Humanda si Jacob na Salubungin si Esau
32 Nagpatuloy si Jacob sa paglalakbay at sinalubong siya ng mga anghel ng Diyos. 2 Kaya't sinabi niya, “Ito ang hukbo ng Diyos,” kaya tinawag niyang Mahanaim[a] ang lugar na iyon.
3 Nagpadala siya ng mga sugo sa kapatid niyang si Esau sa lupain ng Seir, sa lupain ng Edom. 4 Ganito ang kanyang ipinasabi: “Ako si Jacob na abang lingkod mo. Matagal akong nanirahan sa Tiyo Laban at ngayon lamang ako uuwi. 5 Marami akong mga baka, asno, tupa, kambing at mga alipin. Pinauna ko ang mga sugong ito upang ipakiusap sa iyo na magkasundo na tayo.”
6 Pagbalik ng mga sugo, sinabi nila, “Nakausap po namin si Esau at ngayon po'y nasa daan na siya at may kasamang apatnaraang lalaki upang salubungin kayo.” 7 Natakot si Jacob at lubhang nabahala. Kaya't pinagdalawa niyang pangkat ang kanyang mga tauhan pati mga hayop 8 upang, kung salakayin sila ni Esau, ang isang pangkat ay makakatakas.
9 At nanalangin si Jacob, “Diyos ni Abraham at ni Isaac, tulungan po ninyo ako! Sinabi po ninyong ako'y bumalik sa aming lupain at mga kamag-anak, at hindi ninyo ako pababayaan. 10 Hindi po ako karapat-dapat sa lahat ng kagandahang-loob ninyo sa akin. Nang tumawid po ako sa Jordan, wala akong dala kundi tungkod, ngunit ngayon sa aking pagbabalik, dalawang pangkat na ang aking kasama. 11 Iligtas ninyo ako sa kamay ng aking kapatid na si Esau. Nangangamba po akong sa pagkikita nami'y patayin niya kami pati mga babae at mga bata. 12 Nangako(A) po kayong hindi ninyo ako pababayaan. Sinabi ninyong pararamihin ninyo ang aking lahi, sindami ng mga buhangin sa dagat.”
13 Kinabukasan, si Jacob ay naghanda ng regalo para kay Esau. Pumili siya ng 14 dalawampung barako at dalawandaang inahing kambing, dalawandaang inahing tupa at dalawampung barako, 15 tatlumpung gatasang kamelyo na may mga anak, apatnapung inahing baka at sampung toro, at dalawampung inahing asno at sampung lalaking asno. 16 Bawat kawan ay ipinagkatiwala niya sa isang alipin. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Mauna kayo sa akin, ngunit huwag kayong magsasabay-sabay; lagyan ninyo ng pagitan ang bawat kawan.” 17 Sinabi niya sa naunang alipin, “Kung masalubong mo ang aking kapatid at tanungin ka, ‘Sino ang iyong panginoon? Saan ka pupunta? Kaninong mga hayop ito?’ 18 Sabihin mong, ‘Ito po'y galing sa inyong lingkod na si Jacob. Regalo po niya ito sa panginoon niyang si Esau.’ Sabihin mo ring kasunod na ninyo ako.” 19 Ganito rin ang iniutos niya sa pangalawa, pangatlo at sa lahat ng aliping kasama ng kawan. 20 Ipinasabi rin niya sa mga ito na siya'y kasunod nila. Inisip ni Jacob na sa ganitong paraa'y patatawarin siya ni Esau, kung sila'y magtagpo, dahil sa mga regalong padala niya. 21 Ang mga regalong ito'y nauna sa kanya; nagpahinga muna siya sa kanyang kampo nang gabing iyon.
Nakipagbuno si Jacob sa Peniel
22 Nang gabi ring iyon, gumising si Jacob at itinawid sa Ilog Jabok ang dalawa niyang asawa, labing-isang anak at dalawang asawang-lingkod. 23 Pagkatapos(B) maitawid ang lahat niyang ari-arian, 24 naiwang(C) mag-isa si Jacob.
Doon, nakipagbuno sa kanya ang isang lalaki hanggang sa pagbubukang-liwayway. 25 Nang maramdaman ng lalaki na hindi niya madadaig si Jacob, hinampas niya ito sa balakang at ang buto nito'y nalinsad. 26 Sinabi ng lalaki, “Bitiwan mo na ako at magbubukang-liwayway na!”
“Hindi kita bibitiwan hangga't hindi mo ako binabasbasan,” wika ni Jacob. 27 Tinanong ng lalaki kung sino siya, at sinabi niyang siya'y si Jacob.
28 Sinabi(D) sa kanya ng lalaki, “Mula ngayo'y Israel[b] na ang itatawag sa iyo, at hindi na Jacob, sapagkat nakipagbuno ka sa Diyos at sa mga tao, at ikaw ay nagtagumpay.”
29 “Ano(E) namang pangalan ninyo?” tanong ni Jacob.
“Bakit gusto mo pang malaman?” sagot naman ng lalaki. At binasbasan niya si Jacob.
30 Sinabi ni Jacob, “Nakita ko ang mukha ng Diyos, gayunma'y buháy pa rin ako.” At tinawag niyang Peniel[c] ang lugar na iyon. 31 Sumisikat na ang araw nang umalis siya roon at papilay-pilay na lumakad. 32 Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayo'y hindi kinakain ng mga Israelita ang litid ng pigi ng hayop, sapagkat iyon ang bahaging napilay kay Jacob.

雅各预备见以扫
32 雅各继续前行，遇见了上帝的天使。 2 雅各看见他们，就说：“这是上帝的军队！”于是称那地方为玛哈念[a]。
3 雅各先派人到西珥，就是以东，去见他哥哥以扫， 4 并吩咐他们：“你们要这样对我主以扫说，‘你仆人雅各一直寄居在拉班家里， 5 现在他带了牛羊、驴和仆婢回来见你，派我们来报信，希望得到你的恩待。’”
6 报信的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他正带着四百人前来见你。” 7 雅各听了非常害怕，便把随从、牛群、羊群和骆驼分成两队， 8 心想：“如果以扫来攻击一队，另一队还可以逃生。”
9 他祷告说：“耶和华，我祖父亚伯拉罕和我父亲以撒的上帝啊！你吩咐我回到家乡和亲族那里，答应厚待我。 10 我不配蒙你以慈爱和信实相待，我先前过约旦河的时候，手上只有一根杖，现在却有两队人丁家畜。 11 求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手，我怕他会来杀我和我的妻儿。 12 然而，你曾说，‘我必厚待你，使你的后代多如海沙，不可胜数。’”
13 那天晚上，雅各就在那里过夜，又挑选牲畜送给哥哥以扫作礼物： 14 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 哺乳的骆驼三十头及其小骆驼、母牛四十头、公牛十头、母驴二十头、驴驹十头。 16 雅各把牲畜每类分成一群，交给仆人看管，对他们说：“你们走在前头，每群牲畜之间要保持一段距离！” 17 又吩咐走在最前面的仆人说：“我哥哥以扫遇到你的时候，如果问你是谁家的人？要到哪里去？前头这些牲畜是谁的？ 18 你就说，‘是仆人雅各要送给他主人以扫的礼物，他自己就跟在后面。’” 19 雅各又吩咐看管第二群、第三群及其余牲畜的仆人遇见以扫时也要这样回答， 20 并且一定要说：“你仆人雅各就在后面。”雅各想先用礼物去化解以扫的怨恨，或许见面时以扫会善待他。 21 于是，他派人先把礼物送过去，自己则留在营里过夜。
雅各遇见上帝
22 那天晚上，雅各起来带着两个妻子、两个婢女和十一个儿子渡过雅博渡口。 23 雅各把他们连同一切所有都送过河以后， 24 自己独自留下。这时，有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。 25 那人见胜不过雅各，就在他的大腿窝摸了一下，他大腿的关节就脱了臼。 26 那人说：“天亮了，让我走吧！”但雅各说：“你不祝福我，我就不让你走。” 27 那人问道：“你叫什么名字？”他说：“我叫雅各。” 28 那人说：“你以后不要再叫雅各了，你要叫以色列，因为你跟上帝和人角力都得胜了。”
29 雅各说：“请你告诉我你的名字。”那人说：“你为什么问我的名字？”他就在那里给雅各祝福。 30 雅各称那地方为毗努伊勒，因为他说：“我当面见过上帝，竟能活命。” 31 雅各经过毗努伊勒的时候，太阳出来了，那时他的大腿瘸了。 32 以色列人至今都不吃大腿窝的筋，因为那人摸过雅各大腿窝的筋。

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.

Esau Comes to Meet Jacob
32 So Jacob went on his way, and (A)the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s (B)camp.” And he called the name of that place [a]Mahanaim.
3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother (C)in the land of Seir, (D)the [b]country of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying, (E)“Speak thus to my lord Esau, ‘Thus your servant Jacob says: “I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now. 5 (F)I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that (G)I may find favor in your sight.” ’ ”
6 Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and (H)he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.” 7 So Jacob was greatly afraid and (I)distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies. 8 And he said, “If Esau comes to the one company and [c]attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape.”
9 (J)Then Jacob said, (K)“O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord (L)who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you’: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the (M)mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with (N)my staff, and now I have become two companies. 11 (O)Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and [d]attack me and (P)the mother with the children. 12 For (Q)You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the (R)sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ”
13 So he lodged there that same night, and took what [e]came to his hand as (S)a present for Esau his brother: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15 thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. 16 Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.” 17 And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?’ 18 then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.’ ” 19 So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him; 20 and also say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us.’ ” For he said, “I will (T)appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.” 21 So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Wrestling with God
22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, (U)and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 He took them, sent them [f]over the brook, and sent over what he had. 24 Then Jacob was left alone; and (V)a Man wrestled with him until the [g]breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He [h]touched the socket of his hip; and (W)the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And (X)He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.”
But he said, (Y)“I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?”
He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, (Z)“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but [i]Israel; for you have (AA)struggled with God and (AB)with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.”
And He said, (AC)“Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He (AD)blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place [j]Peniel: “For (AE)I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” 31 Just as he crossed over [k]Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He [l]touched the socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.
