New Jerusalem Bible	Smith Van Dyke
¹ Early next morning, Laban kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then Laban leftto return home.	¹ واما يعقوب فمضى في طريقه ولاقاه ملائكة الله.
² While Jacob was going on his way, angels of God encountered him,	² وقال يعقوب اذ رآهم هذا جيش الله. فدعا اسم ذلك المكان محنايم
³ and on seeing them he said, 'This is God's camp,' and he named the place Mahanaim.	³ وارسل يعقوب رسلا قدامه الى عيسو اخيه الى ارض سعير بلاد ادوم.
⁴ Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in Seir, the open country of Edom,	⁴ وامرهم قائلا هكذا تقولون لسيدي عيسو. هكذا قال عبدك يعقوب. تغربت عند لابان ولبثت الى الآن.
⁵ with these instructions, 'Say this to my lord Esau, "Here is the message of your servant Jacob: I havebeen staying with Laban and have been delayed there until now,	⁵ وقد صار لي بقر وحمير وغنم وعبيد واماء. وارسلت لاخبر سيدي لكي اجد نعمة في عينيك
⁶ and I own oxen, beasts of burden and flocks, and men and women slaves. I send news of this to mylord in the hope of winning your favour." '	⁶ فرجع الرسل الى يعقوب قائلين أتينا الى اخيك الى عيسو. وهو ايضا قادم للقائك واربع مئة رجل معه.
⁷ The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, 'We went to your brother Esau, and he is already onhis way to meet you; there are four hundred men with him.'	⁷ فخاف يعقوب جدا وضاق به الامر. فقسم القوم الذين معه والغنم والبقر والجمال الى جيشين.
⁸ Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people with him, and the flocks and cattle,into two camps,	⁸ وقال ان جاء عيسو الى الجيش الواحد وضربه يكون الجيش الباقي ناجيا
⁹ thinking, 'If Esau comes to one of the camps and attacks it, the remaining camp may be able toescape.'	⁹ وقال يعقوب يا اله ابي ابراهيم واله ابي اسحق الرب الذي قال لي ارجع الى ارضك والى عشيرتك فاحسن اليك.
¹⁰ Jacob said, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh who told me, "Go backto your native land and I will be good to you,"	¹⁰ صغير انا عن جميع الطافك وجميع الامانة التي صنعت الى عبدك. فاني بعصاي عبرت هذا الاردن والآن قد صرت جيشين.
¹¹ I am unworthy of al the faithful love and constancy you have shown your servant. I had only my staffwhen I crossed this Jordan, and now I have grown into two camps.	¹¹ نجّني من يد اخي من يد عيسو. لاني خائف منه ان يأتي ويضربني الام مع البنين.
¹² I implore you, save me from my brother Esau's clutches, for I am afraid that he may come and attackme, mothers and children alike.	¹² وانت قد قلت اني احسن اليك واجعل نسلك كرمل البحر الذي لا يعدّ للكثرة
¹³ Yet it was you who said, "I shal be very good to you, and make your descendants like the sand ofthe sea, which is too numerous to count." '	¹³ وبات هناك تلك الليلة واخذ مما اتى بيده هدية لعيسو اخيه.
¹⁴ Then Jacob passed that night there. From what he had with him he chose a gift for his brother Esau:	¹⁴ مئتي عنز وعشرين تيسا مئتي نعجة وعشرين كبشا
¹⁵ two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,	¹⁵ ثلاثين ناقة مرضعة واولادها اربعين بقرة وعشرة ثيران عشرين اتانا وعشرة حمير.
¹⁶ thirty camels in milk with their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male.	¹⁶ ودفعها الى يد عبيده قطيعا قطيعا على حدة. وقال لعبيده اجتازوا قدّامي واجعلوا فسحة بين قطيع وقطيع.
¹⁷ He put them in the charge of his servants, in separate droves, and told his servants, 'Go ahead ofme, leaving a space between each drove and the next.'	¹⁷ وامر الاول قائلا اذا صادفك عيسو اخي وسألك قائلا لمن انت والى اين تذهب ولمن هذا الذي قدامك
¹⁸ He gave the leading man this order: 'When my brother Esau meets you and asks, "Whose man areyou? Where are you going? Whose are those animals that you are driving?"	¹⁸ تقول لعبدك يعقوب. هو هدية مرسلة لسيدي عيسو. وها هو ايضا وراءنا.
¹⁹ you wil answer, "Your servant Jacob's. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau. And Jacob himself isjust behind us." '	¹⁹ وامر ايضا الثاني والثالث وجميع السائرين وراء القطعان قائلا بمثل هذا الكلام تكلّمون عيسو حينما تجدونه.
²⁰ He gave the same order to the second and the third, and to al who were fol owing the droves. 'Thatis what you must say to Esau when you find him.	²⁰ وتقولون هوذا عبدك يعقوب ايضا وراءنا. لانه قال استعطف وجهه بالهدية السائرة امامي وبعد ذلك انظر وجهه. عسى ان يرفع وجهي.
²¹ And you must add, "Your servant Jacob himself is just behind us." ' For he thought, 'If I conciliate him by sending a gift in advance, perhaps he will be well inclined towards me when I face him.'	²¹ فاجتازت الهدية قدامه. واما هو فبات تلك الليلة في المحلّة
²² The gift went ahead of him, but he himself spent that night in the camp.	²² ثم قام في تلك الليلة واخذ امرأتيه وجاريتيه واولاده الاحد عشر وعبر مخاضة يبّوق.
²³ That same night he got up and, taking his two wives, his two slave-girls and his eleven children,crossed the ford of the Jabbok.	²³ اخذهم واجازهم الوادي واجاز ما كان له.
²⁴ After he had taken them across the stream, he sent al his possessions over too.	²⁴ فبقي يعقوب وحده. وصارعه انسان حتى طلوع الفجر.
²⁵ And Jacob was left alone. Then someone wrestled with him until daybreak	²⁵ ولما رأى انه لا يقدر عليه ضرب حقّ فخذه. فانخلع حقّ فخذ يعقوب في مصارعته معه.
²⁶ who, seeing that he could not master him, struck him on the hip socket, and Jacob's hip wasdislocated as he wrestled with him.	²⁶ وقال اطلقني لانه قد طلع الفجر. فقال لا اطلقك ان لم تباركني.
²⁷ He said, 'Let me go, for day is breaking.' Jacob replied, 'I wil not let you go unless you bless me.'	²⁷ فقال له ما اسمك. فقال يعقوب.
²⁸ The other said, 'What is your name?' 'Jacob,' he replied.	²⁸ فقال لا يدعى اسمك في ما بعد يعقوب بل اسرائيل. لانك جاهدت مع الله والناس وقدرت.
²⁹ He said, 'No longer are you to be cal ed Jacob, but Israel since you have shown your strengthagainst God and men and have prevailed.'	²⁹ وسأل يعقوب وقال اخبرني باسمك. فقال لماذا تسأل عن اسمي. وباركه هناك
³⁰ Then Jacob asked, 'Please tel me your name.' He replied, 'Why do you ask my name?' With that, heblessed him there.	³⁰ فدعا يعقوب اسم المكان فنيئيل. قائلا لاني نظرت الله وجها لوجه ونجّيت نفسي.
³¹ Jacob named the place Peniel, 'Because I have seen God face to face,' he said, 'and have survived.'	³¹ واشرقت له الشمس اذ عبر فنوئيل وهو يخمع على فخذه.
³² The sun rose as he passed Peniel, limping from his hip.	³² لذلك لا يأكل بنو اسرائيل عرق النّسا الذي على حقّ الفخذ الى هذا اليوم. لانه ضرب حقّ فخذ يعقوب على عرق النّسا
³³ That is why to this day the Israelites do not eat the thigh sinew which is at the hip socket: because hehad struck Jacob at the hip socket on the thigh sinew.
