Gênesis 32
1 E Jacó se foi seu caminho, e saíram-lhe ao encontro anjos de Deus.
And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
2 E disse Jacó quando os viu: Este é o acampamento de Deus; e chamou o nome daquele lugar Maanaim.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
3 E enviou Jacó mensageiros diante de si a Esaú seu irmão, à terra de Seir, campo de Edom.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
4 E mandou-lhes dizendo: Assim direis a mim senhor Esaú: Assim diz teu servo Jacó: Com Labão morei, e detive-me até agora;
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
5 E tenho vacas, e asnos, e ovelhas, e servos, e servas; e envio a dizê-lo a meu senhor, para achar favor em teus olhos.
And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
6 E os mensageiros voltaram a Jacó, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú, e ele também veio a receber-te, e quatrocentos homens com ele.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Então Jacó teve grande temor, e angustiou-se; e partiu o povo que tinha consigo, e as ovelhas e as vacas e os camelos, em dois grupos;
And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
8 E disse: Se vier Esaú a um grupo e o ferir, o outro grupo escapará.
And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
9 E disse Jacó: Deus de meu pai Abraão, e Deus de meu pai Isaque, o SENHOR, que me disseste: Volta-te à tua terra e à tua parentela, e eu te farei bem.
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
10 Menor sou que todas as misericórdias, e que toda a verdade que usaste para com teu servo; que com meu bordão passei este Jordão, e agora estou sobre dois grupos.
Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
11 Livra-me agora da mão de meu irmão, da mão de Esaú, porque o temo; não venha talvez, e me fira a mãe com os filhos.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
12 E tu disseste: Eu te farei bem, e tornarei tua descendência como a areia do mar, que não se pode contar de tão numerosa.
But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
13 E dormiu ali aquela noite, e tomou do que lhe veio à mão um presente para seu irmão Esaú.
And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
14 Duzentas cabras e vinte machos de bode, duzentas ovelhas e vinte carneiros,
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
15 Trinta camelas de cria, com seus filhotes, quarenta vacas e dez novilhos, vinte asnas e dez jumentos.
milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
16 E entregou-o em mão de seus servos, cada manada à parte; e disse a seus servos: Passai diante de mim, e ponde espaço entre manada e manada.
And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 E mandou ao primeiro, dizendo: Se meu irmão Esaú te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo De quem és? E: Para onde vais? E: para quem é isto que levas diante de ti?
And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
18 Então dirás: Presente é de teu servo Jacó, que envia a meu senhor Esaú; e eis que também ele vem atrás de nós.
You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
19 E mandou também ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que iam atrás aquelas manadas, dizendo: Conforme isto falareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
20 E direis também: Eis que teu servo Jacó vem atrás de nós. Porque disse: Apaziguarei sua ira com o presente que vai adiante de mim, e depois verei seu rosto; talvez lhe serei aceito.
and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
21 E passou o presente adiante dele; e ele dormiu aquela noite no acampamento.
So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 E levantou-se aquela noite, e tomou suas duas mulheres, e suas duas servas, e seus onze filhos, e passou o vau de Jaboque.
And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
23 Tomou-os, pois, e passou-os o ribeiro, e fez passar o que tinha.
And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
24 E ficou Jacó sozinho, e lutou com ele um homem até que raiava a alva.
And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
25 E quando viu que não podia com ele, tocou no lugar da juntura de sua coxa, e desconjuntou-se a coxa de Jacó enquanto com ele lutava.
And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
26 E disse: Deixa-me, que raia a alva. E ele disse: Não te deixarei, se não me abençoares.
And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
27 E ele lhe disse: Qual é teu nome? E ele respondeu: Jacó.
And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
28 E ele disse: Não se dirá mais teu nome Jacó, mas sim Israel: porque lutaste com Deus e com os homens, e venceste.
And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
29 Então Jacó lhe perguntou, e disse: Declara-me agora teu nome. E ele respondeu: Por que perguntas por meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.
And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 E chamou Jacó o nome daquele lugar Peniel: porque vi a Deus face a face, e foi livrada minha alma.
And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
31 E saiu-lhe o sol quando passou a Peniel; e andava mancando de sua coxa.
And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Por isto até o dia de hoje os filhos de Israel não comem do tendão que se contrai, o qual está na juntura da coxa; porque o homem tocou a Jacó este lugar de sua coxa no tendão que se contrai.
Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
