In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.

BSB
BSB:
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.

Mulemvo ya nge, kuula munu na maboko ya mpangi ya munu Esawu! Mu kele na boma ti yandi kwiza kufwa munu, bamama na bana ya bawu.

BSB:
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.’”

Yakobi pesaka nkonga mosi-mosi ya bibulu na maboko ya bisadi ya yandi. Yandi tubaka na bawu: «Beno luta na mantwala ya munu. Konso nkonga kutambula mwa ntama na bampangi. Beno vwanda ve pene-pene na bampangi.»
BSB
BSB:
He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
17
MKW
Na kisadi ya ntete, Yakobi pesaka lutumu yayi: «Ntangu mpangi ya munu, Esawu, ke kutana na nge, kana yandi yufula nge: “Nani kele mfumu ya nge? Wapi kisika nge ke na kukwenda? Nkonga yina ke na kutambula na mantwala ya nge kele ya nani?”
BSB
BSB:
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?’
18
MKW
Nge ke vutula mutindu yayi: “Yawu kele ya kisyelo ya nge Yakobi. Yawu kele dikabu yina yandi me fidisa na nge mfumu ya munu, Esawu. Yandi mosi ke na kukwiza na manima ya beto.”»
BSB
BSB:
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.’”
19
MKW
Yakobi pesaka kaka lutumu yina na kisadi ya zole, na ya tatu, mpe na bantu nyonso yina vwandaka tambula na manima ya bibulu. Yandi tubaka na bawu: «Ni mutindu yina beno ke zonza na Esawu ntangu beno ke kutana na yandi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
20
MKW
Beno ke zabisa mpe yandi mutindu yayi: “Yandi mosi kisadi ya nge Yakobi ke na kukwiza na manima ya beto.”» Yakobi vwandaka tuba na yisi ya ntima ya yandi: «Mu ke lembisa ntima ya Esawu na dikabu yina ke na kutekila. Na manima, munu mosi mu ke talana na meso ya yandi. Mu ke na kivuvu ti, yandi ke yamba munu mbote.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
21
MKW
Dikabu yina yandi kubikaka tekilaka. Yandi mosi, yandi bikanaka na mpimpa yina, kuna na kisika yina bawu kwendaka vwanda.

So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22
MKW
Kaka na mpimpa yina, Yakobi telamaka mpe bakaka bakento ya yandi zole, na bisadi ya yandi zole ya bakento, mpe bana ya yandi kumi na mosi. Yandi sabukaka na bawu muzumba ya Yaboke, na kisika yina maza vwandaka mingi ve.

BSB:
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.
23

Yandi bakaka bawu, yandi sabulaka bawu. Yandi sabulaka mpe bima ya yandi.

He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24
MKW
Yakobi bikanaka yandi mosi. Muntu mosi nwanaka na yandi mpimpa nyonso tii na suka-suka.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25
MKW
Ntangu bawu vwandaka nwana, muntu yango talaka ti yandi vwandaka lenda ve na kununga Yakobi. Na yina, yandi bulaka Yakobi na dibunda. Mpe mukwa ya dibunda ya Yakobi kwabukaka na kisika yina yawu ke vukanaka na luketo.
BSB
BSB:
When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
26
MKW
Muntu yango tubaka: «Bika mu kwenda samu ti bwisi ke na kutsya.» Yakobi vutulaka: «Mu ke bika nge ve, kana nge sakumuna munu ve.»
BSB
BSB:
Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27
MKW
Muntu yango tubaka: «Nkumbu ya nge nani?» Yandi vutulaka: «Nkumbu ya munu Yakobi.»
BSB
BSB:
“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28
MKW
Muntu yango tubaka dyaka: «Nkumbu ya nge ke vwanda dyaka ve Yakobi, kasi, ya me kuma Isayeli. Samu ti, nge me nwana na Nzambi mpe na bantu, mpe nge me nunga.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
29
MKW
Yakobi yufulaka yandi: «Mulemvo ya nge, zabisa munu nkumbu ya nge.» Muntu yina vutulaka: «Samu na yinki nge ke na kuyufula nkumbu ya munu?» Na yina, muntu yango sakumunaka Yakobi.
BSB
BSB:
And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
31
MKW
Yakobi pesaka kisika yina nkumbu Penyele, samu ti yandi tubaka: «Mu me talasana na Nzambi, kasi mu me kufwa ve.»
BSB
BSB:
The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32
MKW
Ntangu Yakobi sabukaka muzumba ya Yaboke, na kisika ya Penwele, ntangu vwandaka me basika. Yandi vwandaka tambula mbote ve samu na dibunda ya yandi. Ni yawu yina, tii bubu yayi, bantu ya Isayeli ke kudyaka ve musisa yina ke vukisaka luketo na dibunda. Samu ti, ni na kisika yina ba bulaka Yakobi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
