< Genesis 32 >
1 Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
Jakọbu sì ń bá ọ̀nà tirẹ̀ lọ, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pàdé rẹ̀.
2 When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí wọn, ó wí pé, “Àgọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èyí!” Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni Mahanaimu.
3 He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in the country of Edom.
Jakọbu sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ṣáájú ara rẹ̀ sí Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ Seiri ní orílẹ̀-èdè Edomu.
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,
Ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò wí fún Esau olúwa mi, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, ‘Mo ti ṣe àtìpó lọ́dọ̀ Labani títí ó fi di àsìkò yìí.
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.”
Mo ní màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́. Mo tún ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin. Mo ń ránṣẹ́ yìí sí olúwa mi kí èmi le è rí ojúrere rẹ.’”
6 The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà padà tọ Jakọbu wà, wọ́n wí pé “Esau arákùnrin rẹ ti múra láti wá pàdé rẹ pẹ̀lú irinwó ọkùnrin.”
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,
Pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìbànújẹ́ ni Jakọbu fi pín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí ìpín méjì, ó sì pín àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, agbo ẹran àti ìbákasẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
8 saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
Nítorí ó rò ó nínú rẹ̀ pé, “Bí Esau bá kọjú ogun sí ìpín kan, ìpín kejì yóò sá àsálà.”
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.’
Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu gbàdúrà pe, “Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba mi, àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki baba mi, Olúwa tí ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ìbátan rẹ, èmi yóò sì ṣe ọ́ ní rere,’
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.
èmi kò tilẹ̀ yẹ fún àánú àti òtítọ́ tí o ń fihàn fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí pé, kìkì ọ̀pá mi ni mo mu kúrò ni ilé kọjá Jordani yìí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, èmi ti di ẹgbẹ́ méjì.
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.
Jọ̀wọ́ Olúwa gbà mí lọ́wọ́ Esau arákùnrin mi, nítorí ẹ̀rù ń bà mí pé yóò wá dojú ìjà kọ mí àti àwọn ìyàwó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ mi.
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.’”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti ṣèlérí pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú ọ gbilẹ̀, èmi yóò sì mú kí àwọn ìran rẹ dà bì í yanrìn òkun tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò le è kà.’”
13 Jacob stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to his brother Esau:
Ó sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà níbẹ̀. Ó mú ẹ̀bùn fún Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ nínú ohun ìní rẹ̀.
14 200 female goats, 20 male goats; 200 ewes, 20 rams;
Igba ewúrẹ́, ogún òbúkọ, igba àgùntàn, ogún àgbò,
15 30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 10 male donkeys.
ọgbọ̀n abo ìbákasẹ pẹ̀lú ọmọ wọn, ogójì abo màlúù àti akọ màlúù mẹ́wàá, ogún abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
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.”
Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ ṣáájú mi, kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àlàfo wà láàrín ọ̀wọ́ agbo ẹran kọ̀ọ̀kan sí èkejì.”
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?’
Ó pàṣẹ fún èyí tí ó ṣáájú pé, “Nígbà tí arákùnrin mi Esau bá pàdé rẹ tí ó sì béèrè ẹni tí ìwọ í ṣe àti ibi tí ìwọ ń lọ àti ẹni tí ó ni agbo ẹran tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ,
18 you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following us.’”
nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wí pé, ‘Ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Jakọbu ni wọ́n. Ẹ̀bùn ni ó sì fi wọ́n ṣe fún Esau olúwa mi, òun pàápàá ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’”
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.
Jakọbu sì pàṣẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ fún ọ̀wọ́ kejì àti ẹ̀kẹta àti àwọn tókù tí ó tẹ̀lé agbo ẹran pé, “Ohun kan ṣoṣo yìí náà ni kí ẹ sọ fún Esau nígbà tí ẹ bá pàdé rẹ̀.
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.”
Kí ẹ rí i dájú wí pé, ẹ sọ fún un pé, ‘Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’” Èrò Jakọbu ni láti fi àwọn ẹ̀bùn wọ̀nyí tu Esau lójú pé bóyá inú Esau yóò dùn sí òun nígbà tí àwọn bá pàdé.
21 So the gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at the camp.
Nítorí náà ẹ̀bùn Jakọbu ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, Jakọbu pàápàá sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà nínú àgọ́.
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.
Ó sì dìde ní òru ọjọ́ náà, ó mú àwọn aya rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mọ́kọ̀ọ̀kànlá, wọ́n sì kọjá ní ìwọdò Jabbok.
23 After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti rán wọn kọjá odò tán sí òkè odò, ó sì rán àwọn ohun ìní rẹ̀ kọjá pẹ̀lú.
24 But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
Ó sì ku Jakọbu nìkan, ọkùnrin kan sì bá a ja ìjàkadì títí ó fi di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà rí i pé òun kò le borí Jakọbu, ó fọwọ́ kàn án ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, egungun náà sì yẹ̀ kúrò lórí ike, bí ó ti ń ja ìjàkadì.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí ń máa lọ, nítorí ojúmọ́ ti mọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi kò ní jẹ́ kí o lọ, àyàfi bí o bá súre fún mi.”
27 “What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
Ọkùnrin náà béèrè orúkọ rẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Jakọbu ni òun ń jẹ́.”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí pé, “Orúkọ rẹ kì yóò jẹ́ Jakọbu mọ́ bí kò ṣe Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ ti bá Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn jà, o sì borí.”
29 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
Jakọbu sì bẹ ọkùnrin náà pé, “Sọ orúkọ rẹ fún mi.” Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin náà sá à dáhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí o ń béèrè orúkọ mi?” Lẹ́yìn náà ó súre fún Jakọbu níbẹ̀.
30 Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
Jakọbu sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Penieli pé, “Mo rí Ọlọ́run ní ojúkojú, síbẹ̀ a dá ẹ̀mí mi sí.”
31 The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá Penieli, oòrùn ràn bá a, ó sì ń tiro nítorí itan rẹ̀.
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.)
Ìdí nìyí tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kì í fi í jẹ iṣan tí ó wà ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ títí di òní olónìí, nítorí níbi iṣan náà ni a ti fọwọ́ kan ibi tí egungun itan Jakọbu ti bẹ̀rẹ̀.
