Genesisy 32
1 Ary Jakoba nizotra tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany, dia nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra nitsena azy.
And Jacob went on his way, and there met him angels of God.
2 Ary hoy Jakoba, raha nahita ireo: Tobin’ Andriamanitra ity; ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe Mahanaima.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is a host of God; and he called the name of that place Machanayim.
3 Ary nandefa iraka Jakoba hialoha azy ho any amin’ i Esao rahalahiny, ho any Seïra, tanin’ i Edoma.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 Ary nanome teny azy izy ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Esao tompoko: Izao no tenin’ i Jakoba mpanomponao: Efa nivahiny tany amin’ i Labana aho ka nitoetra tany mandraka ankehitriny;
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord, to Esau, Thus hath said thy servant Jacob, With Laban have I sojourned, and stayed until now.
5 ary manana omby sy boriky sy ondry aman’ osy ary andevolahy aho; dia efa mba naniraka hanambara aminao tompokolahy ihany aho mba hahitako fitia eo imasonao.
And I have acquired oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants; and I send now to tell my lord, to find grace in thy eyes.
6 Dia niverina tany amin’ i Jakoba ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Tafahaona tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao izahay, ary izy koa dia avy hitsena anao mitondra olona efa-jato lahy.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Dia natahotra indrindra Jakoba ka poritra dia poritra; dia nozarainy roa toko ny olona izay nomba azy mbamin’ ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ary ny rameva;
Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he felt distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two bands.
8 fa hoy izy: Raha tafahaona amin’ ny antokony anankiray Esao ka mamely azy, dia handositra kosa ny antokony anankiray.
And he said, If Esau should come to the one band and smite it, then the other band which is left may escape.
9 Ary hoy Jakoba: E Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama raiko, sady Andriamanitr’ Isaka raiko, dia Jehovah Izay efa nanao tamiko hoe: Modia any amin’ ny taninao sy any amin’ ny havanao dia hanao soa aminao Aho;
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy birthplace, and I will deal well with thee:
10 tsy mendrika ho nahazo na kely akory aza aho tamin’ ny famindram-po rehetra sy ny fahamarinana rehetra, izay nataonao tamiko mpanomponao; fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona afa-tsy ny tehiko ihany aho fony nita ity Jordana ity; nefa ankehitriny efa tonga toby roa aho.
I am not worthy of all the kindness, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 O vonjeo aho amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiko, dia amin’ ny tànan’ i Esao; fa matahotra azy aho, fandrao avy mamely ahy mbamin’ ny vadiko aman-janako izy.
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, the mother with the children.
12 Fa Hianao efa nanao hoe: Hanisy soa anao tokoa Aho, ka hataoko maro ny taranakao ho tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, izay tsy azo isaina noho ny hamaroany.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Dia nitoetra teo izy tamin’ iny alina iny; ary naka tamin’ izay teo an-tànany izy mba hampanaterina ho an’ i Esao rahalahiny,
And he lodged there that same night; and he took of that which he carried with him a present for Esau his brother:
14 dia osivavy roan-jato sy osilahy roa-polo, ondrivavy roan-jato sy ondrilahy roa-polo
Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams.
15 ary rameva telo-polo ampianahany, vantotr’ ombivavy efa-polo sy vantotr’ ombilahy folo, borikivavy roa-polo ary zana-boriky folo.
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals.
16 Dia natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony ireny, mitokantokana isan-toko; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Mandehana eo alohako, ary asio elanelany eo amin’ ny isan-toko.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said unto his servants, Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 Dia nanome teny ny voalohany izy ka nanao hoe: Raha mifanena aminao Esao rahalahiko ka manontany anao hoe: An’ iza ianao? ary hankaiza moa? ary an’ iza ireo alohanao?
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother should meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither art thou going? and for whom are these before thee?
18 dia lazaonao hoe: An’ i Jakoba mpanomponao ireo, dia zavatra nampanaterina ho an’ itompokolahy Esao; ary indro koa izy ao aorianay ao.
Then shalt thou say, They belong to thy servant, to Jacob; it is a present sent unto my lord, to Esau; and, behold, also, he is himself behind us.
19 Ary nanome teny ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo koa izy, ary izay rehetra nandeha nanaraka ny isan-toko, ka nanao hoe: Araka izany teny izany no lazaonareo amin’ i Esao, raha hitanareo izy.
And so he commanded also the second, also the third, as also all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 Ary lazao hoe koa: Indro, Jakoba mpanomponao ao aorianay ao. Fa hoy izy: Hampionona ny hatezerany aho amin’ ireo zavatra nampialohaviko ireo, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao hahita ny tavany aho; angamba hahazo fitia aminy aho.
And say ye moreover, Behold, also thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will receive me kindly.
21 Ary dia lasa nialoha azy ireny zavatra nampanateriny ireny; fa izy mbola nitoetra teo amin’ ny toby ihany tamin’ iny alina iny.
The present went thus on before him; and he lodged himself that night in the camp.
22 Dia nitsangana tamin’ iny alina iny ihany izy ka nitondra ny vadiny roa vavy sy ny ankizivaviny roa ary ny zananilahy iraika ambin’ ny folo, dia nita tamin’ ny fitàna tao Jaboka izy.
And he rose up that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.
23 Ary naka azy ireo izy, dia nampita azy tamin’ ny renirano, ary nampita ny fananany koa izy.
And he took them, and sent them over the stream and sent over what he had.
24 Dia Jakoba irery no sisa nitoetra teo; ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nitolona taminy ambara-pahazavaratsin’ ny andro.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 Ary rehefa hitany fa tsy naharesy azy izy, dia notendreny ny foto-peny; ka dia nivika ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba, raha mbola nitolona taminy Izy.
And when he saw that he could net prevail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him.
26 Ary hoy Izy: Avelao Aho handeha, fa efa mazavaratsy ny andro. Fa hoy kosa Jakoba: Tsy havelako handeha Hianao, raha tsy tahinao aho.
And he said, Let me go, for the day hath dawned. And he said, I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me.
27 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no anaranao? dia hoy izy: Jakoba.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? and he said, Jacob.
28 Ary hoy indray Izy: Tsy hatao hoe Jakoba intsony ny anaranao, fa Isiraely; satria efa nitolona tamin’ Andriamanitra sy tamin’ ny olona ianao ka nahery.
And he said, Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 Dia nanontany Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Masìna Hianao, lazao kely izay anaranao. Ary hoy Izy: Ahoana no anontanianao ny anarako? Dia nitahy azy teo Izy.
And Jacob asked him, and said, tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataon’ i Jakoba hoe Peniela; fa, hoy izy, efa nahita an’ Andriamanitra nifanatrika tamiko aho, nefa voavonjy ny aiko.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen an angel of God face to face, and my life hath been preserved.
31 Dia niposaka taminy ny masoandro, raha niala teo Peniela izy, ary nitolitsika izy noho ny feny.
And the sun rose unto him as he passed by Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Izany no tsy ihinanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny ozatry ny atodiakanga mandraka androany; satria nanendry ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba teo amin’ ny ozatry ny atodiakanga Izy.
Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
