創世記 32
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1雅各 仍舊行路，上帝的使者遇見他。
1Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2雅各 看見他們就說：「這是上帝的軍兵」，於是給那地方起名叫 瑪哈念 。
2When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3雅各 打發人先往 西珥 地去，就是 以東 地，見他哥哥 以掃 ，
3Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4吩咐他們說：「你們對我主 以掃 說：『你的僕人 雅各 這樣說：我在 拉班 那裏寄居，直到如今。
4He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
5我有牛、驢、羊群、僕婢，現在打發人來報告我主，為要在你眼前蒙恩。』」
5I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6所打發的人回到 雅各 那裏，說：「我們到了你哥哥 以掃 那裏，他帶着四百人，正迎着你來。」
6When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
7雅各 就甚懼怕，而且愁煩，便把那與他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、駱駝分做兩隊，
7In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
8說：「 以掃 若來擊殺這一隊，剩下的那一隊還可以逃避。」
8He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
9雅各 說：「耶和華－我祖 亞伯拉罕 的上帝，我父親 以撒 的上帝啊，你曾對我說：『回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。』
9Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’
10你向僕人所施的一切慈愛和誠實，我一點也不配得；我先前只拿着我的杖過這 約旦河 ，如今我卻成了兩隊了。
10I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
11求你救我脫離我哥哥 以掃 的手；因為我怕他來殺我，連妻子帶兒女一同殺了。
11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
12你曾說：『我必定厚待你，使你的後裔如同海邊的沙，多得不可勝數。』」
12But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
13當夜， 雅各 在那裏住宿，就從他所有的物中拿禮物要送給他哥哥 以掃 ：
13Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
14母山羊二百隻，公山羊二十隻，母綿羊二百隻，公綿羊二十隻，
14200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
15奶崽子的駱駝三十隻－各帶着崽子，母牛四十隻，公牛十隻，母驢二十匹，驢駒十匹；
1530 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
16每樣各分一群，交在僕人手下，就對僕人說：「你們要在我前頭過去，使群群相離，有空閒的地方」；
16He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
17又吩咐儘先走的說：「我哥哥 以掃 遇見你的時候，問你說：『你是哪家的人？要往哪裏去？你前頭這些是誰的？』
17He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
18你就說：『是你僕人 雅各 的，是送給我主 以掃 的禮物；他自己也在我們後邊。』」
18then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
19又吩咐第二、第三，和一切趕群畜的人說：「你們遇見 以掃 的時候也要這樣對他說；
19He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
20並且你們要說：『你僕人 雅各 在我們後邊。』」因 雅各 心裏說：「我藉着在我前頭去的禮物解他的恨，然後再見他的面，或者他容納我。」
20You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
21於是禮物先過去了；那夜， 雅各 在隊中住宿。
21So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22他夜間起來，帶着兩個妻子，兩個使女，並十一個兒子，都過了 雅博 渡口，
22During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23先打發他們過河，又打發所有的都過去，
23He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24只剩下 雅各 一人。有一個人來和他摔跤，直到黎明。
24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25那人見自己勝不過他，就將他的大腿窩摸了一把， 雅各 的大腿窩正在摔跤的時候就扭了。
25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
26那人說：「天黎明了，容我去吧！」 雅各 說：「你不給我祝福，我就不容你去。」
26Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27那人說：「你名叫甚麼？」他說：「我名叫 雅各 。」
27“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28那人說：「你的名不要再叫 雅各 ，要叫 以色列 ；因為你與上帝與人較力，都得了勝。」
28Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
29雅各 問他說：「請將你的名告訴我。」那人說：「何必問我的名？」於是在那裏給 雅各 祝福。
29And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
30雅各 便給那地方起名叫 毗努伊勒 ，意思說：「我面對面見了上帝，我的性命仍得保全。」
30So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31日頭剛出來的時候， 雅各 經過 毗努伊勒 ，他的大腿就瘸了。
31The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32故此， 以色列 人不吃大腿窩的筋，直到今日，因為那人摸了 雅各 大腿窩的筋。
32Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
