1 Mojzes 32
1 Jakob pa je odšel na svojo pot in Božji angeli so ga srečali.
And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
2 Ko jih je Jakob zagledal, je rekel: »To je Božja vojska« in ta kraj je imenoval Mahanájim.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
3 Jakob je pred seboj poslal poslance k svojemu bratu Ezavu v deželo Seír, Edómovo deželo.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to 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.
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
5 Imam vole, osle, trope, sluge in postrežnice. Poslal sem, da povem svojemu gospodu, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu.‹«
And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
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.«
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Potem je bil Jakob silno prestrašen in zaskrbljen. Razdelil je ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, trope, črede in kamele na dve četi
And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
8 in rekel: »Če pride Ezav k eni skupini in jo udari, potem bo druga skupina, ki je ostala, pobegnila.«
And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
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, ‹
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
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.
Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two 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.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
12 In ti praviš: ›Zagotovo ti bom storil dobro in tvojega semena naredil kakor morskega peska, ki zaradi množice ne more biti preštet.‹«
But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
13 To isto noč je tam prenočil in od tega, kar je prišlo v njegovo roko, je vzel darilo za svojega brata Ezava:
And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
14 dvesto koz in dvajset kozlov, dvesto ovc in dvajset ovnov,
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
15 trideset molznih kamel z njihovimi žrebeti, štirideset krav in deset bikov, dvajset oslic in deset žrebet.
milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
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.«
And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
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?‹
And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before 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 shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind 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.«
And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
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.‹«
and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
21 Tako je šlo darilo pred njim, sam pa je to noč prenočil v skupini.
So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 Vstal je to noč, vzel svoji dve ženi, svoji dve postrežnici, svojih enajst sinov in prečkal plitvino Jabók.
And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
23 Vzel jih je in jih poslal preko potoka in poslal čez, kar je imel.
And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
24 Jakob je ostal sam in z njim se je bojeval mož do dnevnega svita.
And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
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.
And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
26 Rekel je: »Pusti me, kajti dan se že svita.« [Jakob] je rekel: »Ne bom te izpustil, razen če me blagosloviš.«
And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
27 Rekel mu je: »Kako ti je ime?« Rekel je: »Jakob.«
And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
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.«
And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
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.
And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 Jakob je kraj poimenoval Penuél, kajti videl sem Boga iz obličja v obličje in moje življenje je ohranjeno.
And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
31 Ko je prečkal Penuél, je sonce vstajalo nad njim, on pa je šepal na svojem stegnu.
And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
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.
Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
