< Genesis 32 >

1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Nanonjohy i lia’ey t’Iakòbe le nifanalaka ama’e o anjelin’ Añahareo;
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
aa ie niisa’ Iakòbe le nanao ty hoe, Toben’Añahare itoy, le natao’e ty hoe Makanaime i toetse zay.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
Nirahe’ Iakòbe ty hiaolo aze mb’ amy Esave rahalahi’e mb’an-tane Seira, tane’ i Edome añe,
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.
le nafanto’e ami’ty hoe, Endeso mb’amy talèko Esa­ve añe o entañe zao, Hoe ty enta’ Iakòbe mpi­toro’o, Nañialo amy Labàne ao iraho, le nitambatse añe ampara’ henane;
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.'"
Amañ’ añombe naho borìke, mpirai-lia naho ondevo ampela naho lahy; le nampihitrifeko mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo ty saontsy hahatreavako fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o.
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."
Nibalike mb’am’Iakòbe i ìrake rey nitalily ty hoe, Nivo­trak’ amy Esave rahalahi’o zahay, le mb’etoan-dre hifana­laka ama’o rekets’ondaty efa-jato.
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;
Nirevendreveñe naho nangebahebak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe; le zinara’e ho lia roe ze hene ondaty ama’eo naho o mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo vaho o rame­vao
8 and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
fa hoe re, Aa naho pok’ami’ty lia-raike t’i Esave vaho horidañe’e, le hifiora’ i sehanga’ey.
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,'
Le hoe t’Iakòbe, O ry Andria­nañahare’ i Avrahame raeko naho Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke raeko, ry Iehovà nanao tamako ty hoe, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’o mb’amo longo’oo mb’eo vaho hanoako soa.
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.
Tsy mañeva ahiko ty piliti’e amo fiferenaiña’oo naho amo figahiña’o amo mpitoro’oo, kanao reketse kobaiñe Iraho te nits­a­ke ty Iordane toy vaho fa aman-dia’e roe henaneo.
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.
Mihalaly ama’o, hahao am-pitàn-drahalahiko, am-pità’ i Esa­ve, fa ihembañako, hera homb’eto re handafa ahy naho rakemba reketse keleiañe.
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.'"
Ihe fa nitsara ty hoe, Toe hañasoa azo iraho, vaho hampiraeko amo fasen-driakeo o tarira’oo, ze tsy mete iaheñe ty amo fifamorohota’eo.
13 So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
Aa le nitobe eo re amy haleñey, vaho nilivae’e amo raha rinambem-pità’eo ty ho ravoravo amy Esave zoke’e:
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
ose-vave roanjato, naho ose­lahy roa-polo, añondri-vave roanjato naho añondri-lahy roapolo,
15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
rameva minono rekets’ ana’e telopolo, añombe-vave efapolo, añombe-lahy folo, borìke vave roapolo, vaho ana-borìke folo.
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."
Natolo’e an-taña’ o mpitoro’eo irezay, sindre lia’e, vaho hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Iaolò Iraho naho adaradiso ami’ty lia-raike ty lia-raike.
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?'
Le hoe re amy aoloy, Ie mifanampe ama’o t’i Esave zokeko, manao ty hoe, Ama’ia irehe? Homb’aia v’iheo? vaho ho ama’ ia o aolo’oo?
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.'"
le hoe ty hatoi’o: A i Iakòbe mpitoro’oy, ravoravo nampisangitrife’e amy Esave talekoy; Indroy ie! manonjohy anay.
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.
Izay ty nafanto’e amy faharoey naho amy fahateloy, vaho amo nanonjohy i mpirai-lia rey iabio, ami’ty hoe: Ty hoe zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Esave te mizo aze
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."
le tovoño ty hoe, Ingo, manonjohy anay t’Iakòbe mpitoro’o; ty amy asa’e ty hoe, Hampanintsiñeko amo ravoravo miaolo ahio ty haviñera’e; ie añe le ho treako ty lahara’e, ke ho no’e.
21 So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Aa le nitsake aolo’ aze i banabana’ey, ie nialeñe an-kialo atoy.
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.
Nitroatse amy haleñey re, ninday i vali’e roe rey naho i mpitoro’e roe rey, vaho i ana-dahy folo-raik’ amby rey nitsake ami’ty fitsaha’ Iabòke.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
Nasese’e mb’eo naho nampitsahe’e i torahañey vaho nampitsahe’e ze tama’e.
24 Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
Aa le nidoke ho vahiny t’Iakòbe vaho niga­rabiñe ama’e ty lahilahy ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray.
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.
Ie nioni’e te tsy hahagiok’ aze, le pi­nao’e ty fikatsoha’ ty moja’e, vaho nikatsoke ty moja’ Iakòbe amy fifan­dra­paha’ey.
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."
Le hoe re, Avotsoro fa hanjirike i àndroy. Fe hoe re, Tsy havo­tsoko naho tsy itata’o hey.
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
Aa le nanoa’e ty hoe, Ia ty añara’o? Iakòbe, hoe re.
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."
Le hoe re, Tsy hatao Iakòbe ka ty tahi­na’o, fa Israele, amy t’ie nifanehak’ aman’ Andrianañahare naho am’ondatio vaho nahatañe.
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.
Hoe ty nañontanea’ Iakòbe, Ehe, itsarao ty tahina’o. Fa hoe re, Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako? Le nitata’e eo.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
Aa le natao’ Iakòbe ty hoe Penoele i toetsey, ami’ty hoe, Nifañatre-daharañe aman’ Añahare iraho, fe narova’e ty fiaiko.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
Nanjirike i àndroy t’ie nitsake e Penoele ty amy moja’ey.
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.
Aa le tsy fikamà’ o nte-Israeleo pake henane ty oza’ i moja mipitek’ am-pikatsohañey, amy te nipaohe’e ty oza’ i fikatsoha’ i moja’ Iakòbey ami’ty lahin-oza’ i tohakeiy.
