Kenehi 32
1 Na haere ana a Hakopa i tona huarahi, a ka tutaki ki a ia nga anahera a te Atua.
When, Jacob, had gone on his way, there met him, messengers of God.
2 A ka mea a Hakopa i tona kitenga i a ratou, Ko te ope tenei a te Atua: na huaina iho e ia te ingoa o tena wahi ko Mahanaima.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, the camp of God, is this! So he called the name of that place, Mahanaim.
3 Na ka tono tangata atu a Hakopa ki mua i a ia ki a Ehau, ki tona tuakana, ki te whenua o Heira, ki te whenua o Eroma.
Then did Jacob send messengers before him unto Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 Ka ako hoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Kia penei he korero atu ma koutou ki toku ariki, ki a Ehau; E penei ana te kupu a tau pononga, a Hakopa, I a Rapana ahau e noho ana a tae mai ki tenei wa;
And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until now:
5 He kau ano aku, he kaihe, he hipi, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine: a kua tono tangata nei ahau ki te korero ki toku ariki, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe.
And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men-servants, and maid-servants, So I must needs send to tell my lord, that I might find favour in thine eyes.
6 Na ka hoki mai nga karere ki a Hakopa, ka mea, I tae atu matou ki tou tuakana, ki a Ehau, a tenei ano ia te haere mai nei ki te whakatau i a koe, ratou tahi ko nga tangata e wha rau.
And the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying, —We came in unto thy brother unto Esau, moreover also he is on his way to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Na he nui te wehi o Hakopa, ka manukanuka; na ka wehea e ia ona tangata, me nga hipi, me nga kau, me nga kamera, kia rua nga ropu;
Then was Jacob greatly afraid, and in distress. So he divided the people that were with him and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two camps,
8 I mea hoki ia, Ki te tae mai a Ehau ki te ropu tuatahi, a ka patua e ia, na, ka mawhiti te ropu i mahue.
And he said. Should Esau come upon the one camp, and smite it, yet shall the camp that is left escape.
9 Na ka mea a Hakopa, E te Atua o toku papa, o Aperahama, e te Atua o toku papa, o Ihaka, e Ihowa, nau nei te kupu ki ahau, Hoki atu ki tou whenua, ki ou whanaunga hoki, a ka pai taku mahi ki a koe:
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, —Yahweh, who wast saying unto me, —Return to thy land and to thy kindred that I may deal well with thee:
10 He iti rawa ahau, he nui au arohatanga katoa, me te pono katoa hoki i whakaputaina mai e koe ki tau pononga; i whiti mai hoki ahau me toku tokotoko i tenei Horano; a ka rua nei oku ropu.
I am too small for all the lovingkindnesses and for all the faithfulness, which thou hast done unto thy servant, —For with my staff, passed I over this Jordan, But, now, have I become two camps.
11 Tena ra, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o toku tuakana, i te ringa o Ehau; e wehi ana hoki ahau i a ia, kei haere mai ia ki te patu i ahau, i te whaea ratou tahi ko nga tamariki.
Deliver me I pray thee out of the hand of my brother out of the hand of Esau, for I, am afraid of him, lest he come in and smite mother as well as sons
12 I mea mai nei hoki koe, Ina, ka pai taku mahi ki a koe, a ka meinga e ahau ou uri kia rite ki te onepu o te moana, e kore nei e taea te tatau i te tini.
But, thou thyself, saidst, —I will deal well with thee. So will I make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not to be counted, for multitude.
13 A i moe ia ki reira i taua po; a i tangohia e ia i roto i nga mea i pono ki tona ringa he hakari ma Ehau, ma tona tuakana;
And he tarried there that night, and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother:
14 E rua rau nga koati hua, e rua tekau hoki nga koati toa, e rua rau nga hipi uha, e rua tekau nga hipi toa,
She-goats, two hundred; And he-goats, twenty; Ewes, two hundred; And rams, twenty;
15 E toru tekau nga kamera whai waiu, me a ratou kuao, e wha tekau nga kau, kotahi tekau hoki nga puru, e rua tekau nga kaihe uha, me nga kuao hoki kotahi tekau.
Milch camels, with their colts, thirty; Cows, forty; And bulls, ten; She-asses, twenty; And young he asses ten.
16 A ka hoatu e ia ki nga ringa o ana pononga tenei kahui, tenei kahui, motumotu rawa; ka mea ia ki ana pononga, Haere i mua i ahau, kia whai takiwa tetahi kahui, tetahi kahui.
And he gave them into the hand of his Servants, each drove by itself, and said unto his servants—Pass over before me, and, a breathing-space, shall ye put betwixt drove and drove.
17 I ako ano ia i te tuatahi, i mea, E tutaki a Ehau, toku tuakana, i a koe, e mea, Na wai koe? a e haere ana koe ki hea? a na wai enei mea i tou aroaro?
And he commanded the first one saying: When Esau my brother shall fall in with thee, and shall ask thee, saying Whose art thou? and whither wouldst thou go? and to whom belong these before thee?
18 Na ka mea atu koe, Na tau pononga, na Hakopa; i homai e ia hei hakari ma toku ariki, ma Ehau; a tenei ano hoki ia kei muri i a matou.
then shalt thou say, To thy servant Jacob: It is, a present, sent to my lord, to Esau; And behold he himself also is behind us,
19 He pera ano tana ako ki te tuarua, ki te tuatoru hoki, ki nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere i muri i nga kahui, i mea ia, Ko te tikanga tenei mo nga kupu e korero ai koutou ki a Ehau, ina tutaki ki a ia;
And he commanded the second also, and the third yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying, —According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 A me ki atu e koutou, Na, tenei ano hoki tau pononga, a Hakopa, kei muri i a matou. I mea hoki ia, Me whakamarie ia e ahau ki te hakari e haere ana i mua i ahau, a, muri iho ka kite ahau i tona kanohi; tera pea ia e manako ki ahau.
Then shall ye say, Also, lo! thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said: I must pacify him with the present that goeth on before me. And, after that, will I see his face: Peradventure he will accept me.
21 Na ka haere atu te hakari i mua i a ia: a ko ia i moe i taua po i te puni.
So the present passed over before him, —whereas he himself tarried that night in the camp.
22 A i whakatika ia i taua po, i tango hoki i ana wahine tokorua, me ana wahine pononga tokorua, me ana tamariki tekau ma tahi, a ka whiti i te whitinga i Iapoko.
And he arose in that night and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, —and passed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 A i tango ia i a ratou, i mea hoki kia whiti i te awa, a i tukuna atu e ia kia whiti nga mea i a ia.
So he took them, and sent them over the brook, —and sent over that which he had.
24 A i mahue iho a Hakopa ko ia anake; a nonoke ana raua ko tetahi tangata, a takiri noa te ata.
And Jacob was left alone, —and there wrestled a man with him, until the uprisings of the dawn.
25 A, no te kitenga o tera kihai ia i taea e ia, ka pa ia ki te ateatenga o tona huha; a ka takoki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa i a raua e nonoke ana.
And when he saw, that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, —and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was put out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 Na ka mea ia, Tukua ahau, kua takiri hoki te ata. A ka mea ia, E kore koe e tukua e ahau, kia manaakitia ra ano ahau e koe.
Then said he—Let me go, for uprisen hath the dawn. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou have blessed me
27 A ka mea ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? A ka mea ia, Ko Hakopa.
Then he said unto him—What is thy name? And he said—Jacob.
28 A ka mea ia, Heoi ano kianga ko Hakopa tou ingoa, engari ko Iharaira: no te mea kua tohe koe ki te Atua, ki te tangata hoki, a i a koe ano te mutunga.
Then he said—Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but Israel, —For thou hast contended with God and with men and hast prevailed.
29 Na ka ui a Hakopa, ka mea, Tena koa, korerotia mai tou ingoa. Ano ra ko ia, He aha toku ingoa i uia ai e koe? a ka manaaki ia i a ia i reira.
Then asked Jacob and said, Do, I pray thee, tell me thy name! And he said—Wherefore now, shouldest thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there,
30 Na huaina ana e Hakopa te ingoa o taua wahi ko Peniere: i mea hoki ia, Moku i titiro ki te Atua, he kanohi, he kanohi, a kei te ora nei ahau.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; For I saw God face to face; and my soul was delivered,
31 A i tara mai te ra ki a ia i a ia ka whiti i Penuere, kei te toitoti ano tona huha.
And the sun rose on him as soon as he had passed over Penuel, —he, moreover was halting upon his thigh,
32 Koia nga tama a Iharaira te kai ai i te uaua i memenge, ara i tera i te ateatenga o te huha, a tae noa ki tenei ra: no te mea hoki i pa ia ki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa, ki te uaua i memenge.
For this cause, the sons of Israel eat not of the nerve of the large hip-sinew, which is by the hollow of the thigh, until this day, —because he touched the hollow of the thigh of Jacob, in the nerve of the hip-sinew.
