Genesis 32
1 Ke Jacob el som liki acn sac, oasr kutu lipufan lun God sonol.
Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Ke el liyalosyak el fahk, “Acn in aktuktuk se lun God pa inge.” Ke ma inge el sang inen acn sac Mahanaim.
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3 Jacob el supwala kutu mwet utuk kas lal in som meet lukel nu yorol Esau, tamulel lal in facl Edom.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 El sap elos in fahk nu sel Esau ouinge: “Nga Jacob, mwet kulansap lom, tukakinyu nu sum, Esau, mwet kacto luk, lah nga tuh som muta yorol Laban, ac nga tuh ikolla pacl in folok luk nwe ke pacl se inge.
He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.
5 Oasr cow, donkey, sheep, ac nani nutik, oayapa mwet kulansap luk mukul ac mutan. Nga supwaot kas luk nu sum, mwet kacto luk, ac finsrak mu in oasr kulang lom nu sik.”
I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 Ke mwet utuk kas inge foloko nu yorol Jacob elos fahk, “Kut tuh som nu yorol Esau tamulel lom, ac el mukuiyak tari in tuku osun nu sum. Oasr mwet angfoko lal welul.”
When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”
7 Jacob el sangeng ac fosrnga. El kitalik mwet ma welul ah nu ke u luo, oayapa sheep, nani, cow, ac camel natul uh.
In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
8 El nunku sel mu, “Esau el fin tuku ac mweuni u se meet ah, na u se saya ac ku in kaingla.”
He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
9 Na Jacob el pre, “O God lal Abraham papa matu tumuk, ac God lal Isaac papa tumuk, porongeyu! LEUM GOD, kom tuh fahk nu sik mu nga in folokla nu yen sik ac nu yurin mwet luk, ac kom ac fah akwoye ma nukewa nu sik.
Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’
10 Nga kupansuwol nu ke lupan kulang nukewa ac oaru lom su kom akkalemye nu sik, mwet kulansap lom. Ke nga som ah, nga fahsr alukela Infacl Jordan, wangin ma nga us sayen sikal soko, a inge nga foloko wi u luo inge.
I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
11 Nga pre nu sum, ac siyuk kom in moliyula lukel Esau, tamulel luk. Nga sangeng ac sensen mu el ac tuku mweuni kut ac sikikutla nufon, nwe ke mutan ac tulik inge.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.
12 Esam lah kom tuh wulema mu kom ac oru ma nukewa in fahsr wo nu sik, ac ase fwilin tulik puspis nutik su wangin mwet ac ku in oakla, mweyen elos ac pukanten oana puk wekof uh.”
But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
13 Ouinge, el motulla we ke fong sac, ac el srela mwe lung nu sel Esau, ma lel, liki ma el us welul ah:
Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
14 nani mutan luofoko ac nani mukul longoul, sheep mutan luofoko ac ma mukul longoul,
200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
15 camel litop tolngoul ac natu natulos, cow mutan angngaul ac ma mukul singoul, donkey mutan longoul ac ma mukul singoul.
30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
16 El kitalik kosro inge nu ke u, ac filiya kais sie mwet kulansap lal in karingin kais sie un kosro. El fahk nu selos, “Fahsrot fahsr meet likiyu, ac oru in oasr masrol ke un kosro nukewa.”
He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
17 El sap nu sin mwet kulansap se ma fahsr oemeet, ac fahk, “Esau, ma lik, el fin sun kom ac siyuk, ‘Su mwet kacto lom uh? Kom ac som nu ya? Ac nutin su kosro ma kom pwen inge?’
He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’
18 kom fah topuk, ‘Ma natul Jacob, mwet kulansap lom. El supu nu yorol Esau, leum lal, tuh in sie mwe kite nu sel. Jacob el a fahsru tokosr uh.’”
then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”
19 El fahk oana inge nu sin el su akluo, aktolu, ac nu selos nukewa saya ma karingin kais sie u in kosro uh. “Pa inge ma kowos ac fahk nu sel Esau ke pacl se kowos ac sonol.
He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
20 Kowos enenu in fahk, ‘Aok, Jacob mwet kulansap lom el a na tokosr uh.’ Jacob el nunku sel sifacna mu, “Nga ac aklungyal ke mwe kite inge, ac ke pacl se nga ac osun nu sel uh, sahp el ac nunak munas nu sik.”
You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
21 El supwala mwe kite ingan meet lukel, ac el motulla ke nien aktuktuk lal ke fong sac.
So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22 In fong sacna, Jacob el tukakek, eis mutan luo kial, mutan kulansap luo kial, ac tulik singoul sie natul, ac fahsr tupalla Infacl Jabbok.
During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Tukun el supwalosla tupalla infacl ah, el oayapa supwala ma nukewa lal,
He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24 a el mukena muta. Na mwet se tuku apurak nu sel nwe ke na apkuran in lenelik.
So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25 Ke mwet sac liye lah el ac kofla kutangulla, el liksreni tukya fonohl Jacob ac tusrilelik kupasr in fonohl.
When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
26 Na mwet sac fahk, “Filiyula ngan som. Akuranna lenelik.” Ac Jacob el fahk, “Nga ac tia filikomla nwe ke na kom akinsewowoyeyula.”
Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Na mwet sac siyuk sel, “Su inem an?” Ac el fahk, “Jacob.”
“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28 Na mwet sac sifilpa fahk, “Inem ac fah tia sifilpa pangpang Jacob. Kom amei yurin God ac yurin mwet, ac kom kutangla. Ke ma inge inem ac fah pangpang Israel.”
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
29 Jacob el fahk, “Ac kom, su inem an?” Ac mwet sac fahk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek?” Na el akinsewowoyalla Jacob.
And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
30 Jacob el fahk, “Nga liye na pwaye God ke mutuk, ac nga srakna moul.” Ouinge el sang inen acn sac Peniel.
So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 Faht ah takak ke Jacob el som liki acn Peniel, ac el fahsr osak mweyen ngal fonohl.
The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 Fwilin tulik natul Israel uh tia kang ikwa ma oan fin kupasr ke fonoh nwe misenge, mweyen acn se inge pa tukyuki kacl Jacob ah.
Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
