Genesis 32
1 And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
Iacob quoque abiit itinere quo cœperat: fueruntque ei obviam Angeli Dei.
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.'
Quos cum vidisset, ait: Castra Dei sunt hæc. et appellavit nomen loci illius Mahanaim, id est, Castra.
3 And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Misit autem et nuncios ante se ad Esau fratrem suum in terram Seir, in regionem Edom:
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;
præcepitque eis, dicens: Sic loquimini domino meo Esau: Hæc dicit frater tuus Iacob: Apud Laban peregrinatus sum, et fui usque in præsentem diem.
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.'
Habeo boves, et asinos, et oves, et servos, et ancillas: mittoque nunc legationem ad dominum meum, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo.
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;'
Reversique sunt nuncii ad Iacob, dicentes: Venimus ad Esau fratrem tuum, et ecce properat tibi in occursum cum quadringentis viris.
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,
Timuit Iacob valde: et perterritus divisit populum qui secum erat, greges quoque et oves et boves, et camelos in duas turmas,
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.'
dicens: Si venerit Esau ad unam turmam, et percusserit eam, alia turma, quæ relicta est, salvabitur.
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:
Dixitque Iacob: Deus patris mei Abraham, et Deus patris mei Isaac: Domine qui dixisti mihi: Revertere in terram tuam, et in locum nativitatis tuæ, et benefaciam tibi:
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.
minor sum cunctis miserationibus tuis, et veritate tua quam explevisti servo tuo. In baculo meo transivi Iordanem istum: et nunc cum duabus turmis regredior.
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;
Erue me de manu fratris mei Esau, quia valde eum timeo: ne forte veniens percutiat matrem cum filiis.
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.'
Tu locutus es quod benefaceres mihi, et dilatares semen meum sicut arenam maris, quæ præ multitudine numerari non potest.
13 And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother:
Cumque dormisset ibi nocte illa, separavit de his quæ habebat, munera Esau fratri suo,
14 she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
capras ducentas, hircos viginti, oves ducentas, et arietes viginti,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
camelos fœtas cum pullis suis triginta, vaccas quadraginta, et tauros viginti, asinas viginti, et pullos earum decem.
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.'
Et misit per manus servorum suorum singulos seorsum greges, dixitque pueris suis: Antecedite me, et sit spatium inter gregem et gregem.
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?
Et præcepit priori, dicens: Si obvium habueris fratrem meum Esau, et interrogaverit te, Cuius es? aut, Quo vadis? aut, Cuius sunt ista quæ sequeris?
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.'
respondebis: Servi tui Iacob, munera misit domino meo Esau: ipse quoque post nos venit.
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,
Similiter dedit mandata secundo, et tertio, et cunctis qui sequebantur greges, dicens: Iisdem verbis loquimini ad Esau, cum inveneritis eum.
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;'
Et addetis: Ipse quoque servus tuus Iacob iter nostrum insequitur: dixit enim: Placabo illum muneribus quæ præcedunt, et postea videbo illum, forsitan propitiabitur mihi.
21 and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
Præcesserunt itaque munera ante eum, ipse vero mansit nocte illa in castris.
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;
Cumque mature surrexisset, tulit duas uxores suas, et totidem famulas cum undecim filiis, et transivit vadum Iaboc.
23 and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
Traductisque omnibus quæ ad se pertinebant,
24 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
mansit solus: et ecce vir luctabatur cum eo usque mane.
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;
Qui cum videret quod eum superare non posset, tetigit nervum femoris eius, et statim emarcuit.
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.'
Dixitque ad eum: Dimitte me, iam enim ascendit aurora. Respondit: Non dimittam te, nisi benedixeris mihi.
27 And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
Ait ergo: Quod nomen est tibi? Respondit: Iacob.
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.'
At ille, Nequaquam, inquit, Iacob appellabitur nomen tuum, sed Israel: quoniam si contra Deum fortis fuisti, quanto magis contra homines prævalebis?
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.
Interrogavit eum Iacob: Dic mihi, quo appellaris nomine? Respondit: Cur quæris nomen meum? Et benedixit ei in eodem loco.
30 And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
Vocavitque Iacob nomen loci illius Phanuel, dicens: Vidi Deum facie ad faciem, et salva facta est anima mea.
31 and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Ortusque est ei statim sol, postquam transgressus est Phanuel: ipse vero claudicabat pede.
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.
Quam ob causam non comedunt nervum filii Israel, qui emarcuit in femore Iacob, usque in præsentem diem: eo quod tetigerit nervum femoris eius, et obstupuerit.
