1Tedae Jakob loh amah longpuei ah a caeh hatah anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek a doe uh.
1Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2Tedae Jakob loh amih te a hmuh vaengah, “Hekah he Pathen kah rhaehhmuen ni,” a ti tih tekah hmuen ming te Mahanaim a sui.
2When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3Te phoeiah Jakob loh Edom kho, Seir khohmuen la a maya Esau taengah a hmai la puencawn rhoek te a tueih.
3Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4Te vaengah amih te a uen tih, “Ka boei Esau taengah he he thui pah. Na sal Jakob tah Laban taengah ka bakuep tih tahae duela ka uelh.
4He 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.
5Te phoeiah kai taengah vaito neh laak boiva khaw, sal neh salnu khaw om. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen dang hamla ka boeipa taengah aka puen la kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
5I 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.’”
6Tedae puencawn rhoek te Jakob taengla mael uh tih, “Na maya Esau taengla ka cet uh coeng, te nang te doe ham a taengkah hlang ya li neh halo coeng,” a ti na uh.
6When 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.”
7Te vaengah Jakob loh bahoeng a rhih tih amah te a te daengdaeh uh. Te dongah a taengkah pilnam te khaw, boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, kalauk rhoek khaw rhoi nit la a tael.
7In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels.
8Te khaw Esau loh rhoi at te a paan tih a ngawn atah rhoi at aka om te khaw rhalyong la om saeh a ti dongah ni.
8He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape.”
9Te phoeiah Jakob loh, “Kai taengah namah khohmuen neh na pacaboeina taengla bal lamtah nang te kan hoeikhang sak ni,” aka ti a pa Abraham kah Pathen neh a pa Isaak kah BOEIPA Pathen,
9Then 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,’
10Sitlohnah cungkuem neh uepomnah cungkuem te na salpa taengah nan saii ham tah rhaidaeng. Ka cunghol neh Jordan he ka kat ngawn dae rhoi nit la ka lo coeng.
10I 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.
11Ka maya kut lamloh, Esau kut lamkah kai n'huul mai dae. Anih te ka rhih, halo vetih camoe rhoek neh a manu rhoek khaw, kamah khaw n'ngawn ve.
11Please 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.
12Tedae namah loh, 'Hoeikhang ham khaw nang te kan hoeikhang sak vetih nang kah tiingan te tuitunli kah laivin bangla ka khueh vetih tae thai mahpawh,’ na ti,” tila thangthui.
12But 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.’”
13Te dongah teah te khoyin puet rhaeh. A kut ah a khuen te khaw a maya Esau ham khosaa la,
13Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
14Maae a la yahnih neh maaetal pumkul, tumanu yahnih neh tutal pumkul.
14200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
15Kalauk cacun te a ca rhoek hmaihneh thumkip, vaito a la likip neh vaitotal pumrha, laak a la pumkul neh laaktal pumrha,” a paek.
1530 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
16Te phoeiah tuping, tuping te amah loh a sal rhoek kut ah a tloeng tih a sal rhoek te,” Kai hmai ah cet lamtah tuping laklo neh tuping laklo te hnalak khueh uh,” a ti nah.
16He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
17Te phoeiah lamhma taengah, “Ka maya Esau te na hum uh tih, 'Nang ulae? Melam na caeh eh? Na hmaikah rhoek he u kah lae a ti tih n'dawt vaengah,
17He 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'Na sal Jakob kah ni. Hekah he ka boeipa Esau taengah khosaa la ham pat tih amah khaw kaimih hnukkah halo ke,’ ti nah,” a ti tih a uen.
18then 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.’”
19Te phoeiah a pabae te khaw, a pathum te khaw, tuping hnukah aka cet boeih te khaw, “Nangmih khaw Esau neh na hum uh vaengah hekah olka he thikat la thui uh lamtah,
19He 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.
20nang kah sal Jakob khaw kaimih hnukah om ke,’ na ti uh ni,” a ti tih a uen. Ba dongah tikoinih ka mikhmuh kah aka pongpa khosaa neh a hmai ka saak pah vetih, te phoeiah tah a maelhmai ka hmuh vaengah kai maelhmai khaw a hlam khaming a ti.
20You 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.”
21Te dongah khosaa te a hmai la a caeh sak. Tedae amah tah rhaehhmuen ah hlaem at rhaeh pueng.
21So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22Tedae tekah khoyin ah thoo tih a yuu rhoi neh a salnu rhoi khaw, a ca rhoek hlai at te khaw a loh tih Jabbok lamkai ah a kat puei.
22During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23Amih te khaw a khuen tih a thak phoeiah amah taengah aka om rhoek te khaw soklong la a tueih.
23He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24Te vaengah Jakob te amah bueng la a cul coeng dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh khothaih tom due a hnueih.
24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25Tedae anih te ka na pawh tila a hmuh vaengah Jakob kah a hlit te a koi pah tih anih te a hnueih pangthuem Jakob kah a hlit te voeng nong.
25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
26Te vaengah, “Khothaih loh n'kae coeng tih kai n'hlah laeh,” a ti nah hatah Jakob loh, “Kai he yoethen nan paek hlan atah nang khaw kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
26Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27Te dongah amah la, “Nang ming te balae,” a ti nah hatah, “Jakob,” a ti nah dae,
27“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.
28“Na ming te Jakob ti voel boel lamtah Pathen neh hlang rhoek te na hnueih tih na na coeng dongah Israel ti laeh,” a ti nah.
28Then 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.”
29Te phoeiah Jakob loh a dawt tih, “Na ming te thui lah,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming he ba ham lae nan dawt,” a ti nah tih anih te yoethen pahoi a paek.
29And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
30Te dongah Jakob loh, “Pathen maelhmai te a hmai lamloh hmuh coeng dae ka hinglu huul uh,” a ti dongah tekah hmuen ming te Peniel a sui.
30So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31Tedae Penuel te a poeng vanneh a soah khomik thoeng. Anih khaw a hlit dongah cungdo phai.
31The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh a hlit dongkah tharhui thanal te tihnin due ca uh pawh. Jakob kah tharhui thanal ah aka om a hlit te a koi pah coeng.
32Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was struck near that tendon.
