Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and there met him angels of God.
E foi também Jacob o seu caminho, e encontraram-no os anjos de Deus.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is a host of God; and he called the name of that place Machanayim.
E Jacob disse, quando os viu: Este é o exército de Deus. E chamou o nome daquele lugar Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
E enviou Jacob mensageiros diante da sua face a Esaú seu irmão, à terra de Seir, território de Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord, to Esau, Thus hath said thy servant Jacob, With Laban have I sojourned, and stayed until now.
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;
5 And I have acquired oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants; and I send now to tell my lord, to find grace in thy eyes.
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.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
E os mensageiros tornaram a Jacob, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú; e também ele vem a encontrar-te, e quatrocentos varões com ele.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he felt distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two bands.
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.
8 And he said, If Esau should come to the one band and smite it, then the other band which is left may escape.
Porque dizia: Se Esaú vier a um bando, e o ferir, o outro bando escapará.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy birthplace, and I will deal well with thee:
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;
10 I am not worthy of all the kindness, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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;
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, the mother with the children.
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
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
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.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and he took of that which he carried with him a present for Esau his brother:
E passou ali aquela noite; e tomou do que lhe veio à sua mão, um presente para seu irmão Esaú:
14 Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams.
Duzentas cabras, e vinte bodes; duzentas ovelhas, e vinte carneiros;
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals.
Trinta camelas de leite com suas crias, quarenta vacas, e dez novilhos; vinte jumentas, e dez jumentinhos;
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said unto his servants, Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
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.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother should meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither art thou going? and for whom are these before thee?
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,
18 Then shalt thou say, They belong to thy servant, to Jacob; it is a present sent unto my lord, to Esau; and, behold, also, he is himself behind us.
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
19 And so he commanded also the second, also the third, as also all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
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.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, also thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will receive me kindly.
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.
21 The present went thus on before him; and he lodged himself that night in the camp.
Assim passou o presente diante da sua face; ele porém passou aquela noite no arraial.
22 And he rose up that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.
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.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream and sent over what he had.
E tomou-os, e fê-los passar o ribeiro; e fez passar tudo o que tinha.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jacob porém ficou só; e lutou com ele um varão, até que a alva subia.
25 And when he saw that he could net prevail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him.
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.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day hath dawned. And he said, I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me.
E disse: Deixa-me ir, porque já a alva subiu. Porém ele disse: Não te deixarei ir, se me não abençoares.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? and he said, Jacob.
E disse-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Jacob.
28 And he said, Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Então disse: Não se chamará mais o teu nome Jacob, mas Israel: pois como príncipe lutaste com Deus, e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
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.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen an angel of God face to face, and my life hath been preserved.
E chamou Jacob o nome daquele lugar Peniel, porque dizia: Tenho visto a Deus face a face, e a minha alma foi salva.
31 And the sun rose unto him as he passed by Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
E saiu-lhe o sol, quando passou a Penuel; e manquejava da sua coxa.
32 Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
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.
