Gênesis 32
1 E foi tambem Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-o os anjos de Deus.
AND Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exercito de Deus. E chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Mahanaim.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, á terra de Seir, territorio de Edom.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 E ordenou-lhes, dizendo: Assim direis a meu senhor Esaú: Assim diz Jacob, teu servo: Como peregrino morei com Labão, e me detive lá até agora;
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o annunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e tambem elle vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com elle.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com elle estava, e as ovelhas, e as vaccas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pae Abrahão, e Deus de meu pae Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te á tua terra, e á tua parentela, e far-te-hei bem;
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 Menor sou eu que todas as beneficencias, e que toda a fidelidade que fizeste ao teu servo; porque com meu cajado passei este Jordão, e agora me tornei em dois bandos;
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Livra-me, peço-te, da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú: porque o temo, que porventura não venha, e me fira, e a mãe com os filhos
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua semente como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 E passou ali aquella noite; e tomou do que lhe veiu á sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vaccas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho á parte, e disse a seus servos: Passae adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vaes, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18 Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que elle mesmo vem tambem atraz de nós
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 E ordenou tambem ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atraz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, fallareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 E direis tambem: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atraz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vae diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura acceitará a minha face.
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; elle porém passou aquella noite no arraial.
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 E levantou-se aquella mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o váo de Jabbok.
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 E tomou-os, e fel-os passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 Jacob porém ficou só; e luctou com elle um varão, até que a alva subia.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 E vendo que não prevalecia contra elle, tocou a juntura de sua côxa, e se deslocou a juntura da côxa de Jacob, luctando com elle.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém elle disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: Jacob.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como principe luctaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 E Jacob lhe perguntou, e disse: Dá-me, peço-te, a saber o teu nome. E disse: Porque perguntas pelo meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 E chamou Jacob o nome d'aquelle logar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua côxa.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da côxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da côxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
