Genesis 32
1 And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
Un Jēkabs gāja savu ceļu, un Dieva eņģeļi to sastapa.
2 And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
Un šos redzēdams Jēkabs sacīja: tas ir Dieva karaspēks, - un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Mahānaīm.
3 Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
Un Jēkabs sūtīja vēstnešus savā priekšā pie Ēsava, sava brāļa, uz Seīra zemi, uz Edoma tiesu,
4 And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
Un tiem pavēlēja un sacīja: tā jums būs sacīt manam kungam Ēsavam: tā saka tavs kalps Jēkabs: es esmu svešumā mitis pie Lābana un līdz šim tur palicis.
5 And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
Un man ir vērši un ēzeļi, avis un kalpi un kalpones, un es esmu sūtījis savam kungam vēstīt, lai es žēlastību tavās acīs atrodu.
6 When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
Un tie vēstneši griezās atpakaļ pie Jēkaba un sacīja: mēs nācām pie tava brāļa Ēsava, un viņš tev arīdzan iet pretī, un četrsimt vīri līdz ar viņu.
7 Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
Tad Jēkabs bijās ļoti un viņam bija bail, un viņš šķīra divējos pulkos tos ļaudis, kas tam bija, un tās avis un tos vēršus un tos kamieļus,
8 And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
Un sacīja: ja Ēsavs uzbruks vienam pulkam un to apkaus, tad tas otrs pulks izmuks.
9 Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
Un Jēkabs sacīja: tu mana tēva Ābrahāma Dievs, un mana tēva Īzaka Dievs, ak Kungs! Kas uz mani sacījis: griezies atpakaļ uz savu zemi un pie saviem radiem, un es tev gribu labu darīt,
10 I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
Es esmu mazs pret visām apžēlošanām un pret visu uzticību, ko tu savam kalpam esi darījis. Jo ar savu spieķi es pār šo Jardāni esmu pārgājis un nu es esmu palicis par diviem pulkiem.
11 Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
Izpestī mani lūdzams no mana brāļa rokas, no Ēsava rokas, jo es bīstos, ka tas nenāk un mani neapkauj, māti ar bērniem.
12 And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
Tu esi sacījis: Es nemitēšos tev labu darīt un vairošu tavu dzimumu kā jūras smiltis, ko nevar izskaitīt aiz liela pulka.
13 Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
Un viņš palika tur to nakti un ņēma no tā, kas tam pie rokas bija, dāvanu priekš Ēsava, sava brāļa:
14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
Divsimt kazas un divdesmit āžus, divsimt avis un divdesmit aunus,
15 Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
Trīsdesmit zīdošas kamieļu mātes ar viņu kumeļiem, četrdesmit govis un desmit vēršus, divdesmit ēzeļu mātes un desmit kumeļus,
16 These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
Un deva tos savu kalpu rokā, ikkatru pulku atsevišķi, un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: ejat man papriekš un pametiet starpu starp pulku un pulku.
17 And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
Un viņš pavēlēja tam pirmajam sacīdams: kad Ēsavs, mans brālis, tevi sastaps un tev vaicās un sacīs: kam tu piederi un uz kurieni tu ej, un kam pieder še, kas tavā priekša?
18 Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
Tad tev būs sacīt: tie pieder tavam kalpam Jēkabam; tas sūta savam kungam Ēsavam dāvanu, un redzi, viņš pats ir arīdzan mums pakaļ.
19 And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
Un viņš pavēlēja arī tam otram un tam trešajam un visiem, kas tos lopus dzina sacīdams: pēc šiem vārdiem jums būs sacīt uz Ēsavu, kad to sastapsiet.
20 And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
Un jums būs arī sacīt: redzi, tavs kalps Jēkabs mums nāk pakaļ! Jo viņš domāja: es apmierināšu viņa vaigu ar šo dāvanu, kas man iet pa priekšu, un pēc es redzēšu viņa vaigu, kas zina, viņš mani pieņems.
21 So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
Tad nu tā dāvana aizgāja viņam pa priekšu, bet viņš pats palika to nakti pie sava pulka.
22 And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
Un viņš cēlās tanī naktī un ņēma savas divas sievas un savas divas kalpones un savus vienpadsmit bērnus, un gāja pie Jabokas brasla;
23 He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
Un viņš tos ņēma un pārveda pār upi, un pārveda, kas tam bija; bet Jēkabs palika viens pats.
24 Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
Tad viens vīrs ar to cīnījās, līdz kamēr diena ausa.
25 But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
Un kad Tas redzēja, ka viņu nepārspēja, tad Tas aizskāra viņa ciskas locekli, tā ka Jēkaba ciskas loceklis cīkstoties izgriezās.
26 And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
Un Tas sacīja: palaid Mani, jo gaisma jau aust; bet viņš atbildēja: es Tevi nepalaidīšu, ja Tu mani nesvēti.
27 Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
Un Tas uz viņu sacīja: kas tev vārdā? Un viņš sacīja: Jēkabs.
28 And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
Tad Tas sacīja: tavu vārdu nebūs vairs saukt Jēkabu, bet Israēli; jo tu esi cīnījies ar Dievu un ar cilvēkiem un esi pārspējis.
29 Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
Un Jēkabs vaicāja un sacīja: saki man jel Savu vārdu. Un Tas sacīja: kam tu jautā pēc Mana vārda? Un Tas viņu turpat svētīja.
30 And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
Un Jēkabs nosauca tās vietas vārdu Pniēli: jo es esmu Dievu redzējis vaigu vaigā, un mana dvēsele ir izglābta.
31 And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
Un saule tam uzlēca gar Pniēli aizejot. Un viņš bija klibs ar savu cisku.
32 For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
Tāpēc Israēla bērni līdz šai dienai neēd no dzīslas pie ciskas locekļa, tāpēc ka Jēkabam tā dzīsla pie ciskas locekļa tapa maitāta.
