< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
Jakop teh a cei teh, Cathut e kalvantaminaw ni a dawn.
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.”
Jakop ni hmu toteh hete Cathut roenae hmuen doeh telah a titeh, hote hmuen teh Mahanaim telah min a phung.
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Jakop ni Edom ram e Seir ram dawk a hmau Esaw koevah a hmalah patounenaw a patoun.
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;
Ahnimouh koe lawk a thui. Ka bawipa Esaw koe hettelah na dei awh han. Na san Jakop ni hettelah ati, Laban koe imyin lah ka o teh atu totouh ka o.
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.”
Maitotan hoi, la hoi tunaw hoi, hmaenaw hoi sanpa sannunaw hah ka tawn. Hatdawkvah, na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahanlah ka bawipa koe dei pouh hanelah, taminaw ka patoun ati, telah atipouh.
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”;
Patounenaw hah Jakop koe a ban awh teh, na hmau Esaw koe ka pha awh. Tami 400 touh hoi nang na dawn hanelah ahni hai a kamthaw, telah a dei pouh awh.
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,
Hatdawkvah, Jakop ni a takipoung teh kângairu hoi ao. Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kalauknaw hah hu kahni touh lah koung a kapek.
8 and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
Jakop ni Esaw a kâhmo toteh, ahu buet touh e thet pawiteh a hu alouknaw teh ka yawngkhai thai han doeh, telah ati.
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:
Hottelah Jakop ni, oe apa Abraham Cathut, apa Isak Cathut, oe BAWIPA na ram hoi na imthungnaw koe ban nateh, kaimouh ka thet hane katetnaw,
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 san e lathueng vah lungmanae hoi yuemkamcunae pueng na kamcu sak e thung dawk hoi, kathoengpounge patenghai hmu hanelah ka kamcu hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jordan palang hah ka sonron hoi dueng ka raka teh atuteh a hu kahni touh ka pha toe.
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;
Pahren lahoi ka hmau Esaw e kut thung roeroe hoi na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui camonaw hoi kaimouh rekrek na saueng han doeh tie hah puenghoi ka tâsue.
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.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama ni, na pungdaw sak vaiteh, na ca catounnaw hah touk thai hoeh e talî dawk e sadi yit touh na pap sak han na tie hah, telah ati.
13 And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
Hate karum teh hawvah a roe awh. Hahoi a tawn e thung dawk hoi hmae manu 200, hmaetan 20,
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
Kalauk sanu kasu lahun e 30, a canaw khuehoi maito manu 40, maitotan 10,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
La manu 20, la a kum kanaw e 10, hetnaw hah a hmau Esaw koe poehno lah poe hanelah a pasoum.
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.”
Hotnaw teh a huhu lahoi aloukcalah a sannaw kut dawk a poe. Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka hmalah cet awh nateh, a louklouk lah rahak kaawm lahoi cet awh, ati.
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?
Hahoi lam kahrawikung koevah, ka hmau Esaw hoi na kâhmo toteh, apie taminaw maw, na maw na cei awh han, nangmae na hmalah kaawmnaw hah apinaw maw, telah na pacei awh pawiteh,
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.”
Na san Jakop e naw seng doeh. Ka bawipa poe hanelah poehno na patawn e naw doeh. Khenhaw! ama hai kaimae hnuklah ao, na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui.
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,
Apâhni e hoi apâthum e hoi saring kakhoumnaw pueng koe hai, Esaw na kâhmo torei teh, hot patetlah na dei awh han.
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”;
Hahoi khenhaw! na san Jakop teh kaimae hnukkhu lah ao na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hmalah ka cet e poehno ni a lungthin ahawi sak han. Hathnukkhu hoi a mei ka hmu han, telah pawiteh, a lungroum yawkaw han telah ati.
21 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
Hatdawkvah, poehno hah a hmalah a ceisak. Hatei, ama teh hote karum teh tamihunaw koe a roe.
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;
Karum vah a thaw teh a yu roi hoi a canaw hlaibun touh hah a ceikhai teh Jabbok palang hah a raka awh.
23 and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
Ahnimouh hah a ceikhai teh palang hah a raka awh. A tawn e naw pueng hai a ceikhai.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
Jakop amadueng ao nah tami buet touh hoi khodai totouh a kâthe roi.
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;
Ahni ni ka tâ mahoeh tie a panue toteh, Jakop e a sumbunghru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh. Hatdawkvah Jakop teh a khokkhem.
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.”
Ahni ni, na cetsak leih, bangkongtetpawiteh kho hai a dai toe telah ati. Hateiteh, ahni ni yawhawi na poe hoehpawiteh, na cetsak mahoeh telah ati.
27 And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
Ahni ni na min a pimaw telah a pacei navah, Jakop telah atipouh.
28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
Ahni ni na min Jakop teh Jakop tet mahoeh toe, Isarel ati awh han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut hoi tami hai na the teh na tâ toe, telah ati.
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.
Jakop ni pahren lahoi na min apimaw telah a pacei. Ahni ni bang kecu dawk maw ka min na pacei telah ati. Hawvah yawhawinae a poe.
30 And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
Haw e hmuen teh Jakop ni Peniel, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh minhmai kâhmo lahoi ka hmu teh ka hringnae hah a pâhlung telah ati.
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Hahoi Penuel hoi a tâco nah, kanî a tâco, Ahni teh a kamlang teh a phaihru kecu dawk a dongkhawt.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop e phai hru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh dawkvah, sahnin totouh Isarel catounnaw ni phai hru kâcunae koe e tharui hah cat boi awh hoeh.
