Parallel
Genesis 32
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδόν· καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ἴδεν παρεμβολὴν θεοῦ παρεμβεβληκυῖαν, καὶ συνήντησαν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ.
Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
εἶπεν δὲ Ἰακώβ, ἡνίκα ἴδεν αὐτούς, Παρεμβολὴ θεοῦ αὕτη· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Παπεμβολαί.
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim (note: Mahanaim means two camps.).
Ἀπέστειλεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἠσαὺ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Σηεὴρ εἰς χώραν Ἐδώμ,
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων Οὕτως ἐρεῖτε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ Οὕτως λέγει ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακώβ Μετὰ Λαβὰν παρῴκησα καὶ ἐχρόνισα ἕως τοῦ νῦν·
He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
καὶ ἐγένοντο μοι βόες καὶ ὄνοι καὶ πρόβατα καὶ παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι· καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ, ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου χάριν ἐναντίον σου.
I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι πρὸς Ἰακὼβ λέγοντες Ἤλθομεν πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου Ἠσαύ, καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς συνάντησίν σοι, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
ἐφοβεῖτο Ἰακὼβ σφόδρα, καὶ ἡπορεῖτο· καὶ διεῖλεν τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ τὰ πρόβατα εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.
In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ Ἐὰν ἔλθῃ Ἠσαὺ εἰς παρ’ ἐμβολὴν μίαν καὶ ἐκκόψῃ αὐτήν, ἔσται ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἡ δευτέρα εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι.
He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
εἶπεν δὲ Ὁ θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἰσαάκ, κύριε ὁ εἴπας μοι Ἀπότρεχε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεως σου, καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσω·
Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’
ἱκανοῦσαί μοι ἀπὸ πάσης δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ἁληθείας ἧς ἐποίησας τῷ παιδί σου· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ῥάβδῳ μου διέβην τὸν Ἰορδάνην τοῦτον, νῦν δὲ γέγονα εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.
I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου Ἠσαύ· ὅτι φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ αὐτόν, μή ποτε ἐλθὼν πατάξῃ με καὶ μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
σὺ δὲ καλῶς εὖ σε ποιήσω, καὶ θήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης, ἣ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.
But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην. καὶ ἔλαβεν ὧν ἔφερεν δῶρα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἠσαὺ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ,
Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
αἶγας διακοσίας, εἴκοσι, πρόβατα διακόσια, κριοὺς εἴκοσι,
200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
καμήλους θηλαζούσας καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν τριάκοντα, βόας τεσσεράκοντα, ταύρους δέκα, ὄνους εἴκοσι, πώλους δέκα.
30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ποίμνιον κατὰ μόνας. εἶπεν δὲ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν μου, καὶ διάστημα ποιεῖτε ἀνὰ μέσον ποίμνης καὶ ποίμνης.
He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ λέγων Ἐάν σοι συναντήσῃ Ἠσαὺ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἐρωτᾷ σε λέγων τίνος εἶ ; καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ ; καὶ τίνος ταῦτα τὰ προπορευόμενά σου ;
He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
καὶ ἐρεῖς τοῦ παιδός σου Ἰακώβ· δῶρα ἀπέσταλκεν τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ὀπίσω ἡμῶν.
then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ τῷ τρίτῳ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προπορευομένοις ὀπίσω τῶν ποιμνίων τούτων λέγων Τατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο λαλήσατε τῷ Ἠσαὺ ἐν τῷ εὑρεῖν ὑμᾶς αὐτόν,
He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
καὶ ἐρεῖτε Ἴδου ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακὼβ παραγίνεται ὀπίσω ἡμῶν. εἶπεν γάρ Ἐξιλάσομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς δώροις τοῖς προπορευομένοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ὄψομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· ἴσως γὰρ προσδέξεται τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me (note: Literally perhaps he will lift up my face). After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
καὶ προεπορεύοντο τὰ δῶρα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ. αὐτὸς ἐκοιμήθη τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
Ἀναστὰς δὲ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἔλαβεν τὰς δύο γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς δύο καὶ τὰ ἕνδεκα παιδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβη τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ
During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς καὶ διέβη τὸν χειμάρρουν, καὶ διεπάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.
He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
ὑπελείφθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ μόνος, καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρωπος ἕως πρωί.
So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
ἴδεν δὲ ὅτι οὐ δύναται πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνάρκησεν τὸ πλάτος τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῷ παλαίειν αὐτὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀπόστειλόν με· ἀνέβη γὰρ ὁ ὄρθρος. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ού μή σε ἀποστείλω, ἐὰν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς με.
Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Τί τὸ ὄνομά σού ἐστιν; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ.
“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἰακώβ, ἀλλὰ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ὄνομά σου ἔσται· ὅτι ἐνίσχυσας μετὰ θεοῦ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων δυνατός.
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob (note: Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives.), but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
ἠρώτησεν δὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τὸ ὄνομά σου. καὶ εἶπεν ἵνα τί σὺ ἐρωτᾆς τὸ ὄνομά μου ; καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ·
And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Εἶδος θεοῦ· ἴδον γὰρ θεὸν πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον, καὶ ἐσώθη μου ἡ ψυχή.
So Jacob named the place Peniel (note: Peniel means the face of God.), saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
ἀνέτειλεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἥλιος ἡνίκα παρῆλθεν τὸ Εἶδος τοῦ θεοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐπέσκαζεν τῷ μηρῷ αὐτοῦ.
The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel (note: Penuel is a variant of Peniel; see verse 30.), and he was limping because of his hip.
ἕνεκεν γὰρ τούτου οὐ μὴ φάγωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ νεῦρον ὃ ἐνάρκησεν, ὅ ἑστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακώβ, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας· ταύτης· ὅτι ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ τοῦ νεύρου, καὶ ἐνάρκησεν.’
Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
