¹And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

¹Ut laj Jacob qui-el saß li naßajej aßan ut quixtiquib cuißchic xic saß lix tenamit. Nak yô chi xic, quixcßuleb lix ángel li Kâcuaß Dios.

²And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

²Nak quirileb aßan, laj Jacob quixye: —Aßineb lix soldado li Kâcuaß Dios.— Ut quixqßue chokß xcßabaß li naßajej aßan Mahanaim.

³And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

³Laj Jacob quixtaklaheb lix takl chi ubej re nak teßxic saß li tenamit Seir li cuan xcuênt Edom, re nak teßxye re laj Esaú nak cuulac re laj Jacob.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:

⁴Laj Jacob quixye reheb lix takl: —Joßcaßin têye re laj Esaú: “Kâcuaß Esaú, châlc cuißchic re âcuiqßuin laj Jacob lâ cuîtzßin. Aßan xye nak tixqßue rib rubel âtakl. Chalen relic arin, riqßuin laj Labán cuan chak,” chaßkex re.

⁵And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

⁵Ut têye ajcuiß re nak nabaleb lin quetômk cuan; cuan incuacax, cuan inbûr. Ut cuan ajcuiß nabaleb inmôs, joß cuînk joß ixk. Joßcan nak xintakla xyebal chi joßcaßin. Usan cui tinixcßul saß xyâlal, chan laj Jacob. Ut eb lix takl laj Jacob queßcôeb riqßuin laj Esaú.

⁶And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

⁶Nak queßsukßi chak eb lix takl queßxye re laj Jacob: —Xocuulac riqßuin laj Esaú lâ cuas ut aßan yô chi châlc châcßulbal. Ut xeßchal ajcuiß câhib ciento li cuînk chirix, chanqueb.

⁷Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

⁷Nak laj Jacob quirabi li cßaßru queßxye, mâ caßchßin nak quixucuac ut cßajoß nak qui-oc xcßaßux. Quixjachiheb ru li cristian li cuanqueb rochben joß eb ajcuiß lix cuacax ut lix bûr, joß ajcuiß eb lix camello. Chi joßcan quicana chi cuib chßût li cßaßru re.

⁸And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

⁸Laj Jacob cuan saß xchßôl nak mâre laj Esaú tâchâlk chi pletic riqßuin. Cui laj Esaú tixtiquib pletic riqßuineb li jun chßût, li jun chßût chic târûk teßêlelik re teßxcol rib.

⁹And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

⁹Ut laj Jacob qui-oc chi tijoc ut quixye: —At inDios, lâat li Dios li quixlokßoni laj Abraham lin xeßtônil yucuaß. Ut lâat ajcuiß catxlokßoni chak laj Isaac, lin yucuaß. Lâat xatyehoc cue nak tinsukßîk cuißchic saß lin tenamit li cuanqueb cuiß lin comon. Xaye ajcuiß cue nak tâbânu li usilal cue.

¹⁰I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

¹⁰Lâin mâcuaß incßulub chixjunil li usilal xabânu cue. Mâcßaß cuan cue nak xinnumeß saß li nimaß Jordán. Caßaj cuiß lin xukß natelnac saß cuukß. Ut anakcuan nabal lin biomal cuan xban nak lâat xatqßuehoc re.

¹¹Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

¹¹Bânu usilal cue, chinâcol saß rukß laj Esaú li cuas. Lâin ninxucuac xban li cuas. Naru tinixcamsi ut naru tixcamsiheb li cuixakil joß eb ajcuiß lin cocßal.

¹²And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹²Lâat junxil caye chak cue nak tinâcuosobtesi ut caye ajcuiß nak teßcuânk nabal li cualal incßajol joß xqßuial ru li samaib li cuan chire li palau, li incßaß naru rajlanquil xban xqßuial, chan.

¹³And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;

¹³Laj Jacob quixnumsi li kßojyîn aran. Ut saß xyânkeb li cßaßru cuan re, quixsicß ru li mâtan li tixqßue re laj Esaú.

¹⁴Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

¹⁴Ut li mâtan li tixqßue re li ras, aßan aßin: cuib ciento li ixki chibât ut junmay têlom, ut cuib ciento li ixki carner ut junmay li têlom;

¹⁵Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

¹⁵lajêb xcâcßâl li camello rochben li ral; caßcßâl li bâc ut lajêb li toro; junmay li ixki bûr ut lajêb têlom.

¹⁶And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.

¹⁶Ut laj Jacob quixkßaxtesiheb li xul aßin saß rukßeb lix môs. Junjûnk chi môs quicßamoc reheb li jûnk chßûtal chi xul. Ut laj Jacob quixye ajcuiß reheb lix môs: —Lâex xbên cua texxic ut najt caßchßinak êyânk nak texxic, chan.

¹⁷And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?

¹⁷Ut quixye re lix môs, li tâxic chi ubej: —Nak tâcßul laj Esaú li cuas, aßan tixpatzß âcue, “¿Ani âpatrón ut bar xic âcue? ¿Ani aj e li quetômk li yôcat chixcßambal?” chaßak âcue.

¹⁸Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.

¹⁸Ut lâat tâye re, “At Kâcuaß Esaú, li quetômk aßin li yôquin chixcßambal, aßan lâ mâtan xtakla chak laj Jacob lâ môs. Aßan yô chak chi châlc chikix,” chaßkat re, chan laj Jacob re li môs li tâxic chi ubej.

¹⁹And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.

¹⁹Joßcan ajcuiß quixye re li xcab ut li rox li quixtakla ut chixjunileb li yôqueb chi cßamoc re li jûnk chßûtal chi xul. —Joßcan têye re laj Esaú nak têcßul, chan reheb.

²⁰And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.

²⁰Ut quixye ajcuiß reheb: “Laj Jacob lâ môs yô chak chi châlc chikix,” chaßkex re laj Esaú.— Laj Jacob quixbânu chi joßcaßin xban nak cuan saß xchßôl nak tâkßunâk xchßôl laj Esaú nak târileb lix mâtan. Ut quixcßoxla nak mâre tâcßulekß saß xyâlal xban laj Esaú.

²¹So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.

²¹Quixtaklaheb lix môs chixkßaxtesinquil lix mâtan laj Esaú ut laj Jacob toj quicana chixnumsinquil li kßojyîn aran.

²²And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.

²²Saß ajcuiß li kßojyîn aßan, laj Jacob quicuacli ut quixtaklaheb chi xcaßbichal li rixakil jun pacßal li nimaß Jaboc. Quixtaklaheb ajcuiß li cuib chi môs ixk joß ajcuiß li ralal junlaju.

²³And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

²³Ut laj Jacob quixnumsi ajcuiß jun pacßal li nimaß chixjunil li cßaßru re.

²⁴And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

²⁴Nak laj Jacob quicana xjunes, quicuulac riqßuin jun xtakl li Dios chanchan jun cuînk ut queßoc chixkßuchinquil ribeb rochben laj Jacob toj retal quisakêu.

²⁵And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

²⁵Li cuînk quiril nak cau rib laj Jacob ut incßaß quixcuy xmetzßêu. Quixtochß laj Jacob saß xcßulbal rib xbakel li raß. Ut quibokße xbakel li raß laj Jacob nak yô chixyalbal xmetzßêu.

²⁶And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

²⁶Ut li cuînk quixye re laj Jacob: —Chinâcuachßab xban nak yô chi sakêuc, chan re. Ut laj Jacob quixye re: —Cui incßaß tinâcuosobtesi, incßaß tatcuachßab, chan.

²⁷And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

²⁷Ut li cuînk quixpatzß re: —¿Ani âcßabaß lâat?— Laj Jacob quixye re, —Aj Jacob incßabaß.—

²⁸And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁸Ut li cuînk quixye: —Anakcuan mâcuaß chic aj Jacob âcßabaß. Aj Israel chic âcßabaß xban nak xayal âmetzßêu riqßuin li Dios joß ajcuiß riqßuineb li cuînk. Lâat cau âcuib, chan.

²⁹And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

²⁹Ut laj Jacob quixye re: —Bânu usilal ye cue ani âcßabaß lâat, chan. Ut lix takl li Dios quixye re laj Jacob: —¿Cßaßut nak tâcuaj tânau ani incßabaß? chan. Ut lix takl li Dios quirosobtesi laj Jacob saß li naßajej aßan.

³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

³⁰Laj Jacob quixqßue chokß xcßabaß li naßajej aßan Peniel. Quixqßue lix cßabaß aßin xban nak quixye: —Saß li naßajej aßin xcuil ru li Kâcuaß Dios ut toj yoßyôquin, chan.

³¹And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

³¹Xban nak quibokße xbakel li raß, nayêkan chic li rok laj Jacob nak qui-el saß li naßajej Peniel. Yô chak chi êlc li sakße nak qui-el aran.Chalen chak aßan, eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel incßaß nequeßxtiu li richß mul xbakel raß li xul xban nak quibokße xbakel li raß laj Jacob.

³²Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

³²Chalen chak aßan, eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel incßaß nequeßxtiu li richß mul xbakel raß li xul xban nak quibokße xbakel li raß laj Jacob.
