Genesisy 32
1 Nanonjohy i lia’ey t’Iakòbe le nifanalaka ama’e o anjelin’ Añahareo;
Jacob [Supplanter] went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 aa ie niisa’ Iakòbe le nanao ty hoe, Toben’Añahare itoy, le natao’e ty hoe Makanaime i toetse zay.
When he saw them, Jacob [Supplanter] said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim [Two camps].
3 Nirahe’ Iakòbe ty hiaolo aze mb’ amy Esave rahalahi’e mb’an-tane Seira, tane’ i Edome añe,
Jacob [Supplanter] sent messengers in front of him to Esau [Hairy], his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom [Red].
4 le nafanto’e ami’ty hoe, Endeso mb’amy talèko Esave añe o entañe zao, Hoe ty enta’ Iakòbe mpitoro’o, Nañialo amy Labàne ao raho, le nitambatse añe ampara’ henane;
He enjoined them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau [Hairy]: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob [Supplanter], says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban [White], and stayed until now.
5 Amañ’ añombe naho borìke, mpirai-lia naho ondevo ampela naho lahy; le nampihitrifeko mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo ty saontsy hahatreavako fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o.
I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find chen ·grace· in your sight.’”
6 Nibalike mb’am’Iakòbe i ìrake rey nitalily ty hoe, Nivotrak’ amy Esave rahalahi’o zahay, le mb’etoan-dre hifanalaka ama’o rekets’ondaty efa-jato.
The messengers returned to Jacob [Supplanter], saying, “We came to your brother Esau [Hairy]. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.”
7 Nirevendreveñe naho nangebahebak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe; le zinara’e ho lia roe ze hene ondaty ama’eo naho o mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo vaho o ramevao
Then Jacob [Supplanter] was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
8 fa hoe re, Aa naho pok’ami’ty lia-raike t’i Esave vaho horidañe’e, le hifiora’ i sehanga’ey.
and he said, “If Esau [Hairy] comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 Le hoe t’Iakòbe, O ry Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame raeko naho Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke raeko, ry Iehovà nanao tamako ty hoe, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’o mb’amo longo’oo mb’eo vaho hanoako soa.
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “God of my father Abraham [Father of a multitude], and God of my father Isaac [Laughter], Adonai, who said to me, ‘Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
10 Tsy mañeva ahiko ty piliti’e amo fiferenaiña’oo naho amo figahiña’o amo mpitoro’oo, kanao reketse kobaiñe raho te nitsake ty Iordane toy vaho fa aman-dia’e roe henaneo.
I am not worthy of the least of all the cheshed ·loving-kindnesses·, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan [Descender]; and now I have become two companies.
11 Mihalaly ama’o, hahao am-pitàn-drahalahiko, am-pità’ i Esave, fa ihembañako, hera homb’eto re handafa ahy naho rakemba reketse keleiañe.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau [Hairy]: for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers with the children.
12 Ihe fa nitsara ty hoe, Toe hañasoa azo raho, vaho hampiraeko amo fasen-driakeo o tarira’oo, ze tsy mete iaheñe ty amo fifamorohota’eo.
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.’”
13 Aa le nitobe eo re amy haleñey, vaho nilivae’e amo raha rinambem-pità’eo ty ho ravoravo amy Esave zoke’e:
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him, a present for Esau [Hairy], his brother:
14 ose-vave roanjato, naho oselahy roa-polo, añondri-vave roanjato naho añondri-lahy roapolo,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 rameva minono rekets’ ana’e telopolo, añombe-vave efapolo, añombe-lahy folo, borìke vave roapolo, vaho ana-borìke folo.
thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 Natolo’e an-taña’ o mpitoro’eo irezay, sindre lia’e, vaho hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Iaolò raho naho adaradiso ami’ty lia-raike ty lia-raike.
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.”
17 Le hoe re amy aoloy, Ie mifanampe ama’o t’i Esave zokeko, manao ty hoe, Ama’ia rehe? Homb’aia v’iheo? vaho ho ama’ ia o aolo’oo?
He enjoined the foremost, saying, “When Esau [Hairy], my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
18 le hoe ty hatoi’o: A i Iakòbe mpitoro’oy, ravoravo nampisangitrife’e amy Esave talekoy; Indroy ie! manonjohy anay.
Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob [Supplanter]’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau [Hairy]. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 Izay ty nafanto’e amy faharoey naho amy fahateloy, vaho amo nanonjohy i mpirai-lia rey iabio, ami’ty hoe: Ty hoe zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Esave te mizo aze
He enjoined also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau [Hairy], when you find him.
20 le tovoño ty hoe, Ingo, manonjohy anay t’Iakòbe mpitoro’o; ty amy asa’e ty hoe, Hampanintsiñeko amo ravoravo miaolo ahio ty haviñera’e; ie añe le ho treako ty lahara’e, ke ho no’e.
You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob [Supplanter], 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.”
21 Aa le nitsake aolo’ aze i banabana’ey, ie nialeñe an-kialo atoy.
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Nitroatse amy haleñey re, ninday i vali’e roe rey naho i mpitoro’e roe rey, vaho i ana-dahy folo-raik’ amby rey nitsake ami’ty fitsaha’ Iabòke.
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.
23 Nasese’e mb’eo naho nampitsahe’e i torahañey vaho nampitsahe’e ze tama’e.
He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Aa le nidoke ho vahiny t’Iakòbe vaho nigarabiñe ama’e ty lahilahy ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray.
Jacob [Supplanter] was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 Ie nioni’e te tsy hahagiok’ aze, le pinao’e ty fikatsoha’ ty moja’e, vaho nikatsoke ty moja’ Iakòbe amy fifandrapaha’ey.
When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob [Supplanter]’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled.
26 Le hoe re, Avotsoro fa hanjirike i àndroy. Fe hoe re, Tsy havotsoko naho tsy itata’o hey.
The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob [Supplanter] said, “I won’t let you go, unless you bless me.”
27 Aa le nanoa’e ty hoe, Ia ty añara’o? Iakòbe, hoe re.
He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob [Supplanter]”.
28 Le hoe re, Tsy hatao Iakòbe ka ty tahina’o, fa Israele, amy t’ie nifanehak’ aman’ Andrianañahare naho am’ondatio vaho nahatañe.
He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob [Supplanter], but Israel [God prevails]; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Hoe ty nañontanea’ Iakòbe, Ehe, itsarao ty tahina’o. Fa hoe re, Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako? Le nitata’e eo.
Jacob [Supplanter] asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” and he blessed him there.
30 Aa le natao’ Iakòbe ty hoe Penoele i toetsey, ami’ty hoe, Nifañatre-daharañe aman’ Añahare raho, fe narova’e ty fiaiko.
Jacob [Supplanter] called the name of the place Peniel: for, he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Nanjirike i àndroy t’ie nitsake e Penoele ty amy moja’ey.
The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 Aa le tsy fikamà’ o nte-Israeleo pake henane ty oza’ i moja mipitek’ am-pikatsohañey, amy te nipaohe’e ty oza’ i fikatsoha’ i moja’ Iakòbey ami’ty lahin-oza’ i tohakeiy.
Therefore the children of Israel [God prevails] 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 [Supplanter]’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
