< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
A Jakov otide svojim putem; i sretoše ga anðeli Božiji;
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.'
A kad ih ugleda Jakov, reèe: ovo je oko Božji. I prozva ono mjesto Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
I Jakov posla pred sobom glasnike k Isavu bratu svojemu u zemlju Sir, krajinu Edomsku.
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 zapovjedi im govoreæi: ovako kažite gospodaru mojemu Isavu: sluga tvoj Jakov ovako kaže: bio sam došljak kod Lavana i bavio se dosad.
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.'
A imam volova i magaraca, ovaca i sluga i sluškinja, i poslah da javim tebi gospodaru svojemu, eda bih našao milost pred tobom.
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;'
I vratiše se glasnici k Jakovu i rekoše mu: idosmo do brata tvojega Isava, i eto on ti ide na susret s èetiri 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,
A Jakov se uplaši jako i zabrinu se; pa razdijeli svoje ljude i ovce i goveda i kamile u dvije èete.
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.'
I reèe: ako Isav udari na jednu èetu i razbije je, da ako druga uteèe.
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:
I reèe Jakov: Bože oca mojega Avrama i Bože oca mojega Isaka, Gospode, koji si mi kazao: vrati se u zemlju svoju i u rod svoj, i ja æu ti biti dobrotvor!
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.
Nijesam vrijedan tolike milosti i tolike vjere što si uèinio sluzi svojemu; jer samo sa štapom svojim prijeðoh preko Jordana, a sada sam gospodar od dvije èete.
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 iz ruke brata mojega, iz ruke Isavove, jer se bojim da ne doðe i ubije mene i mater s djecom.
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.'
A ti si kazao: zaista ja æu ti biti dobrotvor, i uèiniæu sjeme tvoje da ga bude kao pijeska morskoga, koji se ne može izbrojiti od 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:
I zanoæi ondje onu noæ, i uze što mu doðe do ruke, da pošlje na dar Isavu bratu svojemu,
14 she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
Dvjesta koza s dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca s dvadeset ovnova,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
Trideset kamila dojilica s kamiladma, èetrdeset krava s desetoro teladi, dvadeset magarica s desetoro magaradi.
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.'
I predade ih slugama svojim, svako stado napose, i reèe slugama: idite naprijed preda mnom, ostavljajuæi dosta mjesta izmeðu jednoga stada i drugoga.
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?
I zapovjedi prvomu govoreæi: kad sreteš Isava brata mojega, pa te zapita: èiji si? i kuda ideš? i èije je to što goniš pred sobom?
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.'
A ti reci: sluge tvojega Jakova, a ovo šalje na dar gospodaru svojemu Isavu, a eto i sam ide 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 zapovjedi i drugomu i treæemu i svijema koji iðahu za stadom, i reèe: tako kažite Isavu kad naiðete na nj.
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;'
I još kažite: eto, Jakov sluga tvoj ide za nama. Jer govoraše: ublažiæu ga darom koji ide preda mnom, pa æu mu onda vidjeti lice, da ako me lijepo primi.
21 and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
Tako otide dar naprijed, a on prenoæi onu noæ kod èete svoje.
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;
I po noæi usta, i uze obje žene i dvije robinje i jedanaestoro djece svoje; i prebrodi brod Javok.
23 and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
A pošto njih uze i prevede preko potoka, preturi i ostalo što imaše.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
A kad osta Jakov sam, tada se jedan èovjek rvaše s njim do zore.
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;
I kad vidje da ga ne može svladati, udari ga po zglavku u stegnu, te se Jakovu išèaši stegno iz zglavka, kad se èovjek rvaše s njim.
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.'
Pa onda reèe: pusti me, zora je. A Jakov mu reèe: neæu te pustiti dokle me ne blagosloviš.
27 And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
A èovjek mu reèe: kako ti je ime? A on 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.'
Tada mu reèe: otsele se neæeš zvati Jakov, nego Izrailj; jer si se junaèki borio i s Bogom i s ljudma, i odolio 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.
A Jakov zapita i reèe: kaži mi kako je tebi ime. A on reèe: što pitaš kako mi je ime? I blagoslovi ga ondje.
30 And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
I Jakov nadjede ime onomu mjestu Fanuil; jer, veli, Boga vidjeh licem k licu, i duša se moja izbavi.
31 and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
I sunce mu se rodi kad proðe Fanuil, i hramaše na stegno svoje.
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 sinovi Izrailjevi ne jedu krajeva od mišiæa na zglavku u stegnu do današnjega dana, što se Jakovu povrijediše krajevi od mišiæa na zglavku u stegnu.
