Genesis 32
1 As Jacob and his family continued traveling, some angels, whom God sent, met him.
Тогава Яков отиде по пътя си и ангели Божии го срещнаха.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s army camp!” So he named that place Mahanaim, [which means ‘two camps’].
А като ги видя, Яков рече: Това е Божие войнство; и наименува мястото Маханаим.
3 Jacob told some of the men to go ahead of him to his older brother Esau, who was living in Seir, the land where the descendants of Edom lived.
И Яков изпрати пред себе си вестители до брата си Исава в Сирийската земя, на местността Едом;
4 He told them, “This is what I want you to say to Esau: 'I, Jacob, want to be your servant and I want you to be my master. I have been living with our uncle Laban, and I have stayed there until now.
и заръча им, казвайки: Така да речете на господаря ми Исава: Слугата ти Яков тъй говори: Бях пришелец при Лавана и бавих се до сега;
5 I now own many cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and male and female slaves. Now I am sending this message to you, sir, hoping that you will (be friendly toward me/treat me kindly) when I arrive.’ “
придобих говеда, осли и, слуги и слугини; и изпратих да известят на господаря ми, за да придобия благоволението ти.
6 The messengers went and gave that message to Esau. When they returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your older brother Esau. Now he is coming to you, and 400 men are coming with him.”
А вестителите се върнаха при Якова и казаха: Ходихме при брата ти Исава; а и той иде да те посрещне, и четиристотин мъже с него.
7 Jacob was very afraid and worried. So he divided the people who were with him into two groups. He also divided the sheep and goats, the cattle, and the camels, into two groups.
А Яков, като се уплаши много и се смути, раздели людете, които бяха с него, и стадата, говедата и камилите, на две дружини, казвайки:
8 He was thinking, “If Esau and his men come and attack us, perhaps one of the groups will be left and will be able to escape.”
Ако налети Исав на едната дружина и я удари, останалата дружина ще се избави.
9 Then Jacob prayed, “O Yahweh God, whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and my father Isaac worships, you said to me, ‘Go back to your own land and to your relatives, and I will (cause good things happen to/do good things for) you.’
Тогава Яков каза: Боже на баща ми Авраам и Боже на баща ми Исаака, Господи, Който си ми рекъл: Върни се в отечеството си и при рода си, и Аз ще ти сторя добро,
10 I am not worthy for you to have been so kind and faithful to me in so many ways, your servant. I had only this walking stick with me when I crossed the Jordan [River on my way to Haran], but now I am so wealthy that there are two large groups of my family and possessions.
не съм достоен за най-малката от всичките милости и от всичката вярност, които си показал на слугата си; защото едвам с тоягата си преминах тоя Иордан, а сега станах и два стана.
11 So now I pray that you will rescue me from [MTY] my [older] brother Esau, because I am afraid that he and his men will come and attack and kill me and the children and their mothers.
Избави ме, моля Ти се, от ръката на брата ми, от ръката на Исава; защото се боя от него, да не би като дойде, да порази и мен, и майка с чада.
12 But do not forget that you have said, ‘I will certainly enable you to prosper, and I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, which are so many that no one can count them.’”
А Ти си казал: Наистина ще ти сторя добро и ще направя потомството ти като морския пясък, който поради множеството си не може да се изброи.
13 Jacob slept there that night. The next morning he selected some animals to give to his brother Esau.
Като пренощува там оная нощ, взе от онова, що му дойде под ръка, за подарък на брата си Исава:
14 He selected 200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,
двеста кози и двадесет козли, двеста овци и двадесет овни,
15 30 female camels and their offspring, 40 cows and ten bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.
тридесет дойни камили с малките им, четиридесет крави и десет юнци, двадесет ослици и десет жречбета,
16 He divided them into small herds, and put each herd into the care of one of his servants. He said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, one group at a time, and keep some space between each herd.”
и предаде всяко стадо отделно, в ръцете на слугите си. И рече на слугите си: Минете пред мене и оставете разстояние между едно стадо и друго.
17 He said to the servant who was going with the first group, “When my brother Esau meets you, and he asks you, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?’
На първия заръча, като каза: Когато те срещне брат ми Исав и те попита, казвайки: Чий си? Къде отиваш? Чии са тия пред тебе?
18 tell him, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. He has sent them to you as a gift, sir. And he is coming behind us.’”
Тогава ще кажеш: Те са на слугата ти Якова; подарък е, който изпраща на господаря ми Исава; и той иде подир нас.
19 He also said the same thing to the servants who were taking care of the second and third groups, and to the other herdsmen. He said to them, “When you meet Esau, I want you to say to him the same thing that I told the first servant.
Така заръча и на втория, на третия и на всичките, които вървяха подир стадата, като казваше: По тоя начин ще говорите на Исава, когато го срещнете;
20 And be sure to say ‘Jacob, who wants to serve you, is coming behind us.’” Jacob told them to say that because he was thinking, “Perhaps these gifts that I am sending ahead of me will cause him to (act peacefully toward/stop being angry with) me. Then later, when I see him, perhaps he will be kind to me.”
и ще речете: Ето, слугата ти Яков иде подир нас. Защото си думаше: Ще го умилостивя с подаръка, който върви пред мене и после ще видя лицето му; може би ще ме приеме благосклонно.
21 So the men taking the gifts [PRS] went ahead, but Jacob himself stayed in the camp that night.
И тъй, подаръкът мина пред него, но той остана през оная нощ в стана.
22 Some time during that night, Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven sons and his daughter, and he sent them across the ford at the Jabbok River.
А като стана през нощта, взе двете си жени, двете си слугини и единадесетте си деца, и премина брода на Яков.
23 After he had done that, he sent other slaves, carrying all his possessions, across the river.
Взе ги и ги прекара през потока, прекара и всичко, що имаше.
24 So Jacob was left there alone. But a man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
А Яков остана сам. И един човек се бореше с него до зазоряване,
25 When the man realized that he was not winning against Jacob, he struck Jacob’s hip and caused the thigh bone to pull away from the hip socket.
който, като видя, че не му надви, допря се до ставата на бедрото му; и ставата на Якововото бедро се измести, като се бореше с него.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, because it will soon be daylight.” [Then Jacob realized who he was really wrestling with]. So he replied, “No, if you will not bless me, I will not let you go!”
Тогава човекът рече: Пусни ме да си отида, защото се зазори. А Яков каза: Няма да те пусна да си отидеш, догде не ме благословиш
27 The man said to him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Jacob.”
А той му каза: Как ти е името? Отговори: Яков.
28 The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. Your name will be Israel, [which means ‘he struggles with God’, ] because you have struggled with God and with people, and you have won.”
А той рече: Няма да се именуваш вече Яков, но Израил, защото си бил в борба с Бога и с човеци и си надвил.
29 Jacob said, “Now, please tell me your name!” The man replied, “(Why do you ask me what my name is?/You should not have to ask me what my name is!)” [RHQ] But he blessed Jacob there.
А Яков го попита, като рече: Кажи ми, моля, твоето име. А той рече: Защо питаш за моето име? И благоволи го там.
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, [which means ‘God’s face’, ] saying “I looked directly at God, but I did not die because of doing that.”
И Яков наименува мястото Фануил, защото, си казваше: Видях Бога лице с лице и животът ми биде опазен.
31 The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of what had happened to his hip.
Слънцето го огря, като заминаваше Фануил; и куцаше с бедрото си.
32 The muscle on his hip joint had been injured. So to this present time, because of what happened to Jacob, the Israeli people do not eat the muscle/tendon that is attached to the socket of the hips of animals.
Затова и до днес израилтяните не ядат сухата жила, която е върху ставата на бедрото; защото човекът се допря до ставата на Якововото бедро при сухата жила.
