< Genesis 32 >

1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Na haere ana a Hakopa i tona huarahi, a ka tutaki ki a ia nga anahera a te Atua.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
A ka mea a Hakopa i tona kitenga i a ratou, Ko te ope tenei a te Atua: na huaina iho e ia te ingoa o tena wahi ko Mahanaima.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Na ka tono tangata atu a Hakopa ki mua i a ia ki a Ehau, ki tona tuakana, ki te whenua o Heira, ki te whenua o Eroma.
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
Ka ako hoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Kia penei he korero atu ma koutou ki toku ariki, ki a Ehau; E penei ana te kupu a tau pononga, a Hakopa, I a Rapana ahau e noho ana a tae mai ki tenei wa;
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
He kau ano aku, he kaihe, he hipi, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine: a kua tono tangata nei ahau ki te korero ki toku ariki, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe.
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
Na ka hoki mai nga karere ki a Hakopa, ka mea, I tae atu matou ki tou tuakana, ki a Ehau, a tenei ano ia te haere mai nei ki te whakatau i a koe, ratou tahi ko nga tangata e wha rau.
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
Na he nui te wehi o Hakopa, ka manukanuka; na ka wehea e ia ona tangata, me nga hipi, me nga kau, me nga kamera, kia rua nga ropu;
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
I mea hoki ia, Ki te tae mai a Ehau ki te ropu tuatahi, a ka patua e ia, na, ka mawhiti te ropu i mahue.
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
Na ka mea a Hakopa, E te Atua o toku papa, o Aperahama, e te Atua o toku papa, o Ihaka, e Ihowa, nau nei te kupu ki ahau, Hoki atu ki tou whenua, ki ou whanaunga hoki, a ka pai taku mahi ki a koe:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
He iti rawa ahau, he nui au arohatanga katoa, me te pono katoa hoki i whakaputaina mai e koe ki tau pononga; i whiti mai hoki ahau me toku tokotoko i tenei Horano; a ka rua nei oku ropu.
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
Tena ra, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o toku tuakana, i te ringa o Ehau; e wehi ana hoki ahau i a ia, kei haere mai ia ki te patu i ahau, i te whaea ratou tahi ko nga tamariki.
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
I mea mai nei hoki koe, Ina, ka pai taku mahi ki a koe, a ka meinga e ahau ou uri kia rite ki te onepu o te moana, e kore nei e taea te tatau i te tini.
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
A i moe ia ki reira i taua po; a i tangohia e ia i roto i nga mea i pono ki tona ringa he hakari ma Ehau, ma tona tuakana;
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
E rua rau nga koati hua, e rua tekau hoki nga koati toa, e rua rau nga hipi uha, e rua tekau nga hipi toa,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
E toru tekau nga kamera whai waiu, me a ratou kuao, e wha tekau nga kau, kotahi tekau hoki nga puru, e rua tekau nga kaihe uha, me nga kuao hoki kotahi tekau.
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
A ka hoatu e ia ki nga ringa o ana pononga tenei kahui, tenei kahui, motumotu rawa; ka mea ia ki ana pononga, Haere i mua i ahau, kia whai takiwa tetahi kahui, tetahi kahui.
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
I ako ano ia i te tuatahi, i mea, E tutaki a Ehau, toku tuakana, i a koe, e mea, Na wai koe? a e haere ana koe ki hea? a na wai enei mea i tou aroaro?
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
Na ka mea atu koe, Na tau pononga, na Hakopa; i homai e ia hei hakari ma toku ariki, ma Ehau; a tenei ano hoki ia kei muri i a matou.
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
He pera ano tana ako ki te tuarua, ki te tuatoru hoki, ki nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere i muri i nga kahui, i mea ia, Ko te tikanga tenei mo nga kupu e korero ai koutou ki a Ehau, ina tutaki ki a ia;
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
A me ki atu e koutou, Na, tenei ano hoki tau pononga, a Hakopa, kei muri i a matou. I mea hoki ia, Me whakamarie ia e ahau ki te hakari e haere ana i mua i ahau, a, muri iho ka kite ahau i tona kanohi; tera pea ia e manako ki ahau.
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Na ka haere atu te hakari i mua i a ia: a ko ia i moe i taua po i te puni.
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
A i whakatika ia i taua po, i tango hoki i ana wahine tokorua, me ana wahine pononga tokorua, me ana tamariki tekau ma tahi, a ka whiti i te whitinga i Iapoko.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
A i tango ia i a ratou, i mea hoki kia whiti i te awa, a i tukuna atu e ia kia whiti nga mea i a ia.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
A i mahue iho a Hakopa ko ia anake; a nonoke ana raua ko tetahi tangata, a takiri noa te ata.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
A, no te kitenga o tera kihai ia i taea e ia, ka pa ia ki te ateatenga o tona huha; a ka takoki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa i a raua e nonoke ana.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Na ka mea ia, Tukua ahau, kua takiri hoki te ata. A ka mea ia, E kore koe e tukua e ahau, kia manaakitia ra ano ahau e koe.
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
A ka mea ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? A ka mea ia, Ko Hakopa.
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
A ka mea ia, Heoi ano kianga ko Hakopa tou ingoa, engari ko Iharaira: no te mea kua tohe koe ki te Atua, ki te tangata hoki, a i a koe ano te mutunga.
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
Na ka ui a Hakopa, ka mea, Tena koa, korerotia mai tou ingoa. Ano ra ko ia, He aha toku ingoa i uia ai e koe? a ka manaaki ia i a ia i reira.
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
Na huaina ana e Hakopa te ingoa o taua wahi ko Peniere: i mea hoki ia, Moku i titiro ki te Atua, he kanohi, he kanohi, a kei te ora nei ahau.
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
A i tara mai te ra ki a ia i a ia ka whiti i Penuere, kei te toitoti ano tona huha.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
Koia nga tama a Iharaira te kai ai i te uaua i memenge, ara i tera i te ateatenga o te huha, a tae noa ki tenei ra: no te mea hoki i pa ia ki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa, ki te uaua i memenge.
