< Genesis 32 >
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
At ipinagpatuloy ni Jacob ang kaniyang paglakad, at sinalubong siya ng mga anghel ng Dios.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
At sinabi ni Jacob nang makita niya sila, Ito'y hukbo ng Dios: at tinawag niya ang pangalan ng dakong yaon na Mahanaim.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
At si Jacob ay nagpasugo sa unahan niya kay Esau, na kaniyang kapatid sa lupain ng Seir, na parang ng Edom.
4 He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
At inutusan niya sila, na sinasabi, Ganito ninyo sabihin sa aking panginoong kay Esau, Ganito ang sabi ng iyong lingkod na si Jacob, Dumoon ako kay Laban at ako'y natira roon hanggang ngayon.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.'"
At mayroon akong mga baka, at mga asno, at mga kawan, at mga aliping lalake at babae: at ako'y nagpasugo upang magbigay alam sa aking panginoon, upang makasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him."
At ang mga sugo ay nagsipagbalik kay Jacob, na nagsipagsabi, Dumating kami sa iyong kapatid na kay Esau, at siya rin naman ay sumasalubong sa iyo, at apat na raang tao ang kasama niya.
7 Then Jacob was very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
Nang magkagayo'y natakot na mainam si Jacob at nahapis at kaniyang binahagi ang bayang kasama niya, at ang mga kawan, at ang mga bakahan, at ang mga kamelyo ng dalawang pulutong.
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
At kaniyang sinabi, Kung dumating si Esau sa isang pulutong, at kaniyang saktan, ang pulutong ngang natitira ay tatanan.
9 Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'
At sinabi ni Jacob, Oh Dios ng aking amang si Abraham, at Dios ng aking amang si Isaac, Oh Panginoon, na nagsabi sa akin, Magbalik ka sa iyong lupain at sa iyong kamaganakan, at gagawan kita ng magaling:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
Hindi ako marapat sa kababababaan ng lahat ng kaawaan, at ng buong katotohanan na iyong ipinakita sa iyong lingkod: sapagka't dala ko ang aking tungkod, na dinaanan ko ang Jordang ito; at ngayo'y naging dalawang pulutong ako.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
Iligtas mo ako, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, sa kamay ng aking kapatid, sa kamay ni Esau; sapagka't ako'y natatakot sa kaniya, baka siya'y dumating at ako'y saktan niya, ang ina pati ng mga anak.
12 You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
At ikaw ang nagsabi, Tunay na ikaw ay gagawan ko ng magaling, at gagawin ko ang iyong binhi na parang buhangin sa dagat, na hindi mabibilang dahil sa karamihan.
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
At siya'y nagparaan doon ng gabing yaon; at kumuha ng mayroon siya na ipagkakaloob kay Esau na kaniyang kapatid;
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Dalawang daang kambing na babae, at dalawang pung lalaking kambing; dalawang daang tupang babae, at dalawang pung tupang lalake,
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
Tatlong pung kamelyong inahin na pati ng kanilang mga anak; apat na pung baka at sangpung toro, dalawang pung asna at sangpung anak ng mga yaon.
16 He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
At ipinagbibigay sa kamay ng kaniyang mga bataan, bawa't kawan ay bukod; at sinabi sa kaniyang mga bataan, Lumagpas kayo sa unahan ko, at iiwanan ninyo ng isang pagitan ang bawa't kawan.
17 He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?'
At iniutos sa una, na sinasabi, Pagka ikaw ay nasumpungan ni Esau na aking kapatid, at ikaw ay tinanong na sinasabi, Kanino ka? at saan ka paroroon? at kanino itong nangasa unahan mo.
18 Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is behind us.'"
Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin mo, Sa iyong lingkod na kay Jacob; isang kaloob nga, na padala sa aking panginoong kay Esau: at, narito, siya'y nasa hulihan din naman namin.
19 He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you find him.
At iniutos din sa ikalawa, at sa ikatlo, at sa lahat ng sumusunod sa mga kawan, na sinasabi, Sa ganitong paraan sasalitain ninyo kay Esau, pagkasumpong ninyo sa kaniya;
20 You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
At sasabihin ninyo, Saka, narito, ang iyong lingkod na si Jacob, ay nasa hulihan namin, sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Paglulubagin ko ang kaniyang galit sa pamamagitan ng kaloob na sumasaunahan ko, at pagkatapos ay makikita ko ang kaniyang mukha; marahil ay tatanggapin niya ako.
21 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Gayon isinaunahan niya ang mga kaloob; at siya'y natira ng gabing yaon sa pulutong.
22 He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
At siya'y bumangon ng gabing yaon, at isinama niya ang kaniyang dalawang asawa, at ang kaniyang dalawang alilang babae, at ang kaniyang labing isang anak at tumawid sa tawiran ng Jaboc.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
At sila'y kaniyang isinama at itinawid sa batis, at kaniyang itinawid ang kaniyang tinatangkilik.
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
At naiwang magisa si Jacob: at nakipagbuno ang isang lalake sa kaniya, hanggang sa magbukang liwayway.
25 When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
At nang makita nitong siya'y hindi manaig sa kaniya ay hinipo ang kasukasuan ng hita niya; at ang kasukasuan ni Jacob ay sinaktan samantalang nakikipagbuno sa kaniya.
26 Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
At sinabi, Bitawan mo ako, sapagka't nagbubukang liwayway na. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi kita bibitawan hanggang hindi mo ako mabasbasan.
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ano ang pangalan mo? At kaniyang sinabi, Jacob.
28 Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed."
At sinabi niya, Hindi na tatawaging Jacob ang iyong pangalan, kundi Israel; sapagka't ikaw ay nakipagpunyagi sa Dios at sa mga tao, at ikaw ay nanaig.
29 Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
At siya'y tinanong ni Jacob, at sinabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyong sabihin mo sa akin ang iyong pangalan. At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit nagtatanong ka ng aking pangalan? At siya'y binasbasan doon.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
At tinawag ni Jacob ang pangalan ng dakong yaon na Peniel; sapagka't aniya'y nakita ko ang Dios ng mukhaan, at naligtas ang aking buhay.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
At sinikatan siya ng araw ng siya'y nagdadaan sa Penuel; at siya'y napipilay sa hita niya.
32 Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
Kaya't hindi kumakain ang mga anak ni Israel ng litid ng balakang na nasa kasukasuan ng hita, hanggang ngayon: sapagka't hinipo ng taong yaon ang kasukasuan ng hita ni Jacob, sa litid ng pigi.
