Kinohi 32
1 HELE aku la o Iakoba i kona hele ana, a halawai mai la na anela o ke Akua me ia.
Jacob also 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.
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God's camp,” so 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.
Jacob sent messengers on ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, in the region 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.
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you will say to my master Esau: This is what your servant Jacob says: 'I have been staying with Laban, and have delayed my return 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.
I have oxen, donkeys, and flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent this message to my master, so that I may find favor in your eyes.'”
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.
The messengers returned to Jacob and said, “We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are 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 very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, and also the flocks, the herds, and the camels.
8 I aku la, Ina e hele mai o Esau, a pepehi mai i kekahi poe, alaila e pakele ka poe i koe.
He said, “If Esau comes to one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will 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:
Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, 'Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will prosper 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 all your acts of covenant faithfulness and of all the trustworthiness that you have done for your servant. For with only my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
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.
Please rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, that he will come and attack me and the mothers 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.
But you said, 'I will certainly make you prosper. I will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for their number.'”
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,
Jacob stayed there that night. He took some of what he had with him as a gift 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 female goats and twenty male 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 milking camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
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.
These he gave these into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself. He said to his servants, “Go on ahead of me and put a space between each of the herds.”
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?
He instructed the first servant, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? Whose animals are these that are in front of 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 will say, 'They are your servant Jacob's. They are a gift sent to my master Esau. See, he is also coming after 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.
Jacob also gave instructions to the second group, the third, and all the men who followed the herds. He said, “You will say the same thing to Esau when you meet 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.
You must also say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming after us.'” For he thought, “I will appease him with the gifts that I am sending ahead of me. Then later, when I will see him, perhaps he will receive 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 the gifts went on ahead of him. He himself stayed that night in the camp.
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.
Jacob got up during the night, and he took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons. He sent them across the ford of the 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.
In this way he sent them across the stream along with all his possessions.
24 O Iakoba wale no i koe: a hakoko mai la kekahi kanaka me ia, a wehe ae la ke alaula o ke ao.
Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
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.
When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob's hip. Jacob's hip was dislocated 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.
The man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Ninau mai la kela ia ia, Owai kou inoa? I aku la oia, O Iakoba.
The man said to him, “What is your name?” Jacob 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.
The man said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel. For you have struggled 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.
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” Then 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.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered.”
31 Puka mai la ka la maluna ona i kona hele ana ae maluna o Penuela, kapeke ae la oia maluna o kona uha.
The sun rose on Jacob as he passed Peniel. He was limping because of his hip.
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.
That is why to this day the people of Israel do not eat the ligaments of the hip which are at the hip joint, because the man injured those ligaments while dislocating Jacob's hip.
