Genesis 32 (JUM)

1Aŋ Yaagüüp jujjin woo attä kä päy aŋ malaŋŋi yek Jooŋ pärjene kä.Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

2Aŋ wääna yoorene daa kä Yaagüüp ye, ike jaajjin ogo, “A nänṭä kääygä Jooŋ inni.” Aŋ ina ken nänṭä yaanna äkkeeda ogo Manaayim yaanna.When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.

3Aŋ Yaagüüp tuccin tüüjgï ñome ti attä pärjïdï ke määden Ïïcü ŋommañ mä Cïïr ti baan mooye mä Ïdoom ti.Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

4Aŋ eenjene aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ikee ate aŋ mügdo yeeni Ïïcü kiine ogo, ‘Kiingon yüünü Yaagüüp jääyïdï ogo, “Ika attä Laabaan ti, aŋ ikoon cääyon ke ike ke tiññaŋ.He instructed them, “You are to say to my master Esau, ‘Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now.

5Ika cääyga däk, ke tüürüŋŋï ke ḍiik ke kiinkä oogen ke määngen. Ika tuucunu ṭäkä nüütküdü mügdo yeeni ogo ika käñjo ŋerrä ïkï ti.”’”I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”

6Aŋ tüüjgï ḍuukin Yaagüüp ti, aŋ jaajjin ogo, “Ikoon atton määdic Ïïcü ti. Aŋ ike äätïdï ike pärjede aŋ ike ädit ook caykä mäyken kä ŋan.”When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him.”

7Aŋ Yaagüüp booññu kä yaac aŋ yore rüütte, aŋ m'aka ke ike ye kiimme gïtï kurku kä yew, ke ḍiik ke däk ke kälämgä.In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.

8Aŋ Yaagüüp jaajjin ogo, “Naana Ïïcü ätä aŋ kun keelok irke ye, yakkalaŋ lïïṭï lïkcï woo.”He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”

9Aŋ Yaagüüp jaajjin ogo, “Ay Jooŋ yen daan wäyo Abrayiim ke wäyo Icaak, ay Pïṭo ika kiinnaa ogo, ‘Ḍukcu baan yüünü ti ke mä yüükü ti, nuŋko bi näŋgenii kä ŋerrä ye.’Then Jacob declared, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the LORD who told me, ‘Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,’

10Ika batta päjjädä kä biilin yaana batta düüñïdï ye ke woṇṇu yaana nüütkana kä ika kiingon yüünü ye. Aŋ wääna ircänä woo wii mä Üürdün ye a lacan pare ken äddä. Aŋ tiññaŋ ika wäättä kurku kä yewwe.I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.

11Kura magja kä määdo Ïïcü. Ika booju kä ike, nuŋko äätïdï aŋ ika irkada, ke määngä ke merkä.Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.

12Aŋ ïkï jaajjini ogo, ‘A gïtken ika ïkï bi näŋgeni ŋerrä, aŋ kilkä yüükü bi naŋä bata ṭiŋal yek wii jïñe yaaka batta lïïltä me kä paŋŋä ye.’”But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”

13Aŋ ike nïïnnä wïca wïïrïn jïñe yaanja ti, aŋ waak yeeke ti ike määden Ïïcü wäkkene woo iñdin.Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:

14Aŋ wäkkene woo ḍiik määngen 200, ke ñukku caykä kä yew, ke käbälgä määngen 200, ke käbälgä yätken caykä kä yew,200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,

15ke kälämgä määngen caykä kä ḍäk ke ṭulgen, ke däk caykä kä ŋan ke yätkä kä caay, ke tüürüŋŋï määngen caykä kä yew aŋ oogen kä caay.30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.

16Aŋ yaakka iññe kiinkä yeeke aŋ ike jaajjin ogo, “Ate ñomi ti aŋ waan yaŋkalaŋ dale kun yaŋkalaŋ atï ñomuk aŋ yaŋkalaŋ kä ŋäjäk.”He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”

17Aŋ kiingon yaana ïïjjïdï ye iingene ogo, “Naana määdo Ïïcü purjene kä aŋ ïkï tajdey ogo, ‘Ïkï agä män ŋaani? Aŋ ïkï atä wa? Aŋ a ḍiik ŋaani ika ye?’He instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’

18I luugu ogo, ‘A yek kiingon yüünü Yaagüüp, yaakki a iñdin tuckudu mügdo yeeni Ïïcü. Aŋ Yaagüüp kä ḍoŋe bilti äätä ŋätko ti.’”then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.’”

19Aŋ yewwe yeene ke ḍäke eenjene kä jiik keelkä ke yaaka muure baadit ḍigärgä ye, ogo, “Ikee jaajje jiik keelkä Ïïcü ti naana ike kaññe ye.He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.

20Aŋ ikee jaajje ogo, ‘Kiingon yüünü Yaagüüp bilti äätä ŋätko ti.’” Ike payit ogo, “Bi läägä juuggin ïñï kä iñdin yaaka atï ñomi ti yaakki. Aŋ wäättan naana yooru ye, naana ṭäkï ye ika bi gïmga.”You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”

21Aŋ ike a tüccïnï iñdin ñomuk aŋ ike nïïnnä nänṭä keeññi.So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.

22Aŋ mïïllä jïñe keellä yaanja ti ike juwin ñaalok aŋ määngä yeeke yaaka kä yewwe ye koowne ke kiinkä yeeke määngen, ke merkä yeeke yaaka caay wiñen kä keelok ye, aŋ ircin woo wii mä Yabüük.During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

23Aŋ iken koowne aŋ tucce ircin woo wii, ke wakkä yeeke muure yaaka bilti ye,He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.

24aŋ Yaagüüp dalji me ïñï pare. Aŋ mügjïn ke oon ke buur kääje.So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25Aŋ wääna yoorene daa kä oon yuccee kä ye. I Yaagüüp jemme ḍïïne ti, aŋ ḍïïne kooynu wääna mükcete kä ye.When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.

26Aŋ kiini oon ogo, “Dalä ika atä buur kääjin.” Aŋ kiini Yaagüüp ogo, “Ïkï batta äkkedeni atä ke ŋüülkaa kä.”Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

27Aŋ taaji oon ogo, “Ïkï batti me ogo ŋaani?” Aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ika batta me ogo, Yaagüüp.”“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.

28Aŋ kiini oon ogo, “Yäṇtonḍü ŋuca batta bi battä me ogo Yaagüüp, ïkï bi batti me ogo Icärayiil. A nääŋka mügjene ke Jooŋ ke me, aŋ yoññeeda kä ye.”Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”

29Aŋ Yaagüüp jaajjin ogo, “Nüütkaa yäṇtonḍü.” Aŋ taaji oon ogo, “Ika tajdaa kä yäṇtonḍi ina?” Aŋ wäättan ŋüülkene wïca.And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.

30Aŋ Yaagüüp nänṭä äkkene ogo Pïnïyel. Aŋ naana aŋan ye i ogo, “Ikoon yuurtonon woŋgin ke Jooŋ, aŋ ika por daa agä üdon.”So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

31Aŋ wääna Pïnïyel daljedeeda kä ïñï ye i kääcki äŋ wïca aŋ ike ŋoldïdï kä yaana ḍïïne agee kä kooyon kä ye.The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.

32Ina ke tiññaŋ mä Icärayiil batta ämene kä puuc mäyken waadgä ḍïïnä yaanna kä yaana Yaagüüp jemmeeda kä ḍïïne ti ye.Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
