Er sprach: Wie heißt du? Er antwortete: Jakob.
Y él dijo: No se dirá más tu nombre Jacob, sino Israel: porque has peleado con Dios y con los hombres, y has vencido.
Él dijo: «Tu nombre ya no será Jacob, sino Israel, porque has luchado con Dios y con los hombres, y has vencido».
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.
Ed egli disse: Giacobbe. E quell’uomo gli disse: Tu non sarai più chiamato Giacobbe, anzi Israele; conciossiachè tu sii stato prode e valente con Dio e con gli uomini, ed abbi vinto.
Então disse: Não te chamarás mais Jacó, mas Israel; pois como príncipe lutaste com Deus e com os homens, e prevaleceste.
那人說:「你的名字不要再叫 雅各 ,要叫 以色列 ,因為你與上帝和人較力,都得勝了。」
