创世记第32章

《圣经》创世记-第32章

创32:1 雅各仍旧行路，上帝的使者遇见他。

†[吕]雅各走着自己的路，有上帝的使者挡着他。

†[思]拉班清早起来，与自己的外孙和女儿吻别，祝福了他们，便起身回本乡去了。

†[当代]雅各继续前行，在途中遇见上帝的使者。

†[新译]雅各继续他的路程，　神的众使者遇见他。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为32:2）

†[Wlb]雅各复行、上帝之使遇焉、

†[Xdv]雅各继续他的旅程；路上，上帝的使者来见他。

†[Kjv]And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

†[Nkjv]So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

†[BBE]And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.

†[GNT] As Jacob went on his way, some angels met him.

†[NIV]Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

创32:2 雅各看见他们就说：“这是上帝的军兵”，于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念（就是二军兵的意思）。 (串)书5:14路2:13|书21:38撒下2:8;17:24,27王上2:8

†[吕]雅各看见他们就说：“这是上帝的军队”；于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念（即两个军队之意义）。

†[思]雅各伯也上道前行，遇见了天主的使者。

†[当代]雅各看见他们，就说：“这儿是上帝的营地！”于是就叫那地方作玛哈念，玛哈念就是两个营地的意思。

†[新译]雅各看见他们，就说：“这是　神的军队。”于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念。

†[Wlb]雅各见之曰、此乃上帝之军、故名其地曰玛哈念、

†[Xdv]雅各看见他们就说：“这是上帝的军队！”于是他叫那地方玛哈念（希伯来语的意思是：两支军队）。

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

†[Nkjv]When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's camp." And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

†[BBE]And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.

†[GNT] When he saw them, he said, "This is God's camp"; so he named the place Mahanaim.

†[NIV]When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is the camp of God!" So he named that place Mahanaim.

本会注释　　玛哈念。意思就是“二军营”或“二军兵”，指两队天使，一队在他的前面，一队在他的后面。他们的出现一定使雅各想起了他逃离迦南时在伯特利所看到的天梯的异象。当时那些上去下来的天使向他表明上帝在他的旅程中以及在异乡寄居时的保护与帮助。现在，天军的出现再次给他带来了上帝帮助的保证，这次是针对他即将与以扫可怕的相遇，同时也重申带领他平安返乡的应许。雅各是在行路时看见天使的，因此不可能是在梦中向他显现的。但我们不清楚到底是什么样的启示方式。
　　在天使显现的地方附近，后来建立起一座著名的城市（书13:26,30；21:38；撒下2:8,12,29）。有人将其认定为现今的玛赫拿（Machna），位于耶路斯（Djerash），即古代的格拉森西北约20公里的地方。

创32:3 雅各打发人先往西珥地去，就是以东地，见他哥哥以扫， (串)创36:8,9申2:5书24:4

†[吕]雅各打发使者在他前面、往西珥地，以东乡间，去见他哥哥以扫。

†[思]雅各伯一见他们就说：“这是天主的营地。”遂给那地方起名叫玛哈纳因。

†[当代]雅各先派人到以东的西珥地去，通知他哥哥以扫说：“你仆人雅各自从离家以后，就一直住在舅父拉班家里，

†[新译]雅各先派使者到西珥地，就是以东的地区，他的哥哥以扫那里去，

†[Wlb]雅各遣人、先往西珥地以东田、见兄以扫、

†[Xdv]雅各派他的使者们先往以东地区见他哥哥以扫，

†[Kjv]And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

†[BBE]Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;

†[GNT] Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the country of Edom.

†[NIV]Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

创32:4 吩咐他们说：“你们对我主以扫说：‘你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，直到如今。

†[吕]吩咐他们说：“你们对我主以扫这样说：‘你仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，滞留到如今。

†[思]雅各伯先派使者，往厄东乡间色依尔地方，他哥哥厄撒乌那去，

†[当代]－

†[新译]吩咐他们说：“你们要对我主以扫这样说：‘你的仆人雅各这样说：我在拉班那里寄居，一直到现在。

†[Wlb]嘱曰、告我主以扫云、尔仆雅各曰、我旅于拉班家、越至今日、

†[Xdv]吩咐他们转告以扫：“我们的主人，就是你的仆人雅各，吩咐我们向我主以扫说：‘我跟拉班住了一段时期，延迟到现在才回来。

†[Kjv]And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:

†[Nkjv]And he commanded them, saying, "Speak thus to my lord Esau, "Thus your servant Jacob says: "I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now.

†[BBE]And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:

†[GNT] He instructed them to say: "I, Jacob, your obedient servant, report to my master Esau that I have been staying with Laban and that I have delayed my return until now.

†[NIV]He instructed them: "This is what you are to say to my master Esau: 'Your servant Jacob says, I have been staying with Laban and have remained there till now.

本会注释　　雅各从玛哈念打发信使到他哥哥以扫那里去。自从雅各逃离别是巴以后，以扫似乎暂时向东南方迁移到西珥地，即以东地。这里原来居住的是何利人，后来以扫将他们赶出去了。信使要讲清“我主以扫”和“你的仆人雅各”。他们的任务就是安抚以扫。这主要是通过强调雅各的卑微（间接承认他的错误），以及他放弃对财产的一切要求。信使要指出雅各是带着许多财富回来的。这不是在夸耀，而是向以扫表明他不想分遗产。雅各自知理亏，认识到和解的第一步必须由他迈出。带着这种想法，他在其信息中加上了期望以扫能饶恕他并且友好地接纳他的话。

创32:5 我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在打发人来报告我主，为要在你眼前蒙恩。’” (串)创33:8,15

†[吕]我有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢；现在打发人来告诉我主，为要求赏赏脸。’”

†[思]吩咐他们说：“你们应对我主厄撒乌这样说：你的仆人雅各伯这样说：我在拉班那作客，一直到现在。

†[当代]现在他带了牛羊、驴和仆婢回来，他特别派我们先来报信，希望你善待我们。”

†[新译]我拥有牛、驴、羊群、仆婢，现在派人来报告我主，希望得到你的欢心。’”

†[Wlb]有牛羊驴仆婢、特遣人告我主、望沾主恩、

†[Xdv]我拥有牛、驴、绵羊、山羊，和仆人。现在我先派人来报告我主，希望得到我主的欢心。’”

†[Kjv]And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

†[Nkjv]I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.""'

†[BBE]And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.

†[GNT] I own cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and slaves. I am sending you word, sir, in the hope of gaining your favor."

†[NIV]I have cattle and donkeys, sheep and goats, menservants and maidservants. Now I am sending this message to my lord, that I may find favor in your eyes.' "

创32:6 所打发的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。” (串)创33:1

†[吕]使者回来见雅各说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他也正来着要迎接你；并且还有四百人同他一齐来。

†[思]我拥有牛、驴、羊和仆婢，现在打发人报告我主，希望得你的恩爱。”

†[当代]报信的人回到雅各那里，说：“我们已经见到你哥哥以扫，他现在正带著四百人来接你呢！”

†[新译]使者回到雅各那里说：“我们到了你哥哥以扫那里，他带着四百人，正迎着你来。”

†[Wlb]使者反告雅各曰、吾侪诣尔兄以扫、彼率四百人来迎尔、

†[Xdv]使者回来，向雅各报告：“我们遇见你的哥哥以扫；他已经出发，带了四百人，要来跟你相会。”

†[Kjv]And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

†[Nkjv]Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."

†[BBE]When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.

†[GNT] When the messengers came back to Jacob, they said, "We went to your brother Esau, and he is already on his way to meet you. He has four hundred men with him."

†[NIV]When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, "We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."

本会注释　　以扫带着四百名武装随从前来，表证他已成为一个强大的酋长。他可能已经开始依靠刀剑度日了（创27:40）。
　　即或以扫对他兄弟的敌意已随着时间的流逝而消退了，他也似乎从未对父母提起过，所以利百加一直不能实现她派人叫回雅各的应许（创27:45）。雅各不了解他哥哥的心态。他听了信使的回复后忧心忡忡。这使他变得格外警惕。以扫之所以带着这么多的人来迎见雅各，首先要使雅各对他的权威怀着应有的尊敬；其次是为了确保一个满意的和解；另外，若有必要，他可以用武力在维护自身的利益。换句话说，他已做好了一切准备。

创32:7 雅各就甚惧怕，而且愁烦，便把那与他同在的人口和羊群、牛群、骆驼分做两队，

†[吕]雅各非常害怕，并且着急，就把跟随他的人口、和羊群、牛群、骆驼、分做两营；

†[思]使者回来见雅各伯说：“我们到了你哥哥厄撒乌那，他正前来迎接你；同他来的尚有四百人。”

†[当代]雅各听了这消息就非常害怕，他把随从、牛群、羊群和骆驼分成两队，

†[新译]雅各感到非常惧怕和焦虑，就把随行的人、羊群、牛群和骆驼，分成两队，

†[Wlb]雅各大惧、且忧、以从者及牛羊驼、分为二队、

†[Xdv]雅各又惊慌又焦虑。他把随行的人分成两队，把绵羊、山羊、牛、骆驼也分成两队。

†[Kjv]Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

†[Nkjv]So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.

†[BBE]Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;

†[GNT] Jacob was frightened and worried. He divided into two groups the people who were with him, and also his sheep, goats, cattle, and camels.

†[NIV]In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well.

本会注释　　唯恐会发生最坏的情况，雅各将他一大家子人和众多的牲口分为两队。我们可能觉得雅各对上帝缺乏信心，但他在这种危急情况下所采取的谨慎行动表明了他清醒的判断。他毫无抵御能力，甚至不愿意显示他的武力。

创32:8 说：“以扫若来击杀这一队，剩下的那一队还可以逃避。”

†[吕]心里说：“假使以扫来击杀这一营，剩下的那一营还可以逃跑。”

†[思]雅各伯大为震惊，很是忧虑，遂将自己的人和羊群牛群及骆驼分作两队，

†[当代]心想：“如果以扫来攻击其中一队，余下的一队就有机会可以逃生。”

†[新译]心里想：“即使以扫来击杀这一队，余下的一队还可以逃脱。”

†[Wlb]曰、若以扫来击此队、则彼队可逃、

†[Xdv]他想：“要是以扫袭击第一队，另一队或者有机会逃脱。”

†[Kjv]And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

†[Nkjv]And he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape."

†[BBE]And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.

†[GNT] He thought, "If Esau comes and attacks the first group, the other may be able to escape."

†[NIV]He thought, "If Esau comes and attacks one group, the group that is left may escape."

创32:9 雅各说：“耶和华我祖亚伯拉罕的上帝，我父亲以撒的上帝啊，你曾对我说：‘回你本地本族去，我要厚待你。’ (串)创28:13;31:42,53|创31:3,13

†[吕]雅各说：“永恒主，我祖亚伯拉罕的上帝，我父以撒的上帝阿，你曾对我说：‘回你本地、本亲族那里去；我要好待你。’

†[思]心想如果厄撒乌前来攻击一队，剩下的另一队还可逃跑。

†[当代]之后，他就祷告，说：“我祖父亚伯拉罕和我父亲以撒的上帝啊！你吩咐我返回家乡，回到我亲族那里去，并且答应要厚待我。

†[新译]雅各说：“耶和华，我祖亚伯拉罕的　神，我父以撒的　神啊，你曾经对我说过：‘回到你自己的故乡，到你的亲族那里去，我必厚待你。’

†[Wlb]遂祷曰、吾祖亚伯拉罕之上帝、吾父以撒之上帝耶和华欤、昔尔命我回故土、返戚属、许待以善、

†[Xdv]雅各祷告说：“我祖父亚伯拉罕的上帝啊，我父亲以撒的上帝啊，求你垂听！上主啊，你曾经吩咐我回故乡，到我家族那里去，并且说要使我事事顺利。

†[Kjv]And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, "Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you':

†[BBE]Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:

†[GNT] Then Jacob prayed, "God of my grandfather Abraham and God of my father Isaac, hear me! You told me, Lord, to go back to my land and to my relatives, and you would make everything go well for me.

†[NIV]Then Jacob prayed, "O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O Lord , who said to me, 'Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,'

本会注释　　这种祷告的方式简明而有力，表达了祈求所需要的一切：（1）真正的谦卑，（2）承认上帝的仁慈，（3）恳求保护脱离面临的危险，（4）重复过去的应许，（5）对过去眷佑的感激。

创32:10 你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实，我一点也不配得；我先前只拿着我的杖过这约但河，如今我却成了两队了。 (串)撒下7:18

†[吕]你向你仆人所施的一切慈爱一切忠信，我是太渺小而不配得的。我先前只拿着我的行杖过这约旦河，如今我竟成了两营了。

†[思]然后雅各伯祈求说：“我父亚巴郎的天主，我父依撒格的天主、上主！你曾对我说：回到你本乡，你本家去，我必使你顺利。

†[当代]我实在一点也不配接受你对我所施的慈爱和信实，我先前过约旦河的时候，手上就只有一根杖，现在却有两大队人丁家畜。

†[新译]你向你仆人所施的一切慈爱和信实，我实在不配得。从前我只拿着我的手杖过这约旦河；现在我却拥有这两队人马了。

†[Wlb]尔所施于仆之恩宠诚实、即至微者、亦不堪受、昔我惟执一杖、济此约但、今我已成二队、

†[Xdv]我不配领受你向仆人显示的一切仁慈和信实。从前，我手里只带着一根杖渡过约旦河；现在，我却带了这两队人回来。

†[Kjv]I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

†[Nkjv]I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.

†[BBE]I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

†[GNT] I am not worth all the kindness and faithfulness that you have shown me, your servant. I crossed the Jordan with nothing but a walking stick, and now I have come back with these two groups.

†[NIV]I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two groups.

本会注释　　雅各似乎离他二十年前过约但河的地方不远。他先前的贫穷与现今的富足形成了鲜明的对比。他将这一切视为上帝赐福的标志和祂在伯特利所发之应许的应验。他当初空手过河，所有的只是他父亲的祝福和上帝的应许；现在时隔二十年，他却带着一大家子的人和许多财富返回他的故乡。“两队”（第7节）中的任何一队都足以使他成为一个富有的人。

创32:11 求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手；因为我怕他来杀我，连妻子带儿女一同杀了。 (串)箴18:19

†[吕]求你援救我脱离我哥哥的手，以扫的手，因为我怕他，恐怕他来击杀我，连做母亲的带做儿女的都杀了。

†[思]我本不配获得你向你仆人所施的种种慈恩和忠信，我只带了一条棍杖过了这约但河，现在我却拥有两队人马。

†[当代]主啊！求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手，我真是十分害怕，我怕他会来攻击我，把我的妻儿杀掉。

†[新译]求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手，因为我怕他来击杀我，连母亲和孩子也击杀了。

†[Wlb]求尔拯我、脱于吾兄以扫之手、盖我惧之、恐其来击我、爰及母子、

†[Xdv]求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手。我怕他来攻击我们，连妻子儿女都杀灭。

†[Kjv]Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

†[Nkjv]Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children.

†[BBE]Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.

†[GNT] Save me, I pray, from my brother Esau. I am afraid - afraid that he is coming to attack us and destroy us all, even the women and children.

†[NIV]Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children.

本会注释　　连妻子带儿女一同。直译为“母亲在儿女之上”，描绘了一位母亲趴在儿女上面，用自己的身体来抵挡凶手。雅各知道他的哥哥如果生气了，就会毫不犹豫地将他们全部杀死。他惟恐最坏的事发生。

创32:12 你曾说：‘我必定厚待你，使你的后裔如同海边的沙，多得不可胜数。’” (串)创28:13-15

†[吕]你曾说：“我必定好待你，使你的后裔像海沙、多得不可胜数。’”

†[思]求你救我脱离我哥哥厄撒乌的手，因为我怕他来击杀我，击杀母亲和孩子。

†[当代]你曾说：‘我要厚待你，使你的后代多如海边的沙，数不胜数。’”

†[新译]你曾经说过：‘我必厚待你，使你的后裔好像海边的沙一样，多到不可胜数。’”

†[Wlb]尔曾许待以善、使我苗裔、如海之沙、不可胜数、

†[Xdv]求你记住你自己的诺言，你应许我事事顺利，要赐给我多子多孙，像海滩的沙粒，多得没有人能够数算。”

†[Kjv]And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

†[Nkjv]For You said, "I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude."'

†[BBE]And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.

†[GNT] Remember that you promised to make everything go well for me and to give me more descendants than anyone could count, as many as the grains of sand along the seashore."

†[NIV]But you have said, 'I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.' "

本会注释　　这是伯特利应许的大意（创28:14），不过措辞不完全相同，那里把雅各后裔的数量比作地上的尘沙。此前，上帝曾应许亚伯拉罕的后裔多如地上的尘沙（创13:16），天上的众星（创15:5）和海边的沙（创22:17）。

创32:13 当夜，雅各在那里住宿，就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫： (串)创43:11箴18:16;19:6;21:14

†[吕]那一夜，雅各就在那里过夜。他从那进他手的东西取了礼物、要送给他哥哥以扫：

†[思]你原来说过：我必要恩待你，使你的后代如海沙，多得不可胜数。”

†[当代]那天晚上，雅各就在那里歇宿，又预备好送给哥哥以扫的礼物：

†[新译]那天晚上，雅各在那里过夜。然后从他所拥有的牲畜中，取出一部分，作为给他哥哥以扫的礼物，

†[Wlb]是夜雅各宿于彼、简其所有、馈兄以扫、

†[Xdv]雅各在那里过了一夜。他从他的牲畜中挑选一部份作为送给哥哥以扫的礼物：

†[Kjv]And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;

†[Nkjv]So he lodged there that same night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother:

†[BBE]Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,

†[GNT] After spending the night there, Jacob chose from his livestock as a present for his brother Esau: 200 female goats and 20 males, 200 female sheep and 20 males, 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows and 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 males.

†[NIV]He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift for his brother Esau:

本会注释　　雅各虽然相信耶和华的保护，但他没有疏忽任何与他哥哥和好的机会。当他得知以扫逼近后，随即就地安营过夜，并挑选了由五百五十头牲口组成的贵重礼物。他将这些牲畜分批送往以扫那里，作为“仆人”雅各的“礼物”。被选的牲口都是牧民通常拥有的种类（见伯1:3；42:12）。公母的数量可能是按照经验所证明最适合交配的比例搭配的。

创32:14 母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，

†[吕]就是母山羊二百只、公山羊二十只、母绵羊二百只、公绵羊二十只、

†[思]那夜雅各伯就在那过夜。然后，就由他所有的财物中选出一些来，送给他哥哥厄撒乌作礼物：

†[当代]母山羊二百只、公山羊二十只、母绵羊二百只、公绵羊二十只、哺乳的骆驼三十头，和它们带著的小骆驼、母牛四十头、公牛十头、母驴二十匹、驴驹十匹。

†[新译]就是母山羊二百只、公山羊二十只、母绵羊二百只、公绵羊二十只、

†[Wlb]即山羊牝二百、牡二十、绵羊牝二百、牡二十、

†[Xdv]母山羊两百只，公山羊二十只；母绵羊两百只，公绵羊二十只；

†[Kjv]Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

†[Nkjv]two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

†[BBE]Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

创32:15 奶崽子的骆驼三十只，各带着崽子，母牛四十只，公牛十只，母驴二十匹，驴驹十匹；

†[吕]奶崽子的骆驼三十只、和它们的崽子、母牛四十只、公牛十只、母驴二十只、驴驹十只。

†[思]计有母山羊二百只，公山羊二十只，母绵羊二百只，公绵羊二十只，

†[当代]－

†[新译]哺乳的母骆驼三十匹，各带着驹子，母牛四十头、公牛十头、母驴二十头、公驴十头。

†[Wlb]牝驼与子三十、牝牛四十、牡牛十、牝驴二十、小驴十、

†[Xdv]哺乳的母骆驼三十头，各带着小骆驼；母牛四十头，公牛十头；母驴二十匹，公驴十匹。

†[Kjv]Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

†[Nkjv]thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

†[BBE]Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

创32:16 每样各分一群，交在仆人手下，就对仆人说：“你们要在我前头过去，使群群相离，有空闲的地方”；

†[吕]交在仆人手下，一群一群独立；又对仆人说：“你们在我前面过去，使一群一群之间有个距离。”

†[思]哺乳的母骆驼同驼驹叁十头，母牛四十头，公牛十头，母驴二十匹，公驴十匹。

†[当代]雅各按牲畜的种类，每类各分成一群，交给仆人看管。雅各对他们说：“你们走在前头，每群牲畜之间要保持一段距离！”

†[新译]雅各把这些分成一队一队，交在仆人的手里，又对仆人说：“你们先过去，每队之间要留一段距离。”

†[Wlb]各为其群、付于仆手、曰、尔先我往、使各群相距、

†[Xdv]他把这些牲畜一群一群地分开，每一群派一个仆人管理。他吩咐他们：“你们先走！群与群当中要留一段距离。”

†[Kjv]And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.

†[Nkjv]Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves."

†[BBE]These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.

†[GNT] He divided them into herds and put one of his servants in charge of each herd. He said to them, "Go ahead of me, and leave a space between each herd and the one behind it."

†[NIV]He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, "Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds."

本会注释　　雅各将礼品分成好几批是为了制造一种连续的效应，给人以更深刻的印象。单单一群就够贵重的了。

创32:17 又吩咐尽先走的说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，问你说：‘你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前头这些是谁的？’

†[吕]又吩咐头里走的人说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，若问你说：‘你是哪家的人？要往哪里去？你前面这些是谁的？’

†[思]他将这些分成一队一队的交给自己的仆人，对他们说：“你们应走在我前面，每队之间应隔开些。”

†[当代]又吩咐领先的仆人说：“我哥哥以扫遇到你的时候，如果他问你是谁家的人？又问你要到哪里去？这些牲畜是谁的？

†[新译]他又吩咐走在最前的仆人说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，如果问你：‘你的主人是谁？你要到哪里去？在你前面的这些牲畜是谁的？’

†[Wlb]嘱其前者曰、我兄以扫遇尔、问尔属谁、将何往、尔前之畜属谁、

†[Xdv]他指示领先的那一个仆人说：“我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候，若问你：‘你的主人是谁？你往哪里去？你前面的这些牲畜是谁的？’

†[Kjv]And 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?

†[Nkjv]And he commanded the first one, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, "To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?'

†[BBE]And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?

†[GNT] He ordered the first servant, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, "Who is your master? Where are you going? Who owns these animals in front of you?'

†[NIV]He instructed the one in the lead: "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, 'To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?'

创32:18 你就说：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边。’”

†[吕]你就说：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物；他自己也在我们后边呢。’”

†[思]然后吩咐第一队说：“几时我哥哥厄撒乌遇见你，问你说：你是谁家的？你往那去？你前面这些牲畜是谁的？

†[当代]你就说：‘这是你仆人雅各送给主人以扫的礼物，他自己就跟在后面！’”

†[新译]你就要回答：‘是你仆人雅各的，是送给我主以扫的礼物，他自己也在我们后面。’”

†[Wlb]则曰、属我主之仆雅各、以馈我主以扫、雅各亦在后、

†[Xdv]你就回答：‘这些都是你仆人雅各的；他要送给他主人以扫作礼物。他本人就在我们后头。’”

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

†[Nkjv]then you shall say, "They are your servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us."'

†[BBE]Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.

†[GNT] you must answer, "They belong to your servant Jacob. He sends them as a present to his master Esau. Jacob himself is right behind us.' "

†[NIV]then you are to say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.' "

创32:19 又吩咐第二、第三，和一切赶群畜的人说：“你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说；

†[吕]又吩咐第二第三的、以及一切赶牲畜群的人都说：“你们遇着以扫的时候，也要这样对他说；

†[思]你要答说：是你仆人雅各伯的，是送给我主厄撒乌的礼物。看，他自己就在我们后面。”

†[当代]雅各又去吩咐其他赶牲畜的仆人，教他们在遇见以扫的时候就说：

†[新译]他又吩咐第二个、第三个和所有跟在队伍后面的人说：“你们遇见以扫的时候，都要这样对他说。

†[Wlb]又嘱其二其三、暨一切驱畜者曰、尔遇以扫、亦宜如是告之、

†[Xdv]他同样地指示第二批第三批，以及所有赶牲畜的人：“你们遇到以扫的时候都要这样回答，

†[Kjv]And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.

†[Nkjv]So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, "In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;

†[BBE]And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;

†[GNT] He gave the same order to the second, the third, and to all the others who were in charge of the herds: "This is what you must say to Esau when you meet him.

†[NIV]He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: "You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.

创32:20 并且你们要说：‘你仆人雅各在我们后边。’”因雅各心里说：“我藉着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他容纳我。”

†[吕]你们也要说：‘看哪，你仆人雅各还在我们后边呢。’”因为雅各心里说：“我用在我前面走的礼物去解他的恨，然后再见他的面，或者他会让我的脸抬得起。”

†[思]他也吩咐了第二第叁队，和跟在每队后面的人说：“你们若遇见厄撒乌，都要照这话回答他。

†[当代]“雅各就在后面。”因为他想先用礼物去化解他的怨恨，等到真的见面的时候，以扫或许因此就善待他。

†[新译]你们还要说：‘你的仆人雅各在我们后面。’”因为他心里想：“我先送礼物去，借此与他和解，然后再与他见面，或者他会原谅我。”

†[Wlb]且曰、尔仆雅各在后、盖雅各自谓、必以前行之礼物、释兄之憾、然后觌面、庶几接我、

†[Xdv]一定要说：‘你的仆人雅各就在后头。’”雅各心里想：“我要用这些礼物赢得他的欢心，见面的时候，他也许会饶恕我。”

†[Kjv]And say ye 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 of me.

†[Nkjv]and also say, "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."

†[BBE]And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.

†[GNT] You must say, "Yes, your servant Jacob is right behind us.' " Jacob was thinking, "I will win him over with the gifts, and when I meet him, perhaps he will forgive me."

†[NIV]And be sure to say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.' " For he thought, "I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me."

创32:21 于是礼物先过去了；那夜，雅各在队中住宿。

†[吕]于是礼物在他前面过去了。那一夜雅各在营中过夜。

†[思]并且还要说：看，你的仆人雅各伯就在我们后面。”因为他心想：“如果我先送礼向他讨好，然后才与他见面，也许他会欢迎我。”

†[当代]于是，他当天晚上就先派人把礼物送去，自己就留在营里。

†[新译]于是礼物先过去了；那天晚上雅各在营中过夜。

†[Wlb]于是礼物先行、雅各是夜宿于队中、

†[Xdv]于是他使押送礼物的先走，自己留在营中过夜。

†[Kjv]So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.

†[Nkjv]So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.

†[BBE]So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.

†[GNT] He sent the gifts on ahead of him and spent that night in camp.

†[NIV]So Jacob's gifts went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.

创32:22 他夜间起来，带着两个妻子，两个使女，并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口， (串)申2:37;3:16书12:2

†[吕]那一夜雅各起来，带着他的两个妻子、两个婢女，和十一个孩子、过了雅博渡。

†[思]于是礼物先他而行，他自己当夜仍留在营内。

†[当代]那天晚上，雅各起来，带著两个妻子、两个妾侍和十一个儿子在浅水的地方过了雅博河，

†[新译]雅各那夜起来，带着他的两个妻子、两个婢女和十一个孩子，都过了雅博渡口。

†[Wlb]雅各夜起、使二妻二婢及十一子、济雅博渡、

†[Xdv]当晚，雅各起来，带着他的两个妻子、两个妾，和十一个儿女渡过雅博河。

†[Kjv]And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.

†[Nkjv]And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.

†[BBE]And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.

†[GNT] That same night Jacob got up, took his two wives, his two concubines, and his eleven children, and crossed the Jabbok River.

†[NIV]That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

创32:23 先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，

†[吕]他带着他们，打发他们过河，又打发他所有的都过去。，

†[思]他当夜起来，带了他的两个妻子，两个婢女和十一个孩子，由浅处过了雅波克河。

†[当代]－

†[新译]他带着他们，先打发他们过河，然后又打发他所有的都过去。

†[Wlb]眷聚既济、凡所有者亦济、

†[Xdv]他们都渡过以后，他又把所有的一切都运送过河，

†[Kjv]And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

†[Nkjv]He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.

†[BBE]He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.

†[GNT] After he had sent them across, he also sent across all that he owned,

†[NIV]After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.

本会注释　　当日早些时候，雅各已将礼物送给以扫。夜幕降临时，他把家人和财产都送过雅博河，自己想在祷告中度过这一夜。雅博河现在叫泽尔奎河（Nahr ez-Zerqa），意思就是“蓝色的河”。它是约但河东部的一条支流，流经一个深邃的峡谷，在死海以北约40多公里的地方汇入主流。

创32:24 只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。 (串)何12:3,4

†[吕]只剩下雅各自己一人，有一个人来同他摔跤，直到天快亮的时候。

†[思]等他们过了河，也叫自己所有的过了河，

†[当代]然后自己再回到营内，独自留下。就在这时，有一个人来和他角力，直到黎明。

†[新译]只留下雅各一人，有一个人来与他摔角，直到天快亮的时候。

†[Wlb]雅各独留、遇一人与之角力、迄于黎明、

†[Xdv]自己一个人留在后面。有一个人来跟雅各摔角，一直搏斗到天快亮的时候。

†[Kjv]And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

†[BBE]Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.

†[GNT] but he stayed behind, alone. Then a man came and wrestled with him until just before daybreak.

†[NIV]So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.

怀爱伦注释　　制服自己必得胜利──雅各“曾与天使较力并胜了他。”这个有罪的人藉着谦卑、悔改和克己，胜过天上的大能者，他以他发颤的手牢牢地抓住上帝的应许，而那无穷之爱的心是不能不听这个罪人的恳求……
　　但愿人人要努力获得胜利，当人将自己归顺于上帝时，就必得到胜利。（1903.2号手稿）
本会注释　　雅各留在河的北岸，是为了独自在祷告中寻求上帝。在目前的情况下，他平时的精明已毫无用处。只有上帝才能帮助平息以扫的忿怒，并拯救雅各和他的家人。
　　有一个人来和他摔跤。雅各的对手不是凡人也不是普通天使，因为雅各称祂为上帝（第30节）。先知何西阿既称祂为上帝又称其为天使（何12:3,4）。这位天外来客其实就是基督（《先祖与先知》第197页）。基督以人的形象出现既不奇怪也不是唯一的一次（创18:1）。关于“雅各遭难的时候”，见@耶30:7@注释。

创32:25 那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。

†[吕]那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝打了一下，雅各的大腿窝在同那人摔跤的时候就扭了。

†[思]雅各伯独自一人留在后面。有一人前来与他搏斗一直到曙光破晓。

†[当代]那人见不能胜过雅各，就向他的大腿窝的筋扭了一下，雅各大腿的关节就脱了节。

†[新译]那人见自己不能胜过他，就在他的大腿窝上打了一下。于是，雅各与那人摔角的时候，大腿窝脱了节。

†[Wlb]相角之时、其人自知不胜、触雅各髀伤之、

†[Xdv]那个人看自己胜不过他，就在他的大腿窝上打了一下，大腿就脱了臼。

†[Kjv]And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

†[Nkjv]Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

†[BBE]But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.

†[GNT] When the man saw that he was not winning the struggle, he hit Jacob on the hip, and it was thrown out of joint.

†[NIV]When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.

本会注释　　这位不知名的摔跤手只是用了人的力量与雅各较力。雅各以为他的对手是凡人，就拼命搏斗。但天快亮的时候，超乎人力的一摸就使雅各瘸了。这时，他才意识对手不是凡人。

创32:26 那人说：“天黎明了，容我去吧！”雅各说：“你不给我祝福，我就不容你去。” (串)路18:1

†[吕]那人说：“天快亮了，让我走吧。”雅各说：“你不给我祝福，我就不让你走。”

†[思]那人见自己不能制胜，就在他的大腿窝上打了一下；雅各伯正在与他搏斗之际，大腿窝脱了节。

†[当代]那人说：“天亮了，让我走吧！”但雅各说：“要是你不祝福我，我就一定不让你走。”

†[新译]那人说：“天快亮了，让我走吧。”雅各说：“如果你不给我祝福，我就不让你走。”

†[Wlb]曰、容我去、天明矣、曰、不为我祝嘏、必不容尔去、

†[Xdv]那人说：“天快亮了，放我走吧！”雅各回答：“你不祝福我，我就不放你走！”

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

†[Nkjv]And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"

†[BBE]And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

†[GNT] The man said, "Let me go; daylight is coming." "I won't, unless you bless me," Jacob answered.

†[NIV]Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."

怀爱伦注释　　见怀爱伦注释-|e太11:12|
　　不倦的努力和坚定的信心──雅各在惧怕与危难中设法用自己的能力去得到胜利，他把那神圣的访问者误认为是敌人，而且他与他较力时失去了一切力量，但是当他完全投靠上帝的怜悯时，就发觉是那无穷之爱的膀臂怀抱了他，而不是仇敌的手，他面对面见了上帝，并且他的罪也得蒙赦免了。“天国是努力进入的，努力的人就得着了。”全心全意的努力才能得到，心怀二意的人必是摇恍不定，决心克己和忘我的努力是需要作准备工作的，悟性和天良是一致的，但若没有坚决的意志，我们就必失败，各样才能与感情务须相接洽，热心和恳切祷告要替代冷淡和漠不关心，唯有藉着毅然决然的努力和信靠基督的功劳才能得胜，并可得进天国。我们作工的时间是短暂的，基督必很快地第二次降临了。（《青年导报》1900.5.24）
本会注释　　容我去吧。天使想在天亮以前离去，但没有说明理由。注释家们解释说祂不想让其他人看见，或不想让雅各看见祂。
　　我就不容你去。使他瘫痪的触摸和上帝的声音使得雅各确信，他好几个小时与之摔跤的，乃是天上来的使者。雅各已花了好几个小时切求上帝的援助。此时他感到必须先获得他所渴望的赦免和保护的保证，才能让祂离去。他提出这一请求，完全把它当作上帝的恩赐，因为他没有东西可以报答的。他没有讨价还价；他的绝境就是他唯一恳求的理由。他所需要的帮助只能从上帝那里来。他有生以来第一次认识到自己智慧是不够的。从他抓着他哥哥的脚跟出生，直到最近几年他在哈兰智胜他的母舅拉班（何12:3,4），雅各总是用他自己设计的有问题的方法来解决人生的问题。他现在已经改变了。他过去依靠自己的聪明和力量，现在却学会全然信靠上帝。

创32:27 那人说：“你名叫什么？”他说：“我名叫雅各。”

†[吕]那人对他说：“你名叫什么？”他说：“雅各。”

†[思]那人说：“让我走罢！天已破晓。”雅各伯说：“你如果不祝福我，我不让你走。”

†[当代]那人问道：“你叫什么名字呢？”“我叫雅各。”

†[新译]那人问他：“你叫什么名字？”他回答：“雅各。”

†[Wlb]曰、尔何名、曰、雅各、

†[Xdv]那人问：“你叫什么名字？”他回答：“雅各。”

†[Kjv]And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

†[Nkjv]So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

†[BBE]Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

†[GNT] "What is your name?" the man asked. "Jacob," he answered.

†[NIV]The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered.

创32:28 那人说：“你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列；因为你与上帝与人较力，都得了胜。” (串)创35:10王下17:34|何12:3,4

†[吕]那人说：“你的名不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列，因为你跟神跟人较力，都得了胜（或译：你同神在一起有了能力，你就胜过了人）。”

†[思]那人问他说：“你叫什么名字？”他答说：“雅各伯。”

†[当代]那人说：“那么，你以后不要再叫雅各了，你要叫以色列；因为你跟上帝和人的角力都得胜了。”

†[新译]那人说：“你的名字不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列，因为你与　神与人较力，都得了胜。”

†[Wlb]曰、今而后、尔不复名雅各、当名以色列、盖尔与上帝及人较量、而获胜也、

†[Xdv]那人又说：“从此以后，你不再叫雅各。你跟上帝和人搏斗，你都赢了，因此你的名字要改为以色列（跟希伯来语他跟上帝搏斗或上帝搏斗发音相近）。”

†[Kjv]And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

†[Nkjv]And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."

†[BBE]And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.

†[GNT] The man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob. You have struggled with God and with men, and you have won; so your name will be Israel."

†[NIV]Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome."

本会注释　　名字的变更标志着雅各所经历属灵上的巨大转变，象征着他与上帝的新关系。亚伯兰和撒莱也改过名字（见创17:5,15）；改了以后，圣经就以新的名字称呼他们。但在雅各随后的历史当中，旧名字和新名字是交替使用的。雅各的新名字“以色列”成了从他衍生之民族的名称。对于他来说，名字的改变就象其品格的改变一样，意义远超他祖父母的改名。它象征着他从一个“骗人者”变成为一个“胜过上帝者”。这个新名字表面上是肉体上得胜的象征，实际上却是属灵上更新的一个永久纪念。
　　不要再叫雅各。雅各这个名字，意思是“抓脚跟者”或“欺骗者”，见@创25:26@注释。
　　要叫以色列。这是源于动词sarah（“战斗”或“统治”）的yisra[h]（“他战斗”或“他统治”），和`El（“上帝”）的结合。若没有上帝亲自的解释，这个名字可能理解为“上帝战斗”或“上帝统治”。但上帝解释了该名称的含义，就是“他与上帝战斗”，“他胜过上帝”或“他与上帝一起统治”。
　　以色列这个尊贵的名字从此成为了这一较力之夜的记念。当它用在雅各的后裔身上时，表明上帝希望在他们身上看到的品格改变，以及他们要与上帝同掌王权的身份。该名称先用在雅各肉体的后裔身上，后来又转到其属灵的子孙身上，就是那些要象他一样得胜的人（约1:47；罗9:6）。
　　与上帝与人较力。显然是指雅各与上帝夜间的摔跤，以及他与以扫和拉班长期的斗争。他最终从所有这些斗争中胜利地脱颖而出。特别是他在前夜的经历，使他成为了一个新人，一个胜过欺骗、不诚实和相信自我的人。他是一个改变了的人（见撒上10:6,9）。

创32:29 雅各问他说：“请将你的名告诉我。”那人说：“何必问我的名？”于是在那里给雅各祝福。 (串)士13:18

†[吕]雅各问说：“请将你的名告诉我。”那人说：“你为什么问我的名？”他就在那里给雅各祝福。

†[思]那人说：“你的名字以后不再叫雅各伯，应叫以色列，因为你与神与人搏斗，占了优势。”

†[当代]雅各问：“请你告诉我，你到底叫什么名字？”那人反问说：“你问来干什么？”然后，那人就在那里给雅各祝福。

†[新译]雅各问他，说：“请把你的名告诉我。”那人回答：“为什么问我的名呢？”他就在那里给雅各祝福。

†[Wlb]雅各曰、请以尔名告我、曰、曷问我名、遂在彼为之祝嘏、

†[Xdv]雅各问：“请告诉我，你叫什么名字？”那人回答：“何必问我的名字？”说了这话，就给雅各祝福。

†[Kjv]And 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.

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there.

†[BBE]Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.

†[GNT] Jacob said, "Now tell me your name." But he answered, "Why do you want to know my name?" Then he blessed Jacob.

†[NIV]Jacob said, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed him there.

本会注释　　雅各知道自己遇见了耶和华并与祂面对面交谈，又惊又喜，反而忽视了他本应从这一经验中学到的更重要的教训。天使离别时的祝福满足了这一需要。

创32:30 雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒（就是上帝之面的意思），意思说：“我面对面见了上帝，我的性命仍得保全。” (串)申5:24士6:22;13:22出33:20赛6:5

†[吕]雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒（其意义皆为上帝的面），因为他说：“我面对面地见了上帝，我的性命还得保全。”

†[思]雅各伯问说：“请你告诉我你的名字。”那人答说：“为什么你要问我的名字？”遂在那祝福了他。

†[当代]雅各叫那地方作毗努伊勒，因为他说：“我当面见过上帝，竟然还能够保存生命！”

†[新译]于是，雅各给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒，意思说：“我面对面看见了　神，我的性命仍得保全。”

†[Wlb]雅各名其地曰毗努伊勒、曰、我与上帝觌面、而我命尚存、

†[Xdv]雅各说：“我面对面见了上帝，仍然活着！”于是他叫那地方比努伊勒（跟希伯来语上帝的面发音相近）。

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

†[Nkjv]So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

†[BBE]And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.

†[GNT] Jacob said, "I have seen God face-to-face, and I am still alive"; so he named the place Peniel.

†[NIV]So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared."

本会注释　　雅各曾把他梦见上帝的地方起名为伯特利（创28:19），把天使的军兵在路上向他显现的地方起名为玛哈念（创32:2），他现在用一个意思为“上帝之面”的名字，来记念他与上帝亲自相遇的地方。他与上帝面对面相见却仍存活，这确实是一个奇迹（见出33:20；士6:22；13:22；赛6:5）。
　　我的性命仍得保全。直译为“我被保全，还将被保全”。这句话反映了雅各新产生的信心。不论他遭遇何事，只要是在上帝的旨意以内，他都深信上帝的圣手会保护他脱离一切灾祸。即使发生了看似与他作对的事，终将证明是出于天意的（创42:36）。毗努伊勒是雅各人生的转折点。

创32:31 日头刚出来的时候，雅各经过毗努伊勒，他的大腿就瘸了。 (串)士8:8,17王上12:25

†[吕]雅各刚过了毗努伊勒，日刚刚出、来照他；他却斜靠着大腿瘸着瘸着走了。

†[思]雅各伯给那地方起名叫“培尼耳，”意谓“我面对面见了神，我的生命仍得保全。”

†[当代]雅各经过毗努伊勒的时候，太阳刚好出来，他因为大腿伤了，所以走起路来也是一拐一拐的；

†[新译]雅各经过毗努伊勒的时候，太阳刚刚出来，照在他身上。他因为大腿的伤，跛脚行走。

†[Wlb]日出时、雅各过毗努伊勒、髀伤、其行蹒跚、

†[Xdv]雅各离开比努伊勒的时候，太阳出来了。由于大腿脱臼，他跛着脚走路。

†[Kjv]And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

†[Nkjv]Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.

†[BBE]And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

†[GNT] The sun rose as Jacob was leaving Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.

本会注释　　有些解经家认为毗努伊勒是该地的原名，雅各只变动了其中的一个元音。该名称在士8:8,9,17；王上12:25中再次出现，也列在一个埃及文的巴勒斯坦城市名单中。其准确的地理位置尚未最终确定。有些学者将其认定为约但河以东11公里，雅博河边的图露达哈（Tulul edh-Dhahab）。
　　他就瘸了。就象多年后在肉体上长有一根“刺”的保罗一样（林后12:7），雅各也带着战斗与胜利的纪念从他人生的至高经验中出来。雅各虽然可能终生瘸腿，但在他被释放的心灵中，他享受着上帝最丰富的祝福。每次战斗都会留下伤疤。象雅各一样，每一位忠实的信徒，在经过他自己的毗努伊勒时，也可能会留下一些纪念，好使他想起他与生来的倾向与恶欲所作的剧烈斗争。就连我们的主耶稣基督也带着祂在世时所经历的残酷斗争的记号，而且祂将永远带着这些记号。我们的伤痕将消失并被遗忘（林后4:17；赛65:17）。我们的伤痕是我们与自我斗争的结果，而基督手上的钉痕却是在为我们与黑暗势力争战时留下的。

本会注释　　正统的犹太人忌讳吃任何食用动物的这一部位。虽然在旧约的其他地方从未提到，但犹太教的《塔木德》明确地将这一习俗定为一种律例，违者将受鞭刑（《米示拿》第7页）。“筋”在今日理解为食用动物后肢内侧的腱子和神经。
　　第24-32节的记述中有三点与每一个犹太人特别有关。它解释了他为什么被称为以色列人，将这个名字追溯到曾与上帝摔跤而得到此名的一位远祖。它指出了事件发生的地点毗努伊勒，原来这只是一个无名村庄。最后，它解释了不吃筋之规矩的来历，其实不是出于对它的厌恶，而是表示对它的尊敬。
