1 Tedae Jakob loh amah longpuei aha caeh hatah anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek a doe uh.
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of Elohim met him.
2 Tedae Jakob loh amih te a hmuh vaengah, “Hekah he Pathen kah rhaehhmuen ni,” a ti tih tekah hmuen ming te Mahanaima sui.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Elohim's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Edom kho, Seir khohmuen la a maya Esau taengah a hmai la puencawn rhoek te a tueih.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 Te vaengah amih tea uen tih, “Ka boei Esau taengah he he thui pah. Na sal Jakob tah Laban taengah ka bakuep tih tahae duela ka uelh.
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my master Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 Te phoeiah kai taengah vaito neh laak boiva khaw, sal neh salnu khaw om. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen dang hamla ka boeipa taengah aka puen la kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my master, that I may find favour in thy sight.
6 Tedae puencawnrhoek te Jakob taengla maeluh tih, “Na maya Esau taengla ka cet uh coeng, te nangte doe ham a taengkah hlang ya li neh halo coeng,” a ti na uh.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Te vaengah Jakob loh bahoenga rhih tih amah te a te daengdaeh uh. Te dongah a taengkah pilnam te khaw, boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, kalaukrhoekkhaw rhoi nit laa tael.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 Te khaw Esau loh rhoi at tea paan tiha ngawn atah rhoi at aka om te khaw rhalyong la om saeh a ti dongah ni.
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 Te phoeiah Jakob loh, “Kai taengah namah khohmuen neh na pacaboeina taengla bal lamtah nang te kan hoeikhang sak ni,” aka ti a pa Abraham kah Pathen neh a pa Isaak kah BOEIPA Pathen,
And Jacob said, O Elohim of my father Abraham, and Elohim of my father Isaac, YHWH which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 Sitlohnah cungkuem neh uepomnah cungkuem te na salpa taengah nan saii ham tah rhaidaeng. Ka cunghol neh Jordan he ka kat ngawn dae rhoi nit la ka lo coeng.
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Ka maya kut lamloh, Esau kut lamkah kai n'huul mai dae. Anih te ka rhih, halo vetih camoerhoek neha manu rhoek khaw, kamah khaw n'ngawn ve.
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 Tedae namah loh, 'Hoeikhang ham khaw nang te kan hoeikhang sak vetih nang kah tiingan te tuitunli kah laivin bangla ka khueh vetih tae thai mahpawh,’ na ti,” tila thangthui.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Te dongah teahte khoyin puet rhaeh. A kut aha khuen te khaw a maya Esau ham khosaa la,
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Maae a la yahnih neh maaetal pumkul, tumanu yahnih neh tutal pumkul.
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Kalauk cacunte a carhoek hmaihneh thumkip, vaito a la likip neh vaitotal pumrha, laak a la pumkul neh laaktal pumrha,” a paek.
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 Te phoeiah tuping, tupingte amah loh a salrhoek kut aha tloeng tih a salrhoek te,” Kai hmai ah cet lamtah tuping laklo neh tuping laklote hnalak khueh uh,” a ti nah.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 Te phoeiah lamhma taengah, “Ka maya Esaute na hum uh tih, 'Nang ulae? Melamna caeh eh? Na hmaikahrhoek he u kah lae a ti tih n'dawt vaengah,
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18 'Na sal Jakob kah ni. Hekah he ka boeipa Esau taengah khosaa la ham pat tih amah khaw kaimih hnukkah halo ke,’ ti nah,” a ti tih a uen.
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my master Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 Te phoeiaha pabae te khaw, a pathum te khaw, tuping hnukah aka cet boeih te khaw, “Nangmih khaw Esau neh na hum uh vaengah hekah olka he thikat la thui uh lamtah,
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 nang kah sal Jakob khaw kaimih hnukah om ke,’ na ti uh ni,” a ti tih a uen. Ba dongah tikoinih ka mikhmuh kah aka pongpa khosaa neh a hmai ka saak pah vetih, te phoeiah tah a maelhmai ka hmuh vaengah kai maelhmai khaw a hlam khaminga ti.
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 Te dongah khosaate a hmai laa caeh sak. Tedae amah tah rhaehhmuen ah hlaem at rhaeh pueng.
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 Tedae tekah khoyin ah thoo tih a yuu rhoi neh a salnu rhoi khaw, a carhoek hlai at te khaw a loh tih Jabbok lamkai ah a kat puei.
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 Amihte khawa khuen tiha thak phoeiah amah taengah aka om rhoek te khaw soklonglaa tueih.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 Te vaengah Jakob te amah bueng la a cul coeng dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh khothaih tom duea hnueih.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 Tedae anih te ka na pawh tilaa hmuh vaengah Jakob kah a hlit tea koi pah tih anih te a hnueih pangthuem Jakob kah a hlit te voeng nong.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 Te vaengah, “Khothaih loh n'kae coeng tih kai n'hlah laeh,” a tinah hatah Jakob loh, “Kai he yoethen nan paek hlan atah nang khaw kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 Te dongah amah la, “Nang mingte balae,” a tinah hatah, “Jakob,” a tinah dae,
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 “Na mingte Jakob ti voel boel lamtah Pathen neh hlangrhoek tena hnueih tihna na coeng dongah Israel ti laeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 Te phoeiah Jakobloh a dawt tih, “Na ming te thui lah,” a tinah hatah, “Ka ming he ba ham lae nan dawt,” a tinah tih anih te yoethen pahoi a paek.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 Te dongah Jakob loh, “Pathen maelhmai tea hmai lamloh hmuh coeng dae ka hinglu huul uh,” a ti dongah tekah hmuen mingte Peniela sui.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 Tedae Penuel tea poeng vanneh a soah khomik thoeng. Anih khaw a hlit dongah cungdo phai.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a hlit dongkah tharhui thanal te tihnin due ca uh pawh. Jakob kah tharhui thanal ah aka om a hlit tea koi pah coeng.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
