< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuodhe, kendo malaike mag Nyasaye noromo kode.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Kane Jakobo onenogi, nowacho niya, “Ma en kambi mar Nyasaye!” Kuom mano nochako kanyo ni Mahanaim (tiende ni kembni ariyo).
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Jakobo nooro joote nyime ir owadgi Esau e piny Seir, gwengʼ mar Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now:
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.
5 And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
An kod dhok kod punde, rombe gi diek, jotich machwo kod jotich mamon. Omiyo koro aoro oteni ne ruodha, mondo ayud ngʼwono e wangʼe.’”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
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.”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
Kane Jakobo owinjo mano luoro kod kibaji nogoye mangʼeny mi nopogo jambe, gi dhoge kod ngamia e migepe ariyo.
8 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Noparo e chunye niya, “Ka Esau omonjo migawo achiel, to migawo machielo modongʼ nyalo tony.”
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
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,’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
Alamo ni mondo iresa e lwet owadwa Esau nikech aluor ni obiro biro ma omonja kaachiel gi mon kod nyithindgi.
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.
To isewachona ni, ‘Adier abiro miyo inyaa kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi bedo mathoth ka kuoyo man e dho nam, ma ok nyal kwan.’”
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Jakobo nonindo kanyo, kendo kuom gik mane en-go ne oyiero mich ne owadgi Esau kaka:
14 Two hundred female goats, and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Diek mamon mia ariyo kod nywogi piero ariyo, rombe mamon mia ariyo gi imbe piero ariyo,
15 Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten foals.
ngamia mamon piero adek gi nyithindgi, dhok mamon piero angʼwen kod rwedhi apar, kod punde mamon piero ariyo kod punde machwo apar.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Noketogi e lwet jotichne ka moro ka moro otelone kweth ka kweth kendo nowachonegi niya, “Teluru nyima kuweyo thuolo e kind kweth ka kweth.”
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and where goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
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?’
18 Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
Eka iwachne ni, ‘Magi gin mag jatichni Jakobo. Gin mich ma oor ne ruodha Esau, Jakobo bende biro bangʼwa.’”
19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
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.
20 And say ye 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; perhaps he will accept of me.
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.”
21 So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Kuom mano mich Jakobo noter motelo, ka en to nodongʼ ei kambi.
22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Otienono Jakobo nochungʼ mokawo monde ariyo, jotichne mamon ariyo kod yawuote apar gachiel kendo negikadho aora mar Jabok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
Jakobo nokawo joge kaachiel gi gige mi nokowogi nyaka loka aora Jabok.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Bangʼ mano Jakobo nodongʼ kende, kendo ngʼato noi kode otieno duto nyaka okinyi.
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 out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Kane ngʼatno oneno ni ok onyal goye piny, nomulo fuoni mar bamne, kuom mano chieke nowil.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Ngʼatno nowacho niya, “We adhi, nikech en odiechiengʼ.” To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ok abi weyi idhi nyaka igwedha.”
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Ngʼatno nopenje niya, “Nyingi ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “Jakobo.”
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Eka ngʼatno nowacho niya, “Nyingi ok nochak oluongi ni Jakobo, to noluongi ni Israel nikech ise ii gi Nyasaye kod ji mi iseloyo.”
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Jakobo nowachone niya, “Asayi nyisa nyingi.” To nodwoko Jakobo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenjo nyinga?” Eka nogwedho Jakobo kanyo.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Kuom mano Jakobo nochako kanyo ni Peniel (tiende ni wangʼ Nyasaye) kowacho niya, “Nikech aseneno Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ kendo ngimana oresi.”
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.
Chiengʼ notuchne ka okadho Peniel kendo nowuotho kolingʼo nikech bamne nowil.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Mano emomiyo nyaka kawuono jo-Israel ok cham ringʼo moriwo fuond bam ka giparogo wil mar fuond bam Jakobo.
