti je ime?” Odgovori: “Jakov.”
28 And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
Onaj reče. “Više se nećeš zvati Jakov nego Izrael, jer si se hrabro borio i s Bogom i s ljudima i nadvladao si.”
29 And Jacob asketh, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, 'Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth him there.
Onda zapita Jakov: “Reci mi svoje ime!” Odgovori onaj: “Za moje me ime ne smiješ pitati!” I tu ga blagoslovi.
30 And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
Onom mjestu Jakov nadjene ime Penuel jer - reče - “Vidjeh Boga licem u lice, i na životu ostadoh.”
31 and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Sunce je nad njim bilo ogranulo kad je prošao Penuel. Hramao je zbog kuka.
32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
Zato Izraelci do današnjeg dana ne jedu kukovnu tetivu što se nalazi na bedrenom zglobu, budući da je Jakovljev bedreni zglob bio iščašen u kukovnoj tetivi.
