Genesis 32
1 Jakob loe caehhaih loklam ah caeh poe, to naah Sithaw ih van kaminawk mah anih to tongh o.
Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
2 Jakob mah nihcae to hnuk naah, Hae loe Sithaw ih misatuh kaminawk ni, tiah thuih; to pongah to ahmuen to Mahanaim, tiah ahmin sak.
And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
3 Jakob mah Edom prae, Seir hmuen ah, amya Esau khaeah laicaehnawk to hmaloe ah patoeh.
Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
4 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ka angraeng Esau khaeah, Na tamna Jakob mah, Kai loe Laban khaeah ka caeh moe, vaihi doeh to ah ka oh vop;
To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
5 maitawnawk, laa hrangnawk, tuunawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk doeh ka tawnh; na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh hanah, vaihi ka angraeng khaeah lokthuih hanah ang patoeh, tiah a naa o.
I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 Laicaehnawk loe Jakob khaeah amlaem o let, anih khaeah, Nam ya Esau khaeah ka caeh o, vaihi nang hnuk hanah kami cumvai palito angzoh haih, tiah a thuih pae o.
So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
7 Jakob loe paroeai zit moe, tasoeh pongah, angmah khae kaom kaminawk, tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk to, abu hnetto ah tapraek.
Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
8 Esau mah abu maeto tuh nahaeloe, kalah abu maeto loih nasoe, tiah a poek pongah to tiah a sak.
For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
9 To naah Jakob mah, Aw, kam pa Abraham ih Sithaw, kam pa Issak ih Sithaw, Na prae hoi nangmah acaeng kaminawk khaeah amlaem ah, nang hae kang lensak han, tiah kai khaeah lokthuikung, Angraeng,
Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
10 na tamna khaeah nam tuengsak ih na tahmenhaih hoi oepthohhaih tetta mataeng doeh hnuk han kam cuk ai; hae Jordan vapui kang kaat naah, cunghet khue ni ka tawnh; toe vaihi loe abu hnetto ah ka oh boeh.
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
11 Kam ya ih ban, kam ya Esau ih ban thung hoi nang pahlong hanah, lawk kang thuih; anih loe kaimah hoi ka zu, ka caanawk hum hanah angzo tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh.
I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
12 Toe nangmah ni kai khaeah, Nang hae kang lensak moe, kroek laek ai ah kaom, tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto, na caanawk kang pungsak han, tiah nang thuih, tiah lawk a thuih.
For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
13 Anih loe aqum puek to ahmuen ah iih; a tawnh ih hmuennawk thung hoiah amya Esau to tangqum paek hanah,
And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
14 maeh amno cumvai hnetto, maeh tae pumphaeto, tuu tala cumvai hnetto, tuu tae pumphaeto,
Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
15 kaengkuu hrang amno qui thumto hoi a caanawk, maitaw tala qui palito hoi maitaw tae hato, laa hrang tala pumphaeto hoi a caa hato a qoih.
Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
16 To moinawk to a tamnanawk ban ah paek moe, abu tapraek pacoengah, Ka hmaa ah caeh oh, abu maeto hoi maeto salak kangthla ah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
17 Nihcae thungah hmaloe koeh caeh kami khaeah, Kam ya Esau mah nang to hnuk naah, nang loe mi aa? Naa ah maw na caeh han? Na hmaa ih moinawk loe mi ih aa? tiah na dueng nahaeloe,
And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
18 to moinawk loe na tamna Jakob ih ni; ka angraeng Esau paek han ih tangqum ni, khenah, anih loe hnukah angzoh, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa.
Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
19 To tiah anih hnukah angzo abu hnetto hoi abu thumto kaminawk khaeah doeh, Esau na hnuk o nahaeloe, to tiah thui oh, tiah lok a paek.
So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
20 To pacoengah na tamna loe kaicae hnukah angzoh, tiah thui oh, tiah a naa. Hmaloe koek caeh kami mah paek ih tangqumnawk hoiah mikhmai ka sak han; to tiah nahaeloe anih hoi kang qum naah na talawk pae khoe doeh om tih, tiah a poek.
And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
21 To pongah Jakob ih tangqumnawk to hmaloe ah caeh o haih; toe to na aqum ah, anih loe kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah ni a oh.
So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
22 To na aqum ah Jakob loe angthawk moe, a zu hnik, a tamna nongpata hnik hoi a caa hatlaito caeh haih moe, Jabbok vapui ih tui amdaehaih ahmuen ah angkaat haih.
And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
23 Nihcae vapui zaeh ah thak pacoengah, a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh a thaksak boih.
And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
24 To pongah Jakob loe angmabueng oh sut; to naah anih loe kami maeto hoiah khodai ai karoek to angpanh.
Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
25 To kami mah anih to pazawk mak ai, tiah panoek naah, Jakob ih phaih to boh pae tuek; to tiah angpan hoi li naah Jakob ih phaih huh amkhraeng pae ving.
And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
26 To kami mah, Na prawt lai ah, khodai tom boeh, tiah a naa. Toe Jakob mah, Tahamhoihaih nang paek ai nahaeloe, kang prawt mak ai, tiah a naa.
And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
27 To kami mah, Na hmin loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Jakob, tiah a naa.
Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
28 To naah to kami mah, Nang loe Sithaw hoi anih ih kaminawk hoiah nang panh moe, na pazawk boeh pongah, na hmin to Jakob, tiah kawk mak ai boeh; Israel, tiah ni kawk tih boeh, tiah a naa.
Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
29 Jakob mah, Na hmin loe mi aa? Tahmenhaih hoiah na thui ah, tiah a naa. Toe anih mah, Tih hanah ka hmin nang dueng loe? tiah a naa. To pacoengah anih mah to ahmuen ah Jakob hanah tahamhoihaih paek.
Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
30 Jakob mah mikhmai kangtong ah Sithaw to ka hnuk boeh, toe anih mah ka hinghaih ang pathlung, tiah a poek pongah, to ahmuen to Jakob mah Peniel, tiah ahmin sak.
And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
31 Penuel to poeng pacoeng loe khodai boeh; to naah Jakob loe khok kangbai baktiah lam caeh.
And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
32 Anih mah Jakob ih phaih thaqui to atumh pae tuek pongah, vaihni ni khoek to Israel caanawk mah phaih thaqui taeng ih angan to caa o ai.
Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
