Jenesis 32
1 Jekọb nʼonwe ya hapụrụ gawa nʼihu nʼije ya. Ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke zutere ya nʼụzọ.
And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
2 Mgbe Jekọb hụrụ ha, o kwuru sị, “Ebe a bụ ụlọ ikwu Chineke!” Ọ kpọrọ ebe ahụ, Mahanaim.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
3 Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha jee hụ Ịsọ nwanne ya nwoke nʼala Sia, nʼobodo Edọm.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
4 O ziri ha ozi sị, “Ihe a bụ ihe unu ga-agwa nna m ukwu Ịsọ, ‘Odibo gị Jekọb kwuru sị, Ọ bụ na nke Leban ka m jere kemgbe, ọ bụkwa ebe ahụ ka m nọ ruo ugbu a.
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
5 Enwere m ọtụtụ ehi, na ịnyịnya ibu, na igwe atụrụ na ewu, na ndị odibo ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị. Ana m ezigara onyenwe m ozi a ka m nata ihuọma nʼebe ọ nọ.’”
And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.
6 Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ lọghachikwutere Jekọb, ha gwara ya sị ya, “Anyị jekwuru nwanne gị nwoke Ịsọ dị ka i ziri anyị. Ugbu a, ọ na-abịa. Ọ chị narị ndị ikom anọ na-abịa izute gị.”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold! he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Ụjọ tụrụ Jekọb nke ukwuu, obi ya jupụtakwara na nsogbu. Nʼihi nke a, o kewara ndị niile so ya ụzọ abụọ, tinyere anụ ụlọ ya, na igwe ehi ya na ịnyịnya kamel ya.
And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
8 O chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na Ịsọ alụso otu nʼime ụzọ abụọ a ọgụ, otu ụzọ fọdụrụ ga-enwe ike gbalaga.”
And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and strike it, the other camp shall be in safety.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kpere ekpere sị, “Chineke nke nna m Ebraham, Chineke nke nna m Aịzik, Onyenwe anyị, gị onye gwara m sị, ‘Laghachi nʼala gị na nʼebe ụmụnna gị nọ, aga m eme ka ihe gaara gị nke ọma.’
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you [are] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of your birth, and I will do you good.
10 Ekwesighị m obi ebere na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi nke i gosiri ohu gị. Mgbe m gabigara Jọdan a, enweghị m ihe ọbụla karịa mkpanaka m, ma ugbu a, abụ m ọmụma ụlọ ikwu abụọ.
Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
11 Zọpụta m, arịọ m gị, site nʼaka nwanne m Ịsọ, nʼihi na egwu na-atụ m na ọ ga-abịa lụso m agha, lụsokwa ndị nne a na ụmụntakịrị ha agha.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and strike me, and the mother upon the children.
12 Ọ bụ gị kwuru sị, ‘Aga m eme ka ihe gaara gị nke ọma, meekwa ka ụmụ ụmụ gị dịrị ka aja nke dị nʼọnụ osimiri, nke mmadụ na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ.’”
But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
13 Jekọb rahụrụ nʼebe ahụ nʼabalị ahụ. Site nʼihe niile o nwere, ọ họpụtara onyinye ọ ga-enye nwanne ya Ịsọ.
And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
14 Ọ kwadoro inye ya: narị nne ewu abụọ, iri mkpi abụọ, narị nne atụrụ abụọ, iri ebule abụọ
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
15 Iri nne ịnyịnya kamel atọ na ụmụ ha, na iri nne ehi anọ, oke ehi iri, iri nne ịnyịnya ibu abụọ, oke ịnyịnya ibu iri.
milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
16 O weere onyinye ndị a niile nyefee nʼaka ndị ozi ya nʼusoro dịka ụdị ha si dị. Ọ gwara ndị na-ejere ya ozi sị ha, “Burunu ụzọ na-aga, meenụ ka ohere dị nʼetiti igwe anụ na igwe ibe ya.”
And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 O nyere onye mbụ iwu sị ha, “Mgbe Ịsọ nwanne m zutere unu jụọ unu ajụjụ sị, ‘Onye bụ nna unu ukwu? Ebee ka unu na-aga? Onye nwe anụ ụlọ ndị a niile unu chị na-aga?’
And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet you, and he ask you, saying, Whose are you? and whither would you go, and whose are these possessions advancing before you?
18 Unu ga-aza sị ya, ‘Anụ ụlọ ndị a bụ nke ohu gị Jekọb. Ha bụ onyinye e zitere onyenwe m Ịsọ, lee ka ọ na-abịa nʼazụ anyị.’”
You shall say, Your servant Jacob's; he has sent gifts to my lord Esau, and behold! he is behind us.
19 Otu ozi ahụ ka Jekọb ziri onye nke abụọ na onye nke atọ, na ndị ọzọ niile chị igwe anụ ụlọ, sị ha, “Unu ga-agwa Ịsọ otu ihe ahụ mgbe unu zutere ya.
And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him;
20 Hụkwanụ na unu gwara ya sị, ‘Ohu gị Jekọb nọ nʼazụ anyị.’” Echiche ya bụ, “Aga m eji onyinye ndị a niile m na-ezipụrụ ya mee ka obi ya dajụọ, nke ọ ga-abụ mgbe mụ na ya zutere, ma eleghị anya, ọ ga-anabata m.”
and you shall say, Behold your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for perhaps he will accept me.
21 Mgbe o zipụchasịrị onyinye ndị ahụ niile, Jekọb rahụrụ ụra nʼụlọ ikwu ya nʼabalị ahụ.
So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 Nʼabalị ahụ, Jekọb biliri duru ndị nwunye ya abụọ na ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ, na ụmụ ya iri na otu, site nʼebe na-adịghị omimi nke iyi Jabọk kpọfee ha.
And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
23 Mgbe ọ kpọfechara ha, o bufekwara ihe niile o nwere.
And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
24 Emesịa, Jekọb lọghachiri nọdụ naanị ya. Mgbe ahụ, otu nwoke bịara gbaso ya mgba. Ha abụọ gbagidere mgba a tutu chi ebido ịbọ.
And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
25 Mgbe nwoke ahụ hụrụ na ọ pụghị imeri Jekọb na mgba ahụ, o tiri Jekọb aka nʼọkpụ, mee ka ọkpụ ya hịkwapụ site nʼọnọdụ ya.
And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
26 Mgbe nke a mesịrị, nwoke ahụ gwara Jekọb sị ya: “Hapụ m aka ka m laa, nʼihi na chi ebidola ịbọ.” Ma Jekọb zara sị ya, “Ọ bụ naanị mgbe ị gọziri m ka m ga-ahapụ gị ka ị laa.”
And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me.
27 Mgbe ahụ nwoke ahụ jụrụ Jekọb ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị bụ aha gị?” Ọ zara sị, “Aha m bụ Jekọb.”
And he said to him, What is your name? and he answered, Jacob.
28 Nwoke ahụ zara sị ya, “Aha gị agaghị abụkwa Jekọb, kama ọ ga-abụ Izrel, nʼihi na gị na Chineke na ndị mmadụ gbara mgba, ị mmeri.”
And he said to him, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; for you have prevailed with God, and shall be mighty with men.
29 Jekọb sịrị, “Biko gwa m aha gị.” Ma ọ zaghachiri, “Gịnị mere ị ji ajụ aha m?” Mgbe ahụ, ọ gọziri ya nʼebe ahụ.
And Jacob asked and said, Tell me your name; and he said, Therefore do you ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 Jekọb kpọrọ aha ebe ahụ Peniel, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Ahụla m Chineke ihu na ihu, ma e chebere ndụ m.”
And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
31 Anyanwụ awaala mgbe Jekọb si Peniel gafee. Ma nʼihi ihe mere ya nʼọkpụ, ọ naghị agazikwa ije.
And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Ọ bụ ihe a mere ụmụ Izrel adịghị eri akwara anụ jikọtara ukwu anụ na ọkpụ ya ruo taa. Nʼihi na ihe ahụ mere Jekọb metụtara akwara ukwu ya.
Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
