Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
А Јаков отиде својим путем; и сретоше га анђели Божији;
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
А кад их угледа Јаков, рече: Ово је логор Божји. И прозва оно место Маханаим.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
И Јаков посла пред собом гласнике к Исаву брату свом у земљу Сир, крајину едомску.
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
И заповеди им говорећи: Овако кажите господару мом Исаву: Слуга твој Јаков овако каже: Био сам дошљак код Лавана и бавио се до сад.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
А имам волова и магараца, оваца и слуга, и слушкиња, и послах да јавим теби господару свом, еда бих нашао милост пред тобом.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
И вратише се гласници к Јакову и рекоше му: Идосмо до брата твог Исава, и ето он ти иде на сусрет с четири стотине момака.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
А Јаков се уплаши јако и забрину се; па раздели своје људе и овце и говеда и камиле у две чете.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
И рече: Ако Исав удари на једну чету и разбије је, да ако друга утече.
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
И рече Јаков: Боже оца мог Аврама и Боже оца мог Исака, Господе, који си ми казао: Врати се у земљу своју и у род свој, и ја ћу ти бити добротвор!
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
Нисам вредан толике милости и толике вере што си учинио слузи свом; јер само са штапом својим пређох преко Јордана, а сада сам господар од две чете.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
Избави ме из руке брата мог, из руке Исавове, јер се бојим да не дође и убије мене и матер с децом.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
А Ти си казао: Заиста ја ћу ти бити добротвор, и учинићу семе твоје да буде као песка морског, који се не може избројати од множине.
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
И заноћи онде ону ноћ, и узе шта му дође до руке, да пошаље на дар Исаву брату свом,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Двеста коза с двадесет јараца, двеста оваца с двадесет овнова,
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
Тридесет камила дојилица с камиладима, четрдесет крава с десеторо телади, двадесет магарица с десеторо магаради.
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
И предаде их слугама својим, свако стадо напосе, и рече слугама: Идите напред преда мном, остављајући доста места између једног стада и другог.
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
И заповеди првом говорећи: Кад сретнеш Исава, брата мог, па те запита: Чији си? И куда идеш? И чије је то што гониш пред собом?
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
А ти реци: Слуге твог Јакова, а ово шаље на дар господару свом Исаву, а ето и сам иде за нама.
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
Тако заповеди и другом и трећем и свима који иђаху за стадом, и рече: Тако кажите Исаву кад наиђете на њ.
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
И још кажите: Ето, Јаков слуга твој иде за нама. Јер говораше: Ублажићу га даром који иде преда мном, па ћу му онда видети лице, да ако ме лепо прими.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Тако отиде дар напред, а он преноћи ону ноћ код чете своје.
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
И по ноћи уста, и узе обе жене и две робиње и једанаесторо деце своје; и преброди брод Јавок.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
А пошто њих узе и преведе преко потока, претури и остало што имаше.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
А кад оста Јаков сам, тада се један човек рваше с њим до зоре.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
И кад виде да га не може свладати, удари га по зглавку у стегну, те се Јакову ишчаши стегно из зглавка, кад се човек рваше с њим.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
Па онда рече: Пусти ме, зора је. А Јаков му рече: Нећу те пустити докле ме не благословиш.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
А човек му рече: Како ти је име. А он одговори: Јаков.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Тада му рече: Одселе се нећеш звати Јаков, него Израиљ; јер си се јуначки борио и с Богом и с људима, и одолео си.
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
А Јаков запита и рече: Кажи ми како је теби име. А Он рече: Што питаш како ми је име? И благослови га онде.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
И Јаков надеде име оном месту Фануил; јер, вели, Бога видех лицем к лицу, и душа се моја избави.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
И сунце му се роди кад прође Фануил, и храмаше на стегно своје.
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Зато синови Израиљеви не једу крајеве од мишића на зглавку у стегну до данашњег дана, што се Јакову повредише крајеви од мишића на зглавку у стегну.
