Genesis 32
1 Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Basa ma, Yakob se laoꞌ rakandoo. Ma Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rema randaa ro e.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
Ana nita se ma, olaꞌ nae, “Ia, Lamatualain soldꞌadꞌu nara mamana hahae ao nara!” Naa de, ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Mahanaim (sosoa na ‘mamana hahaeꞌ rua’).
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu atahori nara hira, lao raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ nusa Edom (nara feaꞌ na, Seir), fo rafadꞌe aꞌa na Esau rae, eni nae nema.
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.
Yakob denu se nae, “Mi mifadꞌe au aꞌa ngga Esau taꞌo ia: ‘Malangga Esau! Malangga ate na, odꞌi Yakob, fee dudꞌuꞌa-aꞌafiꞌ neu malangga. Mia au lalao ngga dalahulu na, losa faiꞌ ia, malangga ate na ia, leo sia toꞌo Labꞌan ume na.
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.’”
Ia naa, malangga ate na ia, naꞌena sapi, keledei, hiek-lombo, ma ate touꞌ ma inaꞌ. Au fee atahori ia ra raꞌahuluꞌ, fo rafadꞌe malangga, au uꞌuma ngga. Au oꞌe, malangga hii simbo hai no maloleꞌ.” Yakob denu basa taꞌo naa ma, atahori naa ra lao.
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.”
Ara baliꞌ risiꞌ Yakob ma, rafadꞌe rae, “Hai mindaa mo amaꞌ aꞌa na Esau ena. Ia naa, ana nema no touꞌ natun haa, fo rae randaa ro amaꞌ.”
7 In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
Yakob rena nala ma, tenda na rombe, huu namatau nala seli. De ana bꞌanggi atahori nara no banda nara, neu nononggoꞌ rua.
8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
Ana duꞌa nae, “Mete ma Esau nema namue mana sia mataꞌ ra, naa, mana sia deaꞌ ra bisa rela sangga masodꞌa.”
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,’
Basa ma, Yakob hule-oꞌe nae, “Lamatualain, e! Lamatualain fo au baꞌi Abraham no ama Isak ngga beꞌuteeꞌ a. Rena au dei! Fai maꞌahulu na, Lamatualain denu au baliꞌ uma sia bobꞌonggi nggara, sia nusaꞌ ia. Ma Lamatualain o helu nae, dei fo Lamatualain tao natetu basa ia ra.
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.
Au nda undaa sa te, Lamatualain sue au, ma mete-seꞌu au nakandooꞌ a. Maꞌahulu na, au nggani loe Yarden ia, au endi akaꞌ a teteas. Te ia naa, au baliꞌ uma endi atahori no banda nononggoꞌ rua.
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.
Au umutau, afiꞌ losa aꞌa Esau nema namue fo tao nisa basa hai. De au oꞌe Lamatualain fee masodꞌa neu au, o basa sao-ana nggara, mia e.
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.’”
Lamatualain o mana helu mae fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae-nae, ma tao tititi-nonosi nggara boe ramaheta, onaꞌ a saraꞌae sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda ito-reken rala sa.”
13 Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ sia mamanaꞌ naa. Mbila fefetu na ma, ana haꞌi banda nae fee aꞌa na Esau.
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
Ana tengga nala bibꞌi hiek ine natun rua, bibꞌi hiek mone rua nulu, bibꞌi lombo ine natun rua, bibꞌi lombo mone rua nulu,
15 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
banda onta ine telu nulu ro ana nara feꞌe mana susuꞌ, sapi ine haa nulu, sapi mone sanahulu, keledei ine rua nulu, ma keledei mone sanahulu.
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.”
Ana banggi banda ra mataꞌ esa-esaꞌ no nononggo na. Ma ana fee nononggoꞌ esa-esaꞌ no manatadꞌa na. Ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Laoꞌ miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo au tungga deaꞌ. Te hei musi minea fo nononggoꞌ esa naꞌadꞌooꞌ no esa.”
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?’
Ma Yakob parenda manatadꞌa mia nononggoꞌ maꞌahuluꞌ a nae, “Mete ma au aꞌa ngga Esau nandaa no nggo, ma natane nae, ‘Ho mae bee muu? Ho ia, seka ate na? Banda ia ra, seka ena nara?’
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.’”
naa, musi mutaa mae, ‘Banda ia ra, malangga ate na Yakob ena na. Ana haitua fee aꞌa na, Esau. Te ana feꞌe tungga dea.
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.
Yakob o fee parendaꞌ onaꞌ naa neu basa manatadꞌa feaꞌ nara nae, “Mete ma mindaa mo aꞌa Esau, fee banda naa ra reu e, dei fo mifadꞌe mae au feꞌe tungga deaꞌ.” Ana duꞌa nae, mete ma fee basa banda naa ra reu Esau, naa, Esau rala na namaloa no e.
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.”
21 So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
Dadꞌi ana haitua banda ra raꞌahuluꞌ, te tetembaꞌ naa, ana feꞌe nahani sia naa.
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.
Tetembaꞌ naa, Yakob fela, de naꞌabꞌue sao nara ruꞌa se, sao tias nara ruꞌa se, ma ana nara sanahulu esa. Ana denu se nggani raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ loe Yabok seriꞌ.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
Ara losa seriꞌ ma, ana haitua basa hata-heto nara naa reu.
24 So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
Te Yakob mesaꞌ ne nahani sia naa. Boe ma, touꞌ esa nema, napote no e losa deka manggarelo.
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.
Touꞌ a medꞌa naeꞌ a kala ma, ana hemba Yakob soꞌe noo na, de rui bobꞌonggo na lao hela manggo na.
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.”
Boe ma, touꞌ a nae, “Mboꞌi au, te mbeifen te, relo a todꞌa ena.” Te Yakob nataa nae, “Olaꞌ fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, dei fo au mboꞌi nggo!”
27 “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Touꞌ a nataa nae, “Ho naram, seka?” Nataa nae, “Yakob.”
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.”
Te touꞌ a olaꞌ nae, “Ho naram, nda Yakob sa ena. Mia leleꞌ ia, atahori roꞌe nggo rae Israꞌel, huu mufetu mo atahori ma Lamatualain, losa musenggiꞌ se.” (Naraꞌ Israꞌel sosoa na ‘mana napote no Lamatualain’.)
29 And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Ho naram, seka?” Te touꞌ a nae, “Mutane nara ngga, tao sa?” Boe ma ana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Yakob sia naa.
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
Boe ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Au ita Lamatualain mata Na, te au feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.” Huu naa, ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Peniel, sosoan ‘Lamatualain mata na’.
31 The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
Relo a todꞌa ma, Yakob lao hela mamanaꞌ naa. Te ana laoꞌ doka-doka, huu saka buku na nelasala.
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.
Naa de losa fai ia, atahori Israꞌel ra nda raa sisi banda saka bukuꞌ sa, huu Lamatualain poko nasalaꞌ baꞌi Yakob saka buku na.
