And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
5 j’ai des bœufs, des ânes, des brebis, des serviteurs et des servantes, et j’envoie l’annoncer à mon seigneur, pour trouver grâce à tes yeux.
And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in view your.

And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
7 Jacob fut très effrayé, et saisi d’angoisse. Il partagea en deux camps les gens qui étaient avec lui, les brebis, les bœufs et les chameaux;
And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
8 et il dit: Si Ésaü vient contre l’un des camps et le bat, le camp qui restera pourra se sauver.
And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
9 Jacob dit: Dieu de mon père Abraham, Dieu de mon père Isaac, Éternel, qui m’as dit: Retourne dans ton pays et dans ton lieu de naissance, et je te ferai du bien!
And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
10 Je suis trop petit pour toutes les grâces et pour toute la fidélité dont tu as usé envers ton serviteur; car j’ai passé ce Jourdain avec mon bâton, et maintenant je forme deux camps.
I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
11 Délivre-moi, je te prie, de la main de mon frère, de la main d’Ésaü! Car je crains qu’il ne vienne, et qu’il ne me frappe, avec la mère et les enfants.
Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
12 Et toi, tu as dit: Je te ferai du bien, et je rendrai ta postérité comme le sable de la mer, si abondant qu’on ne saurait le compter.
And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
13 C’est dans ce lieu-là que Jacob passa la nuit. Il prit de ce qu’il avait sous la main, pour faire un présent à Ésaü, son frère:

Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
16 Il les remit à ses serviteurs, troupeau par troupeau séparément, et il dit à ses serviteurs: Passez devant moi, et mettez un intervalle entre chaque troupeau.
And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
17 Il donna cet ordre au premier: Quand Ésaü, mon frère, te rencontrera, et te demandera: A qui es-tu? Où vas-tu? Et à qui appartient ce troupeau devant toi?
And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
18 tu répondras: A ton serviteur Jacob; c’est un présent envoyé à mon seigneur Ésaü; et voici, il vient lui-même derrière nous.
And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
19 Il donna le même ordre au second, au troisième, et à tous ceux qui suivaient les troupeaux: C’est ainsi que vous parlerez à mon seigneur Ésaü, quand vous le rencontrerez.
And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
20 Vous direz: Voici, ton serviteur Jacob vient aussi derrière nous. Car il se disait: Je l’apaiserai par ce présent qui va devant moi; ensuite je le verrai en face, et peut-être m’accueillera-t-il favorablement.
And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
21 Le présent passa devant lui; et il resta cette nuit-là dans le camp.
And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
22 Il se leva la même nuit, prit ses deux femmes, ses deux servantes, et ses onze enfants, et passa le gué de Jabbok.
And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one [plus] ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
23 Il les prit, leur fit passer le torrent, et le fit passer à tout ce qui lui appartenait.
And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
24 Jacob demeura seul. Alors un homme lutta avec lui jusqu’au lever de l’aurore.
And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
25 Voyant qu’il ne pouvait le vaincre, cet homme le frappa à l’emboîture de la hanche; et l’emboîture de la hanche de Jacob se démit pendant qu’il luttait avec lui.
And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
26 Il dit: Laisse-moi aller, car l’aurore se lève. Et Jacob répondit: Je ne te laisserai point aller, que tu ne m’aies béni.
And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
27 Il lui dit: Quel est ton nom? Et il répondit: Jacob.
And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
28 Il dit encore: Ton nom ne sera plus Jacob, mais tu seras appelé Israël; car tu as lutté avec Dieu et avec des hommes, et tu as été vainqueur.
And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
29 Jacob l’interrogea, en disant: Fais-moi je te prie, connaître ton nom. Il répondit: Pourquoi demandes-tu mon nom? Et il le bénit là.
And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
30 Jacob appela ce lieu du nom de Peniel: car, dit-il, j’ai vu Dieu face à face, et mon âme a été sauvée.
And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
31 Le soleil se levait, lorsqu’il passa Peniel. Jacob boitait de la hanche.
And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
32 C’est pourquoi jusqu’à ce jour, les enfants d’Israël ne mangent point le tendon qui est à l’emboîture de la hanche; car Dieu frappa Jacob à l’emboîture de la hanche, au tendon.
There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
