Genesis 32
1 Ke Jacob el som liki acn sac, oasr kutu lipufan lun God sonol.
Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney 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.
And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
3 Jacob el supwala kutu mwet utuk kas lal in som meet lukel nu yorol Esau, tamulel lal in facl Edom.
Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey 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.
To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
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 haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy 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.”
So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth 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.
Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
8 El nunku sel mu, “Esau el fin tuku ac mweuni u se meet ah, na u se saya ac ku in kaingla.”
For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall 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.
Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
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 not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
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.
I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
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.”
For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
13 Ouinge, el motulla we ke fong sac, ac el srela mwe lung nu sel Esau, ma lel, liki ma el us welul ah:
And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
14 nani mutan luofoko ac nani mukul longoul, sheep mutan luofoko ac ma mukul longoul,
Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
15 camel litop tolngoul ac natu natulos, cow mutan angngaul ac ma mukul singoul, donkey mutan longoul ac ma mukul singoul.
Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
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.”
So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
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?’
And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
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 thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
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.
So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde 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.”
And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
21 El supwala mwe kite ingan meet lukel, ac el motulla ke nien aktuktuk lal ke fong sac.
So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
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.
And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
23 Tukun el supwalosla tupalla infacl ah, el oayapa supwala ma nukewa lal,
And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
24 a el mukena muta. Na mwet se tuku apurak nu sel nwe ke na apkuran in lenelik.
Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
25 Ke mwet sac liye lah el ac kofla kutangulla, el liksreni tukya fonohl Jacob ac tusrilelik kupasr in fonohl.
And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
26 Na mwet sac fahk, “Filiyula ngan som. Akuranna lenelik.” Ac Jacob el fahk, “Nga ac tia filikomla nwe ke na kom akinsewowoyeyula.”
And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
27 Na mwet sac siyuk sel, “Su inem an?” Ac el fahk, “Jacob.”
Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
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 said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
29 Jacob el fahk, “Ac kom, su inem an?” Ac mwet sac fahk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek?” Na el akinsewowoyalla Jacob.
Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
30 Jacob el fahk, “Nga liye na pwaye God ke mutuk, ac nga srakna moul.” Ouinge el sang inen acn sac Peniel.
And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
31 Faht ah takak ke Jacob el som liki acn Peniel, ac el fahsr osak mweyen ngal fonohl.
And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
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 the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
