Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1HELE aku la o Iakoba i kona hele ana, a halawai mai la na anela o ke Akua me ia.
1Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
2A ike aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, i aku la ia, O ka puali kaua keia o ke Akua: a kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o I Mahanaima.
2And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
3Hoouna aku la o Iakoba i na elele imua ona io Esau la i kona kaikuaana, ma ka aina o Seira, oia ka aina o Edoma.
3And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to the country of Edom:
4Kauoha aku la ia ia lakou, i aku la, Penei ka oukou e olelo aku ai i kuu haku, ia Esau; Ke i mai nei o kau kauwa o Iakoba penei, Ua noho pu au me Labana, ua kali aku no wau ilaila a hiki i neia manawa.
4And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day.
5Ia'u no na bipi, na hoki, na holoholona, me na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine; a ua hoouna aku no wau e hai aku i kuu haku, i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou maka.
5I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.
6Hoi hou mai la na elele io Iakoba la, i mai la, Hele aku la makou i kou kaikuaana io Esau la; a ke hele mai nei hoi oia e halawai me oe, a me ia na haneri kanaka eha.
6And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
7Alaila, makau nui iho la o Iakoba, a ua pilikia loa: mahele ae la oia i na kanaka me ia, i na holoholona, i na bipi a me na kamelo, elua poe;
7Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,
8I aku la, Ina e hele mai o Esau, a pepehi mai i kekahi poe, alaila e pakele ka poe i koe.
8Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall escape.
9I aku la o Iakoba, E ke Akua o kun kupunakane o Aberahama, ke Akua o kuu makuakane o Isaaka, e Iehova, ka mea nana i olelo mai ia'u, E hoi hou aku oe i kou aina, a i kou poe hoahanau, a e lokomaikai aku no au ia oe:
9And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who saidst to me: Return to thy land and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee,
10Aole au e pono no na lokomaikai a pau a me ka oiaio a pau au i hoike mai ai, i kau kauwa nei; no ka mea, me kuu kookoo iho i hele mai ai au ma keia kapa o loredane; a ua lilo no wau ano i elua poe.
10I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies.
11Ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoopakele ae ae ia'u mai ka lima aku o kuu kaikuaana, mai ka lima o Esau: no ka mea, ke makau nei au ia ia, o hele mai nei oia e pepehi mai ia'u me ka makuwahine a me na kamalii.
11Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him: lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children.
12Ua olelo mai oe, E lokomaikai io no wau ia oe, a e hoonui au i kau poe mamo e like me ke one o ke kai, aole e pau lakou i ka heluia no ka lehulehu.
12Thou didst say that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13Moe iho la ia malaila ia po; lalau aku la ia i na mea i loaa i kona lima, i makana na kona kaikuaana, na Esau,
13And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
14I elua haneri kao wahine, me na kao kane he iwakalua; elua haneri hipa wahine, me na hipa kane he iwakalua,
14Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15He kanakolu kamelo waiu, me ka lakou mau keiki; he kanaha bipi wahine, me na bipi kane he umi; he iwakalua hoki wahine a me na hokikeiki he umi.
15Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
16Haawi aku la oia ia mau mea i ka lima o kana poe kauwa, a kaawale kekahi poe me kahi poe; i aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, E hele e aku oukou mamua o'u, a e hookaawale i kahi poe me kahi poe.
16And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove.
17Kauoha aku la ia i ka mea i hele mamua, i aku la, A halawai mai ko'u kaikuaana o Esau me oe, a ninau mai ia oe, i ka i ana mai, Nowai oe? Mahea oe e hele nei? Nawai hoi keia poe mamua ou?
17And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee?
18Alaila, e olelo aku oe, Na kau kauwa, na Iakoba lakou nei, ua hoounaia mai, i makana na ko'u haku na Esau: eia ae hoi oia mahope o makou.
18Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob’s: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after us.
19Pela hoi oia i kauoha aku ai i ka lua a me ke kolu, a me ka poe a pau i hahai mahope o na pua holoholona, i ka i ana, Pela hoi oukou e olelo aku ai ia Esau, i ka wa e loaa'i ia oukou ia.
19In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him.
20E i aku hoi oukou, Eia ae kau kauwa o Iakoba mahope o makou. No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hoolaulea aku au ia ia i ka makana e hele la mamua o'u, a mahope iho e ike aku au i kona maka; a e maliu mai paha ia ia'u.
20And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.
21Pela i hele aku ai ka makana ma kela kapa imua ona: a moe pu iho la oia ia po me ka huakai.
21So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
22Ala ae la oia ia po, lalau aku la ia i kana mau wahine elua, me kana mau kauwawahine elua, a me kana mau keiki kane he umikumamakahi, a hele aku la ma kahi papau o Iaboka ma kela kapa.
22And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
23Lalau aku la ia ia lakou, hoouna aku la ia lakou ma kela kapa o ke kahawai, a hoouka aku la hoi i kana mau mea a pau.
23And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
24O Iakoba wale no i koe: a hakoko mai la kekahi kanaka me ia, a wehe ae la ke alaula o ke ao.
24He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
25A ike iho la kela, aole ia i lanakila maluna ona, papai mai la ia i ka hena o kona uha, a ua kapeke ae la ka huamoa o ko Iakoba uha, i kona hakoko ana me ia.
25And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
26I mai la kela, E kuu ae oe ia'u, no ka mea, ke wehe mai la ke alaula. I aku la oia, Aole au e kuu aku ia oe, a hoomaikai mai oe ia'u.
26And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
27Ninau mai la kela ia ia, Owai kou inoa? I aku la oia, O Iakoba.
27And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.
28I mai la kela, Aole e hea hou ia kou inoa, o Iakoba; aka, o Iseraela: no ka mea, he ikaika kou imua o ke Akua; a e lanakila hoi oe maluna o na kanaka.
28But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
29Ninau aku la o Iakoba, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou inoa. I mai la kela, Heaha kau i ninau mai ai i ko'u inoa? A hoomaikai mai la kela ia ia ilaila.
29Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.
30Kapa aku la o Iakoba i ka inoa o ia wahi o i Peniela: No ka mea, ua ike iho nei au i ke Akua, he maka no he maka, a ua malamaia kuu ola.
30And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
31Puka mai la ka la maluna ona i kona hele ana ae maluna o Penuela, kapeke ae la oia maluna o kona uha.
31And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
32No ia mea, aole e ai na mamo a Iseraela i ke olona i eeke, ka mea ma ka uha, a hiki i keia la: no ka mea, papai mai la kela i ka hena o ko Iakoba uha ma ke olona i eeke.
32Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob’s thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
