¹Huan, Jakob bel a pai jela, huan, Pathian angelten a na dawn uh.

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

²Huan, Jakobin amau a muhin, hiaite Pathian pawlte ahi uh, achia: huchiin huai mun minin Mahanaim a chi hi.

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

³Huan, Jakob in, Seir gam a, Edom pawn lamah, a u Esau kiangah a maah thangkoute a paisaka.

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

⁴A kianguah, ka toupa Esau a kiangah hichiin na gen ding uh, na sikha Jakobin hichiin a chi hi: Laban kiangah mikhual ka hia, tu tanin ka om nilouha:

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:

⁵Bawngtalte, sabengtung leh belamte, sikhapa leh sikhanute khawng ka neia; hichiin na hehpihna ka muh theihna dingin ka toupa hilh dingin mi ka honsawl ahi, a chi a, chiin, amau thu a pia hi.

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.

⁶Huan, thangkoute Jakob kiangah a hong kik nawn ua, Na u Esau kiang ka va tung ua, huan, mi za li honpiin hongdawn dingin a hongpai hi, chiin, a gen ua.

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.

⁷Huchiin, Jakobin a lau mahmah a, a lungkhamta a: huchiin a kianga mi omte, belam honte, bawng honte, sangawngsaute pawl nihin a khen a;

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;

⁸Esau pawl khat a hongpaia, a thah leh, pawl khat om lai a tai mang thei ding, a

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

⁹Huan, Jakob mahin, aw Toupa, na gam lamah leh na tanute kiangah pai nawnta in, huchiin ka honhih hoih ding, honchipa:

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:

¹⁰Na sikha tunga hehpihna tengteng na muhsak leh thutak tengteng na muhsak laka, a neupen leng mu tuak ka hi kei hi; hiai Jordan lui ka chiang kia toh ka kana; tuin jaw pawl nih hial ka honghita hi.

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.

¹¹Hehpihtakin ka u khut akipan, Esau khut akipan, hon humbit in; numei naupang takna honthah lah ka lau ngala.

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.

¹²Nang, ka hon hihhoih ngeingei dinga, na suante tuipi a piaunel sim zohlouh tan hiala tam bangin ka bawl ding na chi a, a chi a.

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.

¹³Huan, huai jan in huailaiah a giakta a; huan, a neih laka kipan a u Esau adingin kipahman a lakhia;

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

¹⁴Kelpi zanih, keltal sawmnih, belampi zanih leh belampa sawmnih,

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

¹⁵Sangawngsau zatlai sawmthum a noute utoh, bawngpi sawmli leh bawngtal sawm, sabengtungpi sawm nih leh sabengtung nou sawm.

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

¹⁶Huan, huaite pawl chih a tuam chiatin a sikhate khut ah a kemsaka; huan, a sikhate kiangah, ka maah pai galkah unla, pawl chih kal nei sak jel un, a chi a.

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.

¹⁷Huan, a makai pa kiangah, ka u Esauin hontuaha, na kianga, kua na hia? kaw hoh dek na hia? na maa omte kuaa ahi ua? chia a hondot leh,

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?

¹⁸Na sikha Jakob a ahi uh; ka pu Esau, nanga dia kipahman dinga honkhak ahi: ngaiin, amah hua ka nung uah a om, chiin, thu a pia hi.

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.

¹⁹Huan, a zom leh a zom nawn leh, gan hon hawlte tengteng kiangah leng, Esau na muh hun chiang un huchibang mahin na gen ding uh ahi.

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.

²⁰Huan, ngaiin, na sikha hua ka nung uah a om, chi chiat un, chiin thu a pe chiat hi. Kipahman ka maah pai leh a lung ka damsak ding a, huai nungin a mel ka mu ding; huchiin, a honna kipahpih kha ding, a chi ahi.

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.

²¹Huchiin, kipahman a maah a pai galkah saka; amah bel, huai janin a pawlte lakah a giak hi.

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

²²Huan, janin a thoua, a ji nih leh, a sikhanu nihte leh a ta sawm leh khat te a pi a, Jabbok lui ngahna ah a pita.

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.

²³Huchiin, a mau a pi a, lui a kan ua, a neih tengteng leng a kansak vek hi.

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

²⁴Huan, Jakob amah kia in a omta; huan, mi khat toh phalvak tan a kibuan buan

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

²⁵Huan, a zou kei chih a kitheihin a pheipi guhtuah a khoihsak a, huchiin a kibuan lai un Jakob pheipi guhtuah a kilawita hi.

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.

²⁶Huan, aman, hon khah in, phalvak ding a hita, a chi a. Huan, aman, na hon vualjawl keileh ka hon khah kei ding, achia.

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

²⁷Huan, aman, a kiangah, na min bang ahia? Achia. Huan, aman, Jakob a chi a

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

²⁸Huan, aman, na min Jakob ahi nawn kei ding, Israel a honchi zota ding uh; Pathian leh mihing te na suala, na zouta ngala, achia.

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.

²⁹Huan, Jakobin, amah a dawnga, hehpihtakin na min honhilh in, a chi a. Huan, aman, bangjiakin ahia ka min non dot? Achia. Huan, huailaiah a vualjawlta.

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.

³⁰Huan, Jakobin huailai mun ding in Peniel a chi a: Pathian a ma chin mahmah ah ka mu a, ka hinna hon hawisak jiakin a chi a.

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

³¹Huan, Peniel a khen laiin a ni a hongsuak a, amah a hon suna, a pheipi jiakin a bai ta hi.Huaijiakin tutanin Israel suanten pheipi guhtuah a sadual om a ne ngei kei uh: Jakob pheipi guhtuah a sadual lai tak a khoih jiakin.

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

³²Huaijiakin tutanin Israel suanten pheipi guhtuah a sadual om a ne ngei kei uh: Jakob pheipi guhtuah a sadual lai tak a khoih jiakin.

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.
