Genesis 32
1 Ke Jacob el som liki acn sac, oasr kutu lipufan lun God sonol.
Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
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: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
3 Jacob el supwala kutu mwet utuk kas lal in som meet lukel nu yorol Esau, tamulel lal in facl Edom.
And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to 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 commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day.
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.”
I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.
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.”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
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 greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
8 El nunku sel mu, “Esau el fin tuku ac mweuni u se meet ah, na u se saya ac ku in kaingla.”
Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape.
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.
And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee,
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 not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies.
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.
Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children.
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.”
Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 Ouinge, el motulla we ke fong sac, ac el srela mwe lung nu sel Esau, ma lel, liki ma el us welul ah:
And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
14 nani mutan luofoko ac nani mukul longoul, sheep mutan luofoko ac ma mukul longoul,
Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 camel litop tolngoul ac natu natulos, cow mutan angngaul ac ma mukul singoul, donkey mutan longoul ac ma mukul singoul.
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
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.”
And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove.
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 commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee?
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.’”
Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob’s: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh 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.
In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find 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 ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.
21 El supwala mwe kite ingan meet lukel, ac el motulla ke nien aktuktuk lal ke fong sac.
So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
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 rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
23 Tukun el supwalosla tupalla infacl ah, el oayapa supwala ma nukewa lal,
And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
24 a el mukena muta. Na mwet se tuku apurak nu sel nwe ke na apkuran in lenelik.
He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
25 Ke mwet sac liye lah el ac kofla kutangulla, el liksreni tukya fonohl Jacob ac tusrilelik kupasr in fonohl.
And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
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, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
27 Na mwet sac siyuk sel, “Su inem an?” Ac el fahk, “Jacob.”
And he said: What is thy name? He answered: 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.”
But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
29 Jacob el fahk, “Ac kom, su inem an?” Ac mwet sac fahk, “Efu ku kom ke etu inek?” Na el akinsewowoyalla Jacob.
Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.
30 Jacob el fahk, “Nga liye na pwaye God ke mutuk, ac nga srakna moul.” Ouinge el sang inen acn sac Peniel.
And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
31 Faht ah takak ke Jacob el som liki acn Peniel, ac el fahsr osak mweyen ngal fonohl.
And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
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.
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob’s thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
