1 А Иаков пошел путем своим. [И, взглянув, увидел ополчение Божие ополчившееся.] И встретили его Ангелы Божии.
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Иаков, увидев их, сказал: это ополчение Божие. И нарек имя месту тому: Маханаим.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 И послал Иаков пред собою вестников к брату своему Исаву в землю Сеир, в область Едом,
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 и приказал им, сказав: так скажите господину моему Исаву: вот что говорит раб твой Иаков: я жил у Лавана и прожил доныне;
4 He 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.
5 и есть у меня волы и ослы и мелкий скот, и рабы и рабыни; и я послал известить о себе господина моего [Исава], дабы приобрести [рабу твоему] благоволение пред очами твоими.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 И возвратились вестники к Иакову и сказали: мы ходили к брату твоему Исаву; он идет навстречу тебе, и с ним четыреста человек.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Иаков очень испугался и смутился; и разделил людей, бывших с ним, и скот мелкий и крупный и верблюдов на два стана.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 И сказал [Иаков]: если Исав нападет на один стан и побьет его, то остальной стан может спастись.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 И сказал Иаков: Боже отца моего Авраама и Боже отца моего Исаака, Господи [Боже], сказавший мне: возвратись в землю твою, на родину твою, и Я буду благотворить тебе!
9 Jacob 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,’
10 Недостоин я всех милостей и всех благодеяний, которые Ты сотворил рабу Твоему, ибо я с посохом моим перешел этот Иордан, а теперь у меня два стана.
10 I 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 crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11 Избавь меня от руки брата моего, от руки Исава, ибо я боюсь его, чтобы он, придя, не убил меня [и] матери с детьми.
11 Please 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.
12 Ты сказал: Я буду благотворить тебе и сделаю потомство твое, как песок морской, которого не исчислить от множества.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 И ночевал там Иаков в ту ночь. И взял из того, что у него было, [и послал] в подарок Исаву, брату своему:
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 двести коз, двадцать козлов, двести овец, двадцать овнов,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 тридцать верблюдиц дойных с жеребятами их, сорок коров, десять волов, двадцать ослиц, десять ослов.
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 И дал в руки рабам своим каждое стадо особо и сказал рабам своим: пойдите предо мною и оставляйте расстояние от стада до стада.
16 He 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.”
17 И приказал первому, сказав: когда брат мой Исав встретится тебе и спросит тебя, говоря: чей ты? и куда идешь? и чье это стадо [идет] пред тобою?
17 He 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?’
18 то скажи: раба твоего Иакова; это подарок, посланный господину моему Исаву; вот, и сам он за нами [идет].
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 То же [что первому] приказал он и второму, и третьему, и всем, которые шли за стадами, говоря: так скажите Исаву, когда встретите его;
19 He 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.
20 и скажите: вот, и раб твой Иаков [идет] за нами. Ибо он сказал сам в себе: умилостивлю его дарами, которые идут предо мною, и потом увижу лице его; может быть, и примет меня.
20 You 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.”
21 И пошли дары пред ним, а он ту ночь ночевал в стане.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 И встал в ту ночь, и, взяв двух жен своих и двух рабынь своих, и одиннадцать сынов своих, перешел через Иавок вброд;
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 и, взяв их, перевел через поток, и перевел все, что у него было.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 И остался Иаков один. И боролся Некто с ним до появления зари;
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 и, увидев, что не одолевает его, коснулся состава бедра его и повредил состав бедра у Иакова, когда он боролся с Ним.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 И сказал [ему]: отпусти Меня, ибо взошла заря. Иаков сказал: не отпущу Тебя, пока не благословишь меня.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 И сказал: как имя твое? Он сказал: Иаков.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
28 И сказал [ему]: отныне имя тебе будет не Иаков, а Израиль, ибо ты боролся с Богом, и человеков одолевать будешь.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Спросил и Иаков, говоря: скажи [мне] имя Твое. И Он сказал: на что ты спрашиваешь о имени Моем? [оно чудно.] И благословил его там.
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30 И нарек Иаков имя месту тому: Пенуэл; ибо, говорил он, я видел Бога лицем к лицу, и сохранилась душа моя.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 И взошло солнце, когда он проходил Пенуэл; и хромал он на бедро свое.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 Поэтому и доныне сыны Израилевы не едят жилы, которая на составе бедра, потому что Боровшийся коснулся жилы на составе бедра Иакова.
32 Therefore 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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… eternal, and of right belongs eternally to Jerusalem the free mother, where the genuine people of Israel shall be: for this name is interpreted "Seeing God;" in the desire of which reward a pious life is to be led through faith in this miserable pilgrimage.

And said to Him, "I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me." When the conqueror was blessed by the Conquered, Christ was figured.

But this Jacob, when he received another name, heard the same words, "Thou shalt not be called Jacob, but Israel shalt thou be called." Search the Scriptures, and see how that he was always called both, both Jacob and Israel.
