Uumama 32
1 Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufe; ergamoonni Waaqayyoos isatti dhufan.
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Innis yommuu isaan argetti, “Kun buufata Waaqaa ti” jedhe; iddoo sanas Mahanayiim jedhee moggaase.
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: 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 country 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 you speak to my lord Esau; Your servant Jacob says thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there 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 asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your 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 your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, 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 distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 Innis, “Yoo Esaawu dhufee garee tokko dhaʼe, gareen kaan jalaa baʼa” jedhee yaade.
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other 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, the LORD which said to me, Return to your country, and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:
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 mercies, and of all the truth, which you have showed to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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 you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 Ati garuu, ‘Ani dhugumaan waan gaarii siifin godha; sanyii kees akka cirracha galaanaa kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye sanaa nan godha’ jetteerta.”
And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your 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 same night; and took of that which came to his hand 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 with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, 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 drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
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 you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where go you? and whose are these before you?
18 ati, ‘Kan garbicha kee Yaaqoob. Isaanis kennaa gooftaa koo Esaawuuf ergamanii dha; kunoo, Yaaqoobis nu duubaan dhufaa jira’ jechuu qabda.”
Then you shall say, They be your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he 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 so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you speak to Esau, when you 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 say you moreover, Behold, your 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; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 Kennaan Yaaqoobiis isa dura darbe; Yaaqoob garuu halkan sana qubata sana keessa bule.
So went the present over before him: and 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 womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 Innis erga laga isaan ceesisee booddee qabeenya isaa hunda erge.
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 Yaaqoob immoo kophaa isaa hafe; namichi tokkos hamma lafti bariitutti walʼaansoo isa qabe.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man 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 prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, 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 you go, except you bless me.
27 Namichis, “Maqaan kee eenyu” jedhee isa gaafate. Inni immoo, “Yaaqoob” jedhee deebise.
And he said to him, What is your 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, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power 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 you, your name. And he said, Why is it that you do ask after 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 as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he halted on his thigh.
32 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti ribuu tafaa hin nyaatan; inni buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob kan tafaan wal qabatu tuqee tureetii.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
