Genesis 32
1 And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
A Jakov otide svojim putem; i sretoše ga anðeli Božiji;
2 And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
A kad ih ugleda Jakov, reèe: ovo je oko Božji. I prozva ono mjesto Mahanaim.
3 Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
I Jakov posla pred sobom glasnike k Isavu bratu svojemu u zemlju Sir, krajinu Edomsku.
4 And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
I zapovjedi im govoreæi: ovako kažite gospodaru mojemu Isavu: sluga tvoj Jakov ovako kaže: bio sam došljak kod Lavana i bavio se dosad.
5 And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
A imam volova i magaraca, ovaca i sluga i sluškinja, i poslah da javim tebi gospodaru svojemu, eda bih našao milost pred tobom.
6 When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
I vratiše se glasnici k Jakovu i rekoše mu: idosmo do brata tvojega Isava, i eto on ti ide na susret s èetiri stotine momaka.
7 Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
A Jakov se uplaši jako i zabrinu se; pa razdijeli svoje ljude i ovce i goveda i kamile u dvije èete.
8 And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
I reèe: ako Isav udari na jednu èetu i razbije je, da ako druga uteèe.
9 Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
I reèe Jakov: Bože oca mojega Avrama i Bože oca mojega Isaka, Gospode, koji si mi kazao: vrati se u zemlju svoju i u rod svoj, i ja æu ti biti dobrotvor!
10 I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
Nijesam vrijedan tolike milosti i tolike vjere što si uèinio sluzi svojemu; jer samo sa štapom svojim prijeðoh preko Jordana, a sada sam gospodar od dvije èete.
11 Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
Izbavi me iz ruke brata mojega, iz ruke Isavove, jer se bojim da ne doðe i ubije mene i mater s djecom.
12 And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
A ti si kazao: zaista ja æu ti biti dobrotvor, i uèiniæu sjeme tvoje da ga bude kao pijeska morskoga, koji se ne može izbrojiti od množine.
13 Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
I zanoæi ondje onu noæ, i uze što mu doðe do ruke, da pošlje na dar Isavu bratu svojemu,
14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
Dvjesta koza s dvadeset jaraca, dvjesta ovaca s dvadeset ovnova,
15 Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
Trideset kamila dojilica s kamiladma, èetrdeset krava s desetoro teladi, dvadeset magarica s desetoro magaradi.
16 These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
I predade ih slugama svojim, svako stado napose, i reèe slugama: idite naprijed preda mnom, ostavljajuæi dosta mjesta izmeðu jednoga stada i drugoga.
17 And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
I zapovjedi prvomu govoreæi: kad sreteš Isava brata mojega, pa te zapita: èiji si? i kuda ideš? i èije je to što goniš pred sobom?
18 Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
A ti reci: sluge tvojega Jakova, a ovo šalje na dar gospodaru svojemu Isavu, a eto i sam ide za nama.
19 And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
Tako zapovjedi i drugomu i treæemu i svijema koji iðahu za stadom, i reèe: tako kažite Isavu kad naiðete na nj.
20 And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
I još kažite: eto, Jakov sluga tvoj ide za nama. Jer govoraše: ublažiæu ga darom koji ide preda mnom, pa æu mu onda vidjeti lice, da ako me lijepo primi.
21 So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
Tako otide dar naprijed, a on prenoæi onu noæ kod èete svoje.
22 And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
I po noæi usta, i uze obje žene i dvije robinje i jedanaestoro djece svoje; i prebrodi brod Javok.
23 He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
A pošto njih uze i prevede preko potoka, preturi i ostalo što imaše.
24 Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
A kad osta Jakov sam, tada se jedan èovjek rvaše s njim do zore.
25 But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
I kad vidje da ga ne može svladati, udari ga po zglavku u stegnu, te se Jakovu išèaši stegno iz zglavka, kad se èovjek rvaše s njim.
26 And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
Pa onda reèe: pusti me, zora je. A Jakov mu reèe: neæu te pustiti dokle me ne blagosloviš.
27 Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
A èovjek mu reèe: kako ti je ime? A on odgovori: Jakov.
28 And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
Tada mu reèe: otsele se neæeš zvati Jakov, nego Izrailj; jer si se junaèki borio i s Bogom i s ljudma, i odolio si.
29 Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
A Jakov zapita i reèe: kaži mi kako je tebi ime. A on reèe: što pitaš kako mi je ime? I blagoslovi ga ondje.
30 And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
I Jakov nadjede ime onomu mjestu Fanuil; jer, veli, Boga vidjeh licem k licu, i duša se moja izbavi.
31 And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
I sunce mu se rodi kad proðe Fanuil, i hramaše na stegno svoje.
32 For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
Zato sinovi Izrailjevi ne jedu krajeva od mišiæa na zglavku u stegnu do današnjega dana, što se Jakovu povrijediše krajevi od mišiæa na zglavku u stegnu.
