Nayenso Yakobo analowera njira yake, ndipo angelo a Mulungu anakumana naye.
2 Esi Yakob kpɔ wo la, edo ɣli be, “Mawu ƒe asaɖae nye esia!” Eya ta ena ŋkɔ teƒea be Mahanaim.
Pamene Yakobo anawaona anati, “Ili ndi gulu la Mulungu.” Choncho anawatcha malowo Mahanaimu.
3 Yakob dɔ amewo ɖe foa Esau gbɔ le Edom le Seirnyigba dzi.

Anawalangiza kuti, “Zimene mukanene ndi izi kwa mbuye wanga Esau: ‘Mtumiki wanu Yakobo akuti, Ine ndakhala ndi kukhala ndi Labani mpaka tsopano.
5 Fifia nyiwo, tedziwo, alẽwo kple subɔla geɖewo, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa le asinye. Mele ame siawo ɖom ɖa be woana nyanya wò nye aƒetɔ be megbɔna, eye mele mɔ kpɔm be àxɔ mí nɔvitɔe.’”
Ndili ndi ngʼombe, abulu, nkhosa ndi mbuzi, antchito aamuna ndi aakazi. Tsopano ndikutumiza mawu amenewa kwa mbuye wanga, kuti mundikomere mtima.’”
6 Ame dɔdɔawo trɔ tso Esau gbɔ va gblɔ na Yakob be Esau gbɔna Yakob kpe ge kple ame alafa ene!
Pamene amithenga aja anabwerera kwa Yakobo, anati, “Tinapita kwa mʼbale wanu Esau, ndipo tsopano iye akubwera kudzakumana nanu. Ali ndi anthu 400.”
7 Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Yakob. Ema eƒe amewo kple lãhawo kpakple kposɔwo ɖe akpa eve,

8 elabena egblɔ be, “Ne Esau adze hatsotso ɖeka dzi la, ɖewohĩ hatsotso evelia me tɔwo ate ŋu asi.”
Mʼmaganizo ake iye ankanena kuti, “Ngati Esau atabwera ndi kuthira nkhondo gulu limodzi, gulu lina lotsalalo likhoza kupulumuka.”
9 Tete Yakob do gbe ɖa be “O, tɔgbuinye Abraham kple fofonye Isak ƒe Mawu, O, Yehowa, wò ame si gblɔ nam be matrɔ va nye ƒometɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, eye nèdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nyui nam la,
Pamenepo Yakobo anapemphera, “Haa, Mulungu wa kholo langa Abrahamu, Mulungu wa abambo anga Isake, Aa Yehova amene munati kwa ine, ‘Bwerera ku dziko la kwanu ndi kwa abale ako, ndipo ndidzakuchitira zabwino.’
10 nyemedze na wò amenuveve si nèɖena fiaam edziedzi abe ale si nèdo ŋugbe nam ene o, elabena esi metso Yɔdan la, naneke menɔ asinye wu atizɔti ɖeka o! Ke azɔ la, mezu aʋakɔ eve!
Ine siwoyenera kulandira kukoma mtima kwanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu kumene mwaonetsa wantchito wanu. Ndinali ndi ndodo yokha pamene ndinawoloka Yorodani uyu koma tsopano ndili ndi magulu awiri.
11 O, Yehowa, meɖe kuku na wò, ɖem tso tsɔtsrɔ̃ me le fonye Esau ƒe asi me, elabena mele vɔvɔ̃m ŋutɔ be ava ho aʋa ɖe nye ŋutɔ, srɔ̃nyewo kple vinyewo ŋu.
Ndipulumutseni mʼdzanja la mʼbale wanga Esau, popeza ndikuopa kuti mwina akubwera kudzandithira nkhondo pamodzi ndi akazi ndi ana omwe.
12 Ke èdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nyui nam, eye yeana nye dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene, eye womate ŋu axlẽ wo o.”
Paja Inu munandilonjeza kuti simudzalephera kundichitira zabwino ndi kuti zidzukulu zanga zidzakhala zosawerengeka ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja.”
13 Etsi afi ma dɔ, eye wòtia nu siwo nɔ esi la ƒe ɖe na foa Esau:
Iye anagona pomwepo usiku umenewo. Pambuyo pake anasankhula pa chuma chimene anali nacho zinthu izi ngati mphatso za Esau, mʼbale wake:
14 gbɔ̃nɔ alafa eve kple gbɔ̃tsu blaeve, alẽnɔ alafa eve kple agbo blaeve,
Anasankhula mbuzi zazikazi 200 ndi atonde makumi awiri, nkhosa zazikazi 200 ndi nkhosa zazimuna makumi awiri,
15 kposɔnɔ blaetɔ̃ kple wo viwo, nyinɔ blaene kple nyitsu ewo, tedzinɔ blaeve kple tedzitsu ewo.
ngamira za mkaka 30 ndi ana awo, ngʼombe zazikazi 40 ndi zazimuna khumi, ndipo abulu aakazi makumi awiri ndi abulu aamuna khumi.
16 Egblɔ na eƒe subɔlawo be woadze ŋgɔ kple lãha siawo, lãha ɖe sia ɖe nanɔ eɖokui si, eye dometsotso nanɔ wo dome.
Iye anazipereka kwa antchito ake kuti azikuse, gulu lililonse pa lokha, ndipo anati kwa antchito akewo, “Tsogolani ndipo muonetsetse kuti pali mpata pakati pa gulu ndi gulu linzake.”
17 Egblɔ na ame siwo le lãha gbãtɔ kplɔm la be ne wodo go Esau, eye wòbia wo be, “Afi ka yim miele? Ame ka ƒe subɔlawo mienye? Ame ka ƒe lãwoe nye esiawo?” la,
Anawuza mnyamata wa gulu loyamba kuti, “Ngati ukumana naye mʼbale wanga Esau nakufunsa kuti, ‘Ndinu antchito a yani, ndipo mukupita kuti? Nanga ziweto zonse zili patsogolo pakozi ndi za yani?’
18 woaɖo eŋu be, “Wò subɔla, Yakob ƒe lãwoe. Wonye nunana na eƒe aƒetɔ Esau! Ele mía yome gbɔna!”
Pamenepo ukayankhe kuti, ‘Zimenezi ndi za wantchito wanu, Yakobo, ndipo wazipereka kwa inu, Esau, mbuye wake ngati mphatso. Mtumiki wanuyu akubwera mʼmbuyo mwathumu.’”
19 Yakob gblɔ nya mawo ke na lãkplɔla bubuawo hã be woagblɔ na Esau.
Anawuza mawu omwewo kwa wachiwiri, wachitatu ndi ena onse amene ankayenda motsogoza ziwetozo kuti, “Inunso munene zomwezo kwa Esau mukakumana naye.
20 Yakob ƒe tameɖoɖoe nye be yeakpata Esau kple nunanawo hafi yeado goe ŋkume kple ŋkume! Yakob kpɔ mɔ be, “Ɖewohĩ axɔ mí nyuie.”
Muzikanena kuti, ‘Wantchito wanu Yakobo akubwera mʼmbuyo mwathumu.’” Popeza anaganiza kuti, “Ndidzamutsitsa mtima ndi mphatso ndazitsogozazi. Apo tsono ndikadzakumana naye, mwina adzandilandira bwino.”
21 Ale wòɖo nunanawo ɖa do ŋgɔ, eye Yakob gatsi asaɖa me dɔ.
Choncho mphatso za Yakobo zinatsogola, koma iye mwini anagona pa msasa pomwepo usiku umenewo.
22 Le zã me la, Yakob fɔ, eye wòkplɔ srɔ̃a eveawo, eƒe kosi eveawo kple via wuiɖekɛawo, eye wotso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le tɔtsoƒe si ŋkɔe nye Yabok.
Usiku umenewo Yakobo anauka natenga akazi ake awiri, antchito ake awiri ndi ana ake aamuna khumi ndi mmodzi nawoloka pa dooko la mtsinje wa Yaboki.
23 Ale wòkplɔ wo tso tɔ lae kple eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã.
Atatha kuwawolotsa pa mtsinjewo anawolotsanso katundu wake yense.
24 Yakob trɔ va asaɖa la me, eye eya ɖeka nɔ afi ma. Ŋutsu aɖe te kame kplii va se ɖe fɔŋli.
Tsono Yakobo anatsala yekha. Tsono munthu wina anadzalimbana naye mpaka mʼmbandakucha.
25 Esi ŋutsu la kpɔ be yemate ŋu aɖu Yakob dzi o la, etɔ asi Yakob ƒe aligo, eye ƒuawo gli le enu.
Pamene munthuyo anaona kuti sangathe kumugonjetsa, anakhudza nyungʼunyu ya pa ntchafu ya Yakobo ndipo inaguluka polimbanapo.
26 Tete ŋutsu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le ŋunye mayi, elabena ŋu le kekem.” Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemele asi ɖe ge le ŋuwò o, negbe ɖeko nàyram hafi.”
Kenaka munthuyo anati, “Ndisiye ndizipita, popeza kunja kukucha.” Koma Yakobo anayankha, “Sindikulolani kupita pokhapokha mutandidalitsa.”
27 Ŋutsu la biae be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Yakob.”
Munthu uja anamufunsa Yakobo kuti, “Kodi dzina lako ndiwe yani?” Iye anayankha, “Ndine Yakobo.”
28 Ŋutsu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Womagayɔ wò azɔ nenema o! Woayɔ wò azɔ be Israel, ame si te kame kple Mawu. Esi nète kame kple Mawu ta la, àɖu amewo dzi.”
Pamenepo munthuyo anati, “Dzina lako silidzakhalanso Yakobo koma Israeli, chifukwa walimbana ndi Mulungu ndi anthu ndipo wapambana.”
29 Yakob biae be, “Wò hã ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka ta nèbia ŋkɔnye ta ɖo.” Eye wòyrae le afi ma.
Yakobo anati, “Chonde, uzeni dzina lanu.” Koma munthuyo anati, “Chifukwa chiyani ukundifunsa dzina?” Kenaka anamudalitsa pomwepo.
30 Yakob na ŋkɔ teƒea be “Peniel” si gɔmee nye “Mawu ƒe ŋkume,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mekpɔ Mawu ŋkume kple ŋkume, gake metsi agbe.”
Choncho Yakobo anawatcha malowo Penueli, popeza anati, “Ndinaonana ndi Mulungu maso ndi maso koma sindinafe.”
31 Esi wògadze mɔ ko la, ɣe dze. Le eƒe aligoƒu si gli ta la, ede asi tɔtɔ me.
Dzuwa linamutulukira Yakobo pamene amachoka pa Penueli. Tsono ankayenda chotsimphina chifukwa cha nyungʼunyu yake ija.
32 Esia ta Israelviwo meɖua ka titri si to lãwo ƒe aligo dzi o, elabena wotɔ asi ka si le Yakob ƒe aligokpeƒe la dzi.
Nʼchifukwa chake mpaka lero Aisraeli sadya nyama ya pa nyungʼunyu chifukwa Yakobo anakhudzidwa pa nyungʼunyu.
