| 1 | Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him. | Iacob quoque abiit itinere quo coeperat: fueruntque ei obviam angeli Dei. | Ἀναστὰς δὲ Λάβαν τὸ πρωῒ, κατεφίλησε τοὺς υἱοὺς καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀποστραφεὶς Λάβαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ. |
| 2 | And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps. | Quos cum vidisset, ait: Castra Dei sunt haec: et appellavit nomen loci illius Mahanaim, id est, Castra. | Καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἶδε παρεμβολὴν Θεοῦ παρεμβεβληκυῖαν· καὶ συνήντησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἄγγελοι τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 3 | And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to the country of Edom: | Misit autem et nuntios ante se ad Esau fratrem suum in terram Seir, in regionem Edom: | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, ἡνίκα εἶδεν αὐτοὺς, παρεμβολὴ Θεοῦ αὕτη· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Παρεμβολαί. |
| 4 | And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day. | praecepitque eis, dicens: Sic loquimini domino meo Esau: Haec dicit frater tuus Iacob: Apud Laban peregrinatus sum, et fui usque in praesentem diem. | Ἀπέστειλε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀγγέλους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Σηεὶρ, εἰς χώραν Ἐδώμ. |
| 5 | I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight. | Habeo boves, et asinos, et oves, et servos, et ancillas: mittoque nunc legationem ad dominum meum, ut inveniam gratiam in conspectu tuo. | Καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς, λέγων, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἡσαῦ· οὕτως λέγει ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακώβ· μετὰ Λάβαν παρῴκησα, καὶ ἐχρόνισα ἕως τοῦ νῦν. |
| 6 | And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men. | Reversique sunt nuntii ad Iacob, dicentes: Venimus ad Esau fratrem tuum, et ecce properat tibi in occursum cum quadringentis viris. | Καὶ 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. |
| 7 | Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies, | Timuit Iacob valde: et perterritus divisit populum qui secum erat, greges quoque et oves, et boves, et camelos, in duas turmas, | Καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, λέγοντες, ἤλθομεν πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου Ἡσαυ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται εἰς συνάντησίν σου, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μεθʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 8 | Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape. | dicens: Si venerit Esau ad unam turmam, et percusserit eam, alia turma, quae relicta est, salvabitur. | Ἐφοβήθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ σφόδρα, καὶ ἠπορεῖτο· καὶ διεῖλε τὸν λαὸν τὸν μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς βόας, καὶ τὰς καμήλους, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα, εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς. |
| 9 | And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee, | Dixitque Iacob: Deus patris mei Abraham, et Deus patris mei Isaac: Domine qui dixisti mihi: Revertere in terram tuam, et in locum nativitatis tuae, et benefaciam tibi: | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ, ἐὰν ἔλθῃ Ἡσαῦ εἰς παρεμβολὴν μίαν, καὶ κόψῃ αὐτὴν, ἔσται ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἡ δευτέρα εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι. |
| 10 | I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies. | minor sum cunctis miserationibus tuis, et veritate tua quam explevisti servo tuo. In baculo meo transivi Iordanem istum: et nunc cum duabus turmis regredior. | Εἶπε 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· |
| 11 | Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children. | Erue me de manu fratris mei Esau, quia valde eum timeo: ne forte veniens percutiat matrem cum filiis. | Ἱκανούσθω 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. |
| 12 | Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. | Tu locutus es quod benefaceres mihi, et dilatares semen meum sicut arenam maris, quae prae multitudine numerari non potest. | Ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου, ἐκ χειρὸς Ἡσαῦ· ὅτι φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ αὐτὸν, μή ποτε ἐλθὼν πατάξῃ με, καὶ μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις. |
| 13 | And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau. | Cumque dormisset ibi nocte illa, separavit de his quae habebat, munera Esau fratri suo, | Σὺ δὲ εἶπας, εὐ σε ποιήσω, καὶ θήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης, ἣ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους. |
| 14 | Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, | capras ducentas, hircos viginti, oves ducentas, et arietes viginti, | Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην· καὶ ἔλαβεν ὧν ἔφερεν δῶρα· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἡσαῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, |
| 15 | Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals. | camelos foetas cum pullis suis triginta, vaccas quadraginta, et tauros viginti, asinas viginti et pullos earum decem. | αἶγας διακοσίας, τράγους εἴκοσι, πρόβατα διακόσια, κριοὺς εἴκοσι, |
| 16 | And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove. | Et misit per manus servorum suorum singulos seorsum greges, dixitque pueris suis: Antecedite me, et sit spatium inter gregem et gregem. | καμήλους θηλαζούσας καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν τριάκοντα, βόας τεσσαράκοντα, ταύρους δέκα, ὄνους εἴκοσι, καὶ πώλους δέκα. |
| 17 | And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee? | Et praecepit priori, dicens: Si obvium habueris fratrem meum Esau, et interrogaverit te: Cuius es? aut, Quo vadis? aut, Cuius sunt ista quae sequeris? | Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ ποίμνιον κατὰ μόνας· εἶπε δὲ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, προπορεύεσθε ἔμπροσθέν μου, καὶ διάστημα ποιεῖτε ἀνὰ μέσον ποίμνης καὶ ποίμνης. |
| 18 | Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob’s: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after us. | respondebis: Servi tui Iacob, munera misit domino meo Esau, ipse quoque post nos venit. | Καὶ 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; |
| 19 | In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him. | Similiter dedit mandata secundo, et tertio, et cunctis qui sequebantur greges, dicens: Iisdem verbis loquimini ad Esau cum inveneritis eum. | Ἐρεῖς, τοῦ παιδός σου Ἰακώβ· δῶρα ἀπέσταλκε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἡσαῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ὀπίσω ἡμῶν. |
| 20 | And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me. | Et addetis: Ipse quoque servus tuus Iacob iter nostrum insequitur. Dixit enim: Placabo illum muneribus quae praecedunt, et postea videbo illum: forsitan propitiabitur mihi. | Καὶ 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· |
| 21 | So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp. | Praecesserunt itaque munera ante eum, ipse vero mansit nocte illa in castris. | Καὶ 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. |
| 22 | And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. | Cumque mature surrexisset, tulit duas uxores suas, et totidem famulas cum undecim filiis, et transivit vadum Iaboc. | Καὶ προεπορεύετο τὰ δῶρα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκοιμήθη τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ. |
| 23 | And when all things were brought over that belonged to him, | Traductisque omnibus quae ad se pertinebant, | Ἀναστὰς δὲ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην, ἔλαβε τὰς δύο γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰς δύο παιδίσκας, καὶ τὰ ἕνδεκα παιδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβη τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ Ἰαβώχ. |
| 24 | He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning. | mansit solus: et ecce vir luctabatur cum eo usque mane. | Καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ διέβη τὸν χειμάῤῥουν, καὶ διεβίβασε πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ. |
| 25 | And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. | Qui cum videret quod eum superare non posset, tetigit nervum femoris eius, et statim emarcuit. | Ὑπελείφθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ μόνος· καὶ ἐπάλαιεν ἄνθρωπος μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωΐ. |
| 26 | And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me. | Dixitque ad eum: Dimitte me: iam enim ascendit aurora. Respondit: Non dimittam te, nisi benedixeris mihi. | Εἶδε 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. |
| 27 | And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. | Ait ergo: Quod nomen est tibi? Respondit: Iacob. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἀπόστειλόν με, ἀνέβη γὰρ ὁ ὄρθρος. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, οὐ μή σε ἀποστείλω, ἐὰν μή με εὐλογήσῃς. |
| 28 | But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? | At ille: Nequaquam, inquit, Iacob appellabitur nomen tuum, sed Israël: quoniam si contra Deum fortis fuisti, quanto magis contra homines praevalebis? | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, τί τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐστίν; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ἰακώβ. |
| 29 | Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. | Interrogavit eum Iacob: Dic mihi, quo appellaris nomine? Respondit: Cur quaeris nomen meum? Et benedixit ei in eodem loco. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἰακὼβ, ἀλλʼ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου· ὅτι ἐνίσχυσας μετὰ Θεοῦ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων δυνατὸς ἔσῃ. |
| 30 | And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved. | Vocavitque Iacob nomen loci illius Phanuel, dicens: Vidi Deum facie ad faciem, et salva facta est anima mea. | Ἠρώτησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τὸ ὄνομά σου· καὶ εἶπεν, ἱνατί τοῦτο ἐρωτᾷς σὺ τὸ ὄνομά μου; καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ. |
| 31 | And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. | Ortusque est ei statim sol, postquam transgressus est Phanuel: ipse vero claudicabat pede. | Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, εἶδος Θεοῦ· εἶδον γὰρ Θεὸν πρόσωπον πρὸς πρὸσωπον, καὶ ἐσώθη μου ἡ ψυχή. |
| 32 | Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob’s thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. | Quam ob causam non comedunt nervum filii Israël, qui emarcuit in femore Iacob, usque in praesentem diem: eo quod tetigerit nervum femoris eius, et obstupuerit. | Ἀνέτειλεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἥλιος, ἡνίκα παρῆλθε τὸ εἶδος τοῦ Θεοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐπέσκαζε τῷ μηρῷ αὐτοῦ. |
