| 11 | Délivre-moi, je te prie, de la main de mon frère, de la main d'Ésaü ! car je crains qu'il ne vienne, et qu'il ne me frappe, avec la mère et les enfants. | 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. | Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children. |
| 12 | Et toi, tu as dit : Je te ferai du bien, et je rendrai ta postérité comme le sable de la mer, si abondant qu'on ne saurait le compter. | 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. | 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. |
| 13 | C'est dans ce lieu-là que Jacob passa la nuit. Il prit de ce qu'il avait sous la main, pour faire un présent à Ésaü, son frère : | And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; | And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother: |

| 16 | Il les remit à ses serviteurs, troupeau par troupeau séparément, et il dit à ses serviteurs : Passez devant moi, et mettez un intervalle entre chaque troupeau. | 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. | And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. |
| 17 | Il donna cet ordre au premier : Quand Ésaü, mon frère, te rencontrera, et te demandera : A qui es-tu ? où vas-tu ? et à qui appartient ce troupeau devant toi ? | 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? | 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? |
| 18 | tu répondras : A ton serviteur Jacob ; c'est un présent envoyé à mon seigneur Ésaü ; et voici, il vient lui-même derrière nous. | 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. | then thou shalt say [They are] thy servant Jacob`s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us. |
| 19 | Il donna le même ordre au second, au troisième, et à tous ceux qui suivaient les troupeaux : C'est ainsi que vous parlerez à mon seigneur Ésaü, quand vous le rencontrerez. | 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. | And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him; |
| 20 | Vous direz : Voici, ton serviteur Jacob vient aussi derrière nous.

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. | and ye shall say, 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 me. |
| 21 | Le présent passa devant lui ; et il resta cette nuit-là dans le camp. | So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. | So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company. |
| 22 | Il se leva la même nuit, prit ses deux femmes, ses deux servantes, et ses onze enfants, et passa le gué de Jabbok. | 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. | And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok. |
| 23 | Il les prit, leur fit passer le torrent, et le fit passer à tout ce qui lui appartenait. | And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. | And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had. |
| 24 | Jacob demeura seul. Alors un homme lutta avec lui jusqu'au lever de l'aurore. | And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. | And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. |
| 25 | Voyant qu'il ne pouvait le vaincre, cet homme le frappa à l'emboîture de la hanche ; et l'emboîture de la hanche de Jacob se démit pendant qu'il luttait avec lui. | 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. | 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 strained, as he wrestled with him. |
| 26 | Il dit : Laisse-moi aller, car l'aurore se lève. Et Jacob répondit : Je ne te laisserai point aller, que tu ne m'aies béni. | And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. | And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. |
| 27 | Il lui dit : Quel est ton nom ? Et il répondit : Jacob. | And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. | And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. |
| 28 | Il dit encore : ton nom ne sera plus Jacob, mais tu seras appelé Israël ; car tu as lutté avec Dieu et avec des hommes, et tu as été vainqueur. | 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. | And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed. |
| 29 | Jacob l'interrogea, en disant : Fais-moi je te prie, connaître ton nom. Il répondit : Pourquoi demandes-tu mon nom ? Et il le bénit là. | 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. | 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. |
| 30 | Jacob appela ce lieu du nom de Peniel : car, dit-il, j'ai vu Dieu face à face, et mon âme a été sauvée. | And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. | And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. |
| 31 | Le soleil se levait, lorsqu'il passa Peniel. Jacob boitait de la hanche. | And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. | And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh. |
| 32 | C'est pourquoi jusqu'à ce jour, les enfants d'Israël ne mangent point le tendon qui est à l'emboîture de la hanche ; car Dieu frappa Jacob à l'emboîture de la hanche, au tendon. | Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank. | Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob`s thigh in the sinew of the hip. |
