Mui 32
1 Ya: igobe da logoga ahoanoba, a:igele dunu ilia da ema doaga: i.
Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
2 Amo ba: beba: le e amane sia: i, “Amo sogebi da Gode Ea Aligibi Sogebi.” Amaiba: le, e da amo sogebi dio asuli amo Ma: ihana: ime.
And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
3 Ya: igobe da sia: adole iasu dunu, ili da e bisimusa: , Iso amo gousa: musa: asunasi. Iso da Idome sogega esalu.
And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to the country of Edom:
4 Ya: igobe da sia: adole iasu dunu ilima amane olelei, “Isoma amane sia: ma, ‘Na, Ya: igobe, dia nabasu hawa: hamosu dunu da na hina Isoma sia: iaha. Na da La: iba: nema ouesalu, hedolo hame buhagi be wali buhagisa.
And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day.
5 Na da bulamagau, dougi, sibi, goudi, amola udigili hawa: hamosu dunu gagui gala. Na da di hahawane ba: ma: ne dima sia: adole iaha.’”
I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.
6 Sia: adole iasu dunu da Ya: igobema bu misini, amane sia: i, “Ninia da dia ola Iso ema doaga: i. E da wali dima doaga: musa: , logoga ahoanebe. E da dunu 400 agoane oule maha.”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
7 Ya: igobe da beda: i bagade amola da: i dioi. Ema misi dunu, sibi, goudi, bulamagau, amola ga: mele, e da afafane gilisisu aduna hamoi.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
8 E amane dawa: i, “Iso da na bisili gilisisu amoga doagala: ma: ne masea, - amabela: ? - na eno gilisisu da se mae nabawane hobeama: bela: ?”
Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape.
9 Amalalu Ya: igobe da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Na aowa A: ibalaha: me amola na ada Aisage, amo elea Gode! Na sia: nabima! Hina Gode, Di da nama na soge amola na fi dunu amoga buhagima: ne sia: noba, Di da na noga: le fidima: ne sia: i.
And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee,
10 Na hou da wadela: i, be Di da nama asigi hou noga: idafa olelei. Na da dagulu fawane gaguli, Yodane hano degei, be wali na da buhagili, amo gilisisu aduna gaguiwane bu maha.
I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies.
11 Gode! Dia na gaga: ma! Na da na ola Isoba: le bagade beda: i galebe. E da ninima doagala: sa: besa: le amola nini huluane amola uda amola mano wadela: sa: besa: le na da bagade beda: i.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children.
12 Di da musa: na logo hahamoma: ne sia: i. Amola nama mano idimu hamedei amo sa: i hano wayabo bagade bega: amo idi defele amo imunu sia: i. Amo mae gogolema.”
Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Amo gasi afae amo sogebi esalu, Ya: igobe da ea lai gebo fi mogili, hahawane udigili iasu Isoma imunusa: dawa: i. E da goudi aseme 200, goudi gawali 20, sibi aseme 200, sibi gawali 20, ga: mele aseme dodo maga: me gala 30, amola ilia mano, bulamagau aseme 40, bulamagau gawali 10, dougi aseme 20 amola gawali 10, amo huluane Isoma imunusa: afafai.
And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
16 E da gilisisu afae afae hamone, amo afae afaega hawa: hamosu dunu afae ouligima: ne sia: i. E da amane sia: i, “Nama bisili masa. Gilisisu afae asili, dibi yolesima. Amalalu, gilisisu eno amola eno agoaiwane masa.
And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove.
17 E da bisili ahoasu hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Na ola Iso da dima doaga: sea, e da dima, ‘Dia hina da nowala: ? Di da habi ahoa? Lai gebo fi di da amoga fa: no bobogesa. Amo da nowa eala: ?’ amane adole ba: sea,
And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee?
18 di agoane adole ima, ‘Amo huluane da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Ya: igobe amo ea: Amo huluane e da ea hina Isoma iaha. Ya: igobe hisu da fa: no maha.’”
Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob’s: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after us.
19 Ya: igobe da amo sia: defele gilisisu ouligisu dunu ageyadu amola gilisisu ouligisu dunu osoda amola gilisisu ouligisu huluane ilima amo defele olelei. E amane sia: i, “Dilia Isoma amane sia: ma,
In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him.
20 ‘Defea! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Ya: igobe da ninima gadenene fa: no maha.’” Ya: igobe da agoane dawa: lalu, “Amabela: ? Na da hahawane udigili iasu ema iasea, e da olofosu ba: ma: bela: ? Amasea, e da na gogolema: ne olofoma: bela: ?”
And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.
21 E da amo hahawane udigili iasu bisili asunasi. Amalalu e da amo sogebi abula diasuga esalu.
So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 Amo gasia, Ya: igobe da wa: legadole, ea uda aduna, ea gidisedagi uda aduna, ea dunu mano gidayale gala, amo huluane Ya: boge Hano degemusa: oule asi.
And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
23 E da amo huluane asunasili, ea liligi huluane asunasi.
And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
24 Be hisu da hame asi. Amalalu, dunu afae da ema misini ema ouga: ne ludui. Ludulalu, gasia huluane mae yolesili, ludui.
He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
25 Ya: igobe da gasa bagadewane ludubiba: le, amo dunu da ema osa: le heda: mu hamedeiwane ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Ya: igobe ea masele digili ba: beba: le, Ya: igobe ea masele momoge dagai dagoi ba: i.
And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
26 Amalalu, amo dunu da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Nama yolesima! Eso da heda: i dagoi.” Be Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Di da nama hahawane dogolegele fidimusa: sia: beba: le fawane, na da yolesimu.”
And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
27 Dunu da Ya: igobema amane adole ba: i, “Dia dio da nowala: ?” E bu adole i, “Ya: igobe!”
And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.
28 Amalalu amo dunu da amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia dio da wali Ya: igobe hame. Dia dio da wali Isala: ili. Bai di da Godema amola osobo bagade dunuma ouga: ne ludulalu, hasali dagoi.”
But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
29 Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Dia dio nama adoma!” Be E bu adole i, “Dia da abuliba: le Na dio adole ba: sala: ?” Amalalu, e da amogai Ya: igobema hahawane dogolegele lama: ne sia: i.
Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.
30 Amaiba: le, Ya: igobe da amo sogebiga Biniele dio asuli. E amane sia: i, “Bai na da Gode Ea odagi ba: i dagoi, be na hame bogoi.”
And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
31 E da Biniele baligili, eso da heda: i dagoi ba: i. Ea masele momoge dagaiba: le, e da gasuga: igili ahoanu.
And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
32 Amaiba: le, musa: amola wali Isala: ili dunu da masele momoge huluane hame naha. Bai Biniele sogega musa: Gode da Ya: igobe (Isala: ili) amo ea masele momoge dagai. (Isala: ili dawa: loma: ne da ‘E da Godema ludusa.”)
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob’s thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
