Chakruok 32
1 Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuodhe, kendo malaike mag Nyasaye noromo kode.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Kane Jakobo onenogi, nowacho niya, “Ma en kambi mar Nyasaye!” Kuom mano nochako kanyo ni Mahanaim (tiende ni kembni ariyo).
When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Jakobo nooro joote nyime ir owadgi Esau e piny Seir, gwengʼ mar Edom.
Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 Jakobo nomiyogi chik niya, “Ma e gima onego udhi uwach ne ruodha Esau: Misumbani Jakobo wacho ni, ‘Asebedo ka adak gi Laban kendo asebedo kuno nyaka chil kawuono.
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 An kod dhok kod punde, rombe gi diek, jotich machwo kod jotich mamon. Omiyo koro aoro oteni ne ruodha, mondo ayud ngʼwono e wangʼe.’”
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 Kane jootego odwogo ir Jakobo negiwachone niya, “Ne wadhi ir owadu Esau kendo koro obiro mondo orom kodi, to ji mia angʼwen bende ni kode.”
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Kane Jakobo owinjo mano luoro kod kibaji nogoye mangʼeny mi nopogo jambe, gi dhoge kod ngamia e migepe ariyo.
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 Noparo e chunye niya, “Ka Esau omonjo migawo achiel, to migawo machielo modongʼ nyalo tony.”
He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 Eka Jakobo nolamo kawacho niya, “Yaye Nyasach kwara Ibrahim, Nyasach wuora Isaka, Jehova Nyasaye mane owachona ni, ‘Dogi thuru ir jou, kendo abiro miyo inyaa,’
Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
10 ok awinjora gi kech kod adieragi duto misenyiso jatichni. Ne an mana gi ludha kende kane angʼado aora Jordan, to koro aseduogo gi ogendini ariyo.
I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11 Alamo ni mondo iresa e lwet owadwa Esau nikech aluor ni obiro biro ma omonja kaachiel gi mon kod nyithindgi.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
12 To isewachona ni, ‘Adier abiro miyo inyaa kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi bedo mathoth ka kuoyo man e dho nam, ma ok nyal kwan.’”
You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 Jakobo nonindo kanyo, kendo kuom gik mane en-go ne oyiero mich ne owadgi Esau kaka:
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 Diek mamon mia ariyo kod nywogi piero ariyo, rombe mamon mia ariyo gi imbe piero ariyo,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 ngamia mamon piero adek gi nyithindgi, dhok mamon piero angʼwen kod rwedhi apar, kod punde mamon piero ariyo kod punde machwo apar.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 Noketogi e lwet jotichne ka moro ka moro otelone kweth ka kweth kendo nowachonegi niya, “Teluru nyima kuweyo thuolo e kind kweth ka kweth.”
He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
17 Nomiyo ngʼat mane otelo chik niya, “Ka owadwa Esau oromo kodi mopenji ni, ‘In jatich ngʼa, to idhi kanye kendo ni jamni duto misembogi gin mag ngʼa?’
He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
18 Eka iwachne ni, ‘Magi gin mag jatichni Jakobo. Gin mich ma oor ne ruodha Esau, Jakobo bende biro bangʼwa.’”
Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 Bende nomiyo ngʼat mar ariyo, gi ngʼat mar adek kod jogo duto mane luwo bangʼ kweth chik niya, “Un duto wachuru ne Esau mana gima chalre kuromo kode.
He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 Kendo une ni uwacho ni, ‘Jatichni Jakobo biro bangʼwa.’” Nikech noparo niya, “Obiro hoye gi mich ma ooroneni kendo ka oneno to ponono obiro rwaka.”
You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21 Kuom mano mich Jakobo noter motelo, ka en to nodongʼ ei kambi.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Otienono Jakobo nochungʼ mokawo monde ariyo, jotichne mamon ariyo kod yawuote apar gachiel kendo negikadho aora mar Jabok.
He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Jakobo nokawo joge kaachiel gi gige mi nokowogi nyaka loka aora Jabok.
He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Bangʼ mano Jakobo nodongʼ kende, kendo ngʼato noi kode otieno duto nyaka okinyi.
Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 Kane ngʼatno oneno ni ok onyal goye piny, nomulo fuoni mar bamne, kuom mano chieke nowil.
When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 Ngʼatno nowacho niya, “We adhi, nikech en odiechiengʼ.” To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ok abi weyi idhi nyaka igwedha.”
The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Ngʼatno nopenje niya, “Nyingi ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “Jakobo.”
He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
28 Eka ngʼatno nowacho niya, “Nyingi ok nochak oluongi ni Jakobo, to noluongi ni Israel nikech ise ii gi Nyasaye kod ji mi iseloyo.”
He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Jakobo nowachone niya, “Asayi nyisa nyingi.” To nodwoko Jakobo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenjo nyinga?” Eka nogwedho Jakobo kanyo.
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30 Kuom mano Jakobo nochako kanyo ni Peniel (tiende ni wangʼ Nyasaye) kowacho niya, “Nikech aseneno Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ kendo ngimana oresi.”
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Chiengʼ notuchne ka okadho Peniel kendo nowuotho kolingʼo nikech bamne nowil.
The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 Mano emomiyo nyaka kawuono jo-Israel ok cham ringʼo moriwo fuond bam ka giparogo wil mar fuond bam Jakobo.
Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
