1 Mojzes 32
1 Jakob pa je odšel na svojo pot in Božji angeli so ga srečali.
Jacob went on his way, 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.
When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Jakob je pred seboj poslal poslance k svojemu bratu Ezavu v deželo Seír, Edómovo deželo.
Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field 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 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 Imam vole, osle, trope, sluge in postrežnice. Poslal sem, da povem svojemu gospodu, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu.‹«
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour 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.«
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 Potem je bil Jakob silno prestrašen in zaskrbljen. Razdelil je ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, trope, črede in kamele na dve četi
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 in rekel: »Če pride Ezav k eni skupini in jo udari, potem bo druga skupina, ki je ostala, pobegnila.«
He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
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 said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, 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.
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 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 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 In ti praviš: ›Zagotovo ti bom storil dobro in tvojega semena naredil kakor morskega peska, ki zaradi množice ne more biti preštet.‹«
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 To isto noč je tam prenočil in od tega, kar je prišlo v njegovo roko, je vzel darilo za svojega brata Ezava:
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 dvesto koz in dvajset kozlov, dvesto ovc in dvajset ovnov,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 trideset molznih kamel z njihovimi žrebeti, štirideset krav in deset bikov, dvajset oslic in deset žrebet.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
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 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 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 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 Tedaj boš rekel: › To so od tvojega služabnika Jakoba. To je darilo, poslano k mojemu gospodu Ezavu in glej, tudi on je za nami.‹«
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 In tako je ukazal drugemu in tretjemu in vsem, ki so sledili čredam, rekoč: »Na ta način boste govorili Ezavu, ko ga najdete.«
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 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 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 Tako je šlo darilo pred njim, sam pa je to noč prenočil v skupini.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Vstal je to noč, vzel svoji dve ženi, svoji dve postrežnici, svojih enajst sinov in prečkal plitvino Jabók.
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 Vzel jih je in jih poslal preko potoka in poslal čez, kar je imel.
He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Jakob je ostal sam in z njim se je bojeval mož do dnevnega svita.
Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
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 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 Rekel je: »Pusti me, kajti dan se že svita.« [Jakob] je rekel: »Ne bom te izpustil, razen če me blagosloviš.«
The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Rekel mu je: »Kako ti je ime?« Rekel je: »Jakob.«
He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “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.«
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 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.
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 Jakob je kraj poimenoval Penuél, kajti videl sem Boga iz obličja v obličje in moje življenje je ohranjeno.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Ko je prečkal Penuél, je sonce vstajalo nad njim, on pa je šepal na svojem stegnu.
The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of 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 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.
