Kamtawngnae 32
1 Jakop teh a cei teh, Cathut e kalvantaminaw ni a dawn.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Jakop ni hmu toteh hete Cathut roenae hmuen doeh telah a titeh, hote hmuen teh Mahanaim telah min a phung.
When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Jakop ni Edom ram e Seir ram dawk a hmau Esaw koevah a hmalah patounenaw a patoun.
Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 Ahnimouh koe lawk a thui. Ka bawipa Esaw koe hettelah na dei awh han. Na san Jakop ni hettelah ati, Laban koe imyin lah ka o teh atu totouh ka o.
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 Maitotan hoi, la hoi tunaw hoi, hmaenaw hoi sanpa sannunaw hah ka tawn. Hatdawkvah, na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahanlah ka bawipa koe dei pouh hanelah, taminaw ka patoun ati, telah atipouh.
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 Patounenaw hah Jakop koe a ban awh teh, na hmau Esaw koe ka pha awh. Tami 400 touh hoi nang na dawn hanelah ahni hai a kamthaw, telah a dei pouh awh.
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Hatdawkvah, Jakop ni a takipoung teh kângairu hoi ao. Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kalauknaw hah hu kahni touh lah koung a kapek.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 Jakop ni Esaw a kâhmo toteh, ahu buet touh e thet pawiteh a hu alouknaw teh ka yawngkhai thai han doeh, telah ati.
He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 Hottelah Jakop ni, oe apa Abraham Cathut, apa Isak Cathut, oe BAWIPA na ram hoi na imthungnaw koe ban nateh, kaimouh ka thet hane katetnaw,
Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
10 na san e lathueng vah lungmanae hoi yuemkamcunae pueng na kamcu sak e thung dawk hoi, kathoengpounge patenghai hmu hanelah ka kamcu hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jordan palang hah ka sonron hoi dueng ka raka teh atuteh a hu kahni touh ka pha toe.
I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11 Pahren lahoi ka hmau Esaw e kut thung roeroe hoi na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui camonaw hoi kaimouh rekrek na saueng han doeh tie hah puenghoi ka tâsue.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama ni, na pungdaw sak vaiteh, na ca catounnaw hah touk thai hoeh e talî dawk e sadi yit touh na pap sak han na tie hah, telah ati.
You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 Hate karum teh hawvah a roe awh. Hahoi a tawn e thung dawk hoi hmae manu 200, hmaetan 20,
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 Kalauk sanu kasu lahun e 30, a canaw khuehoi maito manu 40, maitotan 10,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 La manu 20, la a kum kanaw e 10, hetnaw hah a hmau Esaw koe poehno lah poe hanelah a pasoum.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 Hotnaw teh a huhu lahoi aloukcalah a sannaw kut dawk a poe. Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka hmalah cet awh nateh, a louklouk lah rahak kaawm lahoi cet awh, ati.
He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
17 Hahoi lam kahrawikung koevah, ka hmau Esaw hoi na kâhmo toteh, apie taminaw maw, na maw na cei awh han, nangmae na hmalah kaawmnaw hah apinaw maw, telah na pacei awh pawiteh,
He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
18 Na san Jakop e naw seng doeh. Ka bawipa poe hanelah poehno na patawn e naw doeh. Khenhaw! ama hai kaimae hnuklah ao, na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui.
Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 Apâhni e hoi apâthum e hoi saring kakhoumnaw pueng koe hai, Esaw na kâhmo torei teh, hot patetlah na dei awh han.
He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 Hahoi khenhaw! na san Jakop teh kaimae hnukkhu lah ao na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hmalah ka cet e poehno ni a lungthin ahawi sak han. Hathnukkhu hoi a mei ka hmu han, telah pawiteh, a lungroum yawkaw han telah ati.
You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21 Hatdawkvah, poehno hah a hmalah a ceisak. Hatei, ama teh hote karum teh tamihunaw koe a roe.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Karum vah a thaw teh a yu roi hoi a canaw hlaibun touh hah a ceikhai teh Jabbok palang hah a raka awh.
He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Ahnimouh hah a ceikhai teh palang hah a raka awh. A tawn e naw pueng hai a ceikhai.
He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Jakop amadueng ao nah tami buet touh hoi khodai totouh a kâthe roi.
Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 Ahni ni ka tâ mahoeh tie a panue toteh, Jakop e a sumbunghru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh. Hatdawkvah Jakop teh a khokkhem.
When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 Ahni ni, na cetsak leih, bangkongtetpawiteh kho hai a dai toe telah ati. Hateiteh, ahni ni yawhawi na poe hoehpawiteh, na cetsak mahoeh telah ati.
The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Ahni ni na min a pimaw telah a pacei navah, Jakop telah atipouh.
He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
28 Ahni ni na min Jakop teh Jakop tet mahoeh toe, Isarel ati awh han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut hoi tami hai na the teh na tâ toe, telah ati.
He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Jakop ni pahren lahoi na min apimaw telah a pacei. Ahni ni bang kecu dawk maw ka min na pacei telah ati. Hawvah yawhawinae a poe.
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30 Haw e hmuen teh Jakop ni Peniel, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh minhmai kâhmo lahoi ka hmu teh ka hringnae hah a pâhlung telah ati.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Hahoi Penuel hoi a tâco nah, kanî a tâco, Ahni teh a kamlang teh a phaihru kecu dawk a dongkhawt.
The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 Hatdawkvah, Jakop e phai hru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh dawkvah, sahnin totouh Isarel catounnaw ni phai hru kâcunae koe e tharui hah cat boi awh hoeh.
Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
