Dud'uit Fefeu' a 32
1 Basa ma, Yakob se laoꞌ rakandoo. Ma Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rema randaa ro e.
Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Ana nita se ma, olaꞌ nae, “Ia, Lamatualain soldꞌadꞌu nara mamana hahae ao nara!” Naa de, ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Mahanaim (sosoa na ‘mamana hahaeꞌ rua’).
When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God's camp,” so he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Basa naa ma, Yakob denu atahori nara hira, lao raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ nusa Edom (nara feaꞌ na, Seir), fo rafadꞌe aꞌa na Esau rae, eni nae nema.
Jacob sent messengers on ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
4 Yakob denu se nae, “Mi mifadꞌe au aꞌa ngga Esau taꞌo ia: ‘Malangga Esau! Malangga ate na, odꞌi Yakob, fee dudꞌuꞌa-aꞌafiꞌ neu malangga. Mia au lalao ngga dalahulu na, losa faiꞌ ia, malangga ate na ia, leo sia toꞌo Labꞌan ume na.
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you will say to my master Esau: This is what your servant Jacob says: 'I have been staying with Laban, and have delayed my return until now.
5 Ia naa, malangga ate na ia, naꞌena sapi, keledei, hiek-lombo, ma ate touꞌ ma inaꞌ. Au fee atahori ia ra raꞌahuluꞌ, fo rafadꞌe malangga, au uꞌuma ngga. Au oꞌe, malangga hii simbo hai no maloleꞌ.” Yakob denu basa taꞌo naa ma, atahori naa ra lao.
I have oxen, donkeys, and flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent this message to my master, so that I may find favor in your eyes.'”
6 Ara baliꞌ risiꞌ Yakob ma, rafadꞌe rae, “Hai mindaa mo amaꞌ aꞌa na Esau ena. Ia naa, ana nema no touꞌ natun haa, fo rae randaa ro amaꞌ.”
The messengers returned to Jacob and said, “We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Yakob rena nala ma, tenda na rombe, huu namatau nala seli. De ana bꞌanggi atahori nara no banda nara, neu nononggoꞌ rua.
Then Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, and also the flocks, the herds, and the camels.
8 Ana duꞌa nae, “Mete ma Esau nema namue mana sia mataꞌ ra, naa, mana sia deaꞌ ra bisa rela sangga masodꞌa.”
He said, “If Esau comes to one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape.”
9 Basa ma, Yakob hule-oꞌe nae, “Lamatualain, e! Lamatualain fo au baꞌi Abraham no ama Isak ngga beꞌuteeꞌ a. Rena au dei! Fai maꞌahulu na, Lamatualain denu au baliꞌ uma sia bobꞌonggi nggara, sia nusaꞌ ia. Ma Lamatualain o helu nae, dei fo Lamatualain tao natetu basa ia ra.
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 kindred, and I will prosper you,'
10 Au nda undaa sa te, Lamatualain sue au, ma mete-seꞌu au nakandooꞌ a. Maꞌahulu na, au nggani loe Yarden ia, au endi akaꞌ a teteas. Te ia naa, au baliꞌ uma endi atahori no banda nononggoꞌ rua.
I am not worthy of all your acts of covenant faithfulness and of all the trustworthiness that you have done for your servant. For with only my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 Au umutau, afiꞌ losa aꞌa Esau nema namue fo tao nisa basa hai. De au oꞌe Lamatualain fee masodꞌa neu au, o basa sao-ana nggara, mia e.
Please rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.
12 Lamatualain o mana helu mae fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae-nae, ma tao tititi-nonosi nggara boe ramaheta, onaꞌ a saraꞌae sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda ito-reken rala sa.”
But you said, 'I will certainly make you prosper. I will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for their number.'”
13 Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ sia mamanaꞌ naa. Mbila fefetu na ma, ana haꞌi banda nae fee aꞌa na Esau.
Jacob stayed there that night. He took some of what he had with him as a gift for Esau, his brother:
14 Ana tengga nala bibꞌi hiek ine natun rua, bibꞌi hiek mone rua nulu, bibꞌi lombo ine natun rua, bibꞌi lombo mone rua nulu,
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 banda onta ine telu nulu ro ana nara feꞌe mana susuꞌ, sapi ine haa nulu, sapi mone sanahulu, keledei ine rua nulu, ma keledei mone sanahulu.
thirty milking camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16 Ana banggi banda ra mataꞌ esa-esaꞌ no nononggo na. Ma ana fee nononggoꞌ esa-esaꞌ no manatadꞌa na. Ana nafadꞌe se nae, “Laoꞌ miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo au tungga deaꞌ. Te hei musi minea fo nononggoꞌ esa naꞌadꞌooꞌ no esa.”
These he gave these into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself. He said to his servants, “Go on ahead of me and put a space between each of the herds.”
17 Ma Yakob parenda manatadꞌa mia nononggoꞌ maꞌahuluꞌ a nae, “Mete ma au aꞌa ngga Esau nandaa no nggo, ma natane nae, ‘Ho mae bee muu? Ho ia, seka ate na? Banda ia ra, seka ena nara?’
He instructed the first servant, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? Whose animals are these that are in front of you?'
18 naa, musi mutaa mae, ‘Banda ia ra, malangga ate na Yakob ena na. Ana haitua fee aꞌa na, Esau. Te ana feꞌe tungga dea.
Then you will say, 'They are your servant Jacob's. They are a gift sent to my master Esau. See, he is also coming after us.'”
19 Yakob o fee parendaꞌ onaꞌ naa neu basa manatadꞌa feaꞌ nara nae, “Mete ma mindaa mo aꞌa Esau, fee banda naa ra reu e, dei fo mifadꞌe mae au feꞌe tungga deaꞌ.” Ana duꞌa nae, mete ma fee basa banda naa ra reu Esau, naa, Esau rala na namaloa no e.
Jacob also gave instructions to the second group, the third, and all the men who followed the herds. He said, “You will say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.
You must also say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming after us.'” For he thought, “I will appease him with the gifts that I am sending ahead of me. Then later, when I will see him, perhaps he will receive me.”
21 Dadꞌi ana haitua banda ra raꞌahuluꞌ, te tetembaꞌ naa, ana feꞌe nahani sia naa.
So the gifts went on ahead of him. He himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Tetembaꞌ naa, Yakob fela, de naꞌabꞌue sao nara ruꞌa se, sao tias nara ruꞌa se, ma ana nara sanahulu esa. Ana denu se nggani raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ loe Yabok seriꞌ.
Jacob got up during the night, and he took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons. He sent them across the ford of the Jabbok.
23 Ara losa seriꞌ ma, ana haitua basa hata-heto nara naa reu.
In this way he sent them across the stream along with all his possessions.
24 Te Yakob mesaꞌ ne nahani sia naa. Boe ma, touꞌ esa nema, napote no e losa deka manggarelo.
Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25 Touꞌ a medꞌa naeꞌ a kala ma, ana hemba Yakob soꞌe noo na, de rui bobꞌonggo na lao hela manggo na.
When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob's hip. Jacob's hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
26 Boe ma, touꞌ a nae, “Mboꞌi au, te mbeifen te, relo a todꞌa ena.” Te Yakob nataa nae, “Olaꞌ fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, dei fo au mboꞌi nggo!”
The man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Touꞌ a nataa nae, “Ho naram, seka?” Nataa nae, “Yakob.”
The man said to him, “What is your name?” Jacob said, “Jacob.”
28 Te touꞌ a olaꞌ nae, “Ho naram, nda Yakob sa ena. Mia leleꞌ ia, atahori roꞌe nggo rae Israꞌel, huu mufetu mo atahori ma Lamatualain, losa musenggiꞌ se.” (Naraꞌ Israꞌel sosoa na ‘mana napote no Lamatualain’.)
The man said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel. For you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”
29 Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Ho naram, seka?” Te touꞌ a nae, “Mutane nara ngga, tao sa?” Boe ma ana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Yakob sia naa.
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 Boe ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Au ita Lamatualain mata Na, te au feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.” Huu naa, ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Peniel, sosoan ‘Lamatualain mata na’.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered.”
31 Relo a todꞌa ma, Yakob lao hela mamanaꞌ naa. Te ana laoꞌ doka-doka, huu saka buku na nelasala.
The sun rose on Jacob as he passed Peniel. He was limping because of his hip.
32 Naa de losa fai ia, atahori Israꞌel ra nda raa sisi banda saka bukuꞌ sa, huu Lamatualain poko nasalaꞌ baꞌi Yakob saka buku na.
That is why to this day the people of Israel do not eat the ligaments of the hip which are at the hip joint, because the man injured those ligaments while dislocating Jacob's hip.
