Kinohi 32
1 HELE aku la o Iakoba i kona hele ana, a halawai mai la na anela o ke Akua me ia.
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 A ike aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, i aku la ia, O ka puali kaua keia o ke Akua: a kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o I Mahanaima.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Hoouna aku la o Iakoba i na elele imua ona io Esau la i kona kaikuaana, ma ka aina o Seira, oia ka aina o Edoma.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 Kauoha aku la ia ia lakou, i aku la, Penei ka oukou e olelo aku ai i kuu haku, ia Esau; Ke i mai nei o kau kauwa o Iakoba penei, Ua noho pu au me Labana, ua kali aku no wau ilaila a hiki i neia manawa.
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob says thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 Ia'u no na bipi, na hoki, na holoholona, me na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine; a ua hoouna aku no wau e hai aku i kuu haku, i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou maka.
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your sight.
6 Hoi hou mai la na elele io Iakoba la, i mai la, Hele aku la makou i kou kaikuaana io Esau la; a ke hele mai nei hoi oia e halawai me oe, a me ia na haneri kanaka eha.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Alaila, makau nui iho la o Iakoba, a ua pilikia loa: mahele ae la oia i na kanaka me ia, i na holoholona, i na bipi a me na kamelo, elua poe;
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 I aku la, Ina e hele mai o Esau, a pepehi mai i kekahi poe, alaila e pakele ka poe i koe.
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 I aku la o Iakoba, E ke Akua o kun kupunakane o Aberahama, ke Akua o kuu makuakane o Isaaka, e Iehova, ka mea nana i olelo mai ia'u, E hoi hou aku oe i kou aina, a i kou poe hoahanau, a e lokomaikai aku no au ia oe:
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which said to me, Return to your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:
10 Aole au e pono no na lokomaikai a pau a me ka oiaio a pau au i hoike mai ai, i kau kauwa nei; no ka mea, me kuu kookoo iho i hele mai ai au ma keia kapa o loredane; a ua lilo no wau ano i elua poe.
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which you have showed to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoopakele ae ae ia'u mai ka lima aku o kuu kaikuaana, mai ka lima o Esau: no ka mea, ke makau nei au ia ia, o hele mai nei oia e pepehi mai ia'u me ka makuwahine a me na kamalii.
Deliver me, I pray you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 Ua olelo mai oe, E lokomaikai io no wau ia oe, a e hoonui au i kau poe mamo e like me ke one o ke kai, aole e pau lakou i ka heluia no ka lehulehu.
And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Moe iho la ia malaila ia po; lalau aku la ia i na mea i loaa i kona lima, i makana na kona kaikuaana, na Esau,
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 I elua haneri kao wahine, me na kao kane he iwakalua; elua haneri hipa wahine, me na hipa kane he iwakalua,
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 He kanakolu kamelo waiu, me ka lakou mau keiki; he kanaha bipi wahine, me na bipi kane he umi; he iwakalua hoki wahine a me na hokikeiki he umi.
Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 Haawi aku la oia ia mau mea i ka lima o kana poe kauwa, a kaawale kekahi poe me kahi poe; i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, E hele e aku oukou mamua o'u, a e hookaawale i kahi poe me kahi poe.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 Kauoha aku la ia i ka mea i hele mamua, i aku la, A halawai mai ko'u kaikuaana o Esau me oe, a ninau mai ia oe, i ka i ana mai, Nowai oe? Mahea oe e hele nei? Nawai hoi keia poe mamua ou?
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where go you? and whose are these before you?
18 Alaila, e olelo aku oe, Na kau kauwa, na Iakoba lakou nei, ua hoounaia mai, i makana na ko'u haku na Esau: eia ae hoi oia mahope o makou.
Then you shall say, They be your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 Pela hoi oia i kauoha aku ai i ka lua a me ke kolu, a me ka poe a pau i hahai mahope o na pua holoholona, i ka i ana, Pela hoi oukou e olelo aku ai ia Esau, i ka wa e loaa'i ia oukou ia.
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 E i aku hoi oukou, Eia ae kau kauwa o Iakoba mahope o makou. No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hoolaulea aku au ia ia i ka makana e hele la mamua o'u, a mahope iho e ike aku au i kona maka; a e maliu mai paha ia ia'u.
And say you moreover, 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; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 Pela i hele aku ai ka makana ma kela kapa imua ona: a moe pu iho la oia ia po me ka huakai.
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 Ala ae la oia ia po, lalau aku la ia i kana mau wahine elua, me kana mau kauwawahine elua, a me kana mau keiki kane he umikumamakahi, a hele aku la ma kahi papau o Iaboka ma kela kapa.
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 Lalau aku la ia ia lakou, hoouna aku la ia lakou ma kela kapa o ke kahawai, a hoouka aku la hoi i kana mau mea a pau.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 O Iakoba wale no i koe: a hakoko mai la kekahi kanaka me ia, a wehe ae la ke alaula o ke ao.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 A ike iho la kela, aole ia i lanakila maluna ona, papai mai la ia i ka hena o kona uha, a ua kapeke ae la ka huamoa o ko Iakoba uha, i kona hakoko ana me ia.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 I mai la kela, E kuu ae oe ia'u, no ka mea, ke wehe mai la ke alaula. I aku la oia, Aole au e kuu aku ia oe, a hoomaikai mai oe ia'u.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
27 Ninau mai la kela ia ia, Owai kou inoa? I aku la oia, O Iakoba.
And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
28 I mai la kela, Aole e hea hou ia kou inoa, o Iakoba; aka, o Iseraela: no ka mea, he ikaika kou imua o ke Akua; a e lanakila hoi oe maluna o na kanaka.
And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
29 Ninau aku la o Iakoba, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou inoa. I mai la kela, Heaha kau i ninau mai ai i ko'u inoa? A hoomaikai mai la kela ia ia ilaila.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Why is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 Kapa aku la o Iakoba i ka inoa o ia wahi o i Peniela: No ka mea, ua ike iho nei au i ke Akua, he maka no he maka, a ua malamaia kuu ola.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 Puka mai la ka la maluna ona i kona hele ana ae maluna o Penuela, kapeke ae la oia maluna o kona uha.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he halted on his thigh.
32 No ia mea, aole e ai na mamo a Iseraela i ke olona i eeke, ka mea ma ka uha, a hiki i keia la: no ka mea, papai mai la kela i ka hena o ko Iakoba uha ma ke olona i eeke.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
