Senesi 32
1 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻi hono hala, pea fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
2 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sēkope kiate kinautolu, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e kau tau eni ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Mehanemi.”
and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
3 Pea fekau ʻe Sēkope ʻae kau talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, ʻi he fonua ko Seia, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.
And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
4 Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; ʻoku pehē mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, Naʻaku nofo ʻāunofo mo Lepani peau nofo mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ni.
and commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger until now;
5 Pea kuo u maʻu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mo e ngaahi fanga manu, mo e kau tangata tauhi, mo e kau fefine tauhi, pea kuo u fekau ke fakahā ia ki hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u lelei ʻi ho ʻao.”
and I have ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
6 Pea toe liu mai ʻae kau tangata kia Sēkope, ʻo nau pehē, “Naʻa mau hoko ki ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, pea vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia foki ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate koe, mo e kau tangata ʻe fāngeau.”
And the messengers return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him”;
7 Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻa Sēkope, ʻo mamahi lahi: pea ne vaeua ʻae kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu lalahi, pea mo e fanga kāmeli.
and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 Pea ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsoa ki he kakai ʻe taha ʻo taaʻi ia, pea ko e kakai ʻe toe te nau hao.”
and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
9 Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope, “E ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻAisake, ko e ʻEiki naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘Toe ʻalu ki ho fonua mo ho kāinga, pea te u fai lelei kiate koe:’
And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
10 ʻOku ʻikai te u taau au, mo e siʻi hifo ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kotoa pē, mo e moʻoni kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: he naʻaku ʻalu mo hoku tokotoko pe ʻi he Sioatani ni; ka ko eni, kuo u hoko ko e kakai ʻe ua.
I have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku taʻokete mei he nima ʻo ʻIsoa: he ʻoku ou manavahē kiate ia, telia naʻa ne haʻu ʻo taaʻi au, pea mo e fale mo e fānau.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
12 Pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘Te u fai lelei kiate koe, ʻo ngaohi ho hako ke tatau mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono lahi.’”
and You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.”
13 Pea mohe ia ʻi ai ʻi he pō ko ia pea naʻa ne fili mai ʻaia naʻe ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa;
And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
14 Ko e kosi fefine ʻe uangeau mo e kosi tangata ʻe uofulu, mo e sipi fefine ʻe uangeau, mo e sipitangata ʻe uofulu.
female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
15 Ko e kāmeli huhu ʻe tolungofulu mo honau ʻuhiki, mo e fanga pulu fefine ʻe fāngofulu, mo e pulu tangata ʻe hongofulu, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe uofulu mo e ʻuhiki ʻe hongofulu.
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
16 Pea ne tuku fakafaʻahinga ia ki he nima ʻoe kau tauhi, pea ne pehē ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ʻo fakavahavaha ʻae faʻahinga manu taki taha.”
and he gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between drove and drove.”
17 Pea fekau ia ki he ʻuluaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOka fakafetaulaki mai hoku taʻokete ko ʻIsoa kiate koe, ʻo fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai koe?’ pea, ‘ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē?’ Pea ʻoku ʻa hai ʻena ʻi ho ʻao?
And he commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
18 Pea ke lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, pea ko e meʻaʻofa ia kuo ne fekau ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; pea vakai, ʻoku ne muimui mai.’”
Then you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [is] behind us.”
19 Pea naʻa ne fekau pehē ki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muimui ki he fanga manu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa, ʻoka mou ka fetaulaki mo ia.
And he commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding him,
20 Pea te mou pehē foki, ‘Vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope.’” He naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻaki ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, pea te u toki mamata ki hono mata; heiʻilo pe te ne maʻu lelei au.”
and you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
21 Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻo nau muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha; pea mohe ia ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai.
and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
22 Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he pō ko ia ʻo ne ʻave hono ongo uaifi, mo ʻene ongo kaunanga, mo hono ngaahi foha ʻe toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, pea nau aʻa ʻi he aʻaʻanga ko Sapoki.
And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of Jabbok;
23 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo fekau ke nau aʻa ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea ne ʻave mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
24 Ka naʻe nofo tokotaha pe ʻa Sēkope; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻa na fefaʻuhi mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he mafoa ʻae ata.
And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
25 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku ʻikai te ne mālohi kiate ia, naʻa ne alasi ʻae tefito tupu ʻo Sēkope: pea naʻe homo ʻae tenga ʻo Sēkope, ʻi he ʻena fefaʻuhi mo ia.
and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with Him;
26 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, he kuo maʻa ʻae ʻaho;” pea ne pehē, “E ʻikai te u tukuange koe ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuaki au.”
and He says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed me.”
27 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea ne pehē, “Ko Sēkope.”
And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
28 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko Sēkope, ka ko ʻIsileli: he ʻoku hangē ko ha ʻeiki ʻa hoʻo fai mālohi ki he ʻOtua, mo e tangata, pea kuo ke lavaʻi.”
And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
29 Pea fehuʻi ʻe Sēkope kiate ia, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tala mai ho hingoa. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fehuʻi ai ki hoku hingoa?” Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻi ai.
And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.
30 Pea ne ui ʻe Sēkope ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Penieli. He kuo u mamata ki he ʻOtua, ko e mata ki he mata, ka ʻoku ou kei moʻui.
And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
31 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi Penieli, naʻe hopo ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe ketu ia koeʻuhi ko hono tenga.
and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
32 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae uoua naʻe alasi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he aoʻi tenga, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: koeʻuhi naʻa ne alasi ʻae aoʻi tupu ʻo Sēkope ʻi he uoua naʻe mingi.
therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
