1Huan, Jakob bel a pai jela, huan, Pathian angelten a na dawn uh.
1Jacob 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.
2When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” 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.
3Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field 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:
4He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed 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.
5I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your 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.
6The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, 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 was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
8Esau pawl khat a hongpaia, a thah leh, pawl khat om lai a tai mang thei ding, a
8and he said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9Huan, Jakob mahin, aw Toupa, na gam lamah leh na tanute kiangah pai nawnta in, huchiin ka honhih hoih ding, honchipa:
9Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
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 loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11Hehpihtakin ka u khut akipan, Esau khut akipan, hon humbit in; numei naupang takna honthah lah ka lau ngala.
11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers 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.
12You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which can’t be numbered because there are so many.’”
13Huan, huai jan in huailaiah a giakta a; huan, a neih laka kipan a u Esau adingin kipahman a lakhia;
13He lodged there that night, and took from that which he had with him, a present for Esau, his brother:
14Kelpi zanih, keltal sawmnih, belampi zanih leh belampa sawmnih,
14two hundred female goats and twenty male 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 milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys 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.
16He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
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,
17He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
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 you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also 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.
19He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you 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.
20You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21Huchiin, kipahman a maah a pai galkah saka; amah bel, huai janin a pawlte lakah a giak hi.
21So the present passed over before him, and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
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.
22He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23Huchiin, a mau a pi a, lui a kan ua, a neih tengteng leng a kansak vek hi.
23He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24Huan, Jakob amah kia in a omta; huan, mi khat toh phalvak tan a kibuan buan
24Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there 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.
25When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled.
26Huan, aman, hon khah in, phalvak ding a hita, a chi a. Huan, aman, na hon vualjawl keileh ka hon khah kei ding, achia.
26The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go, unless you bless me.”
27Huan, aman, a kiangah, na min bang ahia? Achia. Huan, aman, Jakob a chi a
27He said to him, “What is your name?” 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.
28He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have 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.
29Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” 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.
30Jacob called the name of the place Peniel Peniel means “face of God.” : for, he said, “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.
31The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of 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 don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
