Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
Basa ma, Yakob se laoꞌ rakandoo. Ma Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rema randaa ro e.
2 When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
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 He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in 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 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,
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 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.”
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 The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
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 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,
Yakob rena nala ma, tenda na rombe, huu namatau nala seli. De ana bꞌanggi atahori nara no banda nara, neu nononggoꞌ rua.
8 saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
Ana duꞌa nae, “Mete ma Esau nema namue mana sia mataꞌ ra, naa, mana sia deaꞌ ra bisa rela sangga masodꞌa.”
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.’
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 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.
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 save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
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 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.’”
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 stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to 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 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 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 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.”
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 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?’
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 you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following 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 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.
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 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.”
21 So the gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at the camp.
Dadꞌi ana haitua banda ra raꞌahuluꞌ, te tetembaꞌ naa, ana feꞌe nahani sia naa.
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.
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 After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
Ara losa seriꞌ ma, ana haitua basa hata-heto nara naa reu.
24 But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
Te Yakob mesaꞌ ne nahani sia naa. Boe ma, touꞌ esa nema, napote no e losa deka manggarelo.
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.
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 because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.
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's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Touꞌ a nataa nae, “Ho naram, seka?” Nataa nae, “Yakob.”
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.”
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 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. 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 Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
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 came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
Relo a todꞌa ma, Yakob lao hela mamanaꞌ naa. Te ana laoꞌ doka-doka, huu saka buku na nelasala.
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.)
Naa de losa fai ia, atahori Israꞌel ra nda raa sisi banda saka bukuꞌ sa, huu Lamatualain poko nasalaꞌ baꞌi Yakob saka buku na.
