Kejadian 32
1 Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya. Lalu beberapa malaikat datang menemui dia.
As Jacob and his family continued traveling, some angels, whom God sent, met him.
2 Ketika Yakub melihat mereka, ia berkata, "Ini perkemahan Allah," karena itu dinamakannya tempat itu Mahanaim.
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s army camp!” So he named that place Mahanaim, [which means ‘two camps’].
3 Setelah itu Yakub menyuruh beberapa utusan berjalan mendahului dia ke negeri Edom untuk menemui Esau, abangnya.
Jacob told some of the men to go ahead of him to his older brother Esau, who was living in Seir, the land where the descendants of Edom lived.
4 Yakub berkata kepada mereka, "Katakanlah kepada abang saya Esau begini, 'Saya Yakub, hambamu. Selama ini saya telah tinggal pada Laban.
He told them, “This is what I want you to say to Esau: 'I, Jacob, want to be your servant and I want you to be my master. I have been living with our uncle Laban, and I have stayed there until now.
5 Sekarang saya mempunyai sapi, keledai, domba, kambing dan hamba-hamba. Saya mengirimkan kabar kepada tuan saya, dengan harapan tuan saya akan senang.'"
I now own many cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and male and female slaves. Now I am sending this message to you, sir, hoping that you will (be friendly toward me/treat me kindly) when I arrive.’ “
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."
The messengers went and gave that message to Esau. When they returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your older brother Esau. Now he is coming to you, and 400 men are coming with him.”
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 worried. So he divided the people who were with him into two groups. He also divided the sheep and goats, the cattle, and the camels, into two groups.
8 Pikirnya, "Jika Esau datang dan menyerang kelompok yang pertama, maka kelompok kedua mungkin sempat menyelamatkan diri."
He was thinking, “If Esau and his men come and attack us, perhaps one of the groups will be left and will be able to escape.”
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.
Then Jacob prayed, “O Yahweh God, whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and my father Isaac worships, you said to me, ‘Go back to your own land and to your relatives, and I will (cause good things happen to/do good things 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 not worthy for you to have been so kind and faithful to me in so many ways, your servant. I had only this walking stick with me when I crossed the Jordan [River on my way to Haran], but now I am so wealthy that there are two large groups of my family and possessions.
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.
So now I pray that you will rescue me from [MTY] my [older] brother Esau, because I am afraid that he and his men will come and attack and kill me and the children and their mothers.
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."
But do not forget that you have said, ‘I will certainly enable you to prosper, and I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, which are so many that no one can count them.’”
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.
Jacob slept there that night. The next morning he selected some animals to give to his brother Esau.
He selected 200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,
30 female camels and their offspring, 40 cows and ten bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.
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."
He divided them into small herds, and put each herd into the care of one of his servants. He said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, one group at a time, and keep some space between each herd.”
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?'
He said to the servant who was going with the first group, “When my brother Esau meets you, and he asks you, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?’
18 Maka jawablah, 'Milik hambamu Yakub. Ia mengirim ini sebagai persembahan kepada Esau, tuannya. Hambamu Yakub sendiri sedang menyusul kami.'"
tell him, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. He has sent them to you as a gift, sir. And he is coming behind 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.
He also said the same thing to the servants who were taking care of the second and third groups, and to the other herdsmen. He said to them, “When you meet Esau, I want you to say to him the same thing that I told the first servant.
And be sure to say ‘Jacob, who wants to serve you, is coming behind us.’” Jacob told them to say that because he was thinking, “Perhaps these gifts that I am sending ahead of me will cause him to (act peacefully toward/stop being angry with) me. Then later, when I see him, perhaps he will be kind to me.”
21 Jadi ia mengirimkan lebih dahulu persembahan itu, sedangkan ia sendiri bermalam di perkemahan.
So the men taking the gifts [PRS] went ahead, but Jacob himself stayed in the camp that night.
22 Pada malam itu juga Yakub bangun lalu membawa kedua istrinya, kedua selirnya dan kesebelas anaknya, menyeberang Sungai Yabok.
Some time during that night, Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven sons and his daughter, and he sent them across the ford at the Jabbok River.
23 Setelah menyeberangkan mereka, ia kembali dan mengirim segala miliknya ke seberang.
After he had done that, he sent other slaves, carrying all his possessions, across the river.
24 Tetapi ia tinggal seorang diri. Maka datanglah seorang laki-laki bergumul dengan Yakub sampai menjelang pagi.
So Jacob was left there alone. But a man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
25 Ketika orang itu merasa bahwa ia tidak akan menang dalam pergumulan itu, dipukulnya Yakub pada pinggulnya, sampai sendi pinggul itu terkilir.
When the man realized that he was not winning against Jacob, he struck Jacob’s hip and caused the thigh bone to pull away from the hip socket.
26 Lalu kata orang itu, "Lepaskan aku; sebentar lagi matahari terbit." Jawab Yakub, "Saya tidak akan melepaskan Tuan, kecuali jika Tuan memberkati saya."
Then the man said, “Let me go, because it will soon be daylight.” [Then Jacob realized who he was really wrestling with]. So he replied, “No, if you will not bless me, I will not let you go!”
27 "Siapa namamu?" tanya orang itu. "Yakub," jawabnya.
The man said to him, “What is your name?” He replied, “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."
The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. Your name will be Israel, [which means ‘he struggles with God’, ] because you have struggled with God and with people, and you have won.”
29 Yakub berkata, "Katakanlah nama Tuan." Tetapi orang itu menjawab, "Tidak perlu engkau bertanya siapa namaku!" Lalu diberkatinya Yakub.
Jacob said, “Now, please tell me your name!” The man replied, “(Why do you ask me what my name is?/You should not have to ask me what my name is!)” [RHQ] But he blessed Jacob there.
30 Kemudian Yakub berkata, "Saya telah bertemu muka dengan Allah, dan saya masih hidup." Karena itu dinamakannya tempat itu Pniel.
So Jacob named the place Peniel, [which means ‘God’s face’, ] saying “I looked directly at God, but I did not die because of doing that.”
31 Pada waktu matahari terbit, Yakub meninggalkan Pniel, dan ia pincang karena sendi pinggulnya terkilir.
The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of what had happened to his hip.
32 Sampai sekarang pun keturunan Israel tidak makan daging yang menutupi sendi pinggul binatang, karena Yakub telah kena pukulan pada pinggulnya.
The muscle on his hip joint had been injured. So to this present time, because of what happened to Jacob, the Israeli people do not eat the muscle/tendon that is attached to the socket of the hips of animals.
