Gênesis 32
1 E foi também Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-no os anjos de Deus.
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exército de Deus. E chamou o nome daquele lugar Mahanaim.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, à terra de Seir, território de Edom.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 E ordenou-lhes, dizendo: Assim direis a meu senhor Esaú: Assim diz Jacob, teu servo: Como peregrino morei com Labão, e me detive lá até agora;
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob says thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 E tenho bois e jumentos, ovelhas, e servos e servas; e enviei para o anunciar a meu senhor, para que ache graça em teus olhos.
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your sight.
6 E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e também ele vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com ele.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Então Jacob temeu muito, e angustiou-se; e repartiu o povo que com ele estava, e as ovelhas, e as vacas, e os camelos, em dois bandos.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 Disse mais Jacob: Deus de meu pai Abraão, e Deus de meu pai Isaac, o Senhor, que me disseste: Torna-te à tua terra, e à tua parentela, e far-te-ei bem;
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which said to me, Return to your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:
10 Menor sou eu que todas as beneficências, e que toda a fidelidade que fizeste ao teu servo; porque com meu cajado passei este Jordão, e agora me tornei em dois bandos;
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which you have showed to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Livra-me, peço-te, da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú: porque o temo, que porventura não venha, e me fira, e a mãe com os filhos
Deliver me, I pray you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua semente como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 E passou ali aquela noite; e tomou do que lhe veio à sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vacas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 E deu-o na mão dos seus servos, cada rebanho à parte, e disse a seus servos: passai adiante da minha face, e ponde espaço entre rebanho e rebanho.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 E ordenou ao primeiro, dizendo: Quando Esaú, meu irmão, te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo: De quem és, e para onde vais, e cujos são estes diante da tua face,
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where go you? and whose are these before you?
18 Então dirás: São de teu servo Jacob, presente que envia a meu senhor, a Esaú; e eis que ele mesmo vem também atráz de nós
Then you shall say, They be your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 E ordenou também ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que vinham atráz dos rebanhos, dizendo: Conforme a esta mesma palavra, falareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 E direis também: Eis que o teu servo Jacob vem atráz de nós. Porque dizia: Eu o aplacarei com o presente, que vai diante de mim, e depois verei a sua face; porventura aceitará a minha face.
And say you moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; ele porém passou aquela noite no arraial.
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 E levantou-se aquela mesma noite, e tomou as suas duas mulheres, e as suas duas servas, e os seus onze filhos, e passou o vau de Jabbok.
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 E tomou-os, e fê-los passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 Jacob porém ficou só; e lutou com ele um varão, até que a alva subia.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 E vendo que não prevalecia contra ele, tocou a juntura de sua coxa, e se deslocou a juntura da coxa de Jacob, lutando com ele.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém ele disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
27 E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Jacob.
And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como príncipe lutaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
29 E Jacob lhe perguntou, e disse: Dá-me, peço-te, a saber o teu nome. E disse: Porque perguntas pelo meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Why is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 E chamou Jacob o nome daquele lugar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua coxa.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he halted on his thigh.
32 Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem o nervo encolhido, que está sobre a juntura da coxa, até o dia de hoje; porquanto tocara a juntura da coxa de Jacob no nervo encolhido.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
