Битие 32
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
32 [a] Сутринта рано Лаван целуна внуците и дъщерите си, благослови ги и се отправи на път, за да се върне у дома си.
Яков се подготвя да срещне Исав
2 След това Яков продължи своя път. Тогава го срещнаха Божии ангели. 3 Когато ги видя, Яков възкликна: „Това е Божие войнство.“ И нарече онова място Маханаим. 4 Яков изпрати пред себе си вестители до брат си Исав в земята Сеир, в страната Едом. 5 Той им заповяда да му предадат следното: „Господарю мой Исав, така говори твоят роб Яков: ‘Аз живях при Лаван. 6 Придобих говеда, осли, овце и кози, роби и робини. Сега изпращам да известят за мене на тебе – моя господар, за да намеря аз благоволение пред тебе.’“
7 Вестителите се върнаха при Яков и му съобщиха: „Ходихме при брат ти Исав. Ето той идва сам да те посрещне, а с него има четиристотин мъже.“ 8 Мъчителен страх обхвана Яков. Затова той раздели на два стана всички, които бяха заедно с него, а също дребния и едрия добитък, както и камилите. 9 Той си мислеше: „Ако Исав налети на единия стан и го избие, другият ще може да се спаси.“
10 (A)Тогава Яков се помоли: „О, Боже на баща ми Авраам и Боже на баща ми Исаак! Господи, Ти беше ми заповядал: ‘Върни се в твоята земя, в родината си – Аз ще те закрилям!’ 11 Не съм достоен за всички милости и благодеяния, които непрестанно си оказвал на Своя роб. Преминах Йордан само с една тояга, а сега имам два стана. 12 Спаси ме от моя брат, от Исав, защото съм в ужас – да не би той да дойде, да убие мене, както и майките с децата. 13 (B)Ти обеща: ‘Аз ще те закрилям и ще направя твоето потомство да бъде като морския пясък, което поради множеството си ще бъде неизброимо’.“
14 Онази нощ Яков пренощува там. От това, което притежаваше, той подбра дарове за своя брат Исав 15 – двеста кози, двадесет козли, двеста овце, двадесет овни, 16 тридесет дойни камили с камилчетата им, четиридесет крави, десет бика, двадесет ослици и десет осела. 17 Той предостави на робите си всяко стадо поотделно. Нареди им: „Тръгнете пред мене и оставяйте разстояние между едно стадо и друго.“
18 След това заповяда на първия роб: „Когато те срещне брат ми Исав и те попита: ‘Чий роб си ти, къде отиваш и чие е това стадо пред тебе?’, 19 ти отговори: ‘Този добитък е на твоя роб Яков, пратен като дар на моя господар Исав. А сам той идва след нас’.“ 20 Същото заповяда на втория роб, както и на третия – на всички, които вървяха след стадата: „Така кажете на Исав, когато го срещнете: 21 ‘Ето твоят роб Яков идва след нас’.“ Защото си мислеше: „Ще го умилостивя с даровете, които вървят пред мене. След това ще видя лицето му – може би ще ме приеме благосклонно.“ 22 Като изпрати даровете пред себе си, през онази нощ той пренощува в стана.
Борбата на Яков с Бога
23 (C)А през нощта Яков стана, взе двете си жени и двете си робини, както и единадесетте си синове и преброди река Явок. 24 Всички тях той преведе на другия бряг, преведе и всичко, което притежаваше. 25 А Яков остана сам. И ето с него до зори се бори един Мъж. 26 Мъжът, като разбра, че не може да надвие Яков, по време на борбата го удари по бедрото така, че навехна ставата на Якововото бедро. 27 Той му каза: „Пусни Ме, защото вече се зазори.“ Яков отговори: „Няма да Те пусна, докато не ме благословиш.“ 28 Мъжът попита: „Как ти е името?“ Той отговори: „Яков.“ 29 (D)Тогава мъжът каза: „Отсега няма да се наричаш Яков, а Израил – нали ти се бори с Бога, както и с човеци, и излизаше победител.“ 30 (E)Яков попита: „Кажи ми – какво е Твоето име?“ Но Той отговори: „Защо Ме питаш за Моето име?[b]“ Тогава Мъжът благослови Яков там. 31 (F)Това място Яков нарече Фануил. Защото, казваше той, „видях Бога лице в лице, а животът ми беше запазен.“ 32 Слънцето вече беше изгряло, когато той отминаваше Фануил. Той куцаше с бедрото си. 33 Затова и досега потомците на Израил не ядат жилата, която е на бедрената става, защото Този, Който се бори с Яков, беше навехнал ставната жила на бедрото му.
Genesis 32
King James Version
32 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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, and the mother with the children.
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.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, 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 accept of me.
21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
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.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
1 Mose 32
Hoffnung für Alle
Jakob bereitet sich auf die Begegnung mit Esau vor
32 Früh am nächsten Morgen küsste Laban seine Töchter und seine Enkel zum Abschied und segnete sie. Dann kehrte er wieder nach Hause zurück.
2 Auch Jakob setzte seine Reise fort. Unterwegs begegnete ihm eine Schar von Engeln. 3 Als er sie sah, rief Jakob erstaunt: »Hier ist das Lager Gottes!« Darum nannte er den Ort Mahanajim (»zwei Lager«).
4 Jakob schickte Boten zu seinem Bruder Esau, der in Edom im Land Seïr wohnte. 5 Sie sollten Esau diese Nachricht überbringen: »Ich, Jakob, dein Diener, bin bis jetzt bei Laban gewesen. 6 Dort habe ich mir viele Rinder, Esel, Schafe und Ziegen sowie Diener und Mägde erworben. Jetzt sende ich dir, meinem Herrn, diese Nachricht und hoffe, dass du uns großzügig aufnimmst!«
7 Die Boten kamen zurück und meldeten: »Esau ist schon auf dem Weg zu dir! 400 Mann begleiten ihn!«
8 Da bekam Jakob furchtbare Angst. Schnell teilte er seine Leute und das Vieh in zwei Gruppen ein, 9 weil er sich dachte: »Wenn Esau eine Gruppe angreift und alles niedermacht, können wenigstens die anderen entkommen!« 10 Dann betete er: »Herr, du Gott meines Großvaters Abraham und meines Vaters Isaak, du hast zu mir gesagt: ›Kehr zurück in deine Heimat zu deinen Verwandten, ich werde dafür sorgen, dass es dir gut geht!‹ 11 Ich habe es nicht verdient, dass du so viel für mich getan und immer wieder deine Versprechen eingehalten hast! Als ich damals den Jordan überquerte, besaß ich nur einen Wanderstock – und nun komme ich mit zwei großen Gruppen von Menschen und Tieren hier an! 12 Bitte rette mich vor meinem Bruder Esau! Ich habe große Angst, dass er uns alle umbringt, die Frauen und auch die Kinder! 13 Du hast mir doch versprochen: ›Ich will dafür sorgen, dass es dir gut geht, und dir viele Nachkommen schenken, unzählbar wie der Sand am Meer!‹«
14 Über Nacht blieb Jakob noch im Lager. Er wählte einige Tiere aus, um sie als Geschenk für Esau vorauszuschicken: 15 200 Ziegen, 20 Ziegenböcke, 200 Schafe, 20 Schafböcke, 16 30 säugende Kamele mit ihren Jungen, 40 Kühe, 10 Stiere, 20 Eselinnen und 10 Esel. 17 Er stellte sie in Herden zusammen und übergab jedem seiner Knechte eine. Sie sollten vorausziehen und zwischen den einzelnen Herden Abstand lassen.
18 Dem, der die erste anführte, befahl er: »Wenn du Esau begegnest und er dich fragt: ›Wer ist dein Herr? Wohin willst du? Wem gehört das Vieh, das du vor dir hertreibst?‹, 19 dann antworte: ›Es gehört deinem Diener Jakob. Er hat es als Geschenk vorausgeschickt für dich, Esau, seinen Herrn; er selbst kommt auch schon hinter uns her!‹«
20 Dasselbe sagte Jakob zu allen Übrigen, die eine Herde anführten. Er schärfte ihnen ein: »Haltet euch an das, was ihr Esau antworten sollt. 21 Sagt ihm: ›Jakob, dein Diener, kommt auch gleich!‹« Jakob dachte nämlich: »Ich will ihn milde stimmen mit dem Geschenk, das ich vorausschicke, erst dann will ich ihn selbst sehen. Vielleicht nimmt er mich freundlich auf!« 22 Er schickte also die Viehherden schon voraus, blieb aber selbst über Nacht im Lager.
Jakob muss kämpfen
23 Mitten in der Nacht stand Jakob auf und überquerte den Fluss Jabbok an einer seichten Stelle, zusammen mit seinen beiden Frauen, den beiden Mägden und den elf Kindern. 24 Auch seinen Besitz brachte er auf die andere Seite. 25 Nur er blieb noch allein zurück.
Plötzlich stellte sich ihm ein Mann entgegen und kämpfte mit ihm bis zum Morgengrauen. 26 Als der Mann merkte, dass er Jakob nicht besiegen konnte, gab er ihm einen so harten Schlag auf das Hüftgelenk, dass es ausgerenkt wurde. 27 Dann bat er: »Lass mich los, der Morgen dämmert schon!«
Aber Jakob erwiderte: »Ich lasse dich nicht eher los, bis du mich gesegnet hast!« 28 »Wie heißt du?«, fragte der Mann. Als Jakob seinen Namen nannte, 29 sagte der Mann: »Von jetzt an sollst du nicht mehr Jakob heißen. Du hast schon mit Gott und mit Menschen gekämpft und immer gesiegt. Darum heißt du von jetzt an Israel (›Gotteskämpfer‹[a]).«
30 »Wie ist denn dein Name?«, fragte Jakob zurück. »Warum willst du das wissen?«, entgegnete der Mann nur, dann segnete er ihn.
31 »Ich habe Gott von Angesicht zu Angesicht gesehen, und trotzdem lebe ich noch!«, rief Jakob. Darum nannte er den Ort Pnuël (»Gesicht Gottes«). 32 Die Sonne ging gerade auf, als Jakob weiterzog. Er hinkte, weil seine Hüfte ausgerenkt war.
33 Bis heute essen die Israeliten bei geschlachteten Tieren nicht den Muskel über dem Hüftgelenk, weil Jakob auf diese Stelle geschlagen wurde.

Genesis 32
New International Version
Jacob Prepares to Meet Esau
32 [a]Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God(A) met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God!”(B) So he named that place Mahanaim.[b](C)
3 Jacob sent messengers(D) ahead of him to his brother Esau(E) in the land of Seir,(F) the country of Edom.(G) 4 He instructed them: “This is what you are to say to my lord(H) Esau: ‘Your servant(I) Jacob says, I have been staying with Laban(J) and have remained there till now. 5 I have cattle and donkeys, sheep and goats, male and female servants.(K) Now I am sending this message to my lord,(L) that I may find favor in your eyes.(M)’”
6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”(N)
7 In great fear(O) and distress(P) Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,[c](Q) and the flocks and herds and camels as well. 8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one group,[d] the group[e] that is left may escape.”
9 Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham,(R) God of my father Isaac,(S) Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’(T) 10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness(U) you have shown your servant. I had only my staff(V) when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.(W) 11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid(X) he will come and attack me,(Y) and also the mothers with their children.(Z) 12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand(AA) of the sea, which cannot be counted.(AB)’”
13 He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift(AC) for his brother Esau: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,(AD) 15 thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.(AE) 16 He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.”(AF)
17 He instructed the one in the lead: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?’ 18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant(AG) Jacob. They are a gift(AH) sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’”
19 He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: “You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. 20 And be sure to say, ‘Your servant(AI) Jacob is coming behind us.’” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts(AJ) I am sending on ahead;(AK) later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”(AL) 21 So Jacob’s gifts(AM) went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
Jacob Wrestles With God
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons(AN) and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.(AO) 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.(AP) 24 So Jacob was left alone,(AQ) and a man(AR) wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip(AS) so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”(AT)
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,”(AU) he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name(AV) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[f](AW) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”(AX)
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”(AY)
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”(AZ) Then he blessed(BA) him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[g] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,(BB) and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[h](BC) and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip,(BD) because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
