Pirmā Mozus 32
1 Un Jēkabs gāja savu ceļu, un Dieva eņģeļi to sastapa.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Un šos redzēdams Jēkabs sacīja: tas ir Dieva karaspēks, - un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Mahānaīm.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Un Jēkabs sūtīja vēstnešus savā priekšā pie Ēsava, sava brāļa, uz Seīra zemi, uz Edoma tiesu,
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
4 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.
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 Un man ir vērši un ēzeļi, avis un kalpi un kalpones, un es esmu sūtījis savam kungam vēstīt, lai es žēlastību tavās acīs atrodu.
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 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.
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 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,
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 Un sacīja: ja Ēsavs uzbruks vienam pulkam un to apkaus, tad tas otrs pulks izmuks.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
9 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,
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 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.
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 Izpestī mani lūdzams no mana brāļa rokas, no Ēsava rokas, jo es bīstos, ka tas nenāk un mani neapkauj, māti ar bērniem.
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 Tu esi sacījis: Es nemitēšos tev labu darīt un vairošu tavu dzimumu kā jūras smiltis, ko nevar izskaitīt aiz liela pulka.
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 Un viņš palika tur to nakti un ņēma no tā, kas tam pie rokas bija, dāvanu priekš Ēsava, sava brāļa:
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 Divsimt kazas un divdesmit āžus, divsimt avis un divdesmit aunus,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 Trīsdesmit zīdošas kamieļu mātes ar viņu kumeļiem, četrdesmit govis un desmit vēršus, divdesmit ēzeļu mātes un desmit kumeļus,
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 Un deva tos savu kalpu rokā, ikkatru pulku atsevišķi, un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: ejat man papriekš un pametiet starpu starp pulku un pulku.
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 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?
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 Tad tev būs sacīt: tie pieder tavam kalpam Jēkabam; tas sūta savam kungam Ēsavam dāvanu, un redzi, viņš pats ir arīdzan mums pakaļ.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Tad nu tā dāvana aizgāja viņam pa priekšu, bet viņš pats palika to nakti pie sava pulka.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Un viņš cēlās tanī naktī un ņēma savas divas sievas un savas divas kalpones un savus vienpadsmit bērnus, un gāja pie Jabokas brasla;
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 Un viņš tos ņēma un pārveda pār upi, un pārveda, kas tam bija; bet Jēkabs palika viens pats.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 Tad viens vīrs ar to cīnījās, līdz kamēr diena ausa.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 Un kad Tas redzēja, ka viņu nepārspēja, tad Tas aizskāra viņa ciskas locekli, tā ka Jēkaba ciskas loceklis cīkstoties izgriezās.
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 Un Tas sacīja: palaid Mani, jo gaisma jau aust; bet viņš atbildēja: es Tevi nepalaidīšu, ja Tu mani nesvēti.
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 Un Tas uz viņu sacīja: kas tev vārdā? Un viņš sacīja: Jēkabs.
And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
28 Tad Tas sacīja: tavu vārdu nebūs vairs saukt Jēkabu, bet Israēli; jo tu esi cīnījies ar Dievu un ar cilvēkiem un esi pārspējis.
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 Un Jēkabs vaicāja un sacīja: saki man jel Savu vārdu. Un Tas sacīja: kam tu jautā pēc Mana vārda? Un Tas viņu turpat svētīja.
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 Un Jēkabs nosauca tās vietas vārdu Pniēli: jo es esmu Dievu redzējis vaigu vaigā, un mana dvēsele ir izglābta.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 Un saule tam uzlēca gar Pniēli aizejot. Un viņš bija klibs ar savu cisku.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
32 Tāpēc Israēla bērni līdz šai dienai neēd no dzīslas pie ciskas locekļa, tāpēc ka Jēkabam tā dzīsla pie ciskas locekļa tapa maitāta.
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.
