Mwanzo 32
1 Yakobo pia akaondoka akaenda zake, nao malaika wa Mungu wakakutana naye.
Forsothe Jacob wente forth in the weie in which he began, and the aungels of the Lord metten him.
2 Yakobo alipowaona, akasema, “Hii ni kambi ya Mungu!” Kwa hiyo akapaita mahali pale Mahanaimu.
And whanne he hadde seyn hem, he seide, These ben the castels of God; and he clepide the name of that place Manaym, that is, castels.
3 Yakobo akatuma wajumbe kumtangulia kwa Esau ndugu yake huko Seiri, katika nchi ya Edomu.
Sotheli Jacob sente bifore him also messangeris to Esau, his brother, in to the lond of Seir, in the cuntrey of Edom;
4 Akawaagiza akisema: “Hili ndilo mtakalomwambia bwana wangu Esau: ‘Mtumishi wako Yakobo anasema, nimekuwa nikiishi pamoja na Labani na nimekuwako huko mpaka sasa.
and comaundide to hem, and seide, Thus speke ye to my lord Esau, Thi brothir Jacob seith these thingis, Y was a pilgrym at Laban, `and Y was `til in to present dai;
5 Ninao ngʼombe na punda, kondoo na mbuzi, watumishi wa kiume na wa kike. Sasa ninatuma ujumbe huu kwa bwana wangu, ili nipate kibali machoni pako.’”
Y haue oxun, and assis, and scheep, and seruauntis, and hand maydis, and Y sende now a message to my lord, that Y fynde grace in thi siyt.
6 Wajumbe waliporudi kwa Yakobo, wakamwambia, “Tulikwenda kuonana na ndugu yako Esau, naye sasa anakuja kukulaki akifuatana na wanaume 400.”
And the messageris turneden ayen to Jacob, and seiden, We camen to Esau, thi brother, and lo! he hastith in to thi comyng, with foure hundrid men.
7 Kwa hofu kuu na huzuni, Yakobo akagawanya watu aliokuwa nao katika makundi mawili, pia akagawanya makundi ya kondoo na mbuzi, na vilevile ngʼombe na ngamia.
Jacob dredde greetli, and he was aferd, and departide the puple that was with hym, and he departide the flockis, and scheep, and oxun, and camels, in to twei cumpenyes;
8 Yakobo alifikiri, “Kama Esau akija na kushambulia kundi moja, kundi lililobaki litaweza likanusurika.”
and seide, If Esau schal come to o cumpeny, and schal smyte it, the tothir cumpeny which is residue schal be saued.
9 Ndipo Yakobo akaomba, “Ee Mungu wa baba yangu Abrahamu, Mungu wa baba yangu Isaki, Ee Bwana, ambaye uliniambia, ‘Rudi katika nchi yako na jamaa yako, nami nitakufanya ustawi,’
And Jacob seide, A! God of my fadir Abraham, and God of my fadir Isaac, A! Lord, that seidist to me, Turne thou ayen in to thi lond, and in to the place of thi birthe, and Y schal do wel to thee,
10 mimi sistahili fadhili na uaminifu wako wote ulionitendea mimi mtumishi wako. Nilikuwa na fimbo tu mkononi mwangu nilipovuka mto huu wa Yordani, lakini sasa ninayo makundi mawili.
Y am lesse than alle thi merciful doyngis, and than thi treuthe which thou hast fillid to thi seruaunt; with my staf Y passide this Jordan, and now Y go ayen with twei cumpanyes;
11 Nakuomba, uniokoe na mkono wa ndugu yangu Esau, kwa maana ninaogopa kuwa atakuja kunishambulia, pia mama pamoja na watoto wao.
delyuere thou me fro the hond of my brothir Esau, for Y drede him greetli, lest he come and sle the modris with the sones.
12 Lakini umeshasema, ‘Hakika nitakufanya ustawi na kuufanya uzao wako kuwa mwingi kama mchanga wa baharini ambao hauwezi kuhesabika!’”
Thou spakist that thou schuldist do wel to me, and shuldist alarge my seed as the grauel of the see, that mai not be noumbrid for mychilnesse.
13 Akalala pale usiku ule, miongoni mwa vitu alivyokuwa navyo, akachagua zawadi kwa ajili ya Esau ndugu yake:
And whanne Jacob hadde slept there in that nyyt, he departide of tho thingis whiche he hadde yiftis to Esau, his brothir,
14 Mbuzi waume ishirini na mbuzi wake 200, kondoo dume ishirini na kondoo wake 200.
two hundrid geet, and twenti buckis of geet, two hundrid scheep, and twenti rammys,
15 Ngamia wake thelathini pamoja na ndama zao, ngʼombe wake arobaini na mafahali kumi, punda wake ishirini na punda waume kumi.
camels fulle with her foolis thretti, fourti kyen, and twenti boolis, twenti sche assis, and ten foolis of hem.
16 Akaviweka chini ya uangalizi wa watumishi wake, kila kundi peke yake na kuwaambia, “Nitangulieni na kuacha nafasi kati ya makundi.”
And he sente bi the hondis of his seruauntis alle flockis bi hem silf; and he seide to hise children, Go ye bifore me, and a space be betwixe flok and flok.
17 Akamwagiza yule aliyetangulia kuwa, “Ndugu yangu Esau atakapokutana nawe na kukuuliza, ‘Wewe ni wa nani? Unakwenda wapi? Wanyama hawa wote mbele yako ni mali ya nani?’
And he comaundide to the formere, and seide, If thou schalt mete my brothir Esau, and he schal axe thee, whos man thou art, ether whidir thou goist, ether whos ben these thingis whiche thou suest,
18 Ndipo utakaposema, ‘Ni mali ya mtumishi wako Yakobo. Ni zawadi ambazo zimetumwa kwa bwana wangu Esau, naye anakuja nyuma yetu.’”
thou schalt answere, Of thi seruaunt Jacob, he hath sent yiftis to his lord Esau, and he cometh aftir vs.
19 Akamwagiza pia yule mtumishi wa kundi la pili, la tatu na yale mengine yote yaliyofuata akiwaambia, “Mtamwambia Esau maneno hayo hayo mtakapokutana naye.
In lijk maner, he yaf comaundementis to the secounde, and to the thridde, and to alle that sueden flockis; and seide, Speke ye bi the same wordis to Esau,
20 Hakikisheni mmesema, ‘Mtumishi wako Yakobo anakuja nyuma yetu.’” Kwa kuwa alifikiri, “Nitaweza kumtuliza kwa zawadi hizi ninazotanguliza, hatimaye, nitakapomwona, huenda atanikubali.”
whanne ye fynden hym, and ye schulen adde, Also Jacob hym silf thi seruaunt sueth oure weie. For Jacob seide, Y schal plese Esau with yiftis that goon bifore, and aftirward Y schal se hym; in hap he schal be mercyful to me.
21 Kwa hiyo zawadi za Yakobo zilitangulia mbele yake, lakini yeye mwenyewe alilala kambini usiku ule.
And so the yiftis yeden bifore hym; sotheli he dwellide in that nyyt in the tentis.
22 Usiku ule Yakobo akaamka akawachukua wake zake wawili, watumishi wake wawili wa kike na wanawe kumi na mmoja na akavuka kivuko cha Yaboki.
And whanne Jacob hadde arise auysseli, he took hise twei wyues, and so many seruauntessis with enleuen sones, and passide the forthe of Jaboth.
23 Baada ya kuwavusha ngʼambo ya kijito, alivusha pia mali zake zote.
And whanne alle thingis that perteyneden to hym weren led ouer, he dwellide aloone, and, lo!
24 Kwa hiyo Yakobo akaachwa peke yake na mtu mmoja akashikana naye mweleka mpaka mapambazuko.
a man wrastlide with him til to the morwetid.
25 Yule mtu alipoona kuwa hawezi kumshinda, aligusa kiungio cha nyonga ya Yakobo kwa hiyo nyonga yake ikateguka wakati alipokuwa akishikana mweleka na yule mtu.
And whanne the man seiy that he miyte not ouercome Jacob, he touchide the senewe of Jacobis hipe, and it driede anoon.
26 Ndipo yule mtu akasema, “Niache niende, kwa kuwa ni mapambazuko.” Lakini Yakobo akajibu, “Sitakuacha uende usiponibariki.”
And he seide to Jacob, Leeue thou me, for the morewtid stieth now. Jacob answeride, Y schal not leeue thee, no but thou blesse me.
27 Yule mtu akamuuliza, “Jina lako nani?” Akajibu, “Yakobo.”
Therfore he seide, What name is to thee? He answeride, Jacob.
28 Ndipo yule mtu akasema, “Jina lako halitakuwa tena Yakobo, bali Israeli, kwa sababu umeshindana na Mungu na watu pia, nawe umeshinda.”
And the man seide, Thi name schal no more be clepid Jacob, but Israel; for if thou were strong ayens God, hou miche more schalt thou haue power ayens men.
29 Yakobo akasema, “Tafadhali niambie jina lako.” Lakini akajibu, “Kwa nini kuniuliza Jina langu?” Ndipo akambariki huko.
Jacob axide him, Seie thou to me bi what name thou art clepid? He answerde, Whi axist thou my name, whiche is wondirful? And he blesside Jacob in the same place.
30 Kwa hiyo Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli, akasema, “Ni kwa sababu nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso na bado maisha yangu yameokoka.”
And Jacob clepide the name of that place Fanuel, and seide, Y siy the Lord face to face, and my lijf is maad saaf.
31 Jua lilikuwa linachomoza Yakobo alipoondoka Penueli, naye alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya nyonga yake.
And anoon the sunne roos to hym, aftir that he passide Fanuel; forsothe he haltide in the foot.
32 Kwa hiyo mpaka leo Waisraeli hawali mshipa ulioungana na kiungio cha nyonga, kwa sababu kiungio cha nyonga ya Yakobo kiliteguliwa karibu na mshipa huo.
For which cause the sones of Israel eten not `til in to present day the senewe, that driede in the hipe of Jacob; for the man touchide the senewe of Jacobs hipe, and it driede.
