Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jakobho akaendawo nenzira yake, uye vatumwa vaMwari vakasangana naye.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Jakobho akati achivaona, akati, “Uyu ndiwo musasa waMwari!” Saka akatumidza nzvimbo iyo zita rokuti Mahanaimi.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Jakobho akatuma nhume mberi kwake kumukoma wake Esau munyika yeSeiri, iyo nyika yeEdhomu.
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.
Akavarayira akati, “Izvi ndizvo zvamunofanira kutaura kuna tenzi wangu Esau kuti: ‘Zvanzi nomuranda wenyu Jakobho, Ndakanga ndichigara naRabhani uye ndakagarako kusvikira zvino.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in your sight.’”
Ndine mombe nembongoro, makwai nembudzi, varandarume navarandakadzi. Zvino ndiri kutuma shoko iri kuna she wangu, kuti ndiwane nyasha pamberi penyu.’”
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
Nhume dzakati dzadzoka kuna Jakobho, dzakati kwaari, “Takaenda kumukoma wenyu Esau, uye ari kuuya zvino kuzosangana nemi, uye ana varume mazana mana.”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
Ipapo Jakobho akatya zvikuru uye akatambudzika, akaparadzanisa vanhu vaakanga anavo mumapoka maviri, uye makwai nemombe nengamerawo.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
Akafunga akati, “Kana Esau akasvika akaparadza rimwe boka, boka rasara ringapunyuka.”
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
Ipapo Jakobho akanyengetera akati, “Haiwa Mwari wababa vangu Abhurahama, Mwari wababa vangu Isaka, imi Jehovha makati kwandiri, ‘Dzokera kunyika yokwako nokuhama dzako, uye ndichaita kuti ubudirire,’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
ini handina kufanirwa nenyasha dzenyu dzose idzi uye nokutendeka kwamakaratidza muranda wenyu. Ndakanga ndichingova netsvimbo yangu bedzi pandakayambuka Jorodhani urwu, asi zvino ndava mapoka maviri.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
Ndinokumbira kuti mundiponese kubva muruoko rwomukoma wangu Esau, nokuti ndinotya kuti achasvika akandiuraya, uyewo madzimai aya navana vavo.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
Asi imi makati, ‘Zvirokwazvo ndichaita kuti ubudirire uye kuti zvizvarwa zvako zvive sejecha regungwa, risingagoni kuverengwa.’”
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
Akapedza usiku hwose ipapo, uye pane zvaakanga anazvo, akatsaurira mukoma wake Esau chipo chaiti:
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
mazana maviri enhunzvi dzemakwai namakumi maviri enhongo dzembudzi, mazana maviri amatunzvi amakwai namakondobwe makumi maviri,
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
ngamera hadzi, makumi matatu navana vadzo, mhou dzemombe makumi mana nehando gumi, mbongoro hadzi makumi maviri uye nehono gumi.
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
Akaita kuti zvichengetwe navaranda vake, boka rimwe nerimwe riri roga, uye akati kuvaranda vake, “Tungamirai mberi kwangu, uye musiye nzvimbo pakati pamapoka.”
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
Akarayira uya akanga achitungamirira akati, “Mukoma wangu Esau paanosangana nemi uye akakubvunza achiti, ‘Uri waaniko iwe, uye uri kuendepi, uye pfuma yose iri mberi kwako ndeyani?’
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
ipapo iwe unofanira kupindura uchiti, ‘Ndezvomuranda wenyu Jakobho. Izvi zvipo zvatumirwa kuna she wangu Esau, uye iye ari kutevera mumashure medu.’”
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
Akarayirawo wechipiri, wechitatu uye navamwe vose vaitevera mapoka achiti, “Munofanira kutaura chinhu chimwe chete kuna Esau pamunosangana naye.
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
Uye murangarire kuti, ‘Muranda wenyu Jakobho ari kuuya mumashure medu.’” Nokuti akafunga akati, “Ndamunyaradza nezvipo zvandiri kumutumira mberi; pandinozomuona, zvichida achandigamuchira.”
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Saka chipo chaJakobho chakatungamira mberi kwake, asi iye pachake akavata mumusasa. Nokuti akafunga akati, “Ndichamunyaradza nezvipo zvandiri kutumira mberi; pandinozomuona, zvichida achandigamuchira.”
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
Usiku ihwohwo Jakobho akamuka akatora vakadzi vake vaviri, varandakadzi vake navanakomana vake gumi nomumwe vakayambuka pazambuko reJabhoki.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Shure kwokuvayambutsa rukova, akayambutsawo zvose zvaakanga anazvo.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
Saka Jakobho akasara ari oga, uye mumwe murume akaita mutsimba naye kusvikira utonga hwatsvuka.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
Murume uye paakaona kuti akanga asingagoni kumukunda, akabata pahudyu yaJakobho zvokuti hudyu yakashodogoka paakanga achiita mutsimba nomunhu uyu.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
Ipapo murume uya akati, “Ndirege ndiende, nokuti utonga hwatsvuka.” Asi Jakobho akapindura akati, “Handingatongokuregei muchienda kusvikira mandiropafadza.”
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
Murume uya akamubvunza akati, “Zita rako ndianiko?” Jakobho akapindura akati, “Jakobho.”
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Ipapo murume uya akati, “Zita rako harichazonzi Jakobho, asi Israeri, nokuti wakarwa naMwari uye nomunhu ukakunda.”
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
Jakobho akati, “Ndapota hangu, ndiudzei zita renyu.” Asi iye akapindura akati, “Seiko uchibvunza zita rangu?” Ipapo akamuropafadza.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
Saka Jakobho akatumidza nzvimbo iyo zita rokuti Penieri, akati, “Nokuti ndaona Mwari chiso nechiso, asi handina kufa.”
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
Zuva rakakwira pamusoro pake, paakanga opfuura Penieri, uye akanga achikamhina nokuda kwehudyu yake.
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Naizvozvo kusvikira zuva ranhasi vaIsraeri havadyi runda rakabatanidzwa nehudyu, nokuti hudyu yaJakobho yakanga yakuvadzwa pedyo nerunda.
