Genesis 32
1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
Jakob loe caehhaih loklam ah caeh poe, to naah Sithaw ih van kaminawk mah anih to tongh o.
2 and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
Jakob mah nihcae to hnuk naah, Hae loe Sithaw ih misatuh kaminawk ni, tiah thuih; to pongah to ahmuen to Mahanaim, tiah ahmin sak.
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Jakob mah Edom prae, Seir hmuen ah, amya Esau khaeah laicaehnawk to hmaloe ah patoeh.
4 and commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger until now;
Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ka angraeng Esau khaeah, Na tamna Jakob mah, Kai loe Laban khaeah ka caeh moe, vaihi doeh to ah ka oh vop;
5 and I have ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
maitawnawk, laa hrangnawk, tuunawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk doeh ka tawnh; na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh hanah, vaihi ka angraeng khaeah lokthuih hanah ang patoeh, tiah a naa o.
6 And the messengers return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him”;
Laicaehnawk loe Jakob khaeah amlaem o let, anih khaeah, Nam ya Esau khaeah ka caeh o, vaihi nang hnuk hanah kami cumvai palito angzoh haih, tiah a thuih pae o.
7 and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
Jakob loe paroeai zit moe, tasoeh pongah, angmah khae kaom kaminawk, tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk to, abu hnetto ah tapraek.
8 and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
Esau mah abu maeto tuh nahaeloe, kalah abu maeto loih nasoe, tiah a poek pongah to tiah a sak.
9 And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
To naah Jakob mah, Aw, kam pa Abraham ih Sithaw, kam pa Issak ih Sithaw, Na prae hoi nangmah acaeng kaminawk khaeah amlaem ah, nang hae kang lensak han, tiah kai khaeah lokthuikung, Angraeng,
10 I have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
na tamna khaeah nam tuengsak ih na tahmenhaih hoi oepthohhaih tetta mataeng doeh hnuk han kam cuk ai; hae Jordan vapui kang kaat naah, cunghet khue ni ka tawnh; toe vaihi loe abu hnetto ah ka oh boeh.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
Kam ya ih ban, kam ya Esau ih ban thung hoi nang pahlong hanah, lawk kang thuih; anih loe kaimah hoi ka zu, ka caanawk hum hanah angzo tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh.
12 and You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.”
Toe nangmah ni kai khaeah, Nang hae kang lensak moe, kroek laek ai ah kaom, tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto, na caanawk kang pungsak han, tiah nang thuih, tiah lawk a thuih.
13 And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
Anih loe aqum puek to ahmuen ah iih; a tawnh ih hmuennawk thung hoiah amya Esau to tangqum paek hanah,
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
maeh amno cumvai hnetto, maeh tae pumphaeto, tuu tala cumvai hnetto, tuu tae pumphaeto,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
kaengkuu hrang amno qui thumto hoi a caanawk, maitaw tala qui palito hoi maitaw tae hato, laa hrang tala pumphaeto hoi a caa hato a qoih.
16 and he gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between drove and drove.”
To moinawk to a tamnanawk ban ah paek moe, abu tapraek pacoengah, Ka hmaa ah caeh oh, abu maeto hoi maeto salak kangthla ah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
17 And he commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
Nihcae thungah hmaloe koeh caeh kami khaeah, Kam ya Esau mah nang to hnuk naah, nang loe mi aa? Naa ah maw na caeh han? Na hmaa ih moinawk loe mi ih aa? tiah na dueng nahaeloe,
18 Then you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [is] behind us.”
to moinawk loe na tamna Jakob ih ni; ka angraeng Esau paek han ih tangqum ni, khenah, anih loe hnukah angzoh, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa.
19 And he commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding him,
To tiah anih hnukah angzo abu hnetto hoi abu thumto kaminawk khaeah doeh, Esau na hnuk o nahaeloe, to tiah thui oh, tiah lok a paek.
20 and you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
To pacoengah na tamna loe kaicae hnukah angzoh, tiah thui oh, tiah a naa. Hmaloe koek caeh kami mah paek ih tangqumnawk hoiah mikhmai ka sak han; to tiah nahaeloe anih hoi kang qum naah na talawk pae khoe doeh om tih, tiah a poek.
21 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
To pongah Jakob ih tangqumnawk to hmaloe ah caeh o haih; toe to na aqum ah, anih loe kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah ni a oh.
22 And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of Jabbok;
To na aqum ah Jakob loe angthawk moe, a zu hnik, a tamna nongpata hnik hoi a caa hatlaito caeh haih moe, Jabbok vapui ih tui amdaehaih ahmuen ah angkaat haih.
23 and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
Nihcae vapui zaeh ah thak pacoengah, a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh a thaksak boih.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
To pongah Jakob loe angmabueng oh sut; to naah anih loe kami maeto hoiah khodai ai karoek to angpanh.
25 and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with Him;
To kami mah anih to pazawk mak ai, tiah panoek naah, Jakob ih phaih to boh pae tuek; to tiah angpan hoi li naah Jakob ih phaih huh amkhraeng pae ving.
26 and He says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed me.”
To kami mah, Na prawt lai ah, khodai tom boeh, tiah a naa. Toe Jakob mah, Tahamhoihaih nang paek ai nahaeloe, kang prawt mak ai, tiah a naa.
27 And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
To kami mah, Na hmin loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Jakob, tiah a naa.
28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
To naah to kami mah, Nang loe Sithaw hoi anih ih kaminawk hoiah nang panh moe, na pazawk boeh pongah, na hmin to Jakob, tiah kawk mak ai boeh; Israel, tiah ni kawk tih boeh, tiah a naa.
29 And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.
Jakob mah, Na hmin loe mi aa? Tahmenhaih hoiah na thui ah, tiah a naa. Toe anih mah, Tih hanah ka hmin nang dueng loe? tiah a naa. To pacoengah anih mah to ahmuen ah Jakob hanah tahamhoihaih paek.
30 And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
Jakob mah mikhmai kangtong ah Sithaw to ka hnuk boeh, toe anih mah ka hinghaih ang pathlung, tiah a poek pongah, to ahmuen to Jakob mah Peniel, tiah ahmin sak.
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Penuel to poeng pacoeng loe khodai boeh; to naah Jakob loe khok kangbai baktiah lam caeh.
32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
Anih mah Jakob ih phaih thaqui to atumh pae tuek pongah, vaihni ni khoek to Israel caanawk mah phaih thaqui taeng ih angan to caa o ai.
