32:1
|
雅各仍旧行路，神的使者遇见他。
|
|
|
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
|
|
32:2
|
雅各看见他们就说：「这是神的军兵」，于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念（就是二军兵的意思）。
|
|
|
And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God`s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
|
|
32:3
|
雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫，
|
|
|
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
|
|
32:4
|
吩咐他们说：「你们对我主以扫说：『你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，直到如今。
|
|
|
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:
|
|
32:5
|
我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在打发人来报告我主，为要在你眼前蒙恩。』」
|
|
|
and I have oxen, and asses, [and] flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
|
|
32:6
|
所打发的人回到雅各那里，说：「我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。」
|
|
|
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
|
|
32:7
|
雅各就甚惧怕，而且愁烦，便把那与他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、骆驼分做两队，
|
|
|
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
|
|
32:8
|
说：「以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。」
|
|
|
and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.
|
|
32:9
|
雅各说：「耶和华我祖亚伯拉罕的神，我父亲以撒的神啊，你曾对我说：『回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。』
|
|
|
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:
|
|
32:10
|
你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实，我一点也不配得；我先前只拿着我的杖过这约但河，如今我却成了两队了。
|
|
|
I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies.
|
|
32:11
|
求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手；因为我怕他来杀我，连妻子带儿女一同杀了。
|
|
|
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.
|
|
32:12
|
你曾说：『我必定厚待你，使你的后裔如同海边的沙，多得不可胜数。』」
|
|
|
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.
|
|
32:13
|
当夜，雅各在那里住宿，就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫：
|
|
|
And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
|
|
32:14
|
母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，
|
|
|
two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
|
|
32:15
|
奶崽子的骆驼三十只，各带着崽子，母牛四十只，公牛十只，母驴二十匹，驴驹十匹；
|
|
|
thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
|
|
32:16
|
每样各分一群，交在仆人手下，就对仆人说：「你们要在我前头过去，使群群相离，有空闲的地方」；
|
|
|
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
|
|
32:17
|
又吩咐尽先走的说：「我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，问你说：『你是那家的人？要往那里去？你前头这些是谁的？』
|
|
|
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?
|
|
32:18
|
你就说：『是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边。』」
|
|
|
then thou shalt say [They are] thy servant Jacob`s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us.
|
|
32:19
|
又吩咐第二、第三，和一切赶群畜的人说：「你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说；
|
|
|
And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him;
|
|
32:20
|
并且你们要说：『你仆人雅各在我们后边。』」因雅各心里说：「我借着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他容纳我。」
|
|
|
and ye shall say, 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 me.
|
|
32:21
|
于是礼物先过去了；那夜，雅各在队中住宿。
|
|
|
So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
|
|
32:22
|
他夜间起来，带着两个妻子，两个使女，并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口，
|
|
|
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
|
|
32:23
|
先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
|
|
|
And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
|
|
32:24
|
只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。
|
|
|
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
|
|
32:25
|
那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
|
|
|
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 strained, as he wrestled with him.
|
|
32:26
|
那人说：「天黎明了，容我去吧！」雅各说：「你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。」
|
|
|
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
|
|
32:27
|
那人说：「你名叫什么？」他说：「我名叫雅各。」
|
|
|
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
|
|
32:28
|
那人说：「你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列；因为你与神与人较力，都得了胜。」
|
|
|
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
|
|
32:29
|
雅各问他说：「请将你的名告诉我。」那人说：「何必问我的名？」于是在那里给雅各祝福。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
32:30
|
雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒（就是神之面的意思），意思说：「我面对面见了神，我的性命仍得保全。」
|
|
|
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
|
|
32:31
|
日头刚出来的时候，雅各经过毗努伊勒，他的大腿就瘸了。
|
|
|
And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
|
|
32:32
|
故此，以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋，直到今日，因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。
|
|
|
Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob`s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
