Jenesis 32
1 Jekopu'a kantega nevigeno, Anumzamofo ankeromo'za agrite efore hu'naze.
Yakobo pia akaondoka akaenda zake, nao malaika wa Mungu wakakutana naye.
2 Hagi Jekopu'ma nezmageno'a amanage hu'ne, Ama Anumzamofo nonkumare, nehuno agi'a Mahanaimie huno ante'ne.
Yakobo alipowaona, akasema, “Hii ni kambi ya Mungu!” Kwa hiyo akapaita mahali pale Mahanaimu.
3 Jekopu'a ke erino vu vahe huzmantege'za vugote'za nefu Iso mani'nere Idomu moparega, mago agi'a Seirie nehazarega vu'naze.
Yakobo akatuma wajumbe kumtangulia kwa Esau ndugu yake huko Seiri, katika nchi ya Edomu.
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.
Akawaagiza akisema: “Hili ndilo mtakalomwambia bwana wangu Esau: ‘Mtumishi wako Yakobo anasema, nimekuwa nikiishi pamoja na Labani na nimekuwako huko mpaka sasa.
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.
Ninao ngʼombe na punda, kondoo na mbuzi, watumishi wa kiume na wa kike. Sasa ninatuma ujumbe huu kwa bwana wangu, ili nipate kibali machoni pako.’”
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.
Wajumbe waliporudi kwa Yakobo, wakamwambia, “Tulikwenda kuonana na ndugu yako Esau, naye sasa anakuja kukulaki akifuatana na wanaume 400.”
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.
Kwa hofu kuu na huzuni, Yakobo akagawanya watu aliokuwa nao katika makundi mawili, pia akagawanya makundi ya kondoo na mbuzi, na vilevile ngʼombe na ngamia.
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.
Yakobo alifikiri, “Kama Esau akija na kushambulia kundi moja, kundi lililobaki litaweza likanusurika.”
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.
Ndipo Yakobo akaomba, “Ee Mungu wa baba yangu Abrahamu, Mungu wa baba yangu Isaki, Ee Bwana, ambaye uliniambia, ‘Rudi katika nchi yako na jamaa yako, nami nitakufanya ustawi,’
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.
mimi sistahili fadhili na uaminifu wako wote ulionitendea mimi mtumishi wako. Nilikuwa na fimbo tu mkononi mwangu nilipovuka mto huu wa Yordani, lakini sasa ninayo makundi mawili.
11 Koro nagesa nehige'na, nagra nunamu nehuanki, nenfu Iso azampintira, nagu'vazio. Na'ankure eme nenaheno, mofavre ni'ane, nezamareranena zamahegahianki naza huo.
Nakuomba, uniokoe na mkono wa ndugu yangu Esau, kwa maana ninaogopa kuwa atakuja kunishambulia, pia mama pamoja na watoto wao.
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.
Lakini umeshasema, ‘Hakika nitakufanya ustawi na kuufanya uzao wako kuwa mwingi kama mchanga wa baharini ambao hauwezi kuhesabika!’”
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.
Akalala pale usiku ule, miongoni mwa vitu alivyokuwa navyo, akachagua zawadi kwa ajili ya Esau ndugu yake:
14 200'a a' memeraminki, 20'a ve memeraminki, 200'a sipisipiraminki, 20'a ve sipisipiraminena zamavarenenteno,
Mbuzi waume ishirini na mbuzi wake 200, kondoo dume ishirini na kondoo wake 200.
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.
Ngamia wake thelathini pamoja na ndama zao, ngʼombe wake arobaini na mafahali kumi, punda wake ishirini na punda waume kumi.
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,
Akaviweka chini ya uangalizi wa watumishi wake, kila kundi peke yake na kuwaambia, “Nitangulieni na kuacha nafasi kati ya makundi.”
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,
Akamwagiza yule aliyetangulia kuwa, “Ndugu yangu Esau atakapokutana nawe na kukuuliza, ‘Wewe ni wa nani? Unakwenda wapi? Wanyama hawa wote mbele yako ni mali ya nani?’
18 amanage hunka asmio, eri'za vahekamofo Jekopu afutamine. Muse'za ramofo nefu Iso ami'zane, hagi agra henka tamage'a ne-e hiho.
Ndipo utakaposema, ‘Ni mali ya mtumishi wako Yakobo. Ni zawadi ambazo zimetumwa kwa bwana wangu Esau, naye anakuja nyuma yetu.’”
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.
Akamwagiza pia yule mtumishi wa kundi la pili, la tatu na yale mengine yote yaliyofuata akiwaambia, “Mtamwambia Esau maneno hayo hayo mtakapokutana naye.
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.
Hakikisheni mmesema, ‘Mtumishi wako Yakobo anakuja nyuma yetu.’” Kwa kuwa alifikiri, “Nitaweza kumtuliza kwa zawadi hizi ninazotanguliza, hatimaye, nitakapomwona, huenda atanikubali.”
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.
Kwa hiyo zawadi za Yakobo zilitangulia mbele yake, lakini yeye mwenyewe alilala kambini usiku ule.
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.
Usiku ule Yakobo akaamka akawachukua wake zake wawili, watumishi wake wawili wa kike na wanawe kumi na mmoja na akavuka kivuko cha Yaboki.
23 Zamavreno ome zamatreteno eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, maka afufenoma'a eri'za takahe'za vu'naze.
Baada ya kuwavusha ngʼambo ya kijito, alivusha pia mali zake zote.
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.
Kwa hiyo Yakobo akaachwa peke yake na mtu mmoja akashikana naye mweleka mpaka mapambazuko.
25 Ana ne'mo'ma keama Jekopuma agate'marega osuno'a, amumazinare regri'nea zaferinare ahegeno Jekopuna amumazinamo'a avazu hurami'ne.
Yule mtu alipoona kuwa hawezi kumshinda, aligusa kiungio cha nyonga ya Yakobo kwa hiyo nyonga yake ikateguka wakati alipokuwa akishikana mweleka na yule mtu.
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,
Ndipo yule mtu akasema, “Niache niende, kwa kuwa ni mapambazuko.” Lakini Yakobo akajibu, “Sitakuacha uende usiponibariki.”
27 ana ne'mo'a antahigeno, Kagi'a azage, higeno, Nagra Jekopu'ne huno asamigeno,
Yule mtu akamuuliza, “Jina lako nani?” Akajibu, “Yakobo.”
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.
Ndipo yule mtu akasema, “Jina lako halitakuwa tena Yakobo, bali Israeli, kwa sababu umeshindana na Mungu na watu pia, nawe umeshinda.”
29 Higeno Jekopu'a antahigeno, Muse (plis) hugantoanki kagika'a nasamio, huno antahigegeno, Na'anku Nagri nagigura nantahi negane? Nehuno anante asomu hunte'ne.
Yakobo akasema, “Tafadhali niambie jina lako.” Lakini akajibu, “Kwa nini kuniuliza Jina langu?” Ndipo akambariki huko.
30 Higeno Jekopu'a huno, Nagra Anumzamofo avufi koanagi ofri manue, nehuno Jekopu'a ana kumakura Penielie huno agi'a ante'ne.
Kwa hiyo Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli, akasema, “Ni kwa sababu nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso na bado maisha yangu yameokoka.”
31 Penieli kumara agateretegeno, zagemo'a hanati anamifi tegeno, revazmu revazmu huno vu'ne. Na'ankure amumazinamo'a ruvazu hu'negu anara hu'ne.
Jua lilikuwa linachomoza Yakobo alipoondoka Penueli, naye alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya nyonga yake.
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.
Kwa hiyo mpaka leo Waisraeli hawali mshipa ulioungana na kiungio cha nyonga, kwa sababu kiungio cha nyonga ya Yakobo kiliteguliwa karibu na mshipa huo.
