Genesis 32
1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufe; ergamoonni Waaqayyoos isatti dhufan.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
Innis yommuu isaan argetti, “Kun buufata Waaqaa ti” jedhe; iddoo sanas Mahanayiim jedhee moggaase.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Yaaqoobis gara obboleessa isaa Esaawu kan biyya Edoom lafa Seeʼiir jedhamu keessa jiraatuutti ergamoota of dura erge.
4 He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
Innis akkana jedhee isaan ajaje: “Isin gooftaa koo Esaawuun akkana jedhaa: ‘Garbichi kee Yaaqoob akkana jedha; ani Laabaa bira jiraadhee hamma ammaattis isuma biran ture.
5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
Ani loonii fi harroota, hoolotaa fi reʼoota, hojjettoota dhiiraatii fi dubartootas qaba. Ammas ani fuula kee duratti surraa akkan argadhuuf ergaa kana gooftaa kootti nan erga.’”
6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
Ergamoonni sunis gara Yaaqoobitti deebiʼanii, “Nu obboleessa kee Esaawu bira dhaqneerra; innis si simachuuf dhufaa jira; namoonni dhibba afur isa wajjin jiru” jedhaniin.
7 In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
Yaaqoobis akka malee sodaatee dhiphate; namoota isa wajjin turanis garee lamatti qoode; bushaayee, loowwanii fi gaalawwan illee akkasuma garee lamatti qoode.
8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
Innis, “Yoo Esaawu dhufee garee tokko dhaʼe, gareen kaan jalaa baʼa” jedhee yaade.
9 Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’
Yaaqoob akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqa abbaa koo Abrahaam, Waaqa abbaa koo Yisihaaq, yaa Waaqayyo, isa ‘Ati gara biyya keetii fi gara firoota keetiitti deebiʼi, ani waan gaarii siifin godhaa’ naan jette sun,
10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
ani gaarummaa fi amanamummaa ati ana garbicha kee argisiifte kana hundaaf hin malu. Ani yeroo Yordaanos kana ceʼetti ulee koo qofa qaban ture; amma garuu garee lama taʼeen jira.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
Ani akka ati harka obboleessa koo Esaawu jalaa na baastu sin kadhadha. Ani, ‘Inni dhufee na ajjeesa; haadhotas ijoollee isaanii wajjin ni ajjeesa’ jedhee sodaadheeraatii.
12 But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
Ati garuu, ‘Ani dhugumaan waan gaarii siifin godha; sanyii kees akka cirracha galaanaa kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye sanaa nan godha’ jetteerta.”
13 Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
Inni halkan sana achuma bule; waan of biraa qabu keessaas kennaa obboleessa isaa Esaawuuf kennu filate;
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
isaanis reʼoota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii reʼee digdama, hoolota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii hoolaa digdama,
15 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
gaalawwan dhalaa soddoma ilmaan isaanii wajjin, saawwan afurtama, jiboota loonii kudhan, harroota dhaltuu digdama, wadala harrootaa kudhan turan.
16 He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
Innis karra karraan addaan baasee tajaajiltoota isaatti kennee, “Na dura darbaa deemaa; karrawwan horii gidduuttis lafa hambisaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
17 He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
Namicha fuula duraan jiru sanaanis akkana jedhe: “Yoo Esaaw obboleessi koo sitti dhufe, ‘Ati kan eenyuu ti? Eessa dhaqxa? Horiin fuula kee dura jiru kun kan eenyuu ti?’ jedhee si gaafate,
18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
ati, ‘Kan garbicha kee Yaaqoob. Isaanis kennaa gooftaa koo Esaawuuf ergamanii dha; kunoo, Yaaqoobis nu duubaan dhufaa jira’ jechuu qabda.”
19 He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
Namicha lammaffaa, sadaffaa fi warra karrawwan sana faana deeman hundas akkana jedhee ajaje; “Isinis yoo Esaawun argitan waanuma kana isatti himaa.
20 You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
Akkasumas, ‘Kunoo garbichi kee Yaaqoob nu duubaan dhufaa jira’ jedhaa.” Inni, “Ani kennaa of dura ergeef kanaan isa nan araarfadha; ergasii immoo ani yommuun isa argutti tarii inni na simata taʼa” jedhee yaadee tureetii.
21 So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
Kennaan Yaaqoobiis isa dura darbe; Yaaqoob garuu halkan sana qubata sana keessa bule.
22 During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Halkanuma sana Yaaqoob kaʼee niitota isaa lamaan, xomboreewwan isaa lamaanii fi ilmaan isaa kudha tokko fudhatee malkaa Yaaboq ceʼe.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
Innis erga laga isaan ceesisee booddee qabeenya isaa hunda erge.
24 So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
Yaaqoob immoo kophaa isaa hafe; namichi tokkos hamma lafti bariitutti walʼaansoo isa qabe.
25 When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
Namichis yommuu akka Yaaqoobin moʼachuu hin dandeenye argetti, buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob tuqe; yeroo inni namicha wajjin walʼaansoo qabettis luqqeettuun Yaaqoob ni adoode.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Namichis, “Waan bariʼuu gaʼeef gad na dhiisi” jedhe. Yaaqoob garuu, “Yoo ati na eebbifte malee ani gad si hin dhiisu” jedhee deebise.
27 “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Namichis, “Maqaan kee eenyu” jedhee isa gaafate. Inni immoo, “Yaaqoob” jedhee deebise.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
Namichis, “Ati sababii Waaqaa fi namoota wajjin walʼaansoo qabdee moʼatteef siʼachi Israaʼel jedhamta malee Yaaqoob hin jedhamtu” jedhe.
29 And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
Yaaqoobis, “Maaloo maqaa kee natti himi” jedheen. Inni garuu, “Ati maaliif maqaa koo gaafatta?” jedheen. Ergasiis inni achumatti isa eebbise.
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
Yaaqoobis, “Ani ifaan ifatti Waaqa argeeraatii; lubbuun koo garuu oolfamteerti” jedhee iddoo sana Pheniiʼeel jedhee moggaase.
31 The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
Akkuma inni Phenuuʼeelin darbeen aduun isatti baate; innis sababii luqqeettuu isaatiif okkolaa ture.
32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti ribuu tafaa hin nyaatan; inni buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob kan tafaan wal qabatu tuqee tureetii.
