Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Jakubu nĩathiire na mbere na rũgendo rwake, na agĩtũngwo nĩ araika a Ngai.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Na rĩrĩa Jakubu aamoonire, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩ mbũtũ ya Ngai!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩĩta handũ hau Mahanaimu.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Ningĩ Jakubu agĩtũma andũ mathiĩ mbere yake kũrĩ mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ kũu Seiru, bũrũri-inĩ wa Edomu.
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
Akĩmataara, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũgũthiĩ kwĩra mwathi wakwa Esaũ: ‘Ndungata yaku Jakubu ĩkuuga atĩrĩ, ndĩraikaraga na Labani, na ngoretwo kuo nginya rĩu.
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Ndĩ na ngʼombe na ndigiri, na ngʼondu na mbũri, ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja. Na rĩu ndagũtũmĩra ndũmĩrĩri, we mwathi wakwa, nĩgeetha njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku.’”
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
Rĩrĩa atũmwo maacookire kũrĩ Jakubu makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrathiire kũrĩ mũrũ wa nyũkwa Esaũ, na rĩu nĩarooka gũgũtũnga, na arĩ na andũ magana mana.”
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
Jakubu akĩmaka mũno na akĩnyamarĩka, akĩgayania andũ arĩa aarĩ nao ikundi igĩrĩ, o na ndũũru cia mbũri na ndũũru cia ngʼombe o na ngamĩĩra nacio.
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
Agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Esaũ angĩũka atharĩkĩre gĩkundi kĩmwe-rĩ, gĩkundi kĩu kĩngĩ no kĩũre.”
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
Ningĩ Jakubu akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai wa baba Iburahĩmu, o Wee Ngai wa baba Isaaka, Wee Jehova ũrĩa wanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Cooka bũrũri waku na wa andũ anyu, na nĩngatũma ũgaacĩre,’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
ndirĩ mwagĩrĩru wa kuonio ũtugi ũyũ wothe na wĩhokeku ũrĩa ũnyonetie niĩ ndungata yaku. Ngĩringa Jorodani-rĩ, ndaarĩ o na rũthanju rwakwa rwiki, no rĩu nduĩkĩte ikundi igĩrĩ.
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
Ndagũthaitha honokia kuuma moko-inĩ ma mũrũ wa maitũ Esaũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩretigĩra ndagoke gũũtharĩkĩra, niĩ hamwe na ciana ici, na manyina maacio.
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
No nĩ uugĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũgaacĩre na ndũme njiaro ciaku cingĩhe ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ, ũrĩa ũtangĩtarĩka.’”
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
Akĩraara hau ũtukũ ũcio, na kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩa aarĩ nakĩo, agĩthuurĩra mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ kĩheo gĩkĩ;
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
mbũri magana meerĩ cia mĩgoma na thenge mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ngʼondu magana meerĩ na ndũrũme mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
ngamĩĩra mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia mĩgoma na njaũ ciacio, ngʼombe mĩrongo ĩna na ndegwa ikũmi, na ndigiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia mĩgoma na ikũmi cia njamba.
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
Agĩcinengera ndungata ciake, o rũũru mwanya, na akĩĩra ndungata icio ciake atĩrĩ, “Thiiagai mbere yakwa, na mũtigithũkanie rũũru na rũũru rũrĩa rũngĩ.”
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
Ningĩ agĩtaara ũrĩa wamatongoretie, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa mũrũ wa maitũ Esaũ arĩgũtũnga na akũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ũrĩ waũ? Na wathiĩ kũ? Na ũhiũ ũyũ wothe ũrĩ mbere yaku nĩ waũ?’
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
Nawe nĩũrĩmũcookeria ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ cia ndungata yaku Jakubu. Nĩ kĩheo gĩa kũhe mwathi wakwa Esaũ, na Jakubu arĩ thuutha witũ agĩũka.’”
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
Agĩcooka agĩtaara wa keerĩ na wa gatatũ, na arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra ndũũru icio, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo mũrĩĩraga Esaũ mwamũtũnga.
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
Na mũtikanaage kũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Jakubu ndungata yaku arĩ thuutha witũ agĩũka.’” Tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Ngũmũhooreria na iheo ici ngũtũma mbere yakwa; thuutha-inĩ ndamuona-rĩ, hihi ahota kũnyamũkĩra.”
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio iheo icio Jakubu aaheanĩte igĩthiiaga mbere yake, nowe akĩraara kũu kambĩ ũtukũ ũcio.
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
Na ũtukũ o ro ũcio, Jakubu agĩũkĩra, akĩoya atumia ake eerĩ, na ndungata iria igĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja, na ariũ ake ikũmi na ũmwe, na akĩmaringĩria iringĩro rĩa Jaboku.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Aarĩkia kũmaringia, akĩringia indo iria ciothe aarĩ nacio.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Nake Jakubu agĩtigwo arĩ o wiki, na hagĩũka mũndũ maagianire nake o nginya gũgĩthererũka.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
Na rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio onire atĩ ndangĩmũhoota-rĩ, akĩmũhutia ihĩndĩ rĩa gĩtina gĩa kũgũrũ, nakuo kũgũrũ kwa Jakubu gũgĩthenyũkĩra hau gĩtina-inĩ, o makĩgianaga na mũndũ ũcio.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Na mũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke ndĩthiĩre tondũ nĩ gwathererũka.” No Jakubu akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩreka ũthiĩ ũtandathimĩte.”
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩtagwo atĩa?” Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩtagwo Jakubu.”
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Jakubu, no ũrĩĩtagwo Isiraeli, tondũ nĩũgianĩte na Ngai o na andũ, na ũkahootana.”
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, njĩĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku.” Nowe akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũranjũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩkĩ?” Agĩcooka akĩmũrathima marĩ o hau.
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩĩta handũ hau Penieli, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩnyonete Ngai ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, na akahonokia muoyo wakwa.”
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Narĩo riũa rĩkĩmũrathĩra akĩhĩtũka hau Penieli, na nĩathuaga nĩ ũndũ nĩathenyũkĩtwo nĩ ihĩndĩ rĩa gĩtina gĩa kũgũrũ.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
Nĩ tondũ ũcio, nginyagia ũmũthĩ ũyũ andũ a Isiraeli matirĩĩaga mũkiha ũrĩa ũnyiitanĩte na ihĩndĩ rĩa gĩtina gĩa kũgũrũ, tondũ ihĩndĩ rĩa gĩtina gĩa kũgũrũ kwa Jakubu rĩahutĩirio hakuhĩ na mũkiha ũcio.
