Kejadian 32
1 Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya. Lalu beberapa malaikat datang menemui dia.
Likewise, Jacob continued on the journey that he had begun. And the Angels of God met him.
2 Ketika Yakub melihat mereka, ia berkata, "Ini perkemahan Allah," karena itu dinamakannya tempat itu Mahanaim.
When he had seen them, he said, “These are the Encampments of God.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, ‘Encampments.’
3 Setelah itu Yakub menyuruh beberapa utusan berjalan mendahului dia ke negeri Edom untuk menemui Esau, abangnya.
Then he also sent messengers before him to his brother Esau, in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
4 Yakub berkata kepada mereka, "Katakanlah kepada abang saya Esau begini, 'Saya Yakub, hambamu. Selama ini saya telah tinggal pada Laban.
And he instructed them, saying: “You shall speak in this way to my lord Esau: ‘Your brother Jacob says these things: “I have sojourned with Laban, and I have been with him until the present day.
5 Sekarang saya mempunyai sapi, keledai, domba, kambing dan hamba-hamba. Saya mengirimkan kabar kepada tuan saya, dengan harapan tuan saya akan senang.'"
I have oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and men servants, and women servants. And now I send an ambassador to my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.”’”
6 Ketika para utusan kembali lagi kepada Yakub, mereka berkata, "Kami telah pergi kepada Esau, abang Tuan dan sekarang ia dalam perjalanan kemari untuk menemui Tuan. Ia datang dengan empat ratus orang."
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We went to your brother Esau, and behold, he rushes to meet you with four hundred men.”
7 Mendengar itu Yakub sangat ketakutan dan khawatir. Lalu orang-orang yang ada bersamanya dibaginya menjadi dua kelompok, demikian pula dombanya, kambingnya, sapi dan untanya.
Jacob was very afraid. And in his terror, he divided the people who were with him, likewise the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
8 Pikirnya, "Jika Esau datang dan menyerang kelompok yang pertama, maka kelompok kedua mungkin sempat menyelamatkan diri."
saying: “If Esau goes to one company, and strikes it, the other company, which is left behind, will be saved.”
9 Kemudian Yakub berdoa, "Ya Allah, yang dipuja oleh kakek saya Abraham, dan ayah saya Ishak, dengarkanlah saya! TUHAN telah menyuruh saya pulang kembali ke negeri saya dan sanak saudara saya. Dan TUHAN berjanji akan mengatur segala sesuatu dengan baik bagi saya.
And Jacob said: “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me: ‘Return to your land, and to the place of your nativity, and I will do well for you.’
10 Saya tidak layak menerima segala kasih dan kesetiaan yang sudah TUHAN tunjukkan kepada saya. Ketika saya berangkat menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, saya tidak membawa apa-apa selain tongkat. Sekarang saya datang kembali dengan dua kelompok ini.
I am less than any of your compassions and your truth, which you have fulfilled to your servant. With my staff I crossed over this Jordan. And now I go back with two companies.
11 Saya mohon dengan sangat, selamatkanlah saya dari abang saya Esau. Saya takut jangan-jangan ia datang menyerang dan membinasakan kami semua, juga wanita dan anak-anak.
Rescue me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am very afraid of him, lest perhaps he may come and strike down the mother with the sons.
12 Ingatlah bahwa TUHAN telah berjanji akan mengatur segala sesuatu dengan baik bagi saya dan memberi kepada saya banyak keturunan. Tidak seorang pun dapat menghitungnya karena banyaknya seperti pasir di pantai laut."
You did say that you would do well by me, and that you would expand my offspring like the sand of the sea, which, because of its multitude, cannot be numbered.”
13 Setelah bermalam di situ, Yakub mengambil sebagian dari binatang-binatang untuk dihadiahkan kepada Esau. Hadiah itu berupa: dua ratus kambing betina, dua puluh kambing jantan, dua ratus domba betina, dua puluh domba jantan, tiga puluh unta yang sedang menyusui, bersama anaknya, empat puluh sapi betina, sepuluh sapi jantan, dua puluh keledai betina dan sepuluh keledai jantan.
And when he had slept there that night, he separated, from the things that he had, gifts for his brother Esau:
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
thirty milking camels with their young, forty cows, and twenty bulls, twenty she-donkeys, and ten of their young.
16 Dibagi-baginya binatang-binatang itu menjadi beberapa kelompok lalu masing-masing diserahkannya kepada seorang hambanya. Katanya kepada mereka, "Berjalanlah mendahului aku, dan jagalah supaya ada jarak antara kelompok yang satu dengan kelompok yang berikutnya."
And he sent them by the hands of his servants, each flock separately, and he said to his servants: “Pass before me, and let there be a space between flock and flock.”
17 Yakub memerintahkan kepada hamba yang pertama, "Jika abangku Esau bertemu denganmu, dan bertanya, 'Siapa tuanmu? Mau ke mana? Siapakah pemilik binatang-binatang yang kamu giring itu?'
And he instructed the first, saying: “If you happen to meet my brother Esau, and he questions you: “Whose are you?” or, “Where are you going?” or, “Whose are these which follow you?”
18 Maka jawablah, 'Milik hambamu Yakub. Ia mengirim ini sebagai persembahan kepada Esau, tuannya. Hambamu Yakub sendiri sedang menyusul kami.'"
you shall respond: “Your servant Jacob’s. He has sent them as a gift to my lord Esau. And he is also coming after us.”
19 Kepada hambanya yang kedua, ketiga dan semua orang yang ditugaskan mengurus kawanan-kawanan itu, diberinya perintah yang sama. Sebab Yakub berpikir ia dapat membujuk Esau dengan persembahan itu, sehingga kalau bertemu nanti, Esau mau memaafkan dia.
Similarly, he gave orders to the second, and the third, and to all who followed the flocks, saying: “Speak these same words to Esau, when you find him.
And you will add: ‘Your servant Jacob himself also follows after us, for he said: “I will appease him with the gifts that go ahead, and after this, I will see him; perhaps he will be gracious to me.”’”
21 Jadi ia mengirimkan lebih dahulu persembahan itu, sedangkan ia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
And so the gifts went before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 Pada malam itu juga Yakub bangun lalu membawa kedua istrinya, kedua selirnya dan kesebelas anaknya, menyeberang Sungai Yabok.
And when he had arisen early, he took his two wives, and the same number of handmaids, with his eleven sons, and he crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 Setelah menyeberangkan mereka, ia kembali dan mengirim segala miliknya ke seberang.
And having delivered over all the things that belonged to him,
24 Tetapi ia tinggal seorang diri. Maka datanglah seorang laki-laki bergumul dengan Yakub sampai menjelang pagi.
he remained alone. And behold, a man wrestled with him until morning.
25 Ketika orang itu merasa bahwa ia tidak akan menang dalam pergumulan itu, dipukulnya Yakub pada pinggulnya, sampai sendi pinggul itu terkilir.
And when he saw that he would not be able to overcome him, he touched the nerve of his thigh, and immediately it withered.
26 Lalu kata orang itu, "Lepaskan aku; sebentar lagi matahari terbit." Jawab Yakub, "Saya tidak akan melepaskan Tuan, kecuali jika Tuan memberkati saya."
And he said to him, “Release me, for now the dawn ascends.” He responded, “I will not release you, unless you bless me.”
27 "Siapa namamu?" tanya orang itu. "Yakub," jawabnya.
Therefore he said, “What is your name?” He answered, “Jacob.”
28 Orang itu berkata, "Namamu bukan Yakub lagi. Engkau telah bergumul dengan Allah dan dengan manusia, dan engkau menang; karena itu namamu menjadi Israel."
But he said, “Your name will not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if you have been strong against God, how much more will you prevail against men?”
29 Yakub berkata, "Katakanlah nama Tuan." Tetapi orang itu menjawab, "Tidak perlu engkau bertanya siapa namaku!" Lalu diberkatinya Yakub.
Jacob questioned him, “Tell me, by what name are you called?” He responded, “Why do you ask my name?” And he blessed him in the same place.
30 Kemudian Yakub berkata, "Saya telah bertemu muka dengan Allah, dan saya masih hidup." Karena itu dinamakannya tempat itu Pniel.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.”
31 Pada waktu matahari terbit, Yakub meninggalkan Pniel, dan ia pincang karena sendi pinggulnya terkilir.
And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he had crossed beyond Peniel. Yet in truth, he limped on his foot.
32 Sampai sekarang pun keturunan Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pinggul binatang, karena Yakub telah kena pukulan pada pinggulnya.
For this reason, the sons of Israel, even to the present day, do not eat the nerve that withered in Jacob’s thigh, because he touched the nerve of his thigh and it was obstructed.
