Mwanzo 32
1 Yakobo pia akaendelea na safari yake, na 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,” hivyo 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 mbele yake waende kwa Esau ndugu yake katika nchi ya Seiri, katika eneo la Edomu.
Sotheli Jacob sente bifore him also messangeris to Esau, his brother, in to the lond of Seir, in the cuntrey 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 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 Nina ng'ombe, punda, na kondoo, wajori na wajakazi. Nimetuma ujumbe huu kwa bwana wangu, ili kwamba nipate kibali mbele zako.”
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 wakarudi kwa Yakobo na kusema, “Tulikwenda kwa Esau ndugu yako. Anakuja kukulaki, na watu mia nne pamoja naye.”
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 Ndipo Yakobo alipoogopa sana na kutaabika. Hivyo akagawanya watu aliokuwa nao katika kambi mbili, na kondoo pia, mbuzi 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 Akasema, “Ikiwa Esau ataishambulia kambi moja, ndipo kambi nyingine itakaposalimika.”
and seide, If Esau schal come to o cumpeny, and schal smyte it, the tothir cumpeny which is residue schal be saued.
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 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 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.
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 Tafadhari niokoe kutoka katika mikono ya ndugu yangu, mikono ya Esau, kwa maana namwogopa, kwamba atakuja na kunishambulia mimi na wamama na watoto.
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 ulisema, 'hakika nitakufanya ufanikiwe. Nitaufanya uzao wako kuwa kama mchanga wa bahari, ambao hauwezi kuhesabika kwa hesabu yake.”
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 Yakobo akakaa pale usiku huo. Akachukua baadhi ya alivyokuwa navyo kama zawadi kwa 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 majike mia mbili na mabeberu ishirini, kondoo majike mia mbili na madume ya kondoo ishirini,
two hundrid geet, and twenti buckis of geet, two hundrid scheep, and twenti rammys,
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 fulle with her foolis thretti, fourti kyen, and twenti boolis, twenti sche assis, and ten foolis of hem.
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 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 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 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 umwambie, 'Ni wa mtumishi wako Yakobo. Ni zawadi wanaopelekwa kwa bwana wangu Esau. Na tazama, yeye pia anakuja nyuma yetu.”
thou schalt answere, Of thi seruaunt Jacob, he hath sent yiftis to his lord Esau, and he cometh aftir vs.
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.
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 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.”
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 Hivyo zawadi zikatangulia mbele yake. Yeye mwenyewe akakaa kambini usiku huo
And so the yiftis yeden bifore hym; sotheli he dwellide in that nyyt in the tentis.
22 Yakobo akaamka wakati wa usiku, na akawachukua wakeze, wajakazi wake na wanaye kumi na wawili. Akawawavusha kijito 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 Kwa njia hii akawapeleka kupitia chemichemi pamoja na mali yake yote.
And whanne alle thingis that perteyneden to hym weren led ouer, he dwellide aloone, and, lo!
24 Yakobo akaachwa peke yake, na mtu akashindana naya mpaka alfajiri.
a man wrastlide with him til to the morwetid.
25 Mtu yule alipoona kwamba hawezi kumshinda, akalipiga paja lake. Paja la Yakobo likatenguka alipokuwa akishindana naye.
And whanne the man seiy that he miyte not ouercome Jacob, he touchide the senewe of Jacobis hipe, and it driede anoon.
26 Yule mtu akasema, “Niache niende, kwani kunakucha.” Yakobo akasema, sitakuacha uende mpaka uwe umenibariki.”
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 akamwuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Yakobo akasema, “Yakobo.” Yule mtu akasema,
Therfore he seide, What name is to thee? He answeride, Jacob.
28 “Jina lako halitakuwa Yakobo tena, ila Israeli. Kwa kuwa umeshindana na Mungu na wanadamu na 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 akamwambia, “Tafadhari niambie jina lako.” Akasema, “Kwa nini kuniuliza jina langu?” Kisha akambariki pale.
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 Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli kwani alisema, “Nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso, na maisha yangu yamesalimika.”
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 likatoka wakati Yakobo anaipita Penieli. Alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya paja lake.
And anoon the sunne roos to hym, aftir that he passide Fanuel; forsothe he haltide in the foot.
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.
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.
