< Genesis 32 >
1 And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻi hono hala, pea fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
2 And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sēkope kiate kinautolu, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e kau tau eni ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Mehanemi.”
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
Pea fekau ʻe Sēkope ʻae kau talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, ʻi he fonua ko Seia, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.
4 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; ʻoku pehē mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, Naʻaku nofo ʻāunofo mo Lepani peau nofo mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ni.
5 And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
Pea kuo u maʻu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mo e ngaahi fanga manu, mo e kau tangata tauhi, mo e kau fefine tauhi, pea kuo u fekau ke fakahā ia ki hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u lelei ʻi ho ʻao.”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Pea toe liu mai ʻae kau tangata kia Sēkope, ʻo nau pehē, “Naʻa mau hoko ki ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, pea vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia foki ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate koe, mo e kau tangata ʻe fāngeau.”
7 And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻa Sēkope, ʻo mamahi lahi: pea ne vaeua ʻae kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu lalahi, pea mo e fanga kāmeli.
8 And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
Pea ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsoa ki he kakai ʻe taha ʻo taaʻi ia, pea ko e kakai ʻe toe te nau hao.”
9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope, “E ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻAisake, ko e ʻEiki naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘Toe ʻalu ki ho fonua mo ho kāinga, pea te u fai lelei kiate koe:’
10 Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
ʻOku ʻikai te u taau au, mo e siʻi hifo ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kotoa pē, mo e moʻoni kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: he naʻaku ʻalu mo hoku tokotoko pe ʻi he Sioatani ni; ka ko eni, kuo u hoko ko e kakai ʻe ua.
11 Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku taʻokete mei he nima ʻo ʻIsoa: he ʻoku ou manavahē kiate ia, telia naʻa ne haʻu ʻo taaʻi au, pea mo e fale mo e fānau.
12 But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
Pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘Te u fai lelei kiate koe, ʻo ngaohi ho hako ke tatau mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono lahi.’”
13 And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
Pea mohe ia ʻi ai ʻi he pō ko ia pea naʻa ne fili mai ʻaia naʻe ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa;
14 two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
Ko e kosi fefine ʻe uangeau mo e kosi tangata ʻe uofulu, mo e sipi fefine ʻe uangeau, mo e sipitangata ʻe uofulu.
15 milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
Ko e kāmeli huhu ʻe tolungofulu mo honau ʻuhiki, mo e fanga pulu fefine ʻe fāngofulu, mo e pulu tangata ʻe hongofulu, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe uofulu mo e ʻuhiki ʻe hongofulu.
16 And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Pea ne tuku fakafaʻahinga ia ki he nima ʻoe kau tauhi, pea ne pehē ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ʻo fakavahavaha ʻae faʻahinga manu taki taha.”
17 And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
Pea fekau ia ki he ʻuluaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOka fakafetaulaki mai hoku taʻokete ko ʻIsoa kiate koe, ʻo fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai koe?’ pea, ‘ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē?’ Pea ʻoku ʻa hai ʻena ʻi ho ʻao?
18 You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
Pea ke lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, pea ko e meʻaʻofa ia kuo ne fekau ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; pea vakai, ʻoku ne muimui mai.’”
19 And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
Pea naʻa ne fekau pehē ki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muimui ki he fanga manu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa, ʻoka mou ka fetaulaki mo ia.
20 and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
Pea te mou pehē foki, ‘Vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope.’” He naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻaki ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, pea te u toki mamata ki hono mata; heiʻilo pe te ne maʻu lelei au.”
21 So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻo nau muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha; pea mohe ia ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai.
22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he pō ko ia ʻo ne ʻave hono ongo uaifi, mo ʻene ongo kaunanga, mo hono ngaahi foha ʻe toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, pea nau aʻa ʻi he aʻaʻanga ko Sapoki.
23 And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo fekau ke nau aʻa ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea ne ʻave mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
Ka naʻe nofo tokotaha pe ʻa Sēkope; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻa na fefaʻuhi mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he mafoa ʻae ata.
25 And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku ʻikai te ne mālohi kiate ia, naʻa ne alasi ʻae tefito tupu ʻo Sēkope: pea naʻe homo ʻae tenga ʻo Sēkope, ʻi he ʻena fefaʻuhi mo ia.
26 And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, he kuo maʻa ʻae ʻaho;” pea ne pehē, “E ʻikai te u tukuange koe ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuaki au.”
27 And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea ne pehē, “Ko Sēkope.”
28 And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko Sēkope, ka ko ʻIsileli: he ʻoku hangē ko ha ʻeiki ʻa hoʻo fai mālohi ki he ʻOtua, mo e tangata, pea kuo ke lavaʻi.”
29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
Pea fehuʻi ʻe Sēkope kiate ia, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tala mai ho hingoa. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fehuʻi ai ki hoku hingoa?” Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻi ai.
30 And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
Pea ne ui ʻe Sēkope ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Penieli. He kuo u mamata ki he ʻOtua, ko e mata ki he mata, ka ʻoku ou kei moʻui.
31 And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi Penieli, naʻe hopo ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe ketu ia koeʻuhi ko hono tenga.
32 Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae uoua naʻe alasi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he aoʻi tenga, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: koeʻuhi naʻa ne alasi ʻae aoʻi tupu ʻo Sēkope ʻi he uoua naʻe mingi.
