Genesis 32
1 As Jacob and his family continued traveling, some angels, whom God sent, met him.
Humayo na rin si Jacob, at sinalubong siya ng mga anghel ng Diyos.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s army camp!” So he named that place Mahanaim, [which means ‘two camps’].
Nang makita sila ni Jacob, sinabi niya, “Ito ang kampo ng Diyos,” kaya tinawag niya ang lugar na iyon na Mahanaim.
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.
Nagpadala si Jacob ng mga mensahero para sa kanyang kapatid na si Esau, sa lupain ng Seir, sa rehiyon ng Edom.
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.
Inutusan niya sila at sinabing, “Ito ang sasabihin ninyo sa aking panginoon na si Esau: “Ito ang sinasabi ng iyong alipin na si Jacob: 'Naninirahan ako kapiling ni Laban hanggang ngayon.
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.’ “
Mayroon akong mga baka, mga asno, at mga kawan, babae at lalaking mga alipin. Nagpadala ako para sabihin ito sa aking panginoon, upang makasumpong ako ng pabor sa iyong paningin.”'
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.”
Bumalik ang mga mensahero kay Jacob at sinabi, “Pumunta kami sa iyong kapatid na si Esau. Paparito siya upang makipagkita sa iyo at may kasama siyang apat na daang tao.”
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.
Labis na natakot at nababahala si Jacob. Kaya hinati niya ang mga taong kasama sa dalawang kampo pati ang mga kawan, mga pangkat ng mga hayop at mga kamelyo.
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.”
Sinabi niya, “Kapag sinalakay ni Esau ang isang kampo, ang naiwang kampo ay makakatakas.”
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.’
Sinabi ni Jacob, “Diyos ng aking amang si Abraham, Diyos ng aking amang si Isaac, Yahweh, na siyang nagsabi sa akin, 'Bumalik ka sa iyong bansa at sa iyong mga kamag-anak at pasasaganain kita,'
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.
Hindi ako karapat-dapat sa lahat ng iyong mga gawa ng tipan ng katapatan at lahat ng pagtitiwalang ginawa mo para sa iyong lingkod. Dahil tungkod ko lamang ang dala ko nang tumawid dito sa Jordan, at ngayon naging dalawang kampo ako.
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.
Pakiusap iligtas mo ako sa kamay ng aking kapatid, sa kamay ni Esau, sapagkat natatakot ako sa kanya, na darating siya at sasalakayin ako at mga ina na kasama ang kanilang mga anak.
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.’”
Ngunit sinabi mo, “Tiyak na gagawin kitang masagana. Gagawin ko ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan na parang buhangin ng dagat, na hindi kayang bilangin dahil sa kanilang dami.”''
13 Jacob slept there that night. The next morning he selected some animals to give to his brother Esau.
Nanatili doon si Jacob sa gabing iyon. Kumuha siya ng ilan sa kung anong mayroon siya bilang regalo kay Esau, na kanyang kapatid:
14 He selected 200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,
dalawandaang babaeng kambing at dalawampung lalaking kambing, dalawandaang babaeng tupa at dalawampung lalaking tupa,
15 30 female camels and their offspring, 40 cows and ten bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.
tatlumpung gatasang kamelyo at kanilang mga bisiro, apatnapung baka at sampung toro, dalawampung babaeng asno at sampung lalaking asno.
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.”
Ang mga ito ay ipinadala niya sa kanyang mga lingkod, bawat kawan ayon sa sarili nito. Sinabi niya sa kanyang mga lingkod, “Mauna kayo sa akin at maglagay ng puwang sa paggitan ng bawat mga kawan.”
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?’
Inutusan niya ang unang lingkod, na nagsasabing, “Kapag salubungin kayo ng aking kapatid at tanungin kayo, na nagsasabing, 'Kanino kayo nabibilang? Saan kayo pupunta? At kanino naman itong mga hayop sa harap ninyo?'
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.’”
Sa gayon sasabihin mong, 'Sila ay kay Jacob na iyong lingkod. Sila ay regalong pinadala sa aking among si Esau. At tingnan ninyo, siya ay paparating din kasunod namin.”'
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.
Nagbigay din si Jacob ng tagubilin sa pangalawang pangkat, sa pangatlo, at sa lahat ng taong nakasunod sa kawan. Sinabi niya, “Ganun din ang sasabihin ninyo kay Esau kapag nakasalubong ninyo siya.
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.”
Sasabihin din ninyo, 'Ang iyong lingkod na si Jacob ay darating kasunod namin.''' Pagkat naisip niya, “Mapapalubag ko siya sa mga regalong pinapadala kong nauna sa akin. Sa gayon maya-maya, kapag nagkita kami, marahil tatanggapin niya ako.”
21 So the men taking the gifts [PRS] went ahead, but Jacob himself stayed in the camp that night.
Kaya nauna sa kanya ang mga regalo. Siya mismo ay nanatili sa kampo nang gabing iyon.
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.
Bumangon si Jacob sa kalagitnaan ng gabi, at dinala ang kanyang dalawang asawa, kanyang dalawang babaeng alipin, at ang kanyang labing isang mga anak. Pinadala niya sila sa kabila ng sapa ng Jabbok.
23 After he had done that, he sent other slaves, carrying all his possessions, across the river.
Sa ganitong paraan pinadala niya sila sa kabila ng ilog kasama ang lahat ng kanyang mga ari-arian.
24 So Jacob was left there alone. But a man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
Mag-isang naiwan si Jacob, at may taong nakipagbuno sa kanya hanggang madaling araw.
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.
Nang makita ng tao na hindi niya siya kayang talunin, hinampas niya ang balakang ni Jacob. Napilayan ang balakang ni Jacob sa pakikipagbuno niya sa kanya.
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!”
Sinabi ng tao, “Pahintulutan mo akong umalis, pagkat mag-uumaga na.” Sabi ni Jacob, “Hindi kita pahihintulutang umalis maliban kung pagpalain mo ako.”
27 The man said to him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Jacob.”
Sinabi ng tao sa kanya, “Ano ang pangalan mo?” Sinabi ni Jacob, “Jacob.”
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.”
Sinabi ng tao, “Ang pangalan mo ay hindi na tatawaging Jacob, sa halip, Israel na. Sapagkat nakipaglaban ka sa Diyos at sa tao at nanaig ka.”
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.
Tinanong siya ni Jacob, “Pakiusap sabihin mo sa akin ang iyong pangalan.” Sinabi nito, “Bakit mo tinatanong ang aking pangalan?” Pagkatapos siya ay kanyang pinagpala.
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.”
Tinawag ni Jacob ang lugar na iyon na Peniel sapagkat ang sabi niya, “Nakita ko ang mukha ng Diyos nang harapan, at iniligtas ang buhay ko.”
31 The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of what had happened to his hip.
Sinikatan ng araw si Jacob habang dumadaan siya sa Peniel. Paika-ika siya dahil sa kanyang balakang.
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.
Kaya hanggang ngayon ang bayan ng Israel ay hindi kumakain ng mga litid ng balakang na nasa dugtong ng balakang, dahil ang taong pumilay sa mga litid ng balakang na nasa habang inaalis sa puwesto ang balakang ni Jacob.
