¹A Jakob išiel svojou cestou, a stretli sa s ním anjeli Boží.

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

²A Jakob povedal, keď ich videl: Toto je tábor Boží. A preto nazval meno toho miesta: Machnajim.

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

³A Jakob poslal pred sebou poslov k Ezavovi, svojmu bratovi, do zeme Seira, do kraja Edomovho.

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

⁴A prikázal im a riekol: Takto poviete môjmu pánovi Ezavovi: Takto hovorí tvoj služobník Jakob: Býval som ako pohostín u Lábana a bol som tam až doteraz.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:

⁵A mám volov a oslov, drobné stádo a sluhov a dievky a poslal som popredku poslov oznámiť sa svojmu pánovi, aby som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach.

⁵and I have oxen, and asses, [and] flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.

⁶Potom sa navrátili poslovia k Jakobovi a vraveli: Prišli sme k tvojmu bratovi, k Ezavovi, ktorý ti aj ide oproti a štyristo mužov s ním.

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

⁷A Jakob sa veľmi bál, a bolo mu úzko. A rozdelil ľud, ktorý bol s ním, i stádo i rožný statok i veľblúdov na dva tábory,

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

⁸lebo povedal: Ak prijde Ezav k jednému táboru a zbije ho, tábor, ktorý pozostane, môže nejako uniknúť.

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

⁹A Jakob povedal: Bože môjho otca Abraháma a Bože môjho otca Izáka, Hospodine, ktorý si mi povedal: Navráť sa do svojej zeme a ku svojej rodine, a učiním ti dobre,

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

¹⁰menší som od všetkých tých skutkov milosrdenstva a od všetkej pravdy a vernosti, ktoré si učinil so svojím služobníkom, lebo len so svojou palicou som prešiel tento Jordán pred rokami a teraz som vo dva tábory.

¹⁰I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, 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 companies.

¹¹Vytrhni ma, prosím, z ruky môjho brata, z ruky Ezava, lebo sa ho bojím, aby neprišiel a nezbil ma i matky s deťmi!

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, the mother with the children.

¹²Avšak ty si povedal: Istotne ti dobre učiním a rozmnožím tvoje semeno, že ho bude jako piesku mora, ktorý nie je možné spočítať pre jeho množstvo.

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.

¹³A nocoval tam v tú noc. Potom vzal z toho, čo mu prišlo pod ruku, dar pre Ezava, svojho brata:

¹³And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:

¹⁴dvesto kôz a kozlov dvadsať, dvesto oviec a baranov dvadsať,

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

¹⁵nadájajúcich veľblúdov s ich žriebätami tridsať, štyridsať kráv a desať býkov, dvadsať oslíc a desať osliat.

¹⁵thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.

¹⁶A oddal to do ruky svojich sluhov, každé stádo osobitne a povedal svojim sluhom: Iďte predo mnou a urobte tak, aby bol priestor medzi stádom a stádom.

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

¹⁷Prvému prikázal a povedal: Keď sa stretne s tebou Ezav, môj brat, a bude sa pýtať a povie: Čí si ty? A kam ideš? A čie je toto stádo tu pred tebou?

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?

¹⁸Vtedy povieš: Tvojho služobníkov, Jakobov. Je to dar, poslaný môjmu pánovi Ezavovi. A hľa, i sám ide za nami.

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

¹⁹A prikázal i druhému i tretiemu, i všetkým, ktorí išli za stádami, a riekol: To isté hovorte aj vy Ezavovi, keď ho najdete.

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

²⁰A tiež poviete: Hľa, i tvoj služobník Jakob ide za nami.- Lebo povedal: Ukrotím jeho tvár darom, ktorý ide predo mnou, a len potom uvidím jeho tvár, snáď ma tak prijme láskavo.

²⁰and ye shall say, 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 me.

²¹A tedy išiel dar pred ním, a on nocoval tej noci v tábore.

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

²²A vstal tej noci a vzal obe svoje ženy aj obe svoje dievky aj svojich jedenásť detí a prešiel cez brod Jaboka.

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

²³A vzal ich a prepravil ich cez ten potok a prepravil všetko, čo mal.

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

²⁴A Jakob zostal samotný. A zápasil tam s ním nejaký muž až do vtedy, keď vychádzala zora.

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

²⁵A vidiac, že ho nepremôže, dotkol sa kĺbu jeho bedra, a tak sa vyšinul kĺb bedra Jakobovho, keď s ním zápasil.

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 strained, as he wrestled with him.

²⁶A riekol: Pusti ma, lebo už vychádza ranná zora. Ale on povedal: Nepustím ťa, len ak ma požehnáš.

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

²⁷A riekol mu: Č je tvoje meno? A on povedal: Jakob.

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

²⁸A riekol: Nebude sa viacej nazývať tvoje meno iba Jakob, ale aj Izrael; lebo si sa kniežatsky boril s Bohom i s ľuďmi a premohol si.

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

²⁹A Jakob sa pýtal a povedal: Oznám mi, prosím, svoje meno! Ale on riekol: Prečo sa pýtaš na moje meno? A požehnal ho tam.

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.

³⁰A Jakob nazval meno toho miesta Peniel; lebo vraj tu som videl Boha tvárou v tvár, a predsa je od záhuby vytrhnutá moja duša.

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

³¹A slnce mu vyšlo, ako prešiel Penuel, ale kulhal na svoje bedro.

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

³²Preto nejedia synovia Izraelovi žily stehna, ktorá je na kĺbe bedra, až do tohoto dňa, pretože sa rušivo dotkol kĺba bedra Jakobovho, žily stehna.

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