Gênesis 32
1 E foi tambem Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-o os anjos de Deus.
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.
When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” 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.
Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field 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;
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed 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.
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your 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.
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are 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 was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will 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;
Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
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 loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
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
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers 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.
You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 E passou ali aquella noite; e tomou do que lhe veiu á sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
two hundred female goats and twenty male 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 milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys 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.
He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
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,
He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
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 you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also 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.
He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you 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.
You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21 Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; elle porém passou aquella noite no arraial.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
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.
He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 E tomou-os, e fel-os passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Jacob porém ficou só; e luctou com elle um varão, até que a alva subia.
Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there 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.
When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém elle disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E elle disse: Jacob.
He said to him, “What is your name?” 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.
He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have 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.
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So 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.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “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.
The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of 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 don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
