创世记 32
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1雅各 仍旧行路， 神的使者遇见他。
1Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
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 。
2When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3雅各 打发人先往 西珥 地去，就是 以东 地，见他哥哥 以扫 ，
3Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
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。
4He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
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。』」
5I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
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。」
6The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
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，
7Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8说：「 以扫 若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。」
8He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
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。』
9Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
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 约旦河 ，如今我却成了两队了。
10I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
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。
11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
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。』」
12You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
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 ：
13He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
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，
14two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
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；
15thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
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」；
16He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
17又吩咐尽先走的说：「我哥哥 以扫 遇见你的时候，问你说：『你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前头这些是谁的？』
17He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
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。』」
18Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
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；
19He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
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。」
20You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21于是礼物先过去了；那夜， 雅各 在队中住宿。
21So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
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，
22He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
23He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24只剩下 雅各 一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。
24Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
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。
25When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
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。」
26The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27那人说：「你名叫什么？」他说：「我名叫 雅各 。」
27He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
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。」
28He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
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。
29Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30雅各 便给那地方起名叫 毗努伊勒 ，意思说：「我面对面见了 神，我的性命仍得保全。」
30Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31日头刚出来的时候， 雅各 经过 毗努伊勒 ，他的大腿就瘸了。
31The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
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。
32Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
