Jenesis 32
1 Jekopu'a kantega nevigeno, Anumzamofo ankeromo'za agrite efore hu'naze.
Jacob went on his way and some angels of God came to meet him.
2 Hagi Jekopu'ma nezmageno'a amanage hu'ne, Ama Anumzamofo nonkumare, nehuno agi'a Mahanaimie huno ante'ne.
When he saw them he said, “This must be God's camp!” He named the place “Two Camps.”
3 Jekopu'a ke erino vu vahe huzmantege'za vugote'za nefu Iso mani'nere Idomu moparega, mago agi'a Seirie nehazarega vu'naze.
He sent messengers on ahead to meet his brother Esau who was living in the region of Seir in the country of Edom.
4 Hagi Jekopu'a mago'ene amanage huno huzmante'ne, Amanage huta ranimofo Isona ome asamiho, eri'za neka'a Jekopu'a anage hie, nagra Lebani mopafi mani'noreti menina neoe.
He told them, “This is what you are to say to my lord Esau. Your servant Jacob sends you this message. I've been staying with Laban up till now,
5 Nagra bulimakao afutaminki, donkiraminki, memeramine, sipisipi kevuzagane, eri'za veanine zamavare'na ne-ena ranimoka kagrama kasunku'ma hunantenka mago krimpama hunka antahinamisanku hunezmantoe, hie huta ome asmiho.
and I have cattle and donkeys and sheep and goats, and male and female slaves. I've sent these messengers to explain this to you my lord, hoping you'll be pleased to see me.”
6 Hige'za kema eri'za vu'naza vahe'mo'za ete e'za Jekopuna amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze, Negafu Isona ome asamunanagi kantega tutagiha hugantenaku ne-ege'za, 400'a vahe'mo'za avega hu'za neaze.
The messengers returned to Jacob and told him, “Your brother Esau is coming to meet you with 400 armed men!”
7 Hazageno Jekopu'na tusi amano vazigeno agu'amo tare nehigeno, miko'a zama'ane vahe'ane, bulimakao kevune, memeramine, sipisipiramine, kemoriramina tarefi refko huno kevu huzmantene.
When Jacob heard this, he was absolutely terrified. He split all the people with him, along with the sheep, goats, cattle, and camels, into two groups,
8 Amanahu agesa agra antahi'ne, Iso'ma, mago kevuma ha'ma eme huzmantesigeno'a, mago kevu'moza fresnaze, huno nehuno tare kevua refako hunte'ne.
saying to himself, “If Esau comes and destroys one group, the other one can get away.”
9 E'ina nehuno amanage huno Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne, Nenageho Abrahamu Anumzane, nafa'nimofo Aisaki Anumzana, Ra Anumzamoka Kagra nasaminka, ete kagra mopaka'are nagaka'arega vuge'na, kazeri knare hugantaneno hunka hu'nane.
Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’
10 Nagra knare osu vahe mani'nogenka vagaore kavesizane, kema hu'nante amage ante avu'avazanena Kagra eri'za vahekamo'na naveri' hu'nane. Hagi nagra magoke azompa eri'nena Jodani tina takahe'na vu'noe. Hanki menina nagra tare seli nonku'ma eme ki'na mani'noe.
I don't deserve all the trustworthy love and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I crossed the Jordan years ago with just my walking stick, and now I have two large camps.
11 Koro nagesa nehige'na, nagra nunamu nehuanki, nenfu Iso azampintira, nagu'vazio. Na'ankure eme nenaheno, mofavre ni'ane, nezamareranena zamahegahianki naza huo.
Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
12 Na'ankure Kagra hunka, Nagra kazeri ra neha'nena kagehe'za hagerinkenafi kasepankna hanage'za, vahe'mo'zahampri hana hugara osugahaze, hunka ko nagrira hunante'nane.
You yourself told me, ‘I will definitely treat you well. I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore—too many to count.’”
13 Hagi ana kenagera anante maseteno, kotigeno otino mika'zama erino e'nefintira ase'ma hu'neama'a refko huno muse'za nefu Iso ami'za eri atru hu'ne.
Jacob stayed the night there. Then he picked out animals as a gift to his brother Esau:
14 200'a a' memeraminki, 20'a ve memeraminki, 200'a sipisipiraminki, 20'a ve sipisipiraminena zamavarenenteno,
200 female goats, 20 male goats; 200 ewes, 20 rams;
15 30'a kemori afuzagane anenta'zmine, 40'a a' bulimakaoramine, 10ni'a ve bulimakao afuzagagi, 20'a a' donkiraminki, 10ni'a ve donki afutaminki huno zamarente'ne.
30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls; 20 female donkeys, 10 male donkeys.
16 Ana huteno eri'za vahe'amokizmi huzmantege'za afu'zaga kevure kevure refko hute'za rure rure zamavare'za nevazageno amanage huno zamasmi'ne, navuga vugoteta nevuta rure rure zamavareta viho,
He put his servants in charge of each of the separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep a good distance between the herds.”
17 huno nehuno, kotama vaza nagamokimire'ma vugotama hia eriza nera, amanage huno hankave ke asmi'ne, Nenfu Iso'ma eno emenegageno, igati vahe'moka, iga nevane, aza afu'zaga zamaregotenka neane? huno kantahigesigenka,
He gave these instructions to those with the first herd: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who is your master, and where are you going, and whose are these animals with you?’
18 amanage hunka asmio, eri'za vahekamofo Jekopu afutamine. Muse'za ramofo nefu Iso ami'zane, hagi agra henka tamage'a ne-e hiho.
you are to say to him, ‘Your servant Jacob sends these as a gift to my lord Esau, and he's following us.’”
19 Hanki anante anante'ma hu'za henkama vutere haza afu kevuraminte'ma kvama hu'zama vaza eri'za vahe'tmina kantegama Iso'na kesuta anankege ome asamiho, huno huzmante'ne.
He gave the same instructions to those with the second and third and all the subsequent herds, telling them, “This what you are to say to Esau when he meets you.
20 Anage nehuno mago'ene amanage huno huzmante'ne, Eri'za vaheka'a Jekopu'a agra tamefiga'a ne-e huta hiho. E'i anankema hu'neana, na'ankure kote'na museza ami'nenkeno e'nerino rimpa fru hutena, henka avufima ome negesugeno'a muse huno navregahie huno Jekopu'a agesa nentahino hu'ne.
You must also tell him, ‘Your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob said to himself, “Maybe by sending these gifts on ahead Esau won't be angry with me and when I meet him he'll be kind to me.”
21 Anage huno nentahino huzmantege'za ana musezama amisia afu kevua zamavare'za vugota hu'za vazageno, ana kenagera seli noma ki'za mase'nare Jekopu'a anante mase'ne.
So the gifts went on ahead while Jacob spent the night at the camp.
22 Ana kenage amu'nompi Jekopu'a otino a' trema'ane, eri'za mofatrene, 11ni'a mofavre'ane zamavareno Jabok osi tina kagata hu'nere ome zamatrege'za takahe'za vu'naze.
He got up during the night and took his two wives and the two personal maids and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River at the ford.
23 Zamavreno ome zamatreteno eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, maka afufenoma'a eri'za takahe'za vu'naze.
After helping them cross he also sent over everything that belonged to him.
24 Anante Jekopu'a agrake mani'negeno, kenagera mago ne' anante ege'ne ogazafe agazafe hu'neke, oretufe aretufe nehakeno vuno kotu'za hu'ne.
But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
25 Ana ne'mo'ma keama Jekopuma agate'marega osuno'a, amumazinare regri'nea zaferinare ahegeno Jekopuna amumazinamo'a avazu hurami'ne.
When the man realized he couldn't beat Jacob, he hit Jacob's hip socket and put it out of joint as he wrestled with him.
26 Ana higeno ana ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Kotu'za hianki natrege'na va'neno, huno ana ne'mo'a higeno, Jekopu'a ana nekura huno, Katra'nena ame hunka ovugahananki, asomu hunantetenkage vugahane, huno higeno,
Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.
27 ana ne'mo'a antahigeno, Kagi'a azage, higeno, Nagra Jekopu'ne huno asamigeno,
“What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28 ana ne'mo'a huno, Mago'ene kagrikura Jekopu'e hu'za osugahaze. Na'ankure Anumzane, mopafi vahe'ene hara hunka agatere'nanku menina kagi'a Israelige.
“Jacob will no longer be you name,” said the man. “Instead you will be called Israel, because you fought with God and with men and you won.”
29 Higeno Jekopu'a antahigeno, Muse (plis) hugantoanki kagika'a nasamio, huno antahigegeno, Na'anku Nagri nagigura nantahi negane? Nehuno anante asomu hunte'ne.
“Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
30 Higeno Jekopu'a huno, Nagra Anumzamofo avufi koanagi ofri manue, nehuno Jekopu'a ana kumakura Penielie huno agi'a ante'ne.
Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”
31 Penieli kumara agateretegeno, zagemo'a hanati anamifi tegeno, revazmu revazmu huno vu'ne. Na'ankure amumazinamo'a ruvazu hu'negu anara hu'ne.
The sun came up as Jacob left Peniel, limping along because of his damaged hip.
32 Ana hu'negu menina Israeli vahe'mo'za zagagafamofo amumazinamo'ma agezafima eme regri'nerema me'nea ame'a nonaze. Na'ankure Jekopu amumzinama avako'ma hu'nea zanku hu'za nonaze.
(That's why, even today, Israelites don't eat the thigh tendon attached to the hip socket, because that's where the man hit Jacob's hip socket.)
