Genesis 32
1 And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 And he said Jacob just when he saw them [is] [the] camp of God this and he called [the] name of the place that Mahanaim.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
4 And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
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 And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in eyes your.
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.'"
6 And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
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."
7 And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
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;
8 And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
9 And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
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,'
10 I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
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.
11 Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
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.
12 And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
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.'"
13 And he stayed [the] night there in the night that and he took some of which came in hand his a gift for Esau brother his.
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 Camels milking and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
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."
17 And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
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?'
18 And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
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.'"
19 And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
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.
20 And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
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."
21 And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one plus ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
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.
23 And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
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.
26 And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
27 And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
28 And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
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."
29 And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
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.
30 And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
32 There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
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.
