Genesis 32
1 As Jacob and his family continued traveling, some angels, whom God sent, met him.
Ya: igobe da logoga ahoanoba, a:igele dunu ilia da ema doaga: i.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s army camp!” So he named that place Mahanaim, [which means ‘two camps’].
Amo ba: beba: le e amane sia: i, “Amo sogebi da Gode Ea Aligibi Sogebi.” Amaiba: le, e da amo sogebi dio asuli amo Ma: ihana: ime.
3 Jacob told some of the men to go ahead of him to his older brother Esau, who was living in Seir, the land where the descendants of Edom lived.
Ya: igobe da sia: adole iasu dunu, ili da e bisimusa: , Iso amo gousa: musa: asunasi. Iso da Idome sogega esalu.
4 He told them, “This is what I want you to say to Esau: 'I, Jacob, want to be your servant and I want you to be my master. I have been living with our uncle Laban, and I have stayed there until now.
Ya: igobe da sia: adole iasu dunu ilima amane olelei, “Isoma amane sia: ma, ‘Na, Ya: igobe, dia nabasu hawa: hamosu dunu da na hina Isoma sia: iaha. Na da La: iba: nema ouesalu, hedolo hame buhagi be wali buhagisa.
5 I now own many cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and male and female slaves. Now I am sending this message to you, sir, hoping that you will (be friendly toward me/treat me kindly) when I arrive.’ “
Na da bulamagau, dougi, sibi, goudi, amola udigili hawa: hamosu dunu gagui gala. Na da di hahawane ba: ma: ne dima sia: adole iaha.’”
6 The messengers went and gave that message to Esau. When they returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your older brother Esau. Now he is coming to you, and 400 men are coming with him.”
Sia: adole iasu dunu da Ya: igobema bu misini, amane sia: i, “Ninia da dia ola Iso ema doaga: i. E da wali dima doaga: musa: , logoga ahoanebe. E da dunu 400 agoane oule maha.”
7 Jacob was very afraid and worried. So he divided the people who were with him into two groups. He also divided the sheep and goats, the cattle, and the camels, into two groups.
Ya: igobe da beda: i bagade amola da: i dioi. Ema misi dunu, sibi, goudi, bulamagau, amola ga: mele, e da afafane gilisisu aduna hamoi.
8 He was thinking, “If Esau and his men come and attack us, perhaps one of the groups will be left and will be able to escape.”
E amane dawa: i, “Iso da na bisili gilisisu amoga doagala: ma: ne masea, - amabela: ? - na eno gilisisu da se mae nabawane hobeama: bela: ?”
9 Then Jacob prayed, “O Yahweh God, whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and my father Isaac worships, you said to me, ‘Go back to your own land and to your relatives, and I will (cause good things happen to/do good things for) you.’
Amalalu Ya: igobe da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Na aowa A: ibalaha: me amola na ada Aisage, amo elea Gode! Na sia: nabima! Hina Gode, Di da nama na soge amola na fi dunu amoga buhagima: ne sia: noba, Di da na noga: le fidima: ne sia: i.
10 I am not worthy for you to have been so kind and faithful to me in so many ways, your servant. I had only this walking stick with me when I crossed the Jordan [River on my way to Haran], but now I am so wealthy that there are two large groups of my family and possessions.
Na hou da wadela: i, be Di da nama asigi hou noga: idafa olelei. Na da dagulu fawane gaguli, Yodane hano degei, be wali na da buhagili, amo gilisisu aduna gaguiwane bu maha.
11 So now I pray that you will rescue me from [MTY] my [older] brother Esau, because I am afraid that he and his men will come and attack and kill me and the children and their mothers.
Gode! Dia na gaga: ma! Na da na ola Isoba: le bagade beda: i galebe. E da ninima doagala: sa: besa: le amola nini huluane amola uda amola mano wadela: sa: besa: le na da bagade beda: i.
12 But do not forget that you have said, ‘I will certainly enable you to prosper, and I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, which are so many that no one can count them.’”
Di da musa: na logo hahamoma: ne sia: i. Amola nama mano idimu hamedei amo sa: i hano wayabo bagade bega: amo idi defele amo imunu sia: i. Amo mae gogolema.”
13 Jacob slept there that night. The next morning he selected some animals to give to his brother Esau.
Amo gasi afae amo sogebi esalu, Ya: igobe da ea lai gebo fi mogili, hahawane udigili iasu Isoma imunusa: dawa: i. E da goudi aseme 200, goudi gawali 20, sibi aseme 200, sibi gawali 20, ga: mele aseme dodo maga: me gala 30, amola ilia mano, bulamagau aseme 40, bulamagau gawali 10, dougi aseme 20 amola gawali 10, amo huluane Isoma imunusa: afafai.
14 He selected 200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,
15 30 female camels and their offspring, 40 cows and ten bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.
16 He divided them into small herds, and put each herd into the care of one of his servants. He said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, one group at a time, and keep some space between each herd.”
E da gilisisu afae afae hamone, amo afae afaega hawa: hamosu dunu afae ouligima: ne sia: i. E da amane sia: i, “Nama bisili masa. Gilisisu afae asili, dibi yolesima. Amalalu, gilisisu eno amola eno agoaiwane masa.
17 He said to the servant who was going with the first group, “When my brother Esau meets you, and he asks you, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?’
E da bisili ahoasu hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Na ola Iso da dima doaga: sea, e da dima, ‘Dia hina da nowala: ? Di da habi ahoa? Lai gebo fi di da amoga fa: no bobogesa. Amo da nowa eala: ?’ amane adole ba: sea,
18 tell him, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. He has sent them to you as a gift, sir. And he is coming behind us.’”
di agoane adole ima, ‘Amo huluane da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Ya: igobe amo ea: Amo huluane e da ea hina Isoma iaha. Ya: igobe hisu da fa: no maha.’”
19 He also said the same thing to the servants who were taking care of the second and third groups, and to the other herdsmen. He said to them, “When you meet Esau, I want you to say to him the same thing that I told the first servant.
Ya: igobe da amo sia: defele gilisisu ouligisu dunu ageyadu amola gilisisu ouligisu dunu osoda amola gilisisu ouligisu huluane ilima amo defele olelei. E amane sia: i, “Dilia Isoma amane sia: ma,
20 And be sure to say ‘Jacob, who wants to serve you, is coming behind us.’” Jacob told them to say that because he was thinking, “Perhaps these gifts that I am sending ahead of me will cause him to (act peacefully toward/stop being angry with) me. Then later, when I see him, perhaps he will be kind to me.”
‘Defea! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Ya: igobe da ninima gadenene fa: no maha.’” Ya: igobe da agoane dawa: lalu, “Amabela: ? Na da hahawane udigili iasu ema iasea, e da olofosu ba: ma: bela: ? Amasea, e da na gogolema: ne olofoma: bela: ?”
21 So the men taking the gifts [PRS] went ahead, but Jacob himself stayed in the camp that night.
E da amo hahawane udigili iasu bisili asunasi. Amalalu e da amo sogebi abula diasuga esalu.
22 Some time during that night, Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven sons and his daughter, and he sent them across the ford at the Jabbok River.
Amo gasia, Ya: igobe da wa: legadole, ea uda aduna, ea gidisedagi uda aduna, ea dunu mano gidayale gala, amo huluane Ya: boge Hano degemusa: oule asi.
23 After he had done that, he sent other slaves, carrying all his possessions, across the river.
E da amo huluane asunasili, ea liligi huluane asunasi.
24 So Jacob was left there alone. But a man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
Be hisu da hame asi. Amalalu, dunu afae da ema misini ema ouga: ne ludui. Ludulalu, gasia huluane mae yolesili, ludui.
25 When the man realized that he was not winning against Jacob, he struck Jacob’s hip and caused the thigh bone to pull away from the hip socket.
Ya: igobe da gasa bagadewane ludubiba: le, amo dunu da ema osa: le heda: mu hamedeiwane ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Ya: igobe ea masele digili ba: beba: le, Ya: igobe ea masele momoge dagai dagoi ba: i.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, because it will soon be daylight.” [Then Jacob realized who he was really wrestling with]. So he replied, “No, if you will not bless me, I will not let you go!”
Amalalu, amo dunu da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Nama yolesima! Eso da heda: i dagoi.” Be Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Di da nama hahawane dogolegele fidimusa: sia: beba: le fawane, na da yolesimu.”
27 The man said to him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Jacob.”
Dunu da Ya: igobema amane adole ba: i, “Dia dio da nowala: ?” E bu adole i, “Ya: igobe!”
28 The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. Your name will be Israel, [which means ‘he struggles with God’, ] because you have struggled with God and with people, and you have won.”
Amalalu amo dunu da amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia dio da wali Ya: igobe hame. Dia dio da wali Isala: ili. Bai di da Godema amola osobo bagade dunuma ouga: ne ludulalu, hasali dagoi.”
29 Jacob said, “Now, please tell me your name!” The man replied, “(Why do you ask me what my name is?/You should not have to ask me what my name is!)” [RHQ] But he blessed Jacob there.
Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Dia dio nama adoma!” Be E bu adole i, “Dia da abuliba: le Na dio adole ba: sala: ?” Amalalu, e da amogai Ya: igobema hahawane dogolegele lama: ne sia: i.
30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, [which means ‘God’s face’, ] saying “I looked directly at God, but I did not die because of doing that.”
Amaiba: le, Ya: igobe da amo sogebiga Biniele dio asuli. E amane sia: i, “Bai na da Gode Ea odagi ba: i dagoi, be na hame bogoi.”
31 The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of what had happened to his hip.
E da Biniele baligili, eso da heda: i dagoi ba: i. Ea masele momoge dagaiba: le, e da gasuga: igili ahoanu.
32 The muscle on his hip joint had been injured. So to this present time, because of what happened to Jacob, the Israeli people do not eat the muscle/tendon that is attached to the socket of the hips of animals.
Amaiba: le, musa: amola wali Isala: ili dunu da masele momoge huluane hame naha. Bai Biniele sogega musa: Gode da Ya: igobe (Isala: ili) amo ea masele momoge dagai. (Isala: ili dawa: loma: ne da ‘E da Godema ludusa.”)
