Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻi hono hala, pea fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sēkope kiate kinautolu, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e kau tau eni ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Mehanemi.”
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Pea fekau ʻe Sēkope ʻae kau talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, ʻi he fonua ko Seia, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.
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:
Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; ʻoku pehē mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, Naʻaku nofo ʻāunofo mo Lepani peau nofo mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ni.
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.
Pea kuo u maʻu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mo e ngaahi fanga manu, mo e kau tangata tauhi, mo e kau fefine tauhi, pea kuo u fekau ke fakahā ia ki hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u lelei ʻi ho ʻao.”
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.
Pea toe liu mai ʻae kau tangata kia Sēkope, ʻo nau pehē, “Naʻa mau hoko ki ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, pea vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia foki ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate koe, mo e kau tangata ʻe fāngeau.”
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;
Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻa Sēkope, ʻo mamahi lahi: pea ne vaeua ʻae kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu lalahi, pea mo e fanga kāmeli.
8 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.
Pea ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsoa ki he kakai ʻe taha ʻo taaʻi ia, pea ko e kakai ʻe toe te nau hao.”
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:
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope, “E ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻAisake, ko e ʻEiki naʻa ke pehē mai kiate au, ‘Toe ʻalu ki ho fonua mo ho kāinga, pea te u fai lelei kiate koe:’
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.
ʻOku ʻikai te u taau au, mo e siʻi hifo ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kotoa pē, mo e moʻoni kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: he naʻaku ʻalu mo hoku tokotoko pe ʻi he Sioatani ni; ka ko eni, kuo u hoko ko e kakai ʻe ua.
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.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku taʻokete mei he nima ʻo ʻIsoa: he ʻoku ou manavahē kiate ia, telia naʻa ne haʻu ʻo taaʻi au, pea mo e fale mo e fānau.
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.
Pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘Te u fai lelei kiate koe, ʻo ngaohi ho hako ke tatau mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono lahi.’”
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother;
Pea mohe ia ʻi ai ʻi he pō ko ia pea naʻa ne fili mai ʻaia naʻe ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa;
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Ko e kosi fefine ʻe uangeau mo e kosi tangata ʻe uofulu, mo e sipi fefine ʻe uangeau, mo e sipitangata ʻe uofulu.
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
Ko e kāmeli huhu ʻe tolungofulu mo honau ʻuhiki, mo e fanga pulu fefine ʻe fāngofulu, mo e pulu tangata ʻe hongofulu, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe uofulu mo e ʻuhiki ʻe hongofulu.
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.
Pea ne tuku fakafaʻahinga ia ki he nima ʻoe kau tauhi, pea ne pehē ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ʻo fakavahavaha ʻae faʻahinga manu taki taha.”
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?
Pea fekau ia ki he ʻuluaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOka fakafetaulaki mai hoku taʻokete ko ʻIsoa kiate koe, ʻo fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai koe?’ pea, ‘ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē?’ Pea ʻoku ʻa hai ʻena ʻi ho ʻao?
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.
Pea ke lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, pea ko e meʻaʻofa ia kuo ne fekau ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa; pea vakai, ʻoku ne muimui mai.’”
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;
Pea naʻa ne fekau pehē ki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muimui ki he fanga manu, ʻo pehē, “Te mou lea pehē ki hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIsoa, ʻoka mou ka fetaulaki mo ia.
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.
Pea te mou pehē foki, ‘Vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope.’” He naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻaki ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, pea te u toki mamata ki hono mata; heiʻilo pe te ne maʻu lelei au.”
21 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ʻae meʻaʻofa, ʻo nau muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha; pea mohe ia ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai.
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.
Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he pō ko ia ʻo ne ʻave hono ongo uaifi, mo ʻene ongo kaunanga, mo hono ngaahi foha ʻe toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, pea nau aʻa ʻi he aʻaʻanga ko Sapoki.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that he had.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo fekau ke nau aʻa ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea ne ʻave mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Ka naʻe nofo tokotaha pe ʻa Sēkope; pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻa na fefaʻuhi mo ia ʻo aʻu ki he mafoa ʻae ata.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku ʻikai te ne mālohi kiate ia, naʻa ne alasi ʻae tefito tupu ʻo Sēkope: pea naʻe homo ʻae tenga ʻo Sēkope, ʻi he ʻena fefaʻuhi mo ia.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, he kuo maʻa ʻae ʻaho;” pea ne pehē, “E ʻikai te u tukuange koe ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuaki au.”
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea ne pehē, “Ko Sēkope.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko Sēkope, ka ko ʻIsileli: he ʻoku hangē ko ha ʻeiki ʻa hoʻo fai mālohi ki he ʻOtua, mo e tangata, pea kuo ke lavaʻi.”
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.
Pea fehuʻi ʻe Sēkope kiate ia, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tala mai ho hingoa. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fehuʻi ai ki hoku hingoa?” Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻi ai.
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.
Pea ne ui ʻe Sēkope ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia, ko Penieli. He kuo u mamata ki he ʻOtua, ko e mata ki he mata, ka ʻoku ou kei moʻui.
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻi Penieli, naʻe hopo ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe ketu ia koeʻuhi ko hono tenga.
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.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae uoua naʻe alasi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he aoʻi tenga, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: koeʻuhi naʻa ne alasi ʻae aoʻi tupu ʻo Sēkope ʻi he uoua naʻe mingi.
