< Genesis 32 >

1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jakọbu sì ń bá ọ̀nà tirẹ̀ lọ, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pàdé rẹ̀.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí wọn, ó wí pé, “Àgọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èyí!” Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni Mahanaimu.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Jakọbu sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ṣáájú ara rẹ̀ sí Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ Seiri ní orílẹ̀-èdè Edomu.
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.
Ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò wí fún Esau olúwa mi, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, ‘Mo ti ṣe àtìpó lọ́dọ̀ Labani títí ó fi di àsìkò yìí.
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.’”
Mo ní màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́. Mo tún ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin. Mo ń ránṣẹ́ yìí sí olúwa mi kí èmi le è rí ojúrere rẹ.’”
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.”
Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà padà tọ Jakọbu wà, wọ́n wí pé “Esau arákùnrin rẹ ti múra láti wá pàdé rẹ pẹ̀lú irinwó ọkùnrin.”
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.
Pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìbànújẹ́ ni Jakọbu fi pín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí ìpín méjì, ó sì pín àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, agbo ẹran àti ìbákasẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
Nítorí ó rò ó nínú rẹ̀ pé, “Bí Esau bá kọjú ogun sí ìpín kan, ìpín kejì yóò sá àsálà.”
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,’
Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu gbàdúrà pe, “Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba mi, àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki baba mi, Olúwa tí ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ìbátan rẹ, èmi yóò sì ṣe ọ́ ní rere,’
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.
èmi kò tilẹ̀ yẹ fún àánú àti òtítọ́ tí o ń fihàn fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí pé, kìkì ọ̀pá mi ni mo mu kúrò ni ilé kọjá Jordani yìí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, èmi ti di ẹgbẹ́ méjì.
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.
Jọ̀wọ́ Olúwa gbà mí lọ́wọ́ Esau arákùnrin mi, nítorí ẹ̀rù ń bà mí pé yóò wá dojú ìjà kọ mí àti àwọn ìyàwó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ mi.
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.’”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti ṣèlérí pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú ọ gbilẹ̀, èmi yóò sì mú kí àwọn ìran rẹ dà bì í yanrìn òkun tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò le è kà.’”
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
Ó sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà níbẹ̀. Ó mú ẹ̀bùn fún Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ nínú ohun ìní rẹ̀.
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Igba ewúrẹ́, ogún òbúkọ, igba àgùntàn, ogún àgbò,
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
ọgbọ̀n abo ìbákasẹ pẹ̀lú ọmọ wọn, ogójì abo màlúù àti akọ màlúù mẹ́wàá, ogún abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
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.”
Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ ṣáájú mi, kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àlàfo wà láàrín ọ̀wọ́ agbo ẹran kọ̀ọ̀kan sí èkejì.”
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?’
Ó pàṣẹ fún èyí tí ó ṣáájú pé, “Nígbà tí arákùnrin mi Esau bá pàdé rẹ tí ó sì béèrè ẹni tí ìwọ í ṣe àti ibi tí ìwọ ń lọ àti ẹni tí ó ni agbo ẹran tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ,
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.’”
nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wí pé, ‘Ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Jakọbu ni wọ́n. Ẹ̀bùn ni ó sì fi wọ́n ṣe fún Esau olúwa mi, òun pàápàá ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’”
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.
Jakọbu sì pàṣẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ fún ọ̀wọ́ kejì àti ẹ̀kẹta àti àwọn tókù tí ó tẹ̀lé agbo ẹran pé, “Ohun kan ṣoṣo yìí náà ni kí ẹ sọ fún Esau nígbà tí ẹ bá pàdé rẹ̀.
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.”
Kí ẹ rí i dájú wí pé, ẹ sọ fún un pé, ‘Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’” Èrò Jakọbu ni láti fi àwọn ẹ̀bùn wọ̀nyí tu Esau lójú pé bóyá inú Esau yóò dùn sí òun nígbà tí àwọn bá pàdé.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Nítorí náà ẹ̀bùn Jakọbu ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, Jakọbu pàápàá sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà nínú àgọ́.
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.
Ó sì dìde ní òru ọjọ́ náà, ó mú àwọn aya rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mọ́kọ̀ọ̀kànlá, wọ́n sì kọjá ní ìwọdò Jabbok.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti rán wọn kọjá odò tán sí òkè odò, ó sì rán àwọn ohun ìní rẹ̀ kọjá pẹ̀lú.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
Ó sì ku Jakọbu nìkan, ọkùnrin kan sì bá a ja ìjàkadì títí ó fi di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà rí i pé òun kò le borí Jakọbu, ó fọwọ́ kàn án ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, egungun náà sì yẹ̀ kúrò lórí ike, bí ó ti ń ja ìjàkadì.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí ń máa lọ, nítorí ojúmọ́ ti mọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi kò ní jẹ́ kí o lọ, àyàfi bí o bá súre fún mi.”
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
Ọkùnrin náà béèrè orúkọ rẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Jakọbu ni òun ń jẹ́.”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí pé, “Orúkọ rẹ kì yóò jẹ́ Jakọbu mọ́ bí kò ṣe Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ ti bá Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn jà, o sì borí.”
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.
Jakọbu sì bẹ ọkùnrin náà pé, “Sọ orúkọ rẹ fún mi.” Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin náà sá à dáhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí o ń béèrè orúkọ mi?” Lẹ́yìn náà ó súre fún Jakọbu níbẹ̀.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
Jakọbu sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Penieli pé, “Mo rí Ọlọ́run ní ojúkojú, síbẹ̀ a dá ẹ̀mí mi sí.”
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá Penieli, oòrùn ràn bá a, ó sì ń tiro nítorí itan rẹ̀.
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.
Ìdí nìyí tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kì í fi í jẹ iṣan tí ó wà ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ títí di òní olónìí, nítorí níbi iṣan náà ni a ti fọwọ́ kan ibi tí egungun itan Jakọbu ti bẹ̀rẹ̀.
