Бытие 32
1 И Иаков иде в путь свой. И воззрев виде полк Божий воополчившийся: и сретоша его Ангели Божии.
And Jacob went on his way, and there met him angels of God.
2 Рече же Иаков, егда виде их: полк Божий сей. И прозва имя месту тому Полки.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is a host of God; and he called the name of that place Machanayim.
3 Посла же Иаков послы пред собою ко Исаву брату своему в землю Сиир, в страну Едом,
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 и заповеда им глаголя: тако рцыте господину моему Исаву: тако глаголет раб твой Иаков: у Лавана обитах и умедлих даже до ныне:
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord, to Esau, Thus hath said thy servant Jacob, With Laban have I sojourned, and stayed until now.
5 и быша ми волове и ослы и овцы, и раби и рабыни: и послах поведати господину моему Исаву, дабы обрел раб твой благодать пред тобою.
And I have acquired oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants; and I send now to tell my lord, to find grace in thy eyes.
6 И возвратишася послы ко Иакову, глаголюще: ходихом ко брату твоему Исаву, и се, сам идет во сретение тебе, и четыриста мужей с ним.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Убояся же Иаков зело и в недоумении бе: и раздели люди сущыя с собою, и волы и велблюды и овцы на два полка,
Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he felt distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two bands.
8 и рече Иаков: аще приидет Исав на един полк и изсечет и, будет вторый полк во спасении.
And he said, If Esau should come to the one band and smite it, then the other band which is left may escape.
9 Рече же Иаков: Бог отца моего Авраама и Бог отца моего Исаака, Господи Боже, Ты рекий ми: иди в землю рождения твоего, и благо тебе сотворю:
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy birthplace, and I will deal well with thee:
10 довлеет ми от всея правды и от всея истины, юже сотворил еси рабу Твоему: с жезлом бо сим преидох Иордан сей, ныне же бех в два полка:
I am not worthy of all the kindness, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 изми мя от руки брата моего, от руки Исава: яко боюся аз его, да не когда пришед убиет мя и матерь с чады:
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, the mother with the children.
12 ты же рекл еси: благо тебе сотворю и положу семя твое яко песок морский, иже не изочтется от множества.
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 И спа тамо нощи тоя, и взя, яже имяше дары, и посла Исаву брату своему:
And he lodged there that same night; and he took of that which he carried with him a present for Esau his brother:
14 коз двести, козлов двадесять, овец двести, овнов двадесять,
Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams.
15 велблюдов дойных, и жребят их тридесять, волов четыредесять, юнцов десять, ослов двадесять и жребят десять:
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals.
16 и даде их рабом своим, (коеждо) стадо особо, и рече рабом своим: идите предо мною, и разстояние творите между стадом и стадом.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said unto his servants, Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 И заповеда первому глаголя: аще тя срящет Исав брат мой и вопросит тя глаголя: чий еси, и камо идеши, и чия сия, яже пред тобою идут?
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother should meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither art thou going? and for whom are these before thee?
18 Речеши: раба твоего Иакова: дары посла господину моему Исаву: и се, сам за нами (идет).
Then shalt thou say, They belong to thy servant, to Jacob; it is a present sent unto my lord, to Esau; and, behold, also, he is himself behind us.
19 И заповеда первому, и второму, и третиему, и всем предидущым вслед стад сих глаголя: по словеси сему глаголите Исаву, егда обрящете его вы,
And so he commanded also the second, also the third, as also all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 и рцыте: се, раб твой Иаков идет за нами: рече бо: укрощу лице его дарами предидущими его, и посем узрю лице его: негли бо приимет лице мое?
And say ye moreover, Behold, also 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 receive me kindly.
21 И предидяху дары пред лицем его, сам же преспа тоя нощи в полце.
The present went thus on before him; and he lodged himself that night in the camp.
22 Востав же тоя нощи, поя обе жены (своя) и обе рабыни и единонадесять сынов своих, и прейде брод Иавок:
And he rose up that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.
23 и взя их, и прейде поток, и преведе вся своя.
And he took them, and sent them over the stream and sent over what he had.
24 Остася же Иаков един. И боряшеся с ним Человек даже до утра.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 Виде же, яко не может противу ему: и прикоснуся широте стегна его: и отерпе широта стегна Иаковля, егда боряшеся с Ним.
And when he saw that he could net prevail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him.
26 И рече ему: пусти Мя: взыде бо заря. Он же рече: не пущу Тебе, аще не благословиши мене.
And he said, Let me go, for the day hath dawned. And he said, I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me.
27 Рече же ему: что ти имя есть? Он же рече: Иаков.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? and he said, Jacob.
28 И рече ему: не прозовется ктому имя твое Иаков, но Исраиль будет имя твое: понеже укрепился еси с Богом и с человеки силен будеши.
And he said, Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 Вопроси же Иаков и рече: повеждь ми имя Твое. И рече: вскую сие вопрошаеши ты имене Моего? Еже чудно есть. И благослови его тамо.
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 И прозва Иаков имя месту тому Вид Божий: видех бо Бога лицем к лицу, и спасеся душа моя.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen an angel of God face to face, and my life hath been preserved.
31 Возсия же ему солнце, егда прейде Вид Божий: он же хромаше стегном своим.
And the sun rose unto him as he passed by Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Сего ради не ядят сынове Израилевы жилы, яже отерпе, яже есть в широте стегна, даже до дне сего: понеже прикоснуся широте стегна Иаковли жилы, яже отерпе.
Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
