1 Mojzes 32
1 Jakob pa je odšel na svojo pot in Božji angeli so ga srečali.
Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
2 Ko jih je Jakob zagledal, je rekel: »To je Božja vojska« in ta kraj je imenoval Mahanájim.
When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
3 Jakob je pred seboj poslal poslance k svojemu bratu Ezavu v deželo Seír, Edómovo deželo.
He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in the country of Edom.
4 Zapovedal jim je, rekoč: »Tako boste govorili mojemu gospodu Ezavu: ›Tvoj služabnik Jakob nam je rekel: ›Začasno sem bival z Labánom in tam ostal do sedaj.
He told them, “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau. Your servant Jacob sends you this message. I've been staying with Laban up till now,
5 Imam vole, osle, trope, sluge in postrežnice. Poslal sem, da povem svojemu gospodu, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu.‹«
and I have cattle and donkeys and sheep and goats, and male and female slaves. I've sent these messengers to explain this to you my lord, hoping you'll be pleased to see me.”
6 Poslanci so se vrnili k Jakobu, rekoč: »Prišli smo k tvojemu bratu Ezavu in tudi on prihaja, da te sreča in z njim štiristo mož.«
The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
7 Potem je bil Jakob silno prestrašen in zaskrbljen. Razdelil je ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, trope, črede in kamele na dve četi
When Jacob heard this, he was absolutely terrified. He split all the people with him, along with the sheep, goats, cattle, and camels, into two groups,
8 in rekel: »Če pride Ezav k eni skupini in jo udari, potem bo druga skupina, ki je ostala, pobegnila.«
saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
9 Jakob je rekel: »Oh, Bog mojega očeta Abrahama in Bog mojega očeta Izaka, Gospod, ki mi je rekel: ›Vrni se v svojo deželo in k svojemu sorodstvu in jaz bom dobro postopal s teboj, ‹
Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’
10 sam nisem vreden najmanjše od teh milosti in od vse resnice, ki si jo izkazal svojemu služabniku, kajti s svojo palico sem prečkal ta Jordan, sedaj pa sem narastel v dve četi.
I don't deserve all the trustworthy love and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I crossed the Jordan years ago with just my walking stick, and now I have two large camps.
11 Reši me, prosim te, iz roke mojega brata, iz Ezavove roke, kajti bojim se ga, da ne bi prišel in udaril mene in matere z otroki.
Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
12 In ti praviš: ›Zagotovo ti bom storil dobro in tvojega semena naredil kakor morskega peska, ki zaradi množice ne more biti preštet.‹«
You yourself told me, ‘I will definitely treat you well. I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore—too many to count.’”
13 To isto noč je tam prenočil in od tega, kar je prišlo v njegovo roko, je vzel darilo za svojega brata Ezava:
Jacob stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to his brother Esau:
14 dvesto koz in dvajset kozlov, dvesto ovc in dvajset ovnov,
200 female goats, 20 male goats; 200 ewes, 20 rams;
15 trideset molznih kamel z njihovimi žrebeti, štirideset krav in deset bikov, dvajset oslic in deset žrebet.
30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 10 male donkeys.
16 Izročil jih je v roko svojih služabnikov, vsako čredo posebej. Svojim služabnikom pa je rekel: »Prečkajte pred menoj in pustite prostor med čredo in čredo.«
He put his servants in charge of each of the separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep a good distance between the herds.”
17 Predvsem pa je naročil, rekoč: »Ko te sreča moj brat Ezav in te vpraša, rekoč: ›Čigav si? In kam greš? In čigavi so ti pred teboj?‹
He gave these instructions to those with the first herd: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who is your master, and where are you going, and whose are these animals with you?’
18 Tedaj boš rekel: › To so od tvojega služabnika Jakoba. To je darilo, poslano k mojemu gospodu Ezavu in glej, tudi on je za nami.‹«
you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following us.’”
19 In tako je ukazal drugemu in tretjemu in vsem, ki so sledili čredam, rekoč: »Na ta način boste govorili Ezavu, ko ga najdete.«
He gave the same instructions to those with the second and third and all the subsequent herds, telling them, “This what you are to say to Esau when he meets you.
20 Poleg tega recite: »Glej, tvoj služabnik Jakob je za nami. Kajti rekel je: ›Pomiril ga bom z darilom, ki gre pred menoj in zatem bom videl njegov obraz. Mogoče me bo sprejel.‹«
You must also tell him, ‘Your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob said to himself, “Maybe by sending these gifts on ahead Esau won't be angry with me and when I meet him he'll be kind to me.”
21 Tako je šlo darilo pred njim, sam pa je to noč prenočil v skupini.
So the gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at the camp.
22 Vstal je to noč, vzel svoji dve ženi, svoji dve postrežnici, svojih enajst sinov in prečkal plitvino Jabók.
He got up during the night and took his two wives and the two personal maids and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River at the ford.
23 Vzel jih je in jih poslal preko potoka in poslal čez, kar je imel.
After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
24 Jakob je ostal sam in z njim se je bojeval mož do dnevnega svita.
But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
25 Ko je videl, da zoper [Jakoba] ni prevladal, se je dotaknil vdrtine na njegovem stegnu. Vdrtina Jakobovega stegna je bila izpahnjena, kakor [bi] se z njim boril.
When the man realized he couldn't beat Jacob, he hit Jacob's hip socket and put it out of joint as he wrestled with him.
26 Rekel je: »Pusti me, kajti dan se že svita.« [Jakob] je rekel: »Ne bom te izpustil, razen če me blagosloviš.«
Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.
27 Rekel mu je: »Kako ti je ime?« Rekel je: »Jakob.«
“What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28 Rekel je: »Tvoje ime se ne bo več imenovalo Jakob, temveč Izrael, kajti kot princ si imel moč z Bogom in z ljudmi in si prevladal.«
“Jacob will no longer be you name,” said the man. “Instead you will be called Israel, because you fought with God and with men and you won.”
29 Jakob ga je vprašal in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, svoje ime.« Rekel je: »Zakaj je to, da me sprašuješ po mojem imenu?« In tam ga je blagoslovil.
“Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
30 Jakob je kraj poimenoval Penuél, kajti videl sem Boga iz obličja v obličje in moje življenje je ohranjeno.
Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
31 Ko je prečkal Penuél, je sonce vstajalo nad njim, on pa je šepal na svojem stegnu.
The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
32 Zato Izraelovi otroci ne jedo od kite, ki se krči, ki je na vdrtini stegna, do današnjega dne, ker se je dotaknil vdrtine Jakobovega stegna na kiti, ki se krči.
(That's why, even today, Israelites don't eat the thigh tendon attached to the hip socket, because that's where the man hit Jacob's hip socket.)
