¹Aga Laaban tõusis hommikul vara, suudles oma poegi ja tütreid ning õnnistas neid; siis Laaban läks teele ja pöördus tagasi koju.

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

²Ka Jaakob läks oma teed. Aga temale tulid vastu Jumala inglid.

²And when Jacob saw them he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

³Ja Jaakob ütles, kui ta neid nägi: 'See on Jumala leer!' Ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Mahanaim.

³And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir, the fields of Edom.

⁴Siis Jaakob läkitas käskjalad enese eel oma venna Eesavi juurde Seirimaale Edomi väljadele

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord, to Esau: Thy servant Jacob speaks thus -- With Laban have I sojourned and tarried until now;

⁵ja andis neile käsu, öeldes nõnda: 'Öelge mu isandale Eesavile: Nõnda ütleb su sulane Jaakob: Ma olen tänini Laabani juures võõrana elanud ja viibinud.

⁵and I have oxen, and asses, sheep, and bondmen, and bondwomen; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in thine eyes.

⁶Mul on härgi ja eesleid, lambaid ja kitsi, sulaseid ja teenijaid, ja ma läkitan seda teatama oma isandale, et su silmis armu leida.'

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

⁷Käskjalad tulid tagasi Jaakobi juurde ja ütlesid: 'Me jõudsime su venna Eesavi juurde. Ta juba tulebki sulle vastu koos neljasaja mehega.'

⁷Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops.

⁸Siis Jaakob kartis väga ja tal oli kitsas käes; ja ta jaotas rahva, kes koos temaga oli, samuti lambad ja kitsed, veised ja kaamelid, kahte leeri,

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

⁹sest ta mõtles: Kui Eesav tuleb ühe leeri kallale ja lööb selle maha, siis teine leer pääseb.

⁹And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah, who saidst unto me: Return into thy country and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,

¹⁰Ja Jaakob ütles: 'Mu isa Aabrahami Jumal ja mu isa Iisaki Jumal, Issand, kes mulle ütlesid: Mine tagasi oma maale ja oma sugulaste seltsi, siis ma teen sulle head!

¹⁰-- I am too small for all the loving-kindness and all the faithfulness that thou hast shewn unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two troops.

¹¹Mina pole väärt kõiki neid heategusid ja kõike seda truudust, mida sa oma sulasele oled osutanud. Sest kepp käes läksin ma üle Jordani, aga nüüd on mul kaks leeri.

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

¹²Päästa mind ometi mu venna Eesavi käest, sest ma kardan, et ta tuleb ja lööb mind maha koos emade ja lastega!

¹²And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹³Sina ise aga oled öelnud: Ma teen sulle tõesti head ja lasen su soo saada mereliiva sarnaseks, mida ei saa ära lugeda selle rohkuse pärast!'

¹³And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother --

¹⁴Ja ta jäi selleks ööks sinna ning võttis sellest, mis oli saanud tema omaks, oma vennale Eesavile kingituseks

¹⁴two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats; two hundred ewes, and twenty rams;

¹⁵kakssada kitse ja kakskümmend sikku, kakssada emalammast ja kakskümmend jäära,

¹⁵thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twenty she-asses, and ten young asses.

¹⁶kolmkümmend imetajat kaamelit ja nende varssa, nelikümmend lehma ja kümme härjavärssi, kakskümmend emaeeslit ja kümme eeslitäkku.

¹⁶And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.

¹⁷Ja ta andis need oma sulaste kätte, iga karja eraldi, ja ütles oma sulastele: 'Minge minu eel ja jätke vahemaa iga karja vahele!'

¹⁷And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?

¹⁸Ja ta käskis esimest, öeldes: 'Kui mu vend Eesav tuleb sulle vastu, küsib sinult ja ütleb: Kelle oma sa oled ja kuhu sa lähed, ja kelle omad on need, kes su ees on?,

¹⁸-- then thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.

¹⁹siis vasta: Need on su sulase Jaakobi omad, kingitus, mis läkitatakse mu isandale Eesavile, ja vaata, ka tema ise tuleb meie taga!'

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

²⁰Ja ta käskis ka teist ja kolmandat ja kõiki muid, kes karjade järel käisid, öeldes: 'Te peate Eesavile ütlema sedasama, kui te teda kohtate!

²⁰And, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.

²¹Ja öelge ka: Vaata, su sulane Jaakob tuleb meie taga!' Sest ta mõtles: Ma lepitan teda kingitusega, mis mu eel läheb. Alles pärast seda ilmun ma ise tema ette, vahest võtab ta mind siis armulikult vastu.

²¹And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

²²Nõnda läks kingitus tema eel, aga ta ise jäi selleks ööks leeri.

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

²³Kuid veel selsamal ööl ta tõusis üles ja võttis oma mõlemad naised ja mõlemad teenijad ja oma üksteist poega ja läks läbi Jabboki koolme.

²³and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.

²⁴Ta võttis nad ja viis üle jõe, samuti viis ta üle, mis tal oli.

²⁴And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.

²⁵Aga Jaakob ise jäi üksinda maha. Siis heitles üks mees temaga, kuni hakkas koitma.

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

²⁶Aga kui see nägi, et ta ei saanud võimust tema üle, siis ta lõi tema puusaliigest; ja Jaakobi puusaliiges nihkus paigast, kui ta heitles temaga.

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

²⁷Ja mees ütles: 'Lase mind lahti, sest juba koidab!' Aga tema vastas: 'Ei ma lase sind mitte, kui sa mind ei õnnista!'

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

²⁸Siis ta küsis temalt: 'Mis su nimi on?' Ja ta vastas: 'Jaakob.'

²⁸And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁹Seepeale ütles tema: 'Su nimi ärgu olgu enam Jaakob, vaid olgu Iisrael, sest sa oled võidelnud Jumala ja inimestega ja oled võitnud!'

²⁹And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.

³⁰Siis küsis Jaakob ja ütles: 'Ütle nüüd mulle oma nimi!' Aga ta vastas: 'Miks sa mu nime küsid?' Ja ta õnnistas teda seal.

³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.

³¹Ja Jaakob pani sellele paigale nimeks Penuel, sest ta ütles: 'Kuigi ma nägin Jumalat palgest palgesse, pääses siiski mu hing!'

³¹And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.

³²Päike tõusis, kui ta puusast longates Penuelist edasi läks.

³²Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh -- the sinew.

³³Seepärast Iisraeli lapsed ei söö tänapäevani puusanärvi, mis on puusaliigese küljes, sest ta oli löönud Jaakobi puusaliigest puusanärvi kohal.
