¹And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

¹واما يعقوب فمضى في طريقه ولاقاه ملائكة الله.

²And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

²وقال يعقوب اذ رآهم هذا جيش الله. فدعا اسم ذلك المكان محنايم

³And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

³وارسل يعقوب رسلا قدامه الى عيسو اخيه الى ارض سعير بلاد ادوم.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:

⁴وامرهم قائلا هكذا تقولون لسيدي عيسو. هكذا قال عبدك يعقوب. تغربت عند لابان ولبثت الى الآن.

⁵And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

⁵وقد صار لي بقر وحمير وغنم وعبيد واماء. وارسلت لاخبر سيدي لكي اجد نعمة في عينيك

⁶And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

⁶فرجع الرسل الى يعقوب قائلين أتينا الى اخيك الى عيسو. وهو ايضا قادم للقائك واربع مئة رجل معه.

⁷Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

⁷فخاف يعقوب جدا وضاق به الامر. فقسم القوم الذين معه والغنم والبقر والجمال الى جيشين.

⁸And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

⁸وقال ان جاء عيسو الى الجيش الواحد وضربه يكون الجيش الباقي ناجيا

⁹And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

⁹وقال يعقوب يا اله ابي ابراهيم واله ابي اسحق الرب الذي قال لي ارجع الى ارضك والى عشيرتك فاحسن اليك.

¹⁰I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

¹⁰صغير انا عن جميع الطافك وجميع الامانة التي صنعت الى عبدك. فاني بعصاي عبرت هذا الاردن والآن قد صرت جيشين.

¹¹Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

¹¹نجّني من يد اخي من يد عيسو. لاني خائف منه ان يأتي ويضربني الام مع البنين.

¹²And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹²وانت قد قلت اني احسن اليك واجعل نسلك كرمل البحر الذي لا يعدّ للكثرة

¹³And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;

¹³وبات هناك تلك الليلة واخذ مما اتى بيده هدية لعيسو اخيه.

¹⁴Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

¹⁴مئتي عنز وعشرين تيسا مئتي نعجة وعشرين كبشا

¹⁵Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

¹⁵ثلاثين ناقة مرضعة واولادها اربعين بقرة وعشرة ثيران عشرين اتانا وعشرة حمير.

¹⁶And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.

¹⁶ودفعها الى يد عبيده قطيعا قطيعا على حدة. وقال لعبيده اجتازوا قدّامي واجعلوا فسحة بين قطيع وقطيع.

¹⁷And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?

¹⁷وامر الاول قائلا اذا صادفك عيسو اخي وسألك قائلا لمن انت والى اين تذهب ولمن هذا الذي قدامك

¹⁸Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.

¹⁸تقول لعبدك يعقوب. هو هدية مرسلة لسيدي عيسو. وها هو ايضا وراءنا.

¹⁹And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.

¹⁹وامر ايضا الثاني والثالث وجميع السائرين وراء القطعان قائلا بمثل هذا الكلام تكلّمون عيسو حينما تجدونه.

²⁰And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.

²⁰وتقولون هوذا عبدك يعقوب ايضا وراءنا. لانه قال استعطف وجهه بالهدية السائرة امامي وبعد ذلك انظر وجهه. عسى ان يرفع وجهي.

²¹So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.

²¹فاجتازت الهدية قدامه. واما هو فبات تلك الليلة في المحلّة

²²And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.

²²ثم قام في تلك الليلة واخذ امرأتيه وجاريتيه واولاده الاحد عشر وعبر مخاضة يبّوق.

²³And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

²³اخذهم واجازهم الوادي واجاز ما كان له.

²⁴And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

²⁴فبقي يعقوب وحده. وصارعه انسان حتى طلوع الفجر.

²⁵And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

²⁵ولما رأى انه لا يقدر عليه ضرب حقّ فخذه. فانخلع حقّ فخذ يعقوب في مصارعته معه.

²⁶And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

²⁶وقال اطلقني لانه قد طلع الفجر. فقال لا اطلقك ان لم تباركني.

²⁷And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

²⁷فقال له ما اسمك. فقال يعقوب.

²⁸And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁸فقال لا يدعى اسمك في ما بعد يعقوب بل اسرائيل. لانك جاهدت مع الله والناس وقدرت.

²⁹And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

²⁹وسأل يعقوب وقال اخبرني باسمك. فقال لماذا تسأل عن اسمي. وباركه هناك

³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

³⁰فدعا يعقوب اسم المكان فنيئيل. قائلا لاني نظرت الله وجها لوجه ونجّيت نفسي.

³¹And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

³¹واشرقت له الشمس اذ عبر فنوئيل وهو يخمع على فخذه.

³²Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

³²لذلك لا يأكل بنو اسرائيل عرق النّسا الذي على حقّ الفخذ الى هذا اليوم. لانه ضرب حقّ فخذ يعقوب على عرق النّسا
