Uumama 32
1 Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufe; ergamoonni Waaqayyoos isatti dhufan.
And Jacob went on his way, and the agents of God met him.
2 Innis yommuu isaan argetti, “Kun buufata Waaqaa ti” jedhe; iddoo sanas Mahanayiim jedhee moggaase.
And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Yaaqoobis gara obboleessa isaa Esaawu kan biyya Edoom lafa Seeʼiir jedhamu keessa jiraatuutti ergamoota of dura erge.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 Innis akkana jedhee isaan ajaje: “Isin gooftaa koo Esaawuun akkana jedhaa: ‘Garbichi kee Yaaqoob akkana jedha; ani Laabaa bira jiraadhee hamma ammaattis isuma biran ture.
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 Ani loonii fi harroota, hoolotaa fi reʼoota, hojjettoota dhiiraatii fi dubartootas qaba. Ammas ani fuula kee duratti surraa akkan argadhuuf ergaa kana gooftaa kootti nan erga.’”
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 Ergamoonni sunis gara Yaaqoobitti deebiʼanii, “Nu obboleessa kee Esaawu bira dhaqneerra; innis si simachuuf dhufaa jira; namoonni dhibba afur isa wajjin jiru” jedhaniin.
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 Yaaqoobis akka malee sodaatee dhiphate; namoota isa wajjin turanis garee lamatti qoode; bushaayee, loowwanii fi gaalawwan illee akkasuma garee lamatti qoode.
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 Innis, “Yoo Esaawu dhufee garee tokko dhaʼe, gareen kaan jalaa baʼa” jedhee yaade.
And he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and smites it, then the company which is left shall escape.
9 Yaaqoob akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqa abbaa koo Abrahaam, Waaqa abbaa koo Yisihaaq, yaa Waaqayyo, isa ‘Ati gara biyya keetii fi gara firoota keetiitti deebiʼi, ani waan gaarii siifin godhaa’ naan jette sun,
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 ani gaarummaa fi amanamummaa ati ana garbicha kee argisiifte kana hundaaf hin malu. Ani yeroo Yordaanos kana ceʼetti ulee koo qofa qaban ture; amma garuu garee lama taʼeen jira.
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 Ani akka ati harka obboleessa koo Esaawu jalaa na baastu sin kadhadha. Ani, ‘Inni dhufee na ajjeesa; haadhotas ijoollee isaanii wajjin ni ajjeesa’ jedhee sodaadheeraatii.
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 Ati garuu, ‘Ani dhugumaan waan gaarii siifin godha; sanyii kees akka cirracha galaanaa kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye sanaa nan godha’ jetteerta.”
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 Inni halkan sana achuma bule; waan of biraa qabu keessaas kennaa obboleessa isaa Esaawuuf kennu filate;
And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
14 isaanis reʼoota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii reʼee digdama, hoolota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii hoolaa digdama,
two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 gaalawwan dhalaa soddoma ilmaan isaanii wajjin, saawwan afurtama, jiboota loonii kudhan, harroota dhaltuu digdama, wadala harrootaa kudhan turan.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-donkeys and ten foals.
16 Innis karra karraan addaan baasee tajaajiltoota isaatti kennee, “Na dura darbaa deemaa; karrawwan horii gidduuttis lafa hambisaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
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 Namicha fuula duraan jiru sanaanis akkana jedhe: “Yoo Esaaw obboleessi koo sitti dhufe, ‘Ati kan eenyuu ti? Eessa dhaqxa? Horiin fuula kee dura jiru kun kan eenyuu ti?’ jedhee si gaafate,
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 ati, ‘Kan garbicha kee Yaaqoob. Isaanis kennaa gooftaa koo Esaawuuf ergamanii dha; kunoo, Yaaqoobis nu duubaan dhufaa jira’ jechuu qabda.”
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 Namicha lammaffaa, sadaffaa fi warra karrawwan sana faana deeman hundas akkana jedhee ajaje; “Isinis yoo Esaawun argitan waanuma kana isatti himaa.
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 Akkasumas, ‘Kunoo garbichi kee Yaaqoob nu duubaan dhufaa jira’ jedhaa.” Inni, “Ani kennaa of dura ergeef kanaan isa nan araarfadha; ergasii immoo ani yommuun isa argutti tarii inni na simata taʼa” jedhee yaadee tureetii.
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 Kennaan Yaaqoobiis isa dura darbe; Yaaqoob garuu halkan sana qubata sana keessa bule.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself lodged that night in the company.
22 Halkanuma sana Yaaqoob kaʼee niitota isaa lamaan, xomboreewwan isaa lamaanii fi ilmaan isaa kudha tokko fudhatee malkaa Yaaboq ceʼe.
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 Innis erga laga isaan ceesisee booddee qabeenya isaa hunda erge.
And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Yaaqoob immoo kophaa isaa hafe; namichi tokkos hamma lafti bariitutti walʼaansoo isa qabe.
And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
25 Namichis yommuu akka Yaaqoobin moʼachuu hin dandeenye argetti, buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob tuqe; yeroo inni namicha wajjin walʼaansoo qabettis luqqeettuun Yaaqoob ni adoode.
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 Namichis, “Waan bariʼuu gaʼeef gad na dhiisi” jedhe. Yaaqoob garuu, “Yoo ati na eebbifte malee ani gad si hin dhiisu” jedhee deebise.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.
27 Namichis, “Maqaan kee eenyu” jedhee isa gaafate. Inni immoo, “Yaaqoob” jedhee deebise.
And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Namichis, “Ati sababii Waaqaa fi namoota wajjin walʼaansoo qabdee moʼatteef siʼachi Israaʼel jedhamta malee Yaaqoob hin jedhamtu” jedhe.
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 Yaaqoobis, “Maaloo maqaa kee natti himi” jedheen. Inni garuu, “Ati maaliif maqaa koo gaafatta?” jedheen. Ergasiis inni achumatti isa eebbise.
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 Yaaqoobis, “Ani ifaan ifatti Waaqa argeeraatii; lubbuun koo garuu oolfamteerti” jedhee iddoo sana Pheniiʼeel jedhee moggaase.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 Akkuma inni Phenuuʼeelin darbeen aduun isatti baate; innis sababii luqqeettuu isaatiif okkolaa ture.
And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
32 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti ribuu tafaa hin nyaatan; inni buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob kan tafaan wal qabatu tuqee tureetii.
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.
