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

¹¶ Na haere ana a Hakopa i tona huarahi, a ka tutaki ki a ia nga anahera a te Atua.

²And when Jacob saw them he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

²A ka mea a Hakopa i tona kitenga i a ratou, Ko te ope tenei a te Atua: na huaina iho e ia te ingoa o tena wahi ko Mahanaima.

³And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir, the fields of Edom.

³¶ Na ka tono tangata atu a Hakopa ki mua i a ia ki a Ehau, ki tona tuakana, ki te whenua o Heira, ki te whenua o Eroma.

⁴And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord, to Esau: Thy servant Jacob speaks thus -- With Laban have I sojourned and tarried until now;

⁴Ka ako hoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Kia penei he korero atu ma koutou ki toku ariki, ki a Ehau; E penei ana te kupu a tau pononga, a Hakopa, I a Rapana ahau e noho ana a tae mai ki tenei wa;

⁵and I have oxen, and asses, sheep, and bondmen, and bondwomen; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in thine eyes.

⁵He kau ano aku, he kaihe, he hipi, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine: a kua tono tangata nei ahau ki te korero ki toku ariki, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe.

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

⁶Na ka hoki mai nga karere ki a Hakopa, ka mea, I tae atu matou ki tou tuakana, ki a Ehau, a tenei ano ia te haere mai nei ki te whakatau i a koe, ratou tahi ko nga tangata e wha rau.

⁷Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops.

⁷Na he nui te wehi o Hakopa, ka manukanuka; na ka wehea e ia ona tangata, me nga hipi, me nga kau, me nga kamera, kia rua nga ropu;

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

⁸I mea hoki ia, Ki te tae mai a Ehau ki te ropu tuatahi, a ka patua e ia, na, ka mawhiti te ropu i mahue.

⁹And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah, who saidst unto me: Return into thy country and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,

⁹¶ Na ka mea a Hakopa, E te Atua o toku papa, o Aperahama, e te Atua o toku papa, o Ihaka, e Ihowa, nau nei te kupu ki ahau, Hoki atu ki tou whenua, ki ou whanaunga hoki, a ka pai taku mahi ki a koe:

¹⁰-- I am too small for all the loving-kindness and all the faithfulness that thou hast shewn unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two troops.

¹⁰He iti rawa ahau, he nui au arohatanga katoa, me te pono katoa hoki i whakaputaina mai e koe ki tau pononga; i whiti mai hoki ahau me toku tokotoko i tenei Horano; a ka rua nei oku ropu.

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

¹¹Tena ra, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o toku tuakana, i te ringa o Ehau; e wehi ana hoki ahau i a ia, kei haere mai ia ki te patu i ahau, i te whaea ratou tahi ko nga tamariki.

¹²And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹²I mea mai nei hoki koe, Ina, ka pai taku mahi ki a koe, a ka meinga e ahau ou uri kia rite ki te onepu o te moana, e kore nei e taea te tatau i te tini.

¹³And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother --

¹³¶ A i moe ia ki reira i taua po; a i tangohia e ia i roto i nga mea i pono ki tona ringa he hakari ma Ehau, ma tona tuakana;

¹⁴two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats; two hundred ewes, and twenty rams;

¹⁴E rua rau nga koati hua, e rua tekau hoki nga koati toa, e rua rau nga hipi uha, e rua tekau nga hipi toa,

¹⁵thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twenty she-asses, and ten young asses.

¹⁵E toru tekau nga kamera whai waiu, me a ratou kuao, e wha tekau nga kau, kotahi tekau hoki nga puru, e rua tekau nga kaihe uha, me nga kuao hoki kotahi tekau.

¹⁶And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.

¹⁶A ka hoatu e ia ki nga ringa o ana pononga tenei kahui, tenei kahui, motumotu rawa; ka mea ia ki ana pononga, Haere i mua i ahau, kia whai takiwa tetahi kahui, tetahi kahui.

¹⁷And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?

¹⁷I ako ano ia i te tuatahi, i mea, E tutaki a Ehau, toku tuakana, i a koe, e mea, Na wai koe? a e haere ana koe ki hea? a na wai enei mea i tou aroaro?

¹⁸-- then thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.

¹⁸Na ka mea atu koe, Na tau pononga, na Hakopa; i homai e ia hei hakari ma toku ariki, ma Ehau; a tenei ano hoki ia kei muri i a matou.

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

¹⁹He pera ano tana ako ki te tuarua, ki te tuatoru hoki, ki nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere i muri i nga kahui, i mea ia, Ko te tikanga tenei mo nga kupu e korero ai koutou ki a Ehau, ina tutaki ki a ia;

²⁰And, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.

²⁰A me ki atu e koutou, Na, tenei ano hoki tau pononga, a Hakopa, kei muri i a matou. I mea hoki ia, Me whakamarie ia e ahau ki te hakari e haere ana i mua i ahau, a, muri iho ka kite ahau i tona kanohi; tera pea ia e manako ki ahau.

²¹And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

²¹Na ka haere atu te hakari i mua i a ia: a ko ia i moe i taua po i te puni.

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

²²A i whakatika ia i taua po, i tango hoki i ana wahine tokorua, me ana wahine pononga tokorua, me ana tamariki tekau ma tahi, a ka whiti i te whitinga i Iapoko.

²³and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.

²³A i tango ia i a ratou, i mea hoki kia whiti i te awa, a i tukuna atu e ia kia whiti nga mea i a ia.

²⁴And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.

²⁴¶ A i mahue iho a Hakopa ko ia anake; a nonoke ana raua ko tetahi tangata, a takiri noa te ata.

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

²⁵A, no te kitenga o tera kihai ia i taea e ia, ka pa ia ki te ateatenga o tona huha; a ka takoki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa i a raua e nonoke ana.

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

²⁶Na ka mea ia, Tukua ahau, kua takiri hoki te ata. A ka mea ia, E kore koe e tukua e ahau, kia manaakitia ra ano ahau e koe.

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

²⁷A ka mea ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? A ka mea ia, Ko Hakopa.

²⁸And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁸A ka mea ia, Heoi ano kianga ko Hakopa tou ingoa, engari ko Iharaira: no te mea kua tohe koe ki te Atua, ki te tangata hoki, a i a koe ano te mutunga.

²⁹And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.

²⁹Na ka ui a Hakopa, ka mea, Tena koa, korerotia mai tou ingoa. Ano ra ko ia, He aha toku ingoa i uia ai e koe? a ka manaaki ia i a ia i reira.

³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.

³⁰Na huaina ana e Hakopa te ingoa o taua wahi ko Peniere: i mea hoki ia, Moku i titiro ki te Atua, he kanohi, he kanohi, a kei te ora nei ahau.

³¹And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.

³¹A i tara mai te ra ki a ia i a ia ka whiti i Penuere, kei te toitoti ano tona huha.

³²Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh -- the sinew.

³²Koia nga tama a Iharaira te kai ai i te uaua i memenge, ara i tera i te ateatenga o te huha, a tae noa ki tenei ra: no te mea hoki i pa ia ki te ateatenga o te huha o Hakopa, ki te uaua i memenge.
