1 याकूब पनि आफ्नो बाटो लागे, र परमेश्‍वरका दूतहरूले तिनीसित भेट गरे ।
And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
2 याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “यो त परमेश्‍वरको शिविर हो ।” त्यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ महनोम राखे ।
and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, 'This [is] the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place 'Two Camps.'
3 याकूबले एदोमको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने सेइर देशमा आफ्ना दाजु एसावकहाँ आफूभन्दा अगिअगि सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए ।
And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले मेरा मालिक एसावलाई यसो भन्‍नेछौः तपाईंका दास याकूब यसो भन्छन्, 'म लाबानसित बस्दै आएकोले अहिलेसम्म आउन ढिलो भएको हो ।
and commandeth them, saying, 'Thus do ye say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and I tarry until now;
5 मेरा गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, बगालहरू, कमारा-कमारीहरू छन् । तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा मैले निगाह पाउन सकूँ भनी मैले मेरा मालिकलाई यो खबर पठाएको छु' ।”
and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'
6 याकूबकहाँ फर्की सन्देशवाहकहरूले यसो भने, “हामी तपाईंका दाजु एसावकहाँ गयौँ । उहाँ चार सय जना मानिससहित तपाईंलाई भेट्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And the messengers turn back unto Jacob, saying, 'We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him;'
7 तब याकूब ज्यादै भयभीत भए र आत्तिए । त्यसैले तिनले आफूसित भएका मानिसहरू, बगालहरू, बथानहरू र ऊँटहरूलाई दल-दल गरी दुई भागमा विभाजन गरे ।
and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 तिनले भने, “एसावले आएर एउटा दललाई अाक्रमण गरे भने बाँकी रहेको दल भाग्‍नेछ ।
and saith, 'If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have smitten it — then the camp which is left hath been for an escape.'
9 याकूबले भने, “मेरा पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्‍वर, मेरा पिता इसहाकका परमेश्‍वर यहोवेले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'तेरो देश र तेरो कुटुम्बकहाँ फर्केर जा, म तेरो उन्‍नति गराउनेछु ।'
And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:
10 तपाईंका दासको निम्ति तपाईंले गर्नुभएका करारको विश्‍वासयोग्यता र भरोसाका सबै कार्यको निम्ति म योग्यको छैनँ । किनकि यही लौरो लिएर मात्र मैले यर्दन तरेँ, र अहिले मेरा दुईवटा दल छन् ।
I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant — for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 कृपया, मलाई मेरा दाजु एसावको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुहोस् किनकि तिनी आएर मलगायत मेरी पत्‍नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्छन् कि भनेर म तिनीदेखि डराएको छु ।
'Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me — mother beside sons;
12 तर तपाईंले भन्‍नुभयो, 'निश्‍चय नै, म तेरो उन्‍नति गराउनेछु । म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्‍नै नसकिने गरी समुद्रको बालुवासरह तुल्याउनेछु' ।”
and Thou — Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'
13 त्यस रात याकूब त्यहीँ बसे । आफ्ना दाजु एसावलाई उपहारस्वरूप दिनलाई तिनले आफूसित भएका केही थोकहरू अलग गरे जुन यिनै थिएः
And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother:
14 दुई सयवटा बाख्री, बिसवटा बोका,
she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
15 तिसवटा दुध दिने ऊँट र तिनीहरूका बच्‍चा, चालिसवटा गाई र दसवटा साँढे, बिसवटा गधैनी र दसवटा गधा ।
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
16 तिनले बथान-बथान गरी यी सबै आफ्ना कमाराहरूको जिम्मा लगाइदिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र हरेक बथानको बिचमा खाली ठाउँ राख ।”
and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.'
17 तिनले पहिलो कमारोलाई यसो भन्दै निर्देशन दिए, “मेरा दाजु एसावले तँलाई भेटेर 'तँ कसको होस्? तँ कहाँ जाँदै छस्? तेरो अगिअगि आएका यी पशुहरू कसका हुन्? भनेर सोधे भने
And he commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
18 तैँले यसो भन्, 'यी तपाईंका दास याकूबका हुन् । यी मेरा मालिक याकूबलाई उपहारस्वरूप पठाइएका हुन् । हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँ पनि हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।”
then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind us.'
19 दोस्रो दल, तेस्रो दल अनि बगालहरूको पछिपछि लाग्‍ने सबै मानिसलाई पनि याकूबले निर्देशन दिए । तिनले भने, “तिमीहरूले एसावलाई भेट्दा उही कुरो भन्‍नू ।
And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him,
20 तिमीहरूले यसो पनि भन्‍नू, 'तपाईंका दास याकूब हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।” किनकि तिनले यस्तो सोचे, “मैले मेरो अगिअगि पठाएका उपहारहरूले म तिनलाई खुसी पार्नेछु । त्यसपछि मैले तिनलाई भेट्दा सायद तिनले मलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।”
and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'
21 त्यसैले उपहारहरू तिनको अगिअगि पठाइए । तिनी आफैचाहिँ त्यस रात शिविरमा नै बसे ।
and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
22 रातमा याकूब निद्राबाट ब्युँझे । आफ्ना दुई पत्‍नी, तिनीहरूका कमारीहरू र एघार जना छोरा लिएर तिनी प्रस्थान गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यब्बोक खोला पारि पठाए ।
And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of Jabbok;
23 यसरी तिनले आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्ति खोला पारि पठाए ।
and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
24 याकूब एक्लै रहे, र एक जना मानिसले तिनीसित सूर्योदय नभएसम्म कुस्ती खेले ।
And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
25 ती मानिसले याकूबलाई जित्‍न नसक्‍ने देखेपछि तिनले याकूबको कम्मरको खोक्रो भागमा प्रहार गरे । याकूब तिनीसित कुस्ती खेल्दा तिनको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्क्यो ।
and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with him;
26 ती मानिसले भने, “मलाई जान देऊ किनकि उज्यालो हुँदै छ ।” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आशिष् नदिउञ्‍जेलसम्म म तपाईंलाई जान दिन्‍नँ ।”
and he saith, 'Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, 'I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'
27 ती मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो नाउँ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “याकूब ।”
And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
28 ती मानिसले भने, “अबदेखि उसो तिम्रो नाउँ याकूब नभई इस्राएल हुनेछ । किनकि तिमीले परमेश्‍वर र मानिसहरूसित कुस्ती खेली जित हासिल गरेका छौ ।”
And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
29 याकूबले तिनलाई सोधे, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको नाउँ बताइदिनुहोस् ।” तिनले भने, “किन तिमी मेरो नाउँ सोध्छौ?” त्यसपछि त्यहाँ तिनले याकूबलाई आशिष् दिए ।
And Jacob asketh, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, 'Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth him there.
30 याकूबले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ पनीएल राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “मैले परमेश्‍वरलाई आमने-सामने देखेर पनि मेरो ज्यान जोगिएको छ ।”
And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
31 याकूबले पनीएल पार गर्दा सूर्योदय भइसकेको थियो । तिनको कम्मरको कारणले गर्दा तिनी खोच्याएर हिँड्दै थिए ।
and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
32 यसैकारण आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कम्मरको नसा खाँदैनन् किनकि ती मानिसले याकूबको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्काउँदा ती नसाहरूमा चोट पुर्‍याएका थिए ।
therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
