Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻi hono hala, pea fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
2 When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
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 He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in 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 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,
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 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.”
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 The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
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 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,
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 saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
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 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.’
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.’”
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 Jacob stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to his brother Esau:
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;
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats; 200 ewes, 20 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 30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 10 male donkeys.
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 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.”
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 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?’
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 are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following 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 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.
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 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.”
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 gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at 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 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.
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 After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo fekau ke nau aʻa ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea ne ʻave mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
24 But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
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 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.
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 Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.
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 “What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea ne pehē, “Ko Sēkope.”
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.”
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 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob 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 Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
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 The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi Penieli, naʻe hopo ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe ketu ia koeʻuhi ko hono tenga.
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.)
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.
