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

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

²When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.

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

³Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

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

⁴He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.

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

⁵I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”

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

⁶The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.”

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

⁷Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;

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

⁸and he said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”

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,

⁹Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’

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

¹⁰I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

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!

¹¹Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers with the children.

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.

¹²You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which can’t be numbered because there are so many.’”

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

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

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!'

¹⁴two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

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

¹⁵thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

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

¹⁶He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”

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

¹⁷He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’

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

¹⁸Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”

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?,

¹⁹He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

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

²⁰You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled.

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

²⁶The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go, unless you bless me.”

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.

²⁷He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”

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

²⁸He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

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

²⁹Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” He blessed him there.

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

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

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

³¹The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.

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

³²Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.

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

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