1Tedae Jakob loh amah longpuei ah a caeh hatah anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek a doe uh.
1Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: 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.
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.
3Te phoeiah Jakob loh Edom kho, Seir khohmuen la a maya Esau taengah a hmai la puencawn rhoek te a tueih.
3And he sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir to 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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
8Saying: If Esau come to one company and destroy it, the other company that is left shall 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,
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,
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13Te dongah teah te khoyin puet rhaeh. A kut ah a khuen te khaw a maya Esau ham khosaa la,
13And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau.
14Maae a la yahnih neh maaetal pumkul, tumanu yahnih neh tutal pumkul.
14Two hundred she goats, twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty 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.
15Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she asses, and ten of their foals.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
18Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob’s: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau: and he cometh after 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,
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.
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.
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.
21Te dongah khosaa te a hmai la a caeh sak. Tedae amah tah rhaehhmuen ah hlaem at rhaeh pueng.
21So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that 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.
22And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.
23Amih te khaw a khuen tih a thak phoeiah amah taengah aka om rhoek te khaw soklong la a tueih.
23And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,
24Te vaengah Jakob te amah bueng la a cul coeng dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh khothaih tom due a hnueih.
24He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.
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.
25And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.
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.
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.
27Te dongah amah la, “Nang ming te balae,” a ti nah hatah, “Jakob,” a ti nah dae,
27And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
30And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.
31Tedae Penuel te a poeng vanneh a soah khomik thoeng. Anih khaw a hlit dongah cungdo phai.
31And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
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 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.
