Uumama 32
1 Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufe; ergamoonni Waaqayyoos isatti dhufan.
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.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." 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.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region 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.
He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner 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.’”
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor 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.
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but 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 very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
8 Innis, “Yoo Esaawu dhufee garee tokko dhaʼe, gareen kaan jalaa baʼa” jedhee yaade.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will 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,
Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you 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 faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
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.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers 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.”
You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
13 Inni halkan sana achuma bule; waan of biraa qabu keessaas kennaa obboleessa isaa Esaawuuf kennu filate;
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 isaanis reʼoota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii reʼee digdama, hoolota dhaltuu dhibba lama, korbeeyyii hoolaa digdama,
two hundred female goats and twenty male 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 young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 Innis karra karraan addaan baasee tajaajiltoota isaatti kennee, “Na dura darbaa deemaa; karrawwan horii gidduuttis lafa hambisaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
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,
He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of 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 are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, 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.
He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to 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.
You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
21 Kennaan Yaaqoobiis isa dura darbe; Yaaqoob garuu halkan sana qubata sana keessa bule.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Halkanuma sana Yaaqoob kaʼee niitota isaa lamaan, xomboreewwan isaa lamaanii fi ilmaan isaa kudha tokko fudhatee malkaa Yaaboq ceʼe.
He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Innis erga laga isaan ceesisee booddee qabeenya isaa hunda erge.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 Yaaqoob immoo kophaa isaa hafe; namichi tokkos hamma lafti bariitutti walʼaansoo isa qabe.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 Namichis yommuu akka Yaaqoobin moʼachuu hin dandeenye argetti, buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob tuqe; yeroo inni namicha wajjin walʼaansoo qabettis luqqeettuun Yaaqoob ni adoode.
When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated 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.
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless 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?" He said, "Jacob."
28 Namichis, “Ati sababii Waaqaa fi namoota wajjin walʼaansoo qabdee moʼatteef siʼachi Israaʼel jedhamta malee Yaaqoob hin jedhamtu” jedhe.
Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled 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.
Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
30 Yaaqoobis, “Ani ifaan ifatti Waaqa argeeraatii; lubbuun koo garuu oolfamteerti” jedhee iddoo sana Pheniiʼeel jedhee moggaase.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 Akkuma inni Phenuuʼeelin darbeen aduun isatti baate; innis sababii luqqeettuu isaatiif okkolaa ture.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
32 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti ribuu tafaa hin nyaatan; inni buusaa luqqeettuu Yaaqoob kan tafaan wal qabatu tuqee tureetii.
Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
