[1]And JacobH3290 wentH1980 H8804on his wayH1870, and the angelsH4397 of GodH430 metH6293 himH8799. |
| [2]And whanne he hadde seyn hem, he seide, These ben the castels of God; and he clepide the name of that place Manaym, that is, castels. |

| [3]Sotheli Jacob sente bifore him also messangeris to Esau, his brother, in to the lond of Seir, in the cuntrey of Edom; |
[3]And JacobH3290 sentH7971 H8799messengersH4397 before himH6440 to EsauH6215 his brotherH251 unto the landH776 of SeirH8165, the countryH7704 of EdomH123. |
| [4]and comaundide to hem, and seide, Thus speke ye to my lord Esau, Thi brothir Jacob seith these thingis, Y was a pilgrym at Laban, `and Y was `til in to present dai; |
[4]And he commandedH6680 H8762them, sayingH559 , H8800Thus shall ye speakH559 H8799unto my lordH113 EsauH6215; Thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 saithH559 H8804thus, I have sojournedH1481 H8804with LabanH3837, and stayed thereH309 until nowH8799: |

[5]And I have oxenH7794, and assesH2543, flocksH6629, and menservantsH5650, and womenservantsH8198: and I have sentH7971 H8799to tellH5046 H8687my lordH113, that I may findH4672 H8800graceH2580 in thy sightH5869. |
| [6]And the messageris turneden ayen to Jacob, and seiden, We camen to Esau, thi brother, and lo! he hastith in to thi comyng, with foure hundrid men. |
[6]And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 H8799to JacobH3290, sayingH559 , H8800We cameH935 H8804to thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, and also he comethH1980 H8802to meet theeH7125 , H8800and four hundredH3967 men with himH376. |
| [7]Jacob dredde greetli, and he was aferd, and departide the puple that was with hym, and he departide the flockis, and scheep, and oxun, and camels, in to twei cumpenyes; |
[7]Then JacobH3290 was greatlyH3966 afraidH3372 H8799and distressedH3334 : H8799and he dividedH2673 H8799the peopleH5971 that was with him, and the flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and the camelsH1581, into twoH8147 bandsH4264; |

[8]And saidH559 , H8799If EsauH6215 comeH935 H8799to the oneH259 companyH4264, and smite itH5221 , H8689then the other companyH4264 which is leftH7604 H8737shall escapeH6413. |
| [9]And Jacob seide, A! God of my fadir Abraham, and God of my fadir Isaac, A! Lord, that seidist to me, Turne thou ayen in to thi lond, and in to the place of thi birthe, and Y schal do wel to thee, |
[9]And JacobH3290 saidH559 , H8799O GodH430 of my fatherH1 AbrahamH85, and GodH430 of my fatherH1 IsaacH3327, the LORDH3068 which saidstH559 H8802unto me, ReturnH7725 H8798unto thy countryH776, and to thy kindredH4138, and I will deal wellH3190 with theeH8686: |
| [10]Y am lesse than alle thi merciful doyngis, and than thi treuthe which thou hast fillid to thi seruaunt; with my staf Y passide this Jordan, and now Y go ayen with twei cumpanyes; |
[10]I am not worthy of the leastH6994 H8804of all the merciesH2617, and of all the truthH571, which thou hast shewedH6213 H8804unto thy servantH5650; for with my staffH4731 I passed overH5674 H8804this JordanH3383; and now I am become twoH8147 bandsH4264. |
| [11]delyuere thou me fro the hond of my brothir Esau, for Y drede him greetli, lest he come and sle the modris with the sones. |
[11]Deliver meH5337 , H8685I pray thee, from the handH3027 of my brotherH251, from the handH3027 of EsauH6215: for I fearH3373 him, lest he will comeH935 H8799and smite meH5221 , H8689and the motherH517 withH5921 the childrenH1121. |
| [12]Thou spakist that thou schuldist do wel to me, and shuldist alarge my seed as the grauel of the see, that mai not be noumbrid for mychilnesse. |
[12]And thou saidstH559 , H8804I will surelyH3190 H8687do thee goodH3190 , H8686and makeH7760 H8804thy seedH2233 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be numberedH5608 H8735for multitudeH7230. |
| [13]And whanne Jacob hadde slept there in that nyyt, he departide of tho thingis whiche he hadde yiftis to Esau, his brothir, |
[13]And he lodgedH3885 H8799there that same nightH3915; and tookH3947 H8799of that which cameH935 H8802to his handH3027 a presentH4503 for EsauH6215 his brotherH251; |

| [16]And he sente bi the hondis of his seruauntis alle flockis bi hem silf; and he seide to hise children, Go ye bifore me, and a space be betwixe flok and flok. |
[16]And he deliveredH5414 H8799them into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650, every droveH5739 by themselves; and saidH559 H8799unto his servantsH5650, Pass overH5674 H8798before meH6440, and putH7760 H8799a spaceH7305 betwixtH996 droveH5739 andH996 droveH5739. |
| [17]And he comaundide to the formere, and seide, If thou schalt mete my brothir Esau, and he schal axe thee, whos man thou art, ether whidir thou goist, ether whos ben these thingis whiche thou suest, |
[17]And he commandedH6680 H8762the foremostH7223, sayingH559 , H8800When EsauH6215 my brotherH251 meeteth theeH6298 , H8799and asketh theeH7592 , H8804sayingH559 , H8800Whose art thou? and whither goestH3212 H8799thou? and whose are these before theeH6440? |
| [18]thou schalt answere, Of thi seruaunt Jacob, he hath sent yiftis to his lord Esau, and he cometh aftir vs. |
[18]Then thou shalt sayH559 , H8804They be thy servantH5650 Jacob'sH3290; it is a presentH4503 sentH7971 H8803unto my lordH113 EsauH6215: and, behold, also he is behind usH310. |
| [19]In lijk maner, he yaf comaundementis to the secounde, and to the thridde, and to alle that sueden flockis; and seide, Speke ye bi the same wordis to Esau, |
[19]And soH1571 commanded heH6680 H8762the secondH8145, and the thirdH7992, and all that followedH1980[H8802] H310the drovesH5739, sayingH559 , H8800On this mannerH1697 shall ye speakH1696 H8762unto EsauH6215, when ye findH4672 himH8800. |
| [20]whanne ye fynden hym, and ye schulen adde, Also Jacob hym silf thi seruaunt sueth oure weie. For Jacob seide, Y schal plese Esau with yiftis that goon bifore, and aftirward Y schal se hym; in hap he schal be mercyful to me. |
[20]And say yeH559 H8804moreoverH1571, Behold, thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 is behind usH310. For he saidH559 , H8804I will appeaseH3722 H8762himH6440 with the presentH4503 that goethH1980 H8802before meH6440, and afterwardH310 I will seeH7200 H8799his faceH6440; peradventure he will acceptH5375 H8799of meH6440. |
| [21]And so the yiftis yeden bifore hym; sotheli he dwellide in that nyyt in the tentis. |
[21]So wentH5674 the presentH4503 overH5674 H8799before himH6440: and himself lodgedH3885 H8804that nightH3915 in the companyH4264. |
| [22]And whanne Jacob hadde arise auysseli, he took hise twei wyues, and so many seruauntessis with enleuen sones, and passide the forthe of Jaboth. |
[22]And he rose upH6965 H8799that nightH3915, and tookH3947 H8799his twoH8147 wivesH802, and his twoH8147 womenservantsH8198, and his elevenH6240 H259sonsH3206, and passed overH5674 H8799the fordH4569 JabbokH2999. |
| [23]And whanne alle thingis that perteyneden to hym weren led ouer, he dwellide aloone, and, lo! |
[23]And he took themH3947 , H8799and sent them overH5674 H8686the brookH5158, and sent overH5674 that he hadH8686. |
| [24]a man wrastlide with him til to the morwetid. |
[24]And JacobH3290 was leftH3498 H8735alone; and there wrestledH79 H8735a manH376 with him until the breakingH5927 H8800of the dayH7837. |
| [25]And whanne the man seiy that he miyte not ouercome Jacob, he touchide the senewe of Jacobis hipe, and it driede anoon. |
[25]And when he sawH7200 H8799that he prevailedH3201 H8804not against him, he touchedH5060 H8799the hollow of his thighH3409; and the hollowH3709 of Jacob'sH3290 thighH3409 was out of jointH3363 , H8799as he wrestledH79 with himH8736. |
| [26]And he seide to Jacob, Leeue thou me, for the morewtid stieth now. Jacob answeride, Y schal not leeue thee, no but thou blesse me. |
[26]And he saidH559 , H8799Let me goH7971 , H8761for the dayH7837 breakethH5927 . H8804And he saidH559 , H8799I will not let thee goH7971 , H8762exceptH518 thou blessH1288 meH8765. |
| [27]Therfore he seide, What name is to thee? He answeride, Jacob. |
[27]And he saidH559 H8799unto him, What is thy nameH8034? And he saidH559 , H8799JacobH3290. |
| [28]And the man seide, Thi name schal no more be clepid Jacob, but Israel; for if thou were strong ayens God, hou miche more schalt thou haue power ayens men. |
[28]And he saidH559 , H8799Thy nameH8034 shall be calledH559 H8735no more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478: for as a prince hast thou powerH8280 H8804with GodH430 and with menH582, and hast prevailedH3201.[H8799] |
| [29]Jacob axide him, Seie thou to me bi what name thou art clepid? He answerde, Whi axist thou my name, whiche is wondirful? And he blesside Jacob in the same place. |
[29]And JacobH3290 askedH7592 H8799him, and saidH559 , H8799TellH5046 H8685me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559 , H8799Wherefore is itH2088 that thou dost askH7592 H8799after my nameH8034? And he blessedH1288 him thereH8762. |
| [30]And Jacob clepide the name of that place Fanuel, and seide, Y siy the Lord face to face, and my lijf is maad saaf. |
[30]And JacobH3290 calledH7121 H8799the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 PenielH6439: for I have seenH7200 H8804GodH430 faceH6440 to faceH6440, and my lifeH5315 is preservedH5337.[H8735] |
| [31]And anoon the sunne roos to hym, aftir that he passide Fanuel; forsothe he haltide in the foot. |
[31]And as he passed overH5674 H8804PenuelH6439 the sunH8121 roseH2224 H8799upon him, and he haltedH6760 H8802upon his thighH3409. |
| [32]For which cause the sones of Israel eten not `til in to present day the senewe, that driede in the hipe of Jacob; for the man touchide the senewe of Jacobs hipe, and it driede. |
[32]Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 H8799not of the sinewH1517 which shrankH5384, which is upon the hollowH3709 of the thighH3409, unto this dayH3117: because he touchedH5060 H8804the hollowH3709 of Jacob'sH3290 thighH3409 in the sinewH1517 that shrankH5384. |
