Chakruok 32
1 Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuodhe, kendo malaike mag Nyasaye noromo kode.
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Kane Jakobo onenogi, nowacho niya, “Ma en kambi mar Nyasaye!” Kuom mano nochako kanyo ni Mahanaim (tiende ni kembni ariyo).
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Jakobo nooro joote nyime ir owadgi Esau e piny Seir, gwengʼ mar Edom.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 Jakobo nomiyogi chik niya, “Ma e gima onego udhi uwach ne ruodha Esau: Misumbani Jakobo wacho ni, ‘Asebedo ka adak gi Laban kendo asebedo kuno nyaka chil kawuono.
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now:
5 An kod dhok kod punde, rombe gi diek, jotich machwo kod jotich mamon. Omiyo koro aoro oteni ne ruodha, mondo ayud ngʼwono e wangʼe.’”
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 Kane jootego odwogo ir Jakobo negiwachone niya, “Ne wadhi ir owadu Esau kendo koro obiro mondo orom kodi, to ji mia angʼwen bende ni kode.”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Kane Jakobo owinjo mano luoro kod kibaji nogoye mangʼeny mi nopogo jambe, gi dhoge kod ngamia e migepe ariyo.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and distressed: and he divided the people that [were] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
8 Noparo e chunye niya, “Ka Esau omonjo migawo achiel, to migawo machielo modongʼ nyalo tony.”
And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left, will escape.
9 Eka Jakobo nolamo kawacho niya, “Yaye Nyasach kwara Ibrahim, Nyasach wuora Isaka, Jehova Nyasaye mane owachona ni, ‘Dogi thuru ir jou, kendo abiro miyo inyaa,’
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee;
10 ok awinjora gi kech kod adieragi duto misenyiso jatichni. Ne an mana gi ludha kende kane angʼado aora Jordan, to koro aseduogo gi ogendini ariyo.
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant: for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands.
11 Alamo ni mondo iresa e lwet owadwa Esau nikech aluor ni obiro biro ma omonja kaachiel gi mon kod nyithindgi.
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he shall come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
12 To isewachona ni, ‘Adier abiro miyo inyaa kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi bedo mathoth ka kuoyo man e dho nam, ma ok nyal kwan.’”
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 Jakobo nonindo kanyo, kendo kuom gik mane en-go ne oyiero mich ne owadgi Esau kaka:
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother;
14 Diek mamon mia ariyo kod nywogi piero ariyo, rombe mamon mia ariyo gi imbe piero ariyo,
Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 ngamia mamon piero adek gi nyithindgi, dhok mamon piero angʼwen kod rwedhi apar, kod punde mamon piero ariyo kod punde machwo apar.
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
16 Noketogi e lwet jotichne ka moro ka moro otelone kweth ka kweth kendo nowachonegi niya, “Teluru nyima kuweyo thuolo e kind kweth ka kweth.”
And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 Nomiyo ngʼat mane otelo chik niya, “Ka owadwa Esau oromo kodi mopenji ni, ‘In jatich ngʼa, to idhi kanye kendo ni jamni duto misembogi gin mag ngʼa?’
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 Eka iwachne ni, ‘Magi gin mag jatichni Jakobo. Gin mich ma oor ne ruodha Esau, Jakobo bende biro bangʼwa.’”
Then thou shalt say, They [are] thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord Esau: and behold also he [is] behind us.
19 Bende nomiyo ngʼat mar ariyo, gi ngʼat mar adek kod jogo duto mane luwo bangʼ kweth chik niya, “Un duto wachuru ne Esau mana gima chalre kuromo kode.
And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
20 Kendo une ni uwacho ni, ‘Jatichni Jakobo biro bangʼwa.’” Nikech noparo niya, “Obiro hoye gi mich ma ooroneni kendo ka oneno to ponono obiro rwaka.”
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 Kuom mano mich Jakobo noter motelo, ka en to nodongʼ ei kambi.
So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the company.
22 Otienono Jakobo nochungʼ mokawo monde ariyo, jotichne mamon ariyo kod yawuote apar gachiel kendo negikadho aora mar Jabok.
And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 Jakobo nokawo joge kaachiel gi gige mi nokowogi nyaka loka aora Jabok.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
24 Bangʼ mano Jakobo nodongʼ kende, kendo ngʼato noi kode otieno duto nyaka okinyi.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day.
25 Kane ngʼatno oneno ni ok onyal goye piny, nomulo fuoni mar bamne, kuom mano chieke nowil.
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 Ngʼatno nowacho niya, “We adhi, nikech en odiechiengʼ.” To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ok abi weyi idhi nyaka igwedha.”
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh; And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 Ngʼatno nopenje niya, “Nyingi ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “Jakobo.”
And he said to him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Eka ngʼatno nowacho niya, “Nyingi ok nochak oluongi ni Jakobo, to noluongi ni Israel nikech ise ii gi Nyasaye kod ji mi iseloyo.”
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 Jakobo nowachone niya, “Asayi nyisa nyingi.” To nodwoko Jakobo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenjo nyinga?” Eka nogwedho Jakobo kanyo.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name: And he said, why [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 Kuom mano Jakobo nochako kanyo ni Peniel (tiende ni wangʼ Nyasaye) kowacho niya, “Nikech aseneno Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ kendo ngimana oresi.”
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 Chiengʼ notuchne ka okadho Peniel kendo nowuotho kolingʼo nikech bamne nowil.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Mano emomiyo nyaka kawuono jo-Israel ok cham ringʼo moriwo fuond bam ka giparogo wil mar fuond bam Jakobo.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew which shrunk, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrunk.
