1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jacob chu akhol jinna amachal jing in, chule Pakai vantilten analam touvin ahi.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Jacob in amaho amu chun hitin aseyin, “Hilai mun hi Pathen ki choldo na mun ahi,” ati. hiche mun chu Mahanaim asah tai.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Hichun Jacob in Seir gamsunga Edom gamkaiya a upa Esau henga ding in thupo ding in mi asol masan.
4 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.
Aman hitin athumop in, “Kapu Esau kom ahi tia hi nasei ding ahi. Na sohpa Jacob in hitin aseiye, tuni gei hin Laban komma kaum jing nalaiye.
5 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.’”
Keiman gancha bong hon ahin, sangan hon ahin, kelngoi hon ahin, kelcha hon ahin, sohle kol jong tamtah ka neitai. Tua ka Pakai pa masanga ka hung tao ahi hichu nangma mitmun ngailut kachan thei nading tia nangma seipeh dinga mi ka hinsol ahiye ati, tin ga seitauvin,” ati.
6 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.”
Thu hettoh sah ho ahung ki nungle chun, Jacob komma hitin asei un, “Nasopi pa kaki muto piuvin, tua hi ama nangtoh kimuto ding in mi sang li toh ahung kon doh in ahi.”
7 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.
Ahin Jacob chu hiche thu ajah chun akicha lheh tan, hichun aman a insung mite ahin, gancha kelngoi ho jouse ahin, keltah ho se chule sangongsao hose ahin hop nin ahom khen in ahiye.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
Jacob in hitin agel lin, “Esau vin honkhat chu ahung bulu tah jongle honkhat pa beh asocha theiye,” ati.
9 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,’
Hichun Jacob ataovin, “Vo kapu Abraham Pathen, kapa Isaac Pathen, O ka Pakai, “Nagam langa ki nungle kit tan, na sopite lah atin neina houlim pin, keiman nang ding in aphat phat nan bol peh nang'e, tia seiya chu nang ma nahi.
10 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.
Nasohpa na mi ngailut na, long louva na kitah na ho chu keima chang thei ka hipoi. Ajeh chu ka tenggol keoseh puma hiche Jordan hi hung galkaiya kahin, tun mehem loini lhingset ka lamdoh tai.
11 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.
O ka Pakai lungset tah in ka sopipa Esau khut a kon in nei huhhing teiyin, keima kati aja lheh jeng'e; Ajeh chu aman kajite ho chule ka chate ho jong eihung no khum ding ahi tai.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted because there are so many.’”
Hinlah nangman, nang ding in aphat phat nan bolpeh nange, na chilhah te jeng jong twikhanglen panga neldi jat hin phantin, tam behseh jeng a kisim jou lou ding ahi,’ tin nana kitep e,” ati.
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
Jacob chu hiche muna chun ajan geh in athil poh ho lah achun alhengdoh in Esau asopipa peh ding in,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Kelpi jani, kelchal somni, kelngoipi jani chule kelngoi chal som ni toh,
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
Sangongsao pi som thum toh, anoute se toh, bongpi somli toh, bongchal som toh, sanganpi somni toh, chule sangan chal som toh alheng doh e.
16 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.”
Hichun Jacob in hiche gancha ho chu hopni in ahom in amaho vekol ding chun soh khat cheh anganse in, hichun asoh ho jah a hitin aseiye, “Nanghon hiche gancha hotoh hin keima masanglam a che tauvin Hinlah gancha hon teni kikah a chun mun ong umsah un,” ati.
17 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?’
Hichun ama hon lamkaipa jah achun hitin aseiye, “ka sopipa Esau to na kimuto lhon teng aman thu na hin doh teng, nangho hi hoilam jon ding na hiuvem? chule nangho koi gam mi na hiuham? tua gancha ho ahung masa ho chu koiya ham? ahin ti teng leh,
18 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.’”
Hiche teng chule hitia hi amaho na donbut dingu ahi, “Hiche gancha ho se hi na sohpa Jacob ma ahi, amaho hi kipa thilpeh adia kapu Esau a dinga kahin poh ahiye. Chule ama jong kanung lam uvah ahung e,” tiuvin ati.
19 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.
Hiti chun Jacob in soh masa pa athuhil bang chun anina pa ahin, athum napa geiyin gancha ho vetup lamkai jouse chu asei peh cheh tan, “Esau toh nakimu to tengu le na thusei hou chu ki bang cheh ding ahi.”
20 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.”
Chujong le vetan na sohpa Jacob jong kei ho nunga ahung'e,’ tia na seipeh ding'u ahi,” atin ahi. Ijeh inem itile Jacob gel a chu, “Ka masanga kitol thilpeh chengse hin ama jol lung dam thei khat ingting, ajou teng amai kamu thei ding ahi; ijem atile bon eina sang jeng khat inte,” tia angaito ahi.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Jacob in ngailut thilpeh ho chu ache masang in asol tan ahi, amavang hiche mun achun ajan geh in akhovah den tai.
22 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.
Hiche jan chun Jacob in ajite ni chule asoh teni chule achate pasal som le khat chu athoudoh tan Jabbok vadung chu agal kai pitan ahi.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Hichun Jacob in amaho chutoh vadung agalkai phat chun anei agou jouse toh asol tan ahi.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
Hichun Jacob chu achanga adalha tauvin, pasal khat in ama chu khovah geiyin akibot pin ahi.
25 When he saw that he did not prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
Pasal akibot pipa chun ajolou ding phat chun Jacob akonggu ahomlai tah chu asuhboh pehtan ahi.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Hichun pasal mihem pa chun aseiye, “Nei lhatan kho hungvah ding ahitai.” Amavang Jacob in adonbut in, “Phatthei neiboh toh kah a nangma kalha lou ding nahi,” ati.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
Mihem pasal pa chun adong in, “na min ipi ham? ati, hichun aman adonbut in, “Jacob ahi,” ati.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Mihem pa chun adonbut in, “Na min hi Jacob hitalou ding, tua patna Israel kiti ding nahitai. Ajeh chu nangma Pathen to na kibot in jong na hat in, mihemte jong na hinjo ding ahi,” atipeh e.
29 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.
Jacob in adong in, “Lungset tah in na min neisei peh in,” ati, mipa chun adonbut in, “Ibola kamin chu nahet nom ham,” ati. Hichun aman Jacob chu hilai mun a chun phatthei abohtan ahi.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
Hichun Jacob in hiche mun chu Peniel asahtai. “Ajeh chu keiman Pathen kaki maito pitan chule kahin kho jong ei huhdoh peh in ahi.”
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
Jacob in Peniel adalhah chun nisa ahung soh dohtan ahi, ajeh chu akonggu anat jeh ahi.
32 Therefore the children of Israel do not 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.
Hiche jeh chun tuni geihin Israel chaten akonggu to kijop matna khelgu hon sunga thapigui hi anepouve; ipijeh inem itile aman Jacob konggu hom sunga thapigui ana hebal peh in ahi.
