Berean Standard Bible
1Ἀναστὰς δὲ Λάβαν τὸ πρωῒ, κατεφίλησε τοὺς υἱοὺς καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀποστραφεὶς Λάβαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
1Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2Καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἶδε παρεμβολὴν Θεοῦ παρεμβεβληκυῖαν· καὶ συνήντησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἄγγελοι τοῦ Θεοῦ.
2When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, ἡνίκα εἶδεν αὐτοὺς, παρεμβολὴ Θεοῦ αὕτη· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Παρεμβολαί.
3Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4Ἀπέστειλε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀγγέλους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Σηεὶρ, εἰς χώραν Ἐδώμ.
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.
5Καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς, λέγων, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἡσαῦ· οὕτως λέγει ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακώβ· μετὰ Λάβαν παρῴκησα, καὶ ἐχρόνισα ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
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.’”
6Καὶ ἐγένοντό μοι βόες, καὶ ὄνοι, καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ παῖδες, καὶ παιδίσκαι· καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἡσαῦ, ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου.
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.”
7Καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, λέγοντες, ἤλθομεν πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου Ἡσαυ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται εἰς συνάντησίν σου, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μεθʼ αὐτοῦ.
7In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
8Ἐφοβήθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ σφόδρα, καὶ ἠπορεῖτο· καὶ διεῖλε τὸν λαὸν τὸν μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς βόας, καὶ τὰς καμήλους, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα, εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.
8He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
9Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ, ἐὰν ἔλθῃ Ἡσαῦ εἰς παρεμβολὴν μίαν, καὶ κόψῃ αὐτὴν, ἔσται ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἡ δευτέρα εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι.
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,’
10Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἰσαὰκ, Κύριε σὺ ὁ εἰπών μοι, ἀπότρεχε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεώς σου, καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσω·
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.
11Ἱκανούσθω μοι ἀπὸ πάσης δικαιοσύνης, καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ἀληθείας, ἧς ἐποίησας τῷ παιδί σου· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ῥάβδῳ μου ταύτῃ διέβην τὸν Ἰορδάνην τοῦτον· νυνὶ δὲ γέγονα εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.
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.
12Ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου, ἐκ χειρὸς Ἡσαῦ· ὅτι φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ αὐτὸν, μή ποτε ἐλθὼν πατάξῃ με, καὶ μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις.
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.’”
13Σὺ δὲ εἶπας, εὐ σε ποιήσω, καὶ θήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης, ἣ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.
13Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
14Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην· καὶ ἔλαβεν ὧν ἔφερεν δῶρα· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἡσαῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ,
14200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
15αἶγας διακοσίας, τράγους εἴκοσι, πρόβατα διακόσια, κριοὺς εἴκοσι,
1530 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
16καμήλους θηλαζούσας καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν τριάκοντα, βόας τεσσαράκοντα, ταύρους δέκα, ὄνους εἴκοσι, καὶ πώλους δέκα.
16He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
17Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ ποίμνιον κατὰ μόνας· εἶπε δὲ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, προπορεύεσθε ἔμπροσθέν μου, καὶ διάστημα ποιεῖτε ἀνὰ μέσον ποίμνης καὶ ποίμνης.
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?’
18Καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ, λέγων, ἐάν σοι συναντήσῃ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός μου, καὶ ἐρωτᾷ σε, λέγων, τίνος εἶ; καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ τίνος ταῦτα τὰ προπορευόμενά σου;
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.’”
19Ἐρεῖς, τοῦ παιδός σου Ἰακώβ· δῶρα ἀπέσταλκε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἡσαῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ὀπίσω ἡμῶν.
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.
20Καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ, καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ, καὶ τῷ τρίτῳ, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προπορευομένοις ὀπίσω τῶν ποιμνίων τούτων, λέγων, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο λαλήσατε Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῷ εὑρεῖν ὑμᾶς αὐτόν·
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.”
21Καὶ ἐρεῖτε, ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακὼβ παραγίνεται ὀπίσω ἡμῶν· εἶπε γὰρ, ἐξιλάσομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς δώροις τοῖς προπορευομένοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ὄψομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· ἴσως γὰρ προσδέξεται τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
21So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22Καὶ προεπορεύετο τὰ δῶρα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκοιμήθη τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
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.
23Ἀναστὰς δὲ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην, ἔλαβε τὰς δύο γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰς δύο παιδίσκας, καὶ τὰ ἕνδεκα παιδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβη τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ Ἰαβώχ.
23He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24Καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ διέβη τὸν χειμάῤῥουν, καὶ διεβίβασε πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.
24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25Ὑπελείφθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ μόνος· καὶ ἐπάλαιεν ἄνθρωπος μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωΐ.
25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
26Εἶδε δὲ ὅτι οὐ δύναται πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνάρκησε τὸ πλάτος τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῷ παλαίειν αὐτὸν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
26Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἀπόστειλόν με, ἀνέβη γὰρ ὁ ὄρθρος. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, οὐ μή σε ἀποστείλω, ἐὰν μή με εὐλογήσῃς.
27“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, τί τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐστίν; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ἰακώβ.
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.”
29Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἰακὼβ, ἀλλʼ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου· ὅτι ἐνίσχυσας μετὰ Θεοῦ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων δυνατὸς ἔσῃ.
29And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
30Ἠρώτησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τὸ ὄνομά σου· καὶ εἶπεν, ἱνατί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς σὺ τὸ ὄνομά μου; καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
30So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, εἶδος Θεοῦ· εἶδον γὰρ Θεὸν πρόσωπον πρὸς πρὸσωπον, καὶ ἐσώθη μου ἡ ψυχή.
31The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32Ἀνέτειλεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἥλιος, ἡνίκα παρῆλθε τὸ εἶδος τοῦ Θεοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐπέσκαζε τῷ μηρῷ αὐτοῦ.
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.
33Ἕνεκεν τούτου οὐ μὴ φάγωσιν υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ νεῦρον, ὃ ἐνάρκησεν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ὅτι ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ τοῦ νεύρου, ὃ ἐνάρκησεν.
