Genesis 32
1 Likewise, Jacob continued on the journey that he had begun. And the Angels of God met him.
И Иаков иде в путь свой. И воззрев виде полк Божий воополчившийся: и сретоша его Ангели Божии.
2 When he had seen them, he said, “These are the Encampments of God.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, ‘Encampments.’
Рече же Иаков, егда виде их: полк Божий сей. И прозва имя месту тому Полки.
3 Then he also sent messengers before him to his brother Esau, in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
Посла же Иаков послы пред собою ко Исаву брату своему в землю Сиир, в страну Едом,
4 And he instructed them, saying: “You shall speak in this way to my lord Esau: ‘Your brother Jacob says these things: “I have sojourned with Laban, and I have been with him until the present day.
и заповеда им глаголя: тако рцыте господину моему Исаву: тако глаголет раб твой Иаков: у Лавана обитах и умедлих даже до ныне:
5 I have oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and men servants, and women servants. And now I send an ambassador to my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.”’”
и быша ми волове и ослы и овцы, и раби и рабыни: и послах поведати господину моему Исаву, дабы обрел раб твой благодать пред тобою.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We went to your brother Esau, and behold, he rushes to meet you with four hundred men.”
И возвратишася послы ко Иакову, глаголюще: ходихом ко брату твоему Исаву, и се, сам идет во сретение тебе, и четыриста мужей с ним.
7 Jacob was very afraid. And in his terror, he divided the people who were with him, likewise the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
Убояся же Иаков зело и в недоумении бе: и раздели люди сущыя с собою, и волы и велблюды и овцы на два полка,
8 saying: “If Esau goes to one company, and strikes it, the other company, which is left behind, will be saved.”
и рече Иаков: аще приидет Исав на един полк и изсечет и, будет вторый полк во спасении.
9 And Jacob said: “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me: ‘Return to your land, and to the place of your nativity, and I will do well for you.’
Рече же Иаков: Бог отца моего Авраама и Бог отца моего Исаака, Господи Боже, Ты рекий ми: иди в землю рождения твоего, и благо тебе сотворю:
10 I am less than any of your compassions and your truth, which you have fulfilled to your servant. With my staff I crossed over this Jordan. And now I go back with two companies.
довлеет ми от всея правды и от всея истины, юже сотворил еси рабу Твоему: с жезлом бо сим преидох Иордан сей, ныне же бех в два полка:
11 Rescue me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am very afraid of him, lest perhaps he may come and strike down the mother with the sons.
изми мя от руки брата моего, от руки Исава: яко боюся аз его, да не когда пришед убиет мя и матерь с чады:
12 You did say that you would do well by me, and that you would expand my offspring like the sand of the sea, which, because of its multitude, cannot be numbered.”
ты же рекл еси: благо тебе сотворю и положу семя твое яко песок морский, иже не изочтется от множества.
13 And when he had slept there that night, he separated, from the things that he had, gifts for his brother Esau:
И спа тамо нощи тоя, и взя, яже имяше дары, и посла Исаву брату своему:
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
коз двести, козлов двадесять, овец двести, овнов двадесять,
15 thirty milking camels with their young, forty cows, and twenty bulls, twenty she-donkeys, and ten of their young.
велблюдов дойных, и жребят их тридесять, волов четыредесять, юнцов десять, ослов двадесять и жребят десять:
16 And he sent them by the hands of his servants, each flock separately, and he said to his servants: “Pass before me, and let there be a space between flock and flock.”
и даде их рабом своим, (коеждо) стадо особо, и рече рабом своим: идите предо мною, и разстояние творите между стадом и стадом.
17 And he instructed the first, saying: “If you happen to meet my brother Esau, and he questions you: “Whose are you?” or, “Where are you going?” or, “Whose are these which follow you?”
И заповеда первому глаголя: аще тя срящет Исав брат мой и вопросит тя глаголя: чий еси, и камо идеши, и чия сия, яже пред тобою идут?
18 you shall respond: “Your servant Jacob’s. He has sent them as a gift to my lord Esau. And he is also coming after us.”
Речеши: раба твоего Иакова: дары посла господину моему Исаву: и се, сам за нами (идет).
19 Similarly, he gave orders to the second, and the third, and to all who followed the flocks, saying: “Speak these same words to Esau, when you find him.
И заповеда первому, и второму, и третиему, и всем предидущым вслед стад сих глаголя: по словеси сему глаголите Исаву, егда обрящете его вы,
20 And you will add: ‘Your servant Jacob himself also follows after us, for he said: “I will appease him with the gifts that go ahead, and after this, I will see him; perhaps he will be gracious to me.”’”
и рцыте: се, раб твой Иаков идет за нами: рече бо: укрощу лице его дарами предидущими его, и посем узрю лице его: негли бо приимет лице мое?
21 And so the gifts went before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
И предидяху дары пред лицем его, сам же преспа тоя нощи в полце.
22 And when he had arisen early, he took his two wives, and the same number of handmaids, with his eleven sons, and he crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
Востав же тоя нощи, поя обе жены (своя) и обе рабыни и единонадесять сынов своих, и прейде брод Иавок:
23 And having delivered over all the things that belonged to him,
и взя их, и прейде поток, и преведе вся своя.
24 he remained alone. And behold, a man wrestled with him until morning.
Остася же Иаков един. И боряшеся с ним Человек даже до утра.
25 And when he saw that he would not be able to overcome him, he touched the nerve of his thigh, and immediately it withered.
Виде же, яко не может противу ему: и прикоснуся широте стегна его: и отерпе широта стегна Иаковля, егда боряшеся с Ним.
26 And he said to him, “Release me, for now the dawn ascends.” He responded, “I will not release you, unless you bless me.”
И рече ему: пусти Мя: взыде бо заря. Он же рече: не пущу Тебе, аще не благословиши мене.
27 Therefore he said, “What is your name?” He answered, “Jacob.”
Рече же ему: что ти имя есть? Он же рече: Иаков.
28 But he said, “Your name will not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if you have been strong against God, how much more will you prevail against men?”
И рече ему: не прозовется ктому имя твое Иаков, но Исраиль будет имя твое: понеже укрепился еси с Богом и с человеки силен будеши.
29 Jacob questioned him, “Tell me, by what name are you called?” He responded, “Why do you ask my name?” And he blessed him in the same place.
Вопроси же Иаков и рече: повеждь ми имя Твое. И рече: вскую сие вопрошаеши ты имене Моего? Еже чудно есть. И благослови его тамо.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.”
И прозва Иаков имя месту тому Вид Божий: видех бо Бога лицем к лицу, и спасеся душа моя.
31 And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he had crossed beyond Peniel. Yet in truth, he limped on his foot.
Возсия же ему солнце, егда прейде Вид Божий: он же хромаше стегном своим.
32 For this reason, the sons of Israel, even to the present day, do not eat the nerve that withered in Jacob’s thigh, because he touched the nerve of his thigh and it was obstructed.
Сего ради не ядят сынове Израилевы жилы, яже отерпе, яже есть в широте стегна, даже до дне сего: понеже прикоснуся широте стегна Иаковли жилы, яже отерпе.
