< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob went on his way; and the angels of God met him.
Un Jēkabs gāja savu ceļu, un Dieva eņģeļi to sastapa.
2 And when Jacob saw them he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Un šos redzēdams Jēkabs sacīja: tas ir Dieva karaspēks, - un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Mahānaīm.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir, the fields of Edom.
Un Jēkabs sūtīja vēstnešus savā priekšā pie Ēsava, sava brāļa, uz Seīra zemi, uz Edoma tiesu,
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord, to Esau: Thy servant Jacob speaks thus — With Laban have I sojourned and tarried until now;
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, sheep, and bondmen, and bondwomen; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in thine 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 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau; and he also is coming to meet thee, 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 greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops.
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 he said, If Esau come to the one troop and smite it, then the other troop which is left shall escape.
Un sacīja: ja Ēsavs uzbruks vienam pulkam un to apkaus, tad tas otrs pulks izmuks.
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah, who saidst unto me: Return into thy country and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,
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 too small for all the loving-kindness and all the faithfulness that thou hast shewn unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two troops.
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 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
Izpestī mani lūdzams no mana brāļa rokas, no Ēsava rokas, jo es bīstos, ka tas nenāk un mani neapkauj, māti ar bērniem.
12 And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Tu esi sacījis: Es nemitēšos tev labu darīt un vairošu tavu dzimumu kā jūras smiltis, ko nevar izskaitīt aiz liela pulka.
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother —
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 ewes, and twenty rams;
Divsimt kazas un divdesmit āžus, divsimt avis un divdesmit aunus,
15 thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twenty she-asses, and ten young asses.
Trīsdesmit zīdošas kamieļu mātes ar viņu kumeļiem, četrdesmit govis un desmit vēršus, divdesmit ēzeļu mātes un desmit kumeļus,
16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
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 commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?
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 thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he also is behind 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 so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, According to this word shall ye speak to Esau when ye find 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, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.
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 And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Tad nu tā dāvana aizgāja viņam pa priekšu, bet viņš pats palika to nakti pie sava pulka.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the 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 and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.
Un viņš tos ņēma un pārveda pār upi, un pārveda, kas tam bija; bet Jēkabs palika viens pats.
24 And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
Tad viens vīrs ar to cīnījās, līdz kamēr diena ausa.
25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
Un kad Tas redzēja, ka viņu nepārspēja, tad Tas aizskāra viņa ciskas locekli, tā ka Jēkaba ciskas loceklis cīkstoties izgriezās.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
Un Tas sacīja: palaid Mani, jo gaisma jau aust; bet viņš atbildēja: es Tevi nepalaidīšu, ja Tu mani nesvēti.
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Un Tas uz viņu sacīja: kas tev vārdā? Un viņš sacīja: Jēkabs.
28 And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.
Tad Tas sacīja: tavu vārdu nebūs vairs saukt Jēkabu, bet Israēli; jo tu esi cīnījies ar Dievu un ar cilvēkiem un esi pārspējis.
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.
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 called the name of the place Peniel — For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.
Un Jēkabs nosauca tās vietas vārdu Pniēli: jo es esmu Dievu redzējis vaigu vaigā, un mana dvēsele ir izglābta.
31 And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.
Un saule tam uzlēca gar Pniēli aizejot. Un viņš bija klibs ar savu cisku.
32 Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh — the sinew.
Tāpēc Israēla bērni līdz šai dienai neēd no dzīslas pie ciskas locekļa, tāpēc ka Jēkabam tā dzīsla pie ciskas locekļa tapa maitāta.
