Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Ary Jakoba nizotra tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany, dia nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra nitsena azy.
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Ary hoy Jakoba, raha nahita ireo: Tobin’ Andriamanitra ity; ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe Mahanaima.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Ary nandefa iraka Jakoba hialoha azy ho any amin’ i Esao rahalahiny, ho any Seïra, tanin’ i Edoma.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau; Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:
Ary nanome teny azy izy ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Esao tompoko: Izao no tenin’ i Jakoba mpanomponao: Efa nivahiny tany amin’ i Labana aho ka nitoetra tany mandraka ankehitriny;
5 and I have oxen, and asses [and] flocks, and menservants ard maidservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
ary manana omby sy boriky sy ondry aman’ osy ary andevolahy aho; dia efa mba naniraka hanambara aminao tompokolahy ihany aho mba hahitako fitia eo imasonao.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Dia niverina tany amin’ i Jakoba ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Tafahaona tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao izahay, ary izy koa dia avy hitsena anao mitondra olona efa-jato lahy.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
Dia natahotra indrindra Jakoba ka poritra dia poritra; dia nozarainy roa toko ny olona izay nomba azy mbamin’ ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ary ny rameva;
8 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.
fa hoy izy: Raha tafahaona amin’ ny antokony anankiray Esao ka mamely azy, dia handositra kosa ny antokony anankiray.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:
Ary hoy Jakoba: E Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama raiko, sady Andriamanitr’ Isaka raiko, dia Jehovah Izay efa nanao tamiko hoe: Modia any amin’ ny taninao sy any amin’ ny havanao dia hanao soa aminao Aho;
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies.
tsy mendrika ho nahazo na kely akory aza aho tamin’ ny famindram-po rehetra sy ny fahamarinana rehetra, izay nataonao tamiko mpanomponao; fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona afa-tsy ny tehiko ihany aho fony nita ity Jordana ity; nefa ankehitriny efa tonga toby roa aho.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.
O vonjeo aho amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiko, dia amin’ ny tànan’ i Esao; fa matahotra azy aho, fandrao avy mamely ahy mbamin’ ny vadiko aman-janako izy.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Fa Hianao efa nanao hoe: Hanisy soa anao tokoa Aho, ka hataoko maro ny taranakao ho tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, izay tsy azo isaina noho ny hamaroany.
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother;
Dia nitoetra teo izy tamin’ iny alina iny; ary naka tamin’ izay teo an-tànany izy mba hampanaterina ho an’ i Esao rahalahiny,
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
dia osivavy roan-jato sy osilahy roa-polo, ondrivavy roan-jato sy ondrilahy roa-polo
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
ary rameva telo-polo ampianahany, vantotr’ ombivavy efa-polo sy vantotr’ ombilahy folo, borikivavy roa-polo ary zana-boriky folo.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
Dia natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony ireny, mitokantokana isan-toko; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Mandehana eo alohako, ary asio elanelany eo amin’ ny isan-toko.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
Dia nanome teny ny voalohany izy ka nanao hoe: Raha mifanena aminao Esao rahalahiko ka manontany anao hoe: An’ iza ianao? ary hankaiza moa? ary an’ iza ireo alohanao?
18 then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us.
dia lazaonao hoe: An’ i Jakoba mpanomponao ireo, dia zavatra nampanaterina ho an’ itompokolahy Esao; ary indro koa izy ao aorianay ao.
19 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him;
Ary nanome teny ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo koa izy, ary izay rehetra nandeha nanaraka ny isan-toko, ka nanao hoe: Araka izany teny izany no lazaonareo amin’ i Esao, raha hitanareo izy.
20 and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me.
Ary lazao hoe koa: Indro, Jakoba mpanomponao ao aorianay ao. Fa hoy izy: Hampionona ny hatezerany aho amin’ ireo zavatra nampialohaviko ireo, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao hahita ny tavany aho; angamba hahazo fitia aminy aho.
21 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Ary dia lasa nialoha azy ireny zavatra nampanateriny ireny; fa izy mbola nitoetra teo amin’ ny toby ihany tamin’ iny alina iny.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of Jabbok.
Dia nitsangana tamin’ iny alina iny ihany izy ka nitondra ny vadiny roa vavy sy ny ankizivaviny roa ary ny zananilahy iraika ambin’ ny folo, dia nita tamin’ ny fitàna tao Jaboka izy.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that he had.
Ary naka azy ireo izy, dia nampita azy tamin’ ny renirano, ary nampita ny fananany koa izy.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Dia Jakoba irery no sisa nitoetra teo; ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nitolona taminy ambara-pahazavaratsin’ ny andro.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.
Ary rehefa hitany fa tsy naharesy azy izy, dia notendreny ny foto-peny; ka dia nivika ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba, raha mbola nitolona taminy Izy.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Ary hoy Izy: Avelao Aho handeha, fa efa mazavaratsy ny andro. Fa hoy kosa Jakoba: Tsy havelako handeha Hianao, raha tsy tahinao aho.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no anaranao? dia hoy izy: Jakoba.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Ary hoy indray Izy: Tsy hatao hoe Jakoba intsony ny anaranao, fa Isiraely; satria efa nitolona tamin’ Andriamanitra sy tamin’ ny olona ianao ka nahery.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Dia nanontany Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Masìna Hianao, lazao kely izay anaranao. Ary hoy Izy: Ahoana no anontanianao ny anarako? Dia nitahy azy teo Izy.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataon’ i Jakoba hoe Peniela; fa, hoy izy, efa nahita an’ Andriamanitra nifanatrika tamiko aho, nefa voavonjy ny aiko.
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
Dia niposaka taminy ny masoandro, raha niala teo Peniela izy, ary nitolitsika izy noho ny feny.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Izany no tsy ihinanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny ozatry ny atodiakanga mandraka androany; satria nanendry ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba teo amin’ ny ozatry ny atodiakanga Izy.
