Genesisy 32
1 Ary Jakoba nizotra tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany, dia nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra nitsena azy.
Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Ary hoy Jakoba, raha nahita ireo: Tobin’ Andriamanitra ity; ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe Mahanaima.
When he saw them, Jacob said, "This is God's camp." He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Ary nandefa iraka Jakoba hialoha azy ho any amin’ i Esao rahalahiny, ho any Seïra, tanin’ i Edoma.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom.
4 Ary nanome teny azy izy ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Esao tompoko: Izao no tenin’ i Jakoba mpanomponao: Efa nivahiny tany amin’ i Labana aho ka nitoetra tany mandraka ankehitriny;
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.
5 ary manana omby sy boriky sy ondry aman’ osy ary andevolahy aho; dia efa mba naniraka hanambara aminao tompokolahy ihany aho mba hahitako fitia eo imasonao.
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.'"
6 Dia niverina tany amin’ i Jakoba ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Tafahaona tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao izahay, ary izy koa dia avy hitsena anao mitondra olona efa-jato lahy.
The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him."
7 Dia natahotra indrindra Jakoba ka poritra dia poritra; dia nozarainy roa toko ny olona izay nomba azy mbamin’ ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ary ny rameva;
Then Jacob was very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps;
8 fa hoy izy: Raha tafahaona amin’ ny antokony anankiray Esao ka mamely azy, dia handositra kosa ny antokony anankiray.
and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."
9 Ary hoy Jakoba: E Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama raiko, sady Andriamanitr’ Isaka raiko, dia Jehovah Izay efa nanao tamiko hoe: Modia any amin’ ny taninao sy any amin’ ny havanao dia hanao soa aminao Aho;
Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,'
10 tsy mendrika ho nahazo na kely akory aza aho tamin’ ny famindram-po rehetra sy ny fahamarinana rehetra, izay nataonao tamiko mpanomponao; fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona afa-tsy ny tehiko ihany aho fony nita ity Jordana ity; nefa ankehitriny efa tonga toby roa aho.
I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 O vonjeo aho amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiko, dia amin’ ny tànan’ i Esao; fa matahotra azy aho, fandrao avy mamely ahy mbamin’ ny vadiko aman-janako izy.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
12 Fa Hianao efa nanao hoe: Hanisy soa anao tokoa Aho, ka hataoko maro ny taranakao ho tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, izay tsy azo isaina noho ny hamaroany.
You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can't be counted because there are so many.'"
13 Dia nitoetra teo izy tamin’ iny alina iny; ary naka tamin’ izay teo an-tànany izy mba hampanaterina ho an’ i Esao rahalahiny,
So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau:
14 dia osivavy roan-jato sy osilahy roa-polo, ondrivavy roan-jato sy ondrilahy roa-polo
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 ary rameva telo-polo ampianahany, vantotr’ ombivavy efa-polo sy vantotr’ ombilahy folo, borikivavy roa-polo ary zana-boriky folo.
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 Dia natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony ireny, mitokantokana isan-toko; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Mandehana eo alohako, ary asio elanelany eo amin’ ny isan-toko.
He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds."
17 Dia nanome teny ny voalohany izy ka nanao hoe: Raha mifanena aminao Esao rahalahiko ka manontany anao hoe: An’ iza ianao? ary hankaiza moa? ary an’ iza ireo alohanao?
He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?'
18 dia lazaonao hoe: An’ i Jakoba mpanomponao ireo, dia zavatra nampanaterina ho an’ itompokolahy Esao; ary indro koa izy ao aorianay ao.
Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is behind us.'"
19 Ary nanome teny ny faharoa sy ny fahatelo koa izy, ary izay rehetra nandeha nanaraka ny isan-toko, ka nanao hoe: Araka izany teny izany no lazaonareo amin’ i Esao, raha hitanareo izy.
He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 Ary lazao hoe koa: Indro, Jakoba mpanomponao ao aorianay ao. Fa hoy izy: Hampionona ny hatezerany aho amin’ ireo zavatra nampialohaviko ireo, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao hahita ny tavany aho; angamba hahazo fitia aminy aho.
You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me."
21 Ary dia lasa nialoha azy ireny zavatra nampanateriny ireny; fa izy mbola nitoetra teo amin’ ny toby ihany tamin’ iny alina iny.
So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Dia nitsangana tamin’ iny alina iny ihany izy ka nitondra ny vadiny roa vavy sy ny ankizivaviny roa ary ny zananilahy iraika ambin’ ny folo, dia nita tamin’ ny fitàna tao Jaboka izy.
He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Ary naka azy ireo izy, dia nampita azy tamin’ ny renirano, ary nampita ny fananany koa izy.
He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.
24 Dia Jakoba irery no sisa nitoetra teo; ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nitolona taminy ambara-pahazavaratsin’ ny andro.
Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
25 Ary rehefa hitany fa tsy naharesy azy izy, dia notendreny ny foto-peny; ka dia nivika ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba, raha mbola nitolona taminy Izy.
When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
26 Ary hoy Izy: Avelao Aho handeha, fa efa mazavaratsy ny andro. Fa hoy kosa Jakoba: Tsy havelako handeha Hianao, raha tsy tahinao aho.
Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
27 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Iza moa no anaranao? dia hoy izy: Jakoba.
And he said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
28 Ary hoy indray Izy: Tsy hatao hoe Jakoba intsony ny anaranao, fa Isiraely; satria efa nitolona tamin’ Andriamanitra sy tamin’ ny olona ianao ka nahery.
Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed."
29 Dia nanontany Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Masìna Hianao, lazao kely izay anaranao. Ary hoy Izy: Ahoana no anontanianao ny anarako? Dia nitahy azy teo Izy.
Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there.
30 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataon’ i Jakoba hoe Peniela; fa, hoy izy, efa nahita an’ Andriamanitra nifanatrika tamiko aho, nefa voavonjy ny aiko.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved."
31 Dia niposaka taminy ny masoandro, raha niala teo Peniela izy, ary nitolitsika izy noho ny feny.
The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip.
32 Izany no tsy ihinanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny ozatry ny atodiakanga mandraka androany; satria nanendry ny foto-pen’ i Jakoba teo amin’ ny ozatry ny atodiakanga Izy.
Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob's hip socket near that tendon.
