Genesis 32 (WLO)

1Yakub apalausakamo lingkaana, kasiimpomo manga malaaʼekatina Aulataʼala aumba apokawaakea.Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

2Mboo sumai Yakub akamatea manga, incia apogaumo, "Siimo satotuuna pokemaana tantarana malaaʼekatina Aulataʼala!" Siitumo asarongiakamea tampa incia sumai Mahanaim.When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.

3Sapadhana incia sumai, Yakub alambokomo pia-pia mia tumpuana porikana apokawaaka Esau, o akana, i Tana Seir, i lipu Edom.Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

4Kasameana i manga incia, "Mboo siimo tabeana ingkomiu upogauakea i opuku, Esau: 'Bhatuamu, Yakub, apogau, "Kangengena sii kumboore i Laban mboo dhaga tee kumboore iwe sumai sampe sii-sii.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.

5Iaku dhaangia tee gulumana sapi, keledai, bhembe dumba, manga bhatua umane tee bhawine, tee kulamboko tumpuaku to apaumbaaka hali incia sumai i opuku, mamudhaakana opu umaasiakaaku."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.’”

6Kasiimpomo manga tumpuana sumai uka ambuli i Yakub tee apogau, "Ingkami padhamo tapokawaaka Esau, o akamu, tee incia uka tangasaana alingka to apokawaakako, apoose 400 mia manga umane."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.”

7Sanampuu amaekamo mpuu Yakub sampe amasee poinuncana. Sumaimo incia agaatimea manga mia mopoosena tee uka gulumana bhembe dumbana, sapi tee unta to apamembalia rua rombonga.In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.

8Sababuna incia afikiri, "Ande Esau aumbati aewangi sala saangu rombongana, sumaimo rombongana sagaanana bheasalaamati."He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”

9Kasiimpo apogaumo Yakub, "E Aulataʼala, isombana opuaku Ibrahim tee amaku Ishak, e KAWASANA OPU mopadhana motumpuaku, 'Mbuli pendua i lipumu tee i manga witinaimu tee Iaku bhekupewau malape i ingkoo,'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,’

10iaku inda alaenga to kutarima moomini saidhe mpuu minaaka i bhari-bharia kaasimu molagina mopadhana isusuakana KAWASANA OPU i bhatuamu sii. Roonamo wakutuuna kupolimba i Umala Yordan sii i piamo itu tangkanamo katukoku sii ibhawaku, maka sii-sii iaku kumembalimo rua rombonga.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.

11Maka, rambasakaaku minaaka i limana Esau, akaku, roonamo kumaeka i incia; ancosala aumba to abhaliaku, tee uka manga bhawineku tee manga anaku.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.

12Kuemani bholi umalinguakea opea ijanjiakamu, 'Iaku dhaanamo bhekupewau malape i ingkoo tee kupamembalia siwulumu mboomo bhone i tawo, inda atolentu kabharina.' "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.’”

13Yakub uka apomalomo iwe sumai. Kasiimpomo aalamo sagaa minaaka i manga harataa pewauana to adhawuaka i Esau, o akana,Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:

14siitumo 200 mbaa bhembe bhawine, 20 mbaa bhembe umane, 200 dumba bhawine, tee 20 mbaa dumba umane,200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,

1530 mbaa unta bhawine tee manga anana tangasaana apadudua, 40 mbaa sapi bhawine, 10 mbaa sapi umane, 20 mbaa keledai bhawine tee 10 mbaa keledai umane.30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.

16Apasarakaakamea bhari-bharia sumai i manga bhatuana, sumaimo manga incia ajagani gulumana kadhambaakana sumbe-sumbere. Kasiimpo apogaumo Yakub i manga incia, "Lingkamo porikanaakaaku maka bholi bhari-bharia apobhawa-bhawa. Dhawua polotaa i tanga-tangana manga gulumana kadhambaaka sumai tee mosagaanana."He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”

17I bhatua molingkana poriaroa incia asameamo, "Ande Esau, akaku, apokawaakako, tee aabha, 'Bhatuana incema ingkoo sii? Iapai bheulingka? Pewauana incema manga kadhambaaka i aroamu sii?,'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?’

18lawanimo mboo sii, 'Pewauana bhatuamu, Yakub, siimo idhawuakana ilambokona to opuku Esau. Satotuuna, incia samia dhaangia i talikumami.' "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.’”

19Mboo sumai uka kasameana i bhatuana katutunina mobhaa-bhaana tee moporitalikuna, tee i bhari-bharia mia molingkana moosena gulumana kadhambaaka sumai. Pogauna, "Mboo sumaimo tabeana ingkoo upogauakea i Esau ande upokawa tee incia.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.

20Pogauakea uka, 'Satotuuna, bhatuamu Yakub dhaangia i talikumami.' " Roonamo Yakub afikiri, "Iaku gauku apekarunaia incana tee harataa idhawuakaku ibhawana porikana sii, sapadhana sumai, kasiimpomo bhekukamata rouna. Aipomo incia aunda atarimaaku."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.”

21Jadi, kadhawu sumai alambokoakea porikana sainamo incia samia apomalo i pokemaana i malo incia sumai.So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.

22I malo incia sumai uka Yakub abhangu. Abhawamea rua miaia bhawinena, rua miaia maruena bhatuana bhawine tee sapulu samiaia anana apolimba alaloi tampa polimbaa Umala Yabok.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.

23Sapadhana incia abhawea manga i sawetana, apapolimbamea uka manga harataa pewauana.He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.

24Sapadhana manga incia apolimba, soomo Yakub modhaangiana samia-miana, kasiimpo samia umane apobhante tee incia sampe abhete matanaeo.So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25Wakutuuna umane sumai akamata ande incia inda amembali atalo Yakub, abhebhemo losuana paana Yakub. Saanampuu losuana paana Yakub sumai atosala rampaakanamo apobhante tee umane i saao.When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.

26Kasiimpomo apogau umane sumai, "Taroakaakumo kulingka, roonamo matanaeo bheabhetemo." Maka Yakub alawanimo, "Iaku inda bhekutaroakako ulingka, ande indapo ubarakatiaku."Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

27Aabhamo umane sumai i incia, "Incema buaka saromu?" Alawanimo, "Yakub."“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.

28Pogauna umane incia sumai, "Saromu inda bheasarongiakea Yakub, tabeana Israel, roonamo ingkoo padhamo upobhante tee Aulataʼala tee maanusia, tee ingkoo ukohasili."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.”

29Kasiimpomo aemanimo Yakub, "Paumbaakaakupo saromu." Lawanina, "Pokia uabhaaka saroku?" Kasiimpomo abarakatimea Yakub iwe sumai.And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.

30Yakub asarongiakea tampa incia sumai Peniel, roonamo pogauna, "Iaku padhamo kupotonto rou tee Aulataʼala, maka inyawaku asalaamati!"So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

31Matana eo abhetemo wakutuuna alaloi Peniel, tee incia amakempa roonamo losuana paana sumai atosala.The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.

32Sababuna sumai, sampemo eo sii miana Israel inda akande uwana losuana paana binata, roonamo i weta iwe sumaimo umane sumai padhamo abhebhe Yakub.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.
