Бытие 32
1 И Иаков иде в путь свой. И воззрев виде полк Божий воополчившийся: и сретоша его Ангели Божии.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Рече же Иаков, егда виде их: полк Божий сей. И прозва имя месту тому Полки.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Посла же Иаков послы пред собою ко Исаву брату своему в землю Сиир, в страну Едом,
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region 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:
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 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.
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 И возвратишася послы ко Иакову, глаголюще: ходихом ко брату твоему Исаву, и се, сам идет во сретение тебе, и четыриста мужей с ним.
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, 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 very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
8 и рече Иаков: аще приидет Исав на един полк и изсечет и, будет вторый полк во спасении.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will 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:
Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'
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 the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 изми мя от руки брата моего, от руки Исава: яко боюся аз его, да не когда пришед убиет мя и матерь с чады:
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
12 ты же рекл еси: благо тебе сотворю и положу семя твое яко песок морский, иже не изочтется от множества.
You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
13 И спа тамо нощи тоя, и взя, яже имяше дары, и посла Исаву брату своему:
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 коз двести, козлов двадесять, овец двести, овнов двадесять,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 велблюдов дойных, и жребят их тридесять, волов четыредесять, юнцов десять, ослов двадесять и жребят десять:
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 и даде их рабом своим, (коеждо) стадо особо, и рече рабом своим: идите предо мною, и разстояние творите между стадом и стадом.
He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
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?
He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?'
18 Речеши: раба твоего Иакова: дары посла господину моему Исаву: и се, сам за нами (идет).
Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is 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,
He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you 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?
You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
21 И предидяху дары пред лицем его, сам же преспа тоя нощи в полце.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed 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:
He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 и взя их, и прейде поток, и преведе вся своя.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 Остася же Иаков един. И боряшеся с ним Человек даже до утра.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 Виде же, яко не может противу ему: и прикоснуся широте стегна его: и отерпе широта стегна Иаковля, егда боряшеся с Ним.
When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
26 И рече ему: пусти Мя: взыде бо заря. Он же рече: не пущу Тебе, аще не благословиши мене.
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
27 Рече же ему: что ти имя есть? Он же рече: Иаков.
And he said to him, "What is your name?" 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.
Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have 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.
Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
30 И прозва Иаков имя месту тому Вид Божий: видех бо Бога лицем к лицу, и спасеся душа моя.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 Возсия же ему солнце, егда прейде Вид Божий: он же хромаше стегном своим.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
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, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
