Genesis 32
1 Ke Jacob el som liki acn sac, oasr kutu lipufan lun God sonol.
And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
2 Ke el liyalosyak el fahk, “Acn in aktuktuk se lun God pa inge.” Ke ma inge el sang inen acn sac Mahanaim.
And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
3 Jacob el supwala kutu mwet utuk kas lal in som meet lukel nu yorol Esau, tamulel lal in facl Edom.
Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
4 El sap elos in fahk nu sel Esau ouinge: “Nga Jacob, mwet kulansap lom, tukakinyu nu sum, Esau, mwet kacto luk, lah nga tuh som muta yorol Laban, ac nga tuh ikolla pacl in folok luk nwe ke pacl se inge.
And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
5 Oasr cow, donkey, sheep, ac nani nutik, oayapa mwet kulansap luk mukul ac mutan. Nga supwaot kas luk nu sum, mwet kacto luk, ac finsrak mu in oasr kulang lom nu sik.”
And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
6 Ke mwet utuk kas inge foloko nu yorol Jacob elos fahk, “Kut tuh som nu yorol Esau tamulel lom, ac el mukuiyak tari in tuku osun nu sum. Oasr mwet angfoko lal welul.”
When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
7 Jacob el sangeng ac fosrnga. El kitalik mwet ma welul ah nu ke u luo, oayapa sheep, nani, cow, ac camel natul uh.
Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
8 El nunku sel mu, “Esau el fin tuku ac mweuni u se meet ah, na u se saya ac ku in kaingla.”
And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
9 Na Jacob el pre, “O God lal Abraham papa matu tumuk, ac God lal Isaac papa tumuk, porongeyu! LEUM GOD, kom tuh fahk nu sik mu nga in folokla nu yen sik ac nu yurin mwet luk, ac kom ac fah akwoye ma nukewa nu sik.
Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
10 Nga kupansuwol nu ke lupan kulang nukewa ac oaru lom su kom akkalemye nu sik, mwet kulansap lom. Ke nga som ah, nga fahsr alukela Infacl Jordan, wangin ma nga us sayen sikal soko, a inge nga foloko wi u luo inge.
I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
11 Nga pre nu sum, ac siyuk kom in moliyula lukel Esau, tamulel luk. Nga sangeng ac sensen mu el ac tuku mweuni kut ac sikikutla nufon, nwe ke mutan ac tulik inge.
Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
12 Esam lah kom tuh wulema mu kom ac oru ma nukewa in fahsr wo nu sik, ac ase fwilin tulik puspis nutik su wangin mwet ac ku in oakla, mweyen elos ac pukanten oana puk wekof uh.”
And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
13 Ouinge, el motulla we ke fong sac, ac el srela mwe lung nu sel Esau, ma lel, liki ma el us welul ah:
Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
14 nani mutan luofoko ac nani mukul longoul, sheep mutan luofoko ac ma mukul longoul,
Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
15 camel litop tolngoul ac natu natulos, cow mutan angngaul ac ma mukul singoul, donkey mutan longoul ac ma mukul singoul.
Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
16 El kitalik kosro inge nu ke u, ac filiya kais sie mwet kulansap lal in karingin kais sie un kosro. El fahk nu selos, “Fahsrot fahsr meet likiyu, ac oru in oasr masrol ke un kosro nukewa.”
These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
17 El sap nu sin mwet kulansap se ma fahsr oemeet, ac fahk, “Esau, ma lik, el fin sun kom ac siyuk, ‘Su mwet kacto lom uh? Kom ac som nu ya? Ac nutin su kosro ma kom pwen inge?’
And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
18 kom fah topuk, ‘Ma natul Jacob, mwet kulansap lom. El supu nu yorol Esau, leum lal, tuh in sie mwe kite nu sel. Jacob el a fahsru tokosr uh.’”
Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
19 El fahk oana inge nu sin el su akluo, aktolu, ac nu selos nukewa saya ma karingin kais sie u in kosro uh. “Pa inge ma kowos ac fahk nu sel Esau ke pacl se kowos ac sonol.
And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
20 Kowos enenu in fahk, ‘Aok, Jacob mwet kulansap lom el a na tokosr uh.’ Jacob el nunku sel sifacna mu, “Nga ac aklungyal ke mwe kite inge, ac ke pacl se nga ac osun nu sel uh, sahp el ac nunak munas nu sik.”
And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
21 El supwala mwe kite ingan meet lukel, ac el motulla ke nien aktuktuk lal ke fong sac.
So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
22 In fong sacna, Jacob el tukakek, eis mutan luo kial, mutan kulansap luo kial, ac tulik singoul sie natul, ac fahsr tupalla Infacl Jabbok.
And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
23 Tukun el supwalosla tupalla infacl ah, el oayapa supwala ma nukewa lal,
He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
24 a el mukena muta. Na mwet se tuku apurak nu sel nwe ke na apkuran in lenelik.
Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
25 Ke mwet sac liye lah el ac kofla kutangulla, el liksreni tukya fonohl Jacob ac tusrilelik kupasr in fonohl.
But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
26 Na mwet sac fahk, “Filiyula ngan som. Akuranna lenelik.” Ac Jacob el fahk, “Nga ac tia filikomla nwe ke na kom akinsewowoyeyula.”
And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
27 Na mwet sac siyuk sel, “Su inem an?” Ac el fahk, “Jacob.”
Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
28 Na mwet sac sifilpa fahk, “Inem ac fah tia sifilpa pangpang Jacob. Kom amei yurin God ac yurin mwet, ac kom kutangla. Ke ma inge inem ac fah pangpang Israel.”
And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
29 Jacob el fahk, “Ac kom, su inem an?” Ac mwet sac fahk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek?” Na el akinsewowoyalla Jacob.
Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
30 Jacob el fahk, “Nga liye na pwaye God ke mutuk, ac nga srakna moul.” Ouinge el sang inen acn sac Peniel.
And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
31 Faht ah takak ke Jacob el som liki acn Peniel, ac el fahsr osak mweyen ngal fonohl.
And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
32 Fwilin tulik natul Israel uh tia kang ikwa ma oan fin kupasr ke fonoh nwe misenge, mweyen acn se inge pa tukyuki kacl Jacob ah.
For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
