< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jakop teh a cei teh, Cathut e kalvantaminaw ni a dawn.
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Jakop ni hmu toteh hete Cathut roenae hmuen doeh telah a titeh, hote hmuen teh Mahanaim telah min a phung.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Jakop ni Edom ram e Seir ram dawk a hmau Esaw koevah a hmalah patounenaw a patoun.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau; Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:
Ahnimouh koe lawk a thui. Ka bawipa Esaw koe hettelah na dei awh han. Na san Jakop ni hettelah ati, Laban koe imyin lah ka o teh atu totouh ka o.
5 and I have oxen, and asses [and] flocks, and menservants ard maidservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Maitotan hoi, la hoi tunaw hoi, hmaenaw hoi sanpa sannunaw hah ka tawn. Hatdawkvah, na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahanlah ka bawipa koe dei pouh hanelah, taminaw ka patoun ati, telah atipouh.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Patounenaw hah Jakop koe a ban awh teh, na hmau Esaw koe ka pha awh. Tami 400 touh hoi nang na dawn hanelah ahni hai a kamthaw, telah a dei pouh awh.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
Hatdawkvah, Jakop ni a takipoung teh kângairu hoi ao. Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kalauknaw hah hu kahni touh lah koung a kapek.
8 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.
Jakop ni Esaw a kâhmo toteh, ahu buet touh e thet pawiteh a hu alouknaw teh ka yawngkhai thai han doeh, telah ati.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:
Hottelah Jakop ni, oe apa Abraham Cathut, apa Isak Cathut, oe BAWIPA na ram hoi na imthungnaw koe ban nateh, kaimouh ka thet hane katetnaw,
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies.
na san e lathueng vah lungmanae hoi yuemkamcunae pueng na kamcu sak e thung dawk hoi, kathoengpounge patenghai hmu hanelah ka kamcu hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jordan palang hah ka sonron hoi dueng ka raka teh atuteh a hu kahni touh ka pha toe.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.
Pahren lahoi ka hmau Esaw e kut thung roeroe hoi na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui camonaw hoi kaimouh rekrek na saueng han doeh tie hah puenghoi ka tâsue.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama ni, na pungdaw sak vaiteh, na ca catounnaw hah touk thai hoeh e talî dawk e sadi yit touh na pap sak han na tie hah, telah ati.
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother;
Hate karum teh hawvah a roe awh. Hahoi a tawn e thung dawk hoi hmae manu 200, hmaetan 20,
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Kalauk sanu kasu lahun e 30, a canaw khuehoi maito manu 40, maitotan 10,
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
La manu 20, la a kum kanaw e 10, hetnaw hah a hmau Esaw koe poehno lah poe hanelah a pasoum.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
Hotnaw teh a huhu lahoi aloukcalah a sannaw kut dawk a poe. Hahoi, ahnimouh koe, ka hmalah cet awh nateh, a louklouk lah rahak kaawm lahoi cet awh, ati.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
Hahoi lam kahrawikung koevah, ka hmau Esaw hoi na kâhmo toteh, apie taminaw maw, na maw na cei awh han, nangmae na hmalah kaawmnaw hah apinaw maw, telah na pacei awh pawiteh,
18 then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us.
Na san Jakop e naw seng doeh. Ka bawipa poe hanelah poehno na patawn e naw doeh. Khenhaw! ama hai kaimae hnuklah ao, na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui.
19 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him;
Apâhni e hoi apâthum e hoi saring kakhoumnaw pueng koe hai, Esaw na kâhmo torei teh, hot patetlah na dei awh han.
20 and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me.
Hahoi khenhaw! na san Jakop teh kaimae hnukkhu lah ao na ti pouh awh han, telah lawk a thui. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hmalah ka cet e poehno ni a lungthin ahawi sak han. Hathnukkhu hoi a mei ka hmu han, telah pawiteh, a lungroum yawkaw han telah ati.
21 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Hatdawkvah, poehno hah a hmalah a ceisak. Hatei, ama teh hote karum teh tamihunaw koe a roe.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of Jabbok.
Karum vah a thaw teh a yu roi hoi a canaw hlaibun touh hah a ceikhai teh Jabbok palang hah a raka awh.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that he had.
Ahnimouh hah a ceikhai teh palang hah a raka awh. A tawn e naw pueng hai a ceikhai.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jakop amadueng ao nah tami buet touh hoi khodai totouh a kâthe roi.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.
Ahni ni ka tâ mahoeh tie a panue toteh, Jakop e a sumbunghru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh. Hatdawkvah Jakop teh a khokkhem.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Ahni ni, na cetsak leih, bangkongtetpawiteh kho hai a dai toe telah ati. Hateiteh, ahni ni yawhawi na poe hoehpawiteh, na cetsak mahoeh telah ati.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Ahni ni na min a pimaw telah a pacei navah, Jakop telah atipouh.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Ahni ni na min Jakop teh Jakop tet mahoeh toe, Isarel ati awh han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut hoi tami hai na the teh na tâ toe, telah ati.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Jakop ni pahren lahoi na min apimaw telah a pacei. Ahni ni bang kecu dawk maw ka min na pacei telah ati. Hawvah yawhawinae a poe.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Haw e hmuen teh Jakop ni Peniel, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh minhmai kâhmo lahoi ka hmu teh ka hringnae hah a pâhlung telah ati.
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
Hahoi Penuel hoi a tâco nah, kanî a tâco, Ahni teh a kamlang teh a phaihru kecu dawk a dongkhawt.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop e phai hru kâcunae koe a khoe pouh dawkvah, sahnin totouh Isarel catounnaw ni phai hru kâcunae koe e tharui hah cat boi awh hoeh.
