Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
Nanonjohy i lia’ey t’Iakòbe le nifanalaka ama’e o anjelin’ Añahareo;
2 When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
aa ie niisa’ Iakòbe le nanao ty hoe, Toben’Añahare itoy, le natao’e ty hoe Makanaime i toetse zay.
3 He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in the country of Edom.
Nirahe’ Iakòbe ty hiaolo aze mb’ amy Esave rahalahi’e mb’an-tane Seira, tane’ i Edome añe,
4 He told them, “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau. Your servant Jacob sends you this message. I've been staying with Laban up till now,
le nafanto’e ami’ty hoe, Endeso mb’amy talèko Esave añe o entañe zao, Hoe ty enta’ Iakòbe mpitoro’o, Nañialo amy Labàne ao iraho, le nitambatse añe ampara’ henane;
5 and I have cattle and donkeys and sheep and goats, and male and female slaves. I've sent these messengers to explain this to you my lord, hoping you'll be pleased to see me.”
Amañ’ añombe naho borìke, mpirai-lia naho ondevo ampela naho lahy; le nampihitrifeko mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo ty saontsy hahatreavako fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
Nibalike mb’am’Iakòbe i ìrake rey nitalily ty hoe, Nivotrak’ amy Esave rahalahi’o zahay, le mb’etoan-dre hifanalaka ama’o rekets’ondaty efa-jato.
7 When Jacob heard this, he was absolutely terrified. He split all the people with him, along with the sheep, goats, cattle, and camels, into two groups,
Nirevendreveñe naho nangebahebak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe; le zinara’e ho lia roe ze hene ondaty ama’eo naho o mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo vaho o ramevao
8 saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
fa hoe re, Aa naho pok’ami’ty lia-raike t’i Esave vaho horidañe’e, le hifiora’ i sehanga’ey.
9 Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’
Le hoe t’Iakòbe, O ry Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame raeko naho Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke raeko, ry Iehovà nanao tamako ty hoe, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’o mb’amo longo’oo mb’eo vaho hanoako soa.
10 I don't deserve all the trustworthy love and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I crossed the Jordan years ago with just my walking stick, and now I have two large camps.
Tsy mañeva ahiko ty piliti’e amo fiferenaiña’oo naho amo figahiña’o amo mpitoro’oo, kanao reketse kobaiñe Iraho te nitsake ty Iordane toy vaho fa aman-dia’e roe henaneo.
11 Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
Mihalaly ama’o, hahao am-pitàn-drahalahiko, am-pità’ i Esave, fa ihembañako, hera homb’eto re handafa ahy naho rakemba reketse keleiañe.
12 You yourself told me, ‘I will definitely treat you well. I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore—too many to count.’”
Ihe fa nitsara ty hoe, Toe hañasoa azo iraho, vaho hampiraeko amo fasen-driakeo o tarira’oo, ze tsy mete iaheñe ty amo fifamorohota’eo.
13 Jacob stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to his brother Esau:
Aa le nitobe eo re amy haleñey, vaho nilivae’e amo raha rinambem-pità’eo ty ho ravoravo amy Esave zoke’e:
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats; 200 ewes, 20 rams;
ose-vave roanjato, naho oselahy roa-polo, añondri-vave roanjato naho añondri-lahy roapolo,
15 30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 10 male donkeys.
rameva minono rekets’ ana’e telopolo, añombe-vave efapolo, añombe-lahy folo, borìke vave roapolo, vaho ana-borìke folo.
16 He put his servants in charge of each of the separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep a good distance between the herds.”
Natolo’e an-taña’ o mpitoro’eo irezay, sindre lia’e, vaho hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Iaolò Iraho naho adaradiso ami’ty lia-raike ty lia-raike.
17 He gave these instructions to those with the first herd: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who is your master, and where are you going, and whose are these animals with you?’
Le hoe re amy aoloy, Ie mifanampe ama’o t’i Esave zokeko, manao ty hoe, Ama’ia irehe? Homb’aia v’iheo? vaho ho ama’ ia o aolo’oo?
18 you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following us.’”
le hoe ty hatoi’o: A i Iakòbe mpitoro’oy, ravoravo nampisangitrife’e amy Esave talekoy; Indroy ie! manonjohy anay.
19 He gave the same instructions to those with the second and third and all the subsequent herds, telling them, “This what you are to say to Esau when he meets you.
Izay ty nafanto’e amy faharoey naho amy fahateloy, vaho amo nanonjohy i mpirai-lia rey iabio, ami’ty hoe: Ty hoe zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Esave te mizo aze
20 You must also tell him, ‘Your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob said to himself, “Maybe by sending these gifts on ahead Esau won't be angry with me and when I meet him he'll be kind to me.”
le tovoño ty hoe, Ingo, manonjohy anay t’Iakòbe mpitoro’o; ty amy asa’e ty hoe, Hampanintsiñeko amo ravoravo miaolo ahio ty haviñera’e; ie añe le ho treako ty lahara’e, ke ho no’e.
21 So the gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at the camp.
Aa le nitsake aolo’ aze i banabana’ey, ie nialeñe an-kialo atoy.
22 He got up during the night and took his two wives and the two personal maids and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River at the ford.
Nitroatse amy haleñey re, ninday i vali’e roe rey naho i mpitoro’e roe rey, vaho i ana-dahy folo-raik’ amby rey nitsake ami’ty fitsaha’ Iabòke.
23 After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
Nasese’e mb’eo naho nampitsahe’e i torahañey vaho nampitsahe’e ze tama’e.
24 But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
Aa le nidoke ho vahiny t’Iakòbe vaho nigarabiñe ama’e ty lahilahy ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray.
25 When the man realized he couldn't beat Jacob, he hit Jacob's hip socket and put it out of joint as he wrestled with him.
Ie nioni’e te tsy hahagiok’ aze, le pinao’e ty fikatsoha’ ty moja’e, vaho nikatsoke ty moja’ Iakòbe amy fifandrapaha’ey.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.
Le hoe re, Avotsoro fa hanjirike i àndroy. Fe hoe re, Tsy havotsoko naho tsy itata’o hey.
27 “What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Aa le nanoa’e ty hoe, Ia ty añara’o? Iakòbe, hoe re.
28 “Jacob will no longer be you name,” said the man. “Instead you will be called Israel, because you fought with God and with men and you won.”
Le hoe re, Tsy hatao Iakòbe ka ty tahina’o, fa Israele, amy t’ie nifanehak’ aman’ Andrianañahare naho am’ondatio vaho nahatañe.
29 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
Hoe ty nañontanea’ Iakòbe, Ehe, itsarao ty tahina’o. Fa hoe re, Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako? Le nitata’e eo.
30 Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
Aa le natao’ Iakòbe ty hoe Penoele i toetsey, ami’ty hoe, Nifañatre-daharañe aman’ Añahare iraho, fe narova’e ty fiaiko.
31 The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
Nanjirike i àndroy t’ie nitsake e Penoele ty amy moja’ey.
32 (That's why, even today, Israelites don't eat the thigh tendon attached to the hip socket, because that's where the man hit Jacob's hip socket.)
Aa le tsy fikamà’ o nte-Israeleo pake henane ty oza’ i moja mipitek’ am-pikatsohañey, amy te nipaohe’e ty oza’ i fikatsoha’ i moja’ Iakòbey ami’ty lahin-oza’ i tohakeiy.
