Genesis 32
1 Jakob loe caehhaih loklam ah caeh poe, to naah Sithaw ih van kaminawk mah anih to tongh o.
And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon 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 Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, 'This [is] the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place 'Two Camps.'
3 Jakob mah Edom prae, Seir hmuen ah, amya Esau khaeah laicaehnawk to hmaloe ah patoeh.
And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field 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;
and commandeth them, saying, 'Thus do ye say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and I tarry until now;
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.
and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'
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.
And the messengers turn back unto Jacob, saying, 'We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred 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.
and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 Esau mah abu maeto tuh nahaeloe, kalah abu maeto loih nasoe, tiah a poek pongah to tiah a sak.
and saith, 'If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have smitten it — then the camp which is left hath been for an 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,
And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:
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 have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant — for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
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.
'Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me — mother beside sons;
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.
and Thou — Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'
13 Anih loe aqum puek to ahmuen ah iih; a tawnh ih hmuennawk thung hoiah amya Esau to tangqum paek hanah,
And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother:
14 maeh amno cumvai hnetto, maeh tae pumphaeto, tuu tala cumvai hnetto, tuu tae pumphaeto,
she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
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.
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
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.
and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.'
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 commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [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 hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind us.'
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.
And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding 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 have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'
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.
and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
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 riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of Jabbok;
23 Nihcae vapui zaeh ah thak pacoengah, a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh a thaksak boih.
and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
24 To pongah Jakob loe angmabueng oh sut; to naah anih loe kami maeto hoiah khodai ai karoek to angpanh.
And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
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 seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh is disjointed in his wrestling 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 saith, 'Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, 'I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'
27 To kami mah, Na hmin loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Jakob, tiah a naa.
And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
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.
And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
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.
And Jacob asketh, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, 'Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth 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 Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
31 Penuel to poeng pacoeng loe khodai boeh; to naah Jakob loe khok kangbai baktiah lam caeh.
and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on 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 sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
