Genesis 32
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Tedae Jakob loh amah longpuei ah a caeh hatah anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek loh a doe uh.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Tedae Jakob loh amih te a hmuh vaengah, “Hekah he Pathen kah rhaehhmuen ni,” a ti tih tekah hmuen ming te Mahanaim a sui.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Edom kho, Seir khohmuen la a maya Esau taengah a hmai la puencawn rhoek te a tueih.
4 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.
Te vaengah amih te a uen tih, “Ka boei Esau taengah he he thui pah. ‘Na sal Jakob tah Laban taengah ka bakuep tih tahae duela ka uelh.
5 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.’”
Te phoeiah kai taengah vaito neh laak boiva khaw, sal neh salnu khaw om. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen dang hamla ka boeipa taengah aka puen la kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
6 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.”
Tedae puencawn rhoek te Jakob taengla mael uh tih, “Na maya Esau taengla ka cet uh coeng, nang te doe ham a taengkah hlang ya li neh halo coeng,” a ti na uh.
7 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.
Te vaengah Jakob loh bahoeng a rhih tih amah te daengdaeh uh. Te dongah a taengkah pilnam te khaw, boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, kalauk rhoek khaw rhoi nit la a tael.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
Te khaw Esau loh rhoi at te a paan tih a ngawn atah rhoi at aka om te khaw rhalyong la om saeh a ti dongah ni.
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
Te phoeiah Jakob loh, “Kai taengah, ‘Namah khohmuen neh na pacaboeina taengla bal lamtah nang te kan hoeikhang sak ni,’ aka ti a pa Abraham kah Pathen neh a pa Isaak kah BOEIPA Pathen,
10 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.
Sitlohnah cungkuem neh uepomnah cungkuem te na salpa taengah nan saii hamtah rhaidaeng. Ka conghol neh Jordan he ka kat ngawn dae rhoi nit la ka lo coeng.
11 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.
Ka maya kut lamloh, Esau kut lamkah kai n'huul mai dae. Anih te ka rhih, halo vetih camoe rhoek neh a manu rhoek khaw, kamah khaw n'ngawn ve.
12 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.’”
Tedae namah loh, ‘Hoeikhang ham khaw nang te kan hoeikhang sak vetih nang kah tiingan te tuitunli kah laivin bangla ka khueh vetih tae thai mahpawh,’ na ti,” tila thangthui.
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
Te dongah teah te khoyin puet rhaeh. A kut ah a khuen te khaw a maya Esau ham khosaa la,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Maae a la yahnih neh maaetal pumkul, tumanu yahnih neh tutal pumkul.
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
Kalauk cacun te a ca rhoek hmaih neh thumkip, vaito a la likip neh vaitotal pumrha, laak a la pumkul neh laaktal pumrha a paek.
16 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.”
Te phoeiah tuping, tuping te amah loh a sal rhoek kut ah a tloeng tih a sal rhoek te, “Kai hmai ah cet lamtah tuping laklo neh tuping laklo te hnalak khueh uh,” a ti nah.
17 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?’
Te phoeiah lamhma taengah, “Ka maya Esau te na hum uh tih, ‘Nang ulae? Melam na caeh eh? Na hmaikah rhoek he u kah lae,’ a ti tih n'dawt vaengah,
18 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.’”
‘Na sal Jakob kah ni. Hekah he ka boeipa Esau taengah khosaa la ham pat tih amah khaw kaimih hnukkah halo ke,’ ti nah,” a ti tih a uen.
19 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.
Te phoeiah a pabae te khaw, a pathum te khaw, tuping hnukah aka cet boeih te khaw, “Nangmih khaw Esau neh na hum uh vaengah hekah olka he thikat la thui uh lamtah,
20 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.”
‘Nang kah sal Jakob khaw kaimih hnukah om ke,’ na ti uh ni,” a ti tih a uen. Ba dongah tikoinih, “Ka mikhmuh kah aka pongpa khosaa neh a hmai ka sak pah vetih, te phoeiah tah a maelhmai ka hmuh vaengah kai maelhmai khaw a hlam khaming,” a ti.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Te dongah khosaa te a hmai la a caeh sak. Tedae amah tah rhaehhmuen ah hlaem at rhaeh pueng.
22 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.
Tedae tekah khoyin ah thoo tih a yuu rhoi neh a salnu rhoi khaw, a ca rhoek hlai at te khaw a loh tih Jabbok lamkai ah a kat puei.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Amih te khaw a khuen tih a thak phoeiah amah taengah aka om rhoek te khaw soklong la a tueih.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
Te vaengah Jakob te amah bueng la a cul coeng dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh khothaih tom due a hnueih.
25 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.
Tedae anih te ka na pawh tila a hmuh vaengah Jakob kah a hlit te a koi pah tih anih te a hnueih pangthuem Jakob kah a hlit te voeng nong.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
Te vaengah, “Khothaih loh n'kae coeng tih kai n'hlah laeh,” a ti nah hatah Jakob loh, “Kai he yoethen nan paek hlan atah nang khaw kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
Te dongah amah la, “Nang ming te balae,” a ti nah hatah, “Jakob,” a ti nah dae,
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
“Na ming te Jakob ti voel boel lamtah Pathen neh hlang rhoek te na hnueih tih na na coeng dongah Israel ti laeh,” a ti nah.
29 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.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a dawt tih, “Na ming te thui lah,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming he ba ham lae nan dawt,” a ti nah tih anih te yoethen pahoi a paek.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
Te dongah Jakob loh, “Pathen maelhmai te a hmai lamloh ka hmuh coeng dae ka hinglu huul uh,” a ti dongah tekah hmuen ming te Peniel a sui.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
Tedae Penuel te a poeng vanneh a soah khomik thoeng. Anih khaw a hlit dongah cungdo phai.
32 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.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a hlit dongkah tharhui thanal te tihnin due ca uh pawh. Jakob kah tharhui thanal ah aka om a hlit te a koi pah coeng.
