Bibbia Vulgata Clementina	Douai-Rheims
¹ Jacob quoque abiit itinere quo c?perat : fueruntque ei obviam angeli Dei.	¹ Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
² Quos cum vidisset, ait : Castra Dei sunt hæc : et appellavit nomen loci illius Mahanaim, id est, Castra.	² And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
³ Misit autem et nuntios ante se ad Esau fratrem suum in terram Seir, in regionem Edom :	³ And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to the country of Edom:
⁴ præcepitque eis, dicens : Sic loquimini domino meo Esau : Hæc dicit frater tuus Jacob : Apud Laban peregrinatus sum, et fui usque in præsentem diem.	⁴ And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day.
⁵ Habeo boves, et asinos, et oves, et servos, et ancillas : mittoque nunc legationem ad dominum meum, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo.	⁵ I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
⁶ Reversique sunt nuntii ad Jacob, dicentes : Venimus ad Esau fratrem tuum, et ecce properat tibi in occursum cum quadringentis viris.	⁶ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
⁷ Timuit Jacob valde : et perterritus divisit populum qui secum erat, greges quoque et oves, et boves, et camelos, in duas turmas,	⁷ Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
⁸ dicens : Si venerit Esau ad unam turmam, et percusserit eam, alia turma, quæ relicta est, salvabitur.	⁸ Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape.
⁹ Dixitque Jacob : Deus patris mei Abraham, et Deus patris mei Isaac : Domine qui dixisti mihi : Revertere in terram tuam, et in locum nativitatis tuæ, et benefaciam tibi :	⁹ And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee,
¹⁰ minor sum cunctis miserationibus tuis, et veritate tua quam explevisti servo tuo. In baculo meo transivi Jordanem istum : et nunc cum duabus turmis regredior.	¹⁰ I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies.
¹¹ Erue me de manu fratris mei Esau, quia valde eum timeo : ne forte veniens percutiat matrem cum filiis.	¹¹ Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children.
¹² Tu locutus es quod benefaceres mihi, et dilatares semen meum sicut arenam maris, quæ præ multitudine numerari non potest.	¹² Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for the multitude.
¹³ Cumque dormisset ibi nocte illa, separavit de his quæ habebat, munera Esau fratri suo,	¹³ And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
¹⁴ capras ducentas, hircos viginti, oves ducentas, et arietes viginti,	¹⁴ Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
¹⁵ camelos f?tas cum pullis suis triginta, vaccas quadraginta, et tauros viginti, asinas viginti et pullos earum decem.	¹⁵ Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
¹⁶ Et misit per manus servorum suorum singulos seorsum greges, dixitque pueris suis : Antecedite me, et sit spatium inter gregem et gregem.	¹⁶ And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove.
¹⁷ Et præcepit priori, dicens : Si obvium habueris fratrem meum Esau, et interrogaverit te : Cujus es ? aut, Quo vadis ? aut, Cujus sunt ista quæ sequeris ?	¹⁷ And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee?
¹⁸ respondebis : Servi tui Jacob, munera misit domino meo Esau, ipse quoque post nos venit.	¹⁸ Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob's: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after us.
¹⁹ Similiter dedit mandata secundo, et tertio, et cunctis qui sequebantur greges, dicens : Iisdem verbis loquimini ad Esau cum inveneritis eum.	¹⁹ In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed with the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him.
²⁰ Et addetis : Ipse quoque servus tuus Jacob iter nostrum insequitur. Dixit enim : Placabo illum muneribus quæ præcedunt, et postea videbo illum : forsitan propitiabitur mihi.	²⁰ And ye shall add: thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.
²¹ Præcesserunt itaque munera ante eum, ipse vero mansit nocte illa in castris.	²¹ So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
²² Cumque mature surrexisset, tulit duas uxores suas, et totidem famulas cum undecim filiis, et transivit vadum Jaboc.	²² And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
²³ Traductisque omnibus quæ ad se pertinebant,	²³ And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
²⁴ mansit solus : et ecce vir luctabatur cum eo usque mane.	²⁴ He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
²⁵ Qui cum videret quod eum superare non posset, tetigit nervum femoris ejus, et statim emarcuit.	²⁵ And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
²⁶ Dixitque ad eum : Dimitte me : jam enim ascendit aurora. Respondit : Non dimittam te, nisi benedixeris mihi.	²⁶ And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
²⁷ Ait ergo : Quod nomen est tibi ? Respondit : Jacob.	²⁷ And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.
²⁸ At ille : Nequaquam, inquit, Jacob appellabitur nomen tuum, sed Israël : quoniam si contra Deum fortis fuisti, quanto magis contra homines prævalebis ?	²⁸ But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
²⁹ Interrogavit eum Jacob : Dic mihi, quo appellaris nomine ? Respondit : Cur quæris nomen meum ? Et benedixit ei in eodem loco.	²⁹ Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.
³⁰ Vocavitque Jacob nomen loci illius Phanuel, dicens : Vidi Deum facie ad faciem, et salva facta est anima mea.	³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
³¹ Ortusque est ei statim sol, postquam transgressus est Phanuel : ipse vero claudicabat pede.	³¹ And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
³² Quam ob causam non comedunt nervum filii Israël, qui emarcuit in femore Jacob, usque in præsentem diem : eo quod tetigerit nervum femoris ejus, et obstupuerit.	³² Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
