Genesisy 32
1 Nanonjohy i lia’ey t’Iakòbe le nifanalaka ama’e o anjelin’ Añahareo;
And Jacob went on his way, and the agents of God met him.
2 aa ie niisa’ Iakòbe le nanao ty hoe, Toben’Añahare itoy, le natao’e ty hoe Makanaime i toetse zay.
And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Nirahe’ Iakòbe ty hiaolo aze mb’ amy Esave rahalahi’e mb’an-tane Seira, tane’ i Edome añe,
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 le nafanto’e ami’ty hoe, Endeso mb’amy talèko Esave añe o entañe zao, Hoe ty enta’ Iakòbe mpitoro’o, Nañialo amy Labàne ao iraho, le nitambatse añe ampara’ henane;
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau, Thus says thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 Amañ’ añombe naho borìke, mpirai-lia naho ondevo ampela naho lahy; le nampihitrifeko mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo ty saontsy hahatreavako fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o.
And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants. And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
6 Nibalike mb’am’Iakòbe i ìrake rey nitalily ty hoe, Nivotrak’ amy Esave rahalahi’o zahay, le mb’etoan-dre hifanalaka ama’o rekets’ondaty efa-jato.
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Nirevendreveñe naho nangebahebak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe; le zinara’e ho lia roe ze hene ondaty ama’eo naho o mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo vaho o ramevao
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 fa hoe re, Aa naho pok’ami’ty lia-raike t’i Esave vaho horidañe’e, le hifiora’ i sehanga’ey.
And he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and smites it, then the company which is left shall escape.
9 Le hoe t’Iakòbe, O ry Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame raeko naho Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke raeko, ry Iehovà nanao tamako ty hoe, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’o mb’amo longo’oo mb’eo vaho hanoako soa.
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who said to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,
10 Tsy mañeva ahiko ty piliti’e amo fiferenaiña’oo naho amo figahiña’o amo mpitoro’oo, kanao reketse kobaiñe Iraho te nitsake ty Iordane toy vaho fa aman-dia’e roe henaneo.
I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou have shown to thy servant, for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.
11 Mihalaly ama’o, hahao am-pitàn-drahalahiko, am-pità’ i Esave, fa ihembañako, hera homb’eto re handafa ahy naho rakemba reketse keleiañe.
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau. For I fear him, lest he comes and smites me, the mother with the sons.
12 Ihe fa nitsara ty hoe, Toe hañasoa azo iraho, vaho hampiraeko amo fasen-driakeo o tarira’oo, ze tsy mete iaheñe ty amo fifamorohota’eo.
And thou said, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Aa le nitobe eo re amy haleñey, vaho nilivae’e amo raha rinambem-pità’eo ty ho ravoravo amy Esave zoke’e:
And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
14 ose-vave roanjato, naho oselahy roa-polo, añondri-vave roanjato naho añondri-lahy roapolo,
two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 rameva minono rekets’ ana’e telopolo, añombe-vave efapolo, añombe-lahy folo, borìke vave roapolo, vaho ana-borìke folo.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-donkeys and ten foals.
16 Natolo’e an-taña’ o mpitoro’eo irezay, sindre lia’e, vaho hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Iaolò Iraho naho adaradiso ami’ty lia-raike ty lia-raike.
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.
17 Le hoe re amy aoloy, Ie mifanampe ama’o t’i Esave zokeko, manao ty hoe, Ama’ia irehe? Homb’aia v’iheo? vaho ho ama’ ia o aolo’oo?
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose are thou? And where do thou go? And whose are these before thee?
18 le hoe ty hatoi’o: A i Iakòbe mpitoro’oy, ravoravo nampisangitrife’e amy Esave talekoy; Indroy ie! manonjohy anay.
Then thou shall say, Thy servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And, behold, he also is behind us.
19 Izay ty nafanto’e amy faharoey naho amy fahateloy, vaho amo nanonjohy i mpirai-lia rey iabio, ami’ty hoe: Ty hoe zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Esave te mizo aze
And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all who followed the herds, saying, On this manner shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him,
20 le tovoño ty hoe, Ingo, manonjohy anay t’Iakòbe mpitoro’o; ty amy asa’e ty hoe, Hampanintsiñeko amo ravoravo miaolo ahio ty haviñera’e; ie añe le ho treako ty lahara’e, ke ho no’e.
and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.
21 Aa le nitsake aolo’ aze i banabana’ey, ie nialeñe an-kialo atoy.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself lodged that night in the company.
22 Nitroatse amy haleñey re, ninday i vali’e roe rey naho i mpitoro’e roe rey, vaho i ana-dahy folo-raik’ amby rey nitsake ami’ty fitsaha’ Iabòke.
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Nasese’e mb’eo naho nampitsahe’e i torahañey vaho nampitsahe’e ze tama’e.
And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Aa le nidoke ho vahiny t’Iakòbe vaho nigarabiñe ama’e ty lahilahy ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray.
And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
25 Ie nioni’e te tsy hahagiok’ aze, le pinao’e ty fikatsoha’ ty moja’e, vaho nikatsoke ty moja’ Iakòbe amy fifandrapaha’ey.
And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained as he wrestled with him.
26 Le hoe re, Avotsoro fa hanjirike i àndroy. Fe hoe re, Tsy havotsoko naho tsy itata’o hey.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.
27 Aa le nanoa’e ty hoe, Ia ty añara’o? Iakòbe, hoe re.
And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Le hoe re, Tsy hatao Iakòbe ka ty tahina’o, fa Israele, amy t’ie nifanehak’ aman’ Andrianañahare naho am’ondatio vaho nahatañe.
And he said, Thy name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for thou have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.
29 Hoe ty nañontanea’ Iakòbe, Ehe, itsarao ty tahina’o. Fa hoe re, Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako? Le nitata’e eo.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why is it that thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there.
30 Aa le natao’ Iakòbe ty hoe Penoele i toetsey, ami’ty hoe, Nifañatre-daharañe aman’ Añahare iraho, fe narova’e ty fiaiko.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 Nanjirike i àndroy t’ie nitsake e Penoele ty amy moja’ey.
And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
32 Aa le tsy fikamà’ o nte-Israeleo pake henane ty oza’ i moja mipitek’ am-pikatsohañey, amy te nipaohe’e ty oza’ i fikatsoha’ i moja’ Iakòbey ami’ty lahin-oza’ i tohakeiy.
Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.
