Genesis 32
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
雅各仍旧行路， 神的使者遇见他。
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
雅各看见他们就说：“这是 神的军兵”，于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念。
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫，
4 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.
吩咐他们说：“你们对我主以扫说：‘你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，直到如今。
5 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.
我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在打发人来报告我主，为要在你眼前蒙恩。’”
6 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.
所打发的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。”
7 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.
雅各就甚惧怕，而且愁烦，便把那与他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、骆驼分做两队，
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
说：“以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。”
9 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.
雅各说：“耶和华—我祖亚伯拉罕的 神，我父亲以撒的 神啊，你曾对我说：‘回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。’
10 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.
你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实，我一点也不配得；我先前只拿着我的杖过这约旦河，如今我却成了两队了。
11 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.
求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手；因为我怕他来杀我，连妻子带儿女一同杀了。
12 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.
你曾说：‘我必定厚待你，使你的后裔如同海边的沙，多得不可胜数。’”
13 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
当夜，雅各在那里住宿，就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫：
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
奶崽子的骆驼三十只—各带着崽子，母牛四十只，公牛十只，母驴二十匹，驴驹十匹；
16 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.
每样各分一群，交在仆人手下，就对仆人说：“你们要在我前头过去，使群群相离，有空闲的地方”；
17 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?
又吩咐尽先走的说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，问你说：‘你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前头这些是谁的？’
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
你就说：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边。’”
19 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;
又吩咐第二、第三，和一切赶群畜的人说：“你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说；
20 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.
并且你们要说：‘你仆人雅各在我们后边。’”因雅各心里说：“我借着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他容纳我。”
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
于是礼物先过去了；那夜，雅各在队中住宿。
22 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.
他夜间起来，带着两个妻子，两个使女，并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口，
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。
25 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.
那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
26 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.
那人说：“天黎明了，容我去吧！”雅各说：“你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。”
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
那人说：“你名叫什么？”他说：“我名叫雅各。”
28 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.
那人说：“你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列；因为你与 神与人较力，都得了胜。”
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
雅各问他说：“请将你的名告诉我。”那人说：“何必问我的名？”于是在那里给雅各祝福。
30 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.
雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒，意思说：“我面对面见了 神，我的性命仍得保全。”
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
日头刚出来的时候，雅各经过毗努伊勒，他的大腿就瘸了。
32 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.
故此，以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋，直到今日，因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。
