Mwanzo 32
1 Yakobo pia akaendelea na safari yake, na malaika wa Mungu wakakutana naye.
And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
2 Yakobo alipowaona, akasema, “Hii ni kambi ya Mungu,” hivyo akapaita mahali pale Mahanaimu.
And he said Jacob just when he saw them [is] [the] camp of God this and he called [the] name of the place that Mahanaim.
3 Yakobo akatuma wajumbe mbele yake waende kwa Esau ndugu yake katika nchi ya Seiri, katika eneo la Edomu.
And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
4 Aliwaagiza, kusema, “Hivi ndivyo mtakavyosema kwa bwana wangu Esau: Hivi ndivyo mtumishi wako Yakobo asemavyo: 'Nimekuwa nikikaa na Labani, naye amekawilisha kurudi kwangu hata sasa.
And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
5 Nina ng'ombe, punda, na kondoo, wajori na wajakazi. Nimetuma ujumbe huu kwa bwana wangu, ili kwamba nipate kibali mbele zako.”
And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in view your.
6 Wajumbe wakarudi kwa Yakobo na kusema, “Tulikwenda kwa Esau ndugu yako. Anakuja kukulaki, na watu mia nne pamoja naye.”
And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
7 Ndipo Yakobo alipoogopa sana na kutaabika. Hivyo akagawanya watu aliokuwa nao katika kambi mbili, na kondoo pia, mbuzi na ngamia.
And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
8 Akasema, “Ikiwa Esau ataishambulia kambi moja, ndipo kambi nyingine itakaposalimika.”
And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
9 Yakobo akasema, “Mungu wa baba yangu Ibrahimu, na Mungu wa baba yangu Isaka, Yahwe, uliyeniambia, 'Rudi katika nchi yako na kwa jamaa yako, nami nitakustawisha,'
And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
10 Mimi sistahili matendo yako yote ya agano la uaminifu na ustahilifu wote uliomfanyia mtumishi wako. Kwa maana nilikuwa na fimbo tu nilipovuka mto huu wa Yordani, na sasa nimekuwa matuo mawili.
I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
11 Tafadhari niokoe kutoka katika mikono ya ndugu yangu, mikono ya Esau, kwa maana namwogopa, kwamba atakuja na kunishambulia mimi na wamama na watoto.
Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
12 Lakini ulisema, 'hakika nitakufanya ufanikiwe. Nitaufanya uzao wako kuwa kama mchanga wa bahari, ambao hauwezi kuhesabika kwa hesabu yake.”
And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
13 Yakobo akakaa pale usiku huo. Akachukua baadhi ya alivyokuwa navyo kama zawadi kwa Esau, ndugu yake:
And he stayed [the] night there in the night that and he took some of which came in hand his a gift for Esau brother his.
14 mbuzi majike mia mbili na mabeberu ishirini, kondoo majike mia mbili na madume ya kondoo ishirini,
Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
15 ngamia wakamwao thelathini na wana wao, ng'ombe madume arobaini na madume kumi ya ng'ombe, punda wa kike ishirini na madume yake ishirini.
Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
16 Akawaweka katika mikono ya watumishi wake, kila kundi peke yake. Akawambia watumishi, “Tangulieni mbele yangu na mwache nafasi kati ya makundi ya wanyama.”
And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
17 Akamwagiza mtumishi wa kwanza, akisema, “Ndugu yangu Esau atakapokutana nawe na kukuuliza, akasema, 'Ninyi ni wa nani? Mnakwenda wapi? Na wanyama hawa mbele yenu ni wa nani?
And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
18 Ndipo umwambie, 'Ni wa mtumishi wako Yakobo. Ni zawadi wanaopelekwa kwa bwana wangu Esau. Na tazama, yeye pia anakuja nyuma yetu.”
And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
19 Yakobo akatoa maelekezo kwa kundi la pili pia, la tatu, na watu wote walioyafuata makundi ya wanyama. Akasema, mseme vilevile kwa Esau mtakapokutana naye.
And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
20 Mnapaswa pia kusema, 'mtumwa wako Yakobo pia anakuja nyuma yetu.” Kwani alifikiri, “nitamtuliza Esau kwa zawadi nilizozituma mbele yangu. Kisha baadaye, nitakapomwona, bila shaka atanipokea.”
And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
21 Hivyo zawadi zikatangulia mbele yake. Yeye mwenyewe akakaa kambini usiku huo
And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
22 Yakobo akaamka wakati wa usiku, na akawachukua wakeze, wajakazi wake na wanaye kumi na wawili. Akawawavusha kijito cha Yaboki.
And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one [plus] ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
23 Kwa njia hii akawapeleka kupitia chemichemi pamoja na mali yake yote.
And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
24 Yakobo akaachwa peke yake, na mtu akashindana naya mpaka alfajiri.
And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
25 Mtu yule alipoona kwamba hawezi kumshinda, akalipiga paja lake. Paja la Yakobo likatenguka alipokuwa akishindana naye.
And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
26 Yule mtu akasema, “Niache niende, kwani kunakucha.” Yakobo akasema, sitakuacha uende mpaka uwe umenibariki.”
And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
27 Yule mtu akamwuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Yakobo akasema, “Yakobo.” Yule mtu akasema,
And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
28 “Jina lako halitakuwa Yakobo tena, ila Israeli. Kwa kuwa umeshindana na Mungu na wanadamu na umeshinda.”
And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
29 Yakobo akamwambia, “Tafadhari niambie jina lako.” Akasema, “Kwa nini kuniuliza jina langu?” Kisha akambariki pale.
And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
30 Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli kwani alisema, “Nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso, na maisha yangu yamesalimika.”
And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
31 Jua likatoka wakati Yakobo anaipita Penieli. Alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya paja lake.
And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
32 Ndiyo maana wana wa Israeli hawali kano ya paja iliyopo katika nyonga ya paja, kwa sababu yule mtu aliziumiza hizo kano alipotegua paja la Yakobo.
There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
