وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ وَلَاقَاهُ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ. ١ 1
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ إِذْ رَآهُمْ: «هَذَا جَيْشُ ٱللهِ!». فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «مَحَنَايِمَ». ٢ 2
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
وَأَرْسَلَ يَعْقُوبُ رُسُلًا قُدَّامَهُ إِلَى عِيسُوَ أَخِيهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلَادِ أَدُومَ، ٣ 3
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لَابَانَ وَلَبِثْتُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. ٤ 4
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.
وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي بَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَغَنَمٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ. وَأَرْسَلْتُ لِأُخْبِرَ سَيِّدِي لِكَيْ أَجِدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». ٥ 5
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.'"
فَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَيْنَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ، إِلَى عِيسُو، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا قَادِمٌ لِلِقَائِكَ، وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ». ٦ 6
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."
فَخَافَ يَعْقُوبُ جِدًّا وَضَاقَ بِهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ، فَقَسَمَ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَيْشَيْنِ. ٧ 7
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;
وَقَالَ: «إِنْ جَاءَ عِيسُو إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ وَضَرَبَهُ، يَكُونُ ٱلْجَيْشُ ٱلْبَاقِي نَاجِيًا». ٨ 8
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لِيَ: ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِكَ فَأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ. ٩ 9
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,'
صَغِيرٌ أَنَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ أَلْطَافِكَ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ. فَإِنِّي بِعَصَايَ عَبَرْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ صِرْتُ جَيْشَيْنِ. ١٠ 10
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.
نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَخِي، مِنْ يَدِ عِيسُوَ، لِأَنِّي خَائِفٌ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيَضْرِبَنِي ٱلْأُمَّ مَعَ ٱلْبَنِينَ. ١١ 11
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.
وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ لِلْكَثْرَةِ». ١٢ 12
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.'"
وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ وَأَخَذَ مِمَّا أَتَى بِيَدِهِ هَدِيَّةً لِعِيسُو أَخِيهِ: ١٣ 13
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْسًا، مِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشًا، ١٤ 14
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
ثَلَاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً وَأَوْلَادَهَا، أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ، عِشْرِينَ أَتَانًا وَعَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ، ١٥ 15
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
وَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ قَطِيعًا قَطِيعًا عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا قُدَّامِي وَٱجْعَلُوا فُسْحَةً بَيْنَ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ». ١٦ 16
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."
وَأَمَرَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا صَادَفَكَ عِيسُو أَخِي وَسَأَلَكَ قَائِلًا: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَلِمَنْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَكَ؟ ١٧ 17
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?'
تَقُولُ: لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ. هُوَ هَدِيَّةٌ مُرْسَلَةٌ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ، وَهَا هُوَ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». ١٨ 18
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.'"
وَأَمَرَ أَيْضًا ٱلْثَانِى وَٱلثَّالِثَ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ قَائِلًا: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تُكَلِّمُونَ عِيسُوَ حِينَمَا تَجِدُونَهُ، ١٩ 19
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.
وَتَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَسْتَعْطِفُ وَجْهَهُ بِٱلْهَدِيَّةِ ٱلسَّائِرَةِ أَمَامِي، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَهُ، عَسَى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ وَجْهِي». ٢٠ 20
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."
فَٱجْتَازَتِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةُ قُدَّامَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَبَاتَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ٢١ 21
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلَادَهُ ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَعَبَرَ مَخَاضَةَ يَبُّوقَ. ٢٢ 22
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.
أَخَذَهُمْ وَأَجَازَهُمُ ٱلْوَادِيَ، وَأَجَازَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ. ٢٣ 23
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
فَبَقِيَ يَعْقُوبُ وَحْدَهُ، وَصَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ. ٢٤ 24
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِهِ، فَٱنْخَلَعَ حُقُّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مُصَارَعَتِهِ مَعَهُ. ٢٥ 25
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.
وَقَالَ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَلَعَ ٱلْفَجْرُ». فَقَالَ: «لَا أُطْلِقُكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُبَارِكْنِي». ٢٦ 26
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَعْقُوبُ». ٢٧ 27
And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
فَقَالَ: «لَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ وَقَدَرْتَ». ٢٨ 28
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."
وَسَأَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي بِٱسْمِكَ». فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ٱسْمِي؟». وَبَارَكَهُ هُنَاكَ. ٢٩ 29
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.
فَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «فَنِيئِيلَ» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنِّي نَظَرْتُ ٱللهَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ، وَنُجِّيَتْ نَفْسِي». ٣٠ 30
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
وَأَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِذْ عَبَرَ فَنُوئِيلَ وَهُوَ يَخْمَعُ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ. ٣١ 31
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
لِذَلِكَ لَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِرْقَ ٱلنَّسَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى حُقِّ ٱلْفَخْذِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى عِرْقِ ٱلنَّسَا. ٣٢ 32
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.
