Genesis 32
1 Jakọbu sì ń bá ọ̀nà tirẹ̀ lọ, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì pàdé rẹ̀.
As Jacob and his family continued traveling, some angels, whom God sent, met him.
2 Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí wọn, ó wí pé, “Àgọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èyí!” Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ni Mahanaimu.
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s army camp!” So he named that place Mahanaim, [which means ‘two camps’].
3 Jakọbu sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ṣáájú ara rẹ̀ sí Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ilẹ̀ Seiri ní orílẹ̀-èdè Edomu.
Jacob told some of the men to go ahead of him to his older brother Esau, who was living in Seir, the land where the descendants of Edom lived.
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.
He told them, “This is what I want you to say to Esau: 'I, Jacob, want to be your servant and I want you to be my master. I have been living with our uncle Laban, and I have stayed there 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.’”
I now own many cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and male and female slaves. Now I am sending this message to you, sir, hoping that you will (be friendly toward me/treat me kindly) when I arrive.’ “
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.”
The messengers went and gave that message to Esau. When they returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your older brother Esau. Now he is coming to you, and 400 men are coming 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.
Jacob was very afraid and worried. So he divided the people who were with him into two groups. He also divided the sheep and goats, the cattle, and the camels, into two groups.
8 Nítorí ó rò ó nínú rẹ̀ pé, “Bí Esau bá kọjú ogun sí ìpín kan, ìpín kejì yóò sá àsálà.”
He was thinking, “If Esau and his men come and attack us, perhaps one of the groups will be left and will be able to escape.”
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,’
Then Jacob prayed, “O Yahweh God, whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and my father Isaac worships, you said to me, ‘Go back to your own land and to your relatives, and I will (cause good things happen to/do good things for) you.’
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.
I am not worthy for you to have been so kind and faithful to me in so many ways, your servant. I had only this walking stick with me when I crossed the Jordan [River on my way to Haran], but now I am so wealthy that there are two large groups of my family and possessions.
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.
So now I pray that you will rescue me from [MTY] my [older] brother Esau, because I am afraid that he and his men will come and attack and kill me and the children and their mothers.
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 do not forget that you have said, ‘I will certainly enable you to prosper, and I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, which are so many that no one can count them.’”
13 Ó sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà níbẹ̀. Ó mú ẹ̀bùn fún Esau arákùnrin rẹ̀ nínú ohun ìní rẹ̀.
Jacob slept there that night. The next morning he selected some animals to give to his brother Esau.
14 Igba ewúrẹ́, ogún òbúkọ, igba àgùntàn, ogún àgbò,
He selected 200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,
15 ọgbọ̀n abo ìbákasẹ pẹ̀lú ọmọ wọn, ogójì abo màlúù àti akọ màlúù mẹ́wàá, ogún abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá.
30 female camels and their offspring, 40 cows and ten bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.
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.”
He divided them into small herds, and put each herd into the care of one of his servants. He said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, one group at a time, and keep some space between each herd.”
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,
He said to the servant who was going with the first group, “When my brother Esau meets you, and he asks you, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?’
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.’”
tell him, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. He has sent them to you as a gift, sir. And he is coming 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.
He also said the same thing to the servants who were taking care of the second and third groups, and to the other herdsmen. He said to them, “When you meet Esau, I want you to say to him the same thing that I told the first servant.
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 be sure to say ‘Jacob, who wants to serve you, is coming behind us.’” Jacob told them to say that because he was thinking, “Perhaps these gifts that I am sending ahead of me will cause him to (act peacefully toward/stop being angry with) me. Then later, when I see him, perhaps he will be kind to me.”
21 Nítorí náà ẹ̀bùn Jakọbu ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, Jakọbu pàápàá sì lo òru ọjọ́ náà nínú àgọ́.
So the men taking the gifts [PRS] went ahead, but Jacob himself stayed in the camp that night.
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.
Some time during that night, Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven sons and his daughter, and he sent them across the ford at the Jabbok River.
23 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti rán wọn kọjá odò tán sí òkè odò, ó sì rán àwọn ohun ìní rẹ̀ kọjá pẹ̀lú.
After he had done that, he sent other slaves, carrying all his possessions, across the river.
24 Ó sì ku Jakọbu nìkan, ọkùnrin kan sì bá a ja ìjàkadì títí ó fi di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́.
So Jacob was left there alone. But a man came and wrestled with him until dawn.
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.
When the man realized that he was not winning against Jacob, he struck Jacob’s hip and caused the thigh bone to pull away from the hip socket.
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.”
Then the man said, “Let me go, because it will soon be daylight.” [Then Jacob realized who he was really wrestling with]. So he replied, “No, if you will not bless me, I will not let you go!”
27 Ọkùnrin náà béèrè orúkọ rẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Jakọbu ni òun ń jẹ́.”
The man said to him, “What is your name?” He replied, “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.”
The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. Your name will be Israel, [which means ‘he struggles with God’, ] because you have struggled with God and with people, and you have won.”
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.
Jacob said, “Now, please tell me your name!” The man replied, “(Why do you ask me what my name is?/You should not have to ask me what my name is!)” [RHQ] But he blessed Jacob there.
30 Jakọbu sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Penieli pé, “Mo rí Ọlọ́run ní ojúkojú, síbẹ̀ a dá ẹ̀mí mi sí.”
So Jacob named the place Peniel, [which means ‘God’s face’, ] saying “I looked directly at God, but I did not die because of doing that.”
31 Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá Penieli, oòrùn ràn bá a, ó sì ń tiro nítorí itan rẹ̀.
The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel, and he was limping because of what had happened to his hip.
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.
The muscle on his hip joint had been injured. So to this present time, because of what happened to Jacob, the Israeli people do not eat the muscle/tendon that is attached to the socket of the hips of animals.
