< Genesis 32 >

1 Jakọbu sì ń bá ọ̀nà tirẹ̀ lọ, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pàdé rẹ̀.
And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
2 Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí wọn, ó wí pé, “Àgọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èyí!” Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni Mahanaimu.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
3 Jakọbu sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ṣáájú ara rẹ̀ sí Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ Seiri ní orílẹ̀-èdè Edomu.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
4 Ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò wí fún Esau olúwa mi, Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, ‘Mo ti ṣe àtìpó lọ́dọ̀ Labani títí ó fi di àsìkò yìí.
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
5 Mo ní màlúù, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́. Mo tún ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin. Mo ń ránṣẹ́ yìí sí olúwa mi kí èmi le è rí ojúrere rẹ.’”
And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and men-servants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that thy servant might find grace in thy sight.
6 Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà padà tọ Jakọbu wà, wọ́n wí pé “Esau arákùnrin rẹ ti múra láti wá pàdé rẹ pẹ̀lú irinwó ọkùnrin.”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and lo! he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìbànújẹ́ ni Jakọbu fi pín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí ìpín méjì, ó sì pín àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, agbo ẹran àti ìbákasẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
8 Nítorí ó rò ó nínú rẹ̀ pé, “Bí Esau bá kọjú ogun sí ìpín kan, ìpín kejì yóò sá àsálà.”
And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and smite it, the other camp shall be in safety.
9 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu gbàdúrà pe, “Ọlọ́run Abrahamu baba mi, àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki baba mi, Olúwa tí ó wí fún mi pé, ‘Padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ìbátan rẹ, èmi yóò sì ṣe ọ́ ní rere,’
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, thou [art] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and I will do thee good.
10 èmi kò tilẹ̀ yẹ fún àánú àti òtítọ́ tí o ń fihàn fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Nítorí pé, kìkì ọ̀pá mi ni mo mu kúrò ni ilé kọjá Jordani yìí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, èmi ti di ẹgbẹ́ méjì.
Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
11 Jọ̀wọ́ Olúwa gbà mí lọ́wọ́ Esau arákùnrin mi, nítorí ẹ̀rù ń bà mí pé yóò wá dojú ìjà kọ mí àti àwọn ìyàwó pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ mi.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and smite me, and the mother upon the children.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti ṣèlérí pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú ọ gbilẹ̀, èmi yóò sì mú kí àwọn ìran rẹ dà bì í yanrìn òkun tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò le è kà.’”
But thou saidst, I will do thee good, and will make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
13 Ó sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà níbẹ̀. Ó mú ẹ̀bùn fún Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ nínú ohun ìní rẹ̀.
And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother,
14 Igba ewúrẹ́, ogún òbúkọ, igba àgùntàn, ogún àgbò,
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
15 ọgbọ̀n abo ìbákasẹ pẹ̀lú ọmọ wọn, ogójì abo màlúù àti akọ màlúù mẹ́wàá, ogún abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
16 Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ ṣáájú mi, kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí àlàfo wà láàrín ọ̀wọ́ agbo ẹran kọ̀ọ̀kan sí èkejì.”
And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17 Ó pàṣẹ fún èyí tí ó ṣáájú pé, “Nígbà tí arákùnrin mi Esau bá pàdé rẹ tí ó sì béèrè ẹni tí ìwọ í ṣe àti ibi tí ìwọ ń lọ àti ẹni tí ó ni agbo ẹran tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ,
And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet thee, and he ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither wouldest thou go, and whose are these possessions advancing before thee?
18 nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wí pé, ‘Ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Jakọbu ni wọ́n. Ẹ̀bùn ni ó sì fi wọ́n ṣe fún Esau olúwa mi, òun pàápàá ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’”
Thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's; he hath sent gifts to my lord Esau, and lo! he is behind us.
19 Jakọbu sì pàṣẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ fún ọ̀wọ́ kejì àti ẹ̀kẹta àti àwọn tókù tí ó tẹ̀lé agbo ẹran pé, “Ohun kan ṣoṣo yìí náà ni kí ẹ sọ fún Esau nígbà tí ẹ bá pàdé rẹ̀.
And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him;
20 Kí ẹ rí i dájú wí pé, ẹ sọ fún un pé, ‘Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wa.’” Èrò Jakọbu ni láti fi àwọn ẹ̀bùn wọ̀nyí tu Esau lójú pé bóyá inú Esau yóò dùn sí òun nígbà tí àwọn bá pàdé.
and ye shall say, Behold thy servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for peradventure he will accept me.
21 Nítorí náà ẹ̀bùn Jakọbu ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, Jakọbu pàápàá sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà nínú àgọ́.
So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22 Ó sì dìde ní òru ọjọ́ náà, ó mú àwọn aya rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mọ́kọ̀ọ̀kànlá, wọ́n sì kọjá ní ìwọdò Jabbok.
And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
23 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti rán wọn kọjá odò tán sí òkè odò, ó sì rán àwọn ohun ìní rẹ̀ kọjá pẹ̀lú.
And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
24 Ó sì ku Jakọbu nìkan, ọkùnrin kan sì bá a ja ìjàkadì títí ó fi di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́.
And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà rí i pé òun kò le borí Jakọbu, ó fọwọ́ kàn án ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, egungun náà sì yẹ̀ kúrò lórí ike, bí ó ti ń ja ìjàkadì.
And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
26 Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí ń máa lọ, nítorí ojúmọ́ ti mọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi kò ní jẹ́ kí o lọ, àyàfi bí o bá súre fún mi.”
And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 Ọkùnrin náà béèrè orúkọ rẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Jakọbu ni òun ń jẹ́.”
And he said to him, What is thy name? and he answered, Jacob.
28 Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà wí pé, “Orúkọ rẹ kì yóò jẹ́ Jakọbu mọ́ bí kò ṣe Israẹli, nítorí pé ìwọ ti bá Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn jà, o sì borí.”
And he said to him, Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; for thou hast prevailed with God, and shalt be mighty with men.
29 Jakọbu sì bẹ ọkùnrin náà pé, “Sọ orúkọ rẹ fún mi.” Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin náà sá à dáhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí o ń béèrè orúkọ mi?” Lẹ́yìn náà ó súre fún Jakọbu níbẹ̀.
And Jacob asked and said, Tell me thy name; and he said, Wherefore dost thou ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
30 Jakọbu sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Penieli pé, “Mo rí Ọlọ́run ní ojúkojú, síbẹ̀ a dá ẹ̀mí mi sí.”
And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he, ]I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
31 Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá Penieli, oòrùn ràn bá a, ó sì ń tiro nítorí itan rẹ̀.
And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Ìdí nìyí tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kì í fi í jẹ iṣan tí ó wà ní ọ̀ọ́kán ibi tí eegun itan ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ títí di òní olónìí, nítorí níbi iṣan náà ni a ti fọwọ́ kan ibi tí egungun itan Jakọbu ti bẹ̀rẹ̀.
Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob—[even] the sinew which was benumbed.
