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

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

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

And 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:
|
ወፈነወ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ሐዋርያ ፡ ኀበ ፡ ዔሳው ፡ እኁሁ ፡ ብሔረ ፡ ሴይር ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምድረ ፡ ኤዶም ።
|
5 |
And 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.
|

|
6 |
And 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.
|

|
7 |
Then 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;
|
ወገብኡ ፡ ኀቤሁ ፡ ለያዕቆብ ፡ እሙንቱ ፡ ሐዋርያት ፡ እለ ፡ ፈነወ ፡ ወይቤልዎ ፡ ሖርነ ፡ ኀበ ፡ ዔሳው ፡ እኁከ ፡ ወናሁ ፡ መጽአ ፡ ይትቀበልከ ፡ ወ፬፻ዕደው ፡ ምስሌሁ ።
|
8 |
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

|
9 |
And 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:
|
ወይቤ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ለእመ ፡ መጽአ ፡ ዔሳው ፡ ውስተ ፡ አሐቲ ፡ ትዕይንት ፡ ወቀተላ ፡ ትድኅን ፡ ካልእት ፡ ትዕይንት ።
|
10 |
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
|

|
11 |
Deliver 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.
|

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

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

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

|
16 |
And 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.
|

|
17 |
And 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?
|
ወወሀቦሙ ፡ ለደቁ ፡ መራዕየ ፡ እንተ ፡ ባሕቲቶሙ ፡ ወይቤሎሙ ፡ ሑሩ ፡ ቅድመ ፡ ወአስተራሕቁ ፡ መራዕየ ፡ እመራዕይ ።
|
18 |
Then 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.
|
ወይቤሎ ፡ ለዘ ፡ ቀዳሚ ፡ ለእመ ፡ ረከብኮ ፡ ለዔሳው ፡ እኁየ ፡ ወተስእለከ ፡ ወይቤለከ ፡ ዘመኑ ፡ ዝንቱ ፡ ወአይቴ ፡ ተሐውር ፡ ወዘመኑዝ ፡ ዘየሐውር ፡ ቅድሜከ ፤
|
19 |
And 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.
|

|
20 |
And 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.
|

|
21 |
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
|
በልዎ ፡ ናሁ ፡ ገብርከ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ይበጽሕ ፡ ድኅሬነ ፤ እስመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ እድኅን ፡ እምነ ፡ ገጹ ፡ በዝንቱ ፡ አምኃ ፡ ዘይወስዱ ፡ ቅድሜሁ ፡ ወእምዝ ፡ እሬኢ ፡ ገጾ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይትቄበሎ ፡ ለገጽየ ፡ በዳኅን ።

22 |
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
|
ወእምዝ ፡ ፈነወ ፡ አምኃ ፡ ወውእቱሰ ፡ ቤተ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ትዕይንት ፡ በይእቲ ፡ ሌሊት ።
|
23 |
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
|
ወተንሥአ ፡ ወነሥኦን ፡ ለክልኤሆን ፡ አንስቲያሁ ፡ ወለክልኤ ፡ ዕቁባቲሁ ፡ ወዐሠርተ ፡ ወአሐደ ፡ ደቂቆ ፡ ወዐደወ ፡ ማዕዶተ ፡ [ያቦቅ ።]
|
24 |
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
|
ወነሥኦሙ ፡ ወዐደወ ፡ ውኂዘ ፡ ወአዕደወ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ንዋይሁ ።
|
25 |
And 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.
|
ወተርፈ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ባሕቲቱ ፡ ወተጋደሎ ፡ ብእሲ ፡ እስከ ፡ ጸብሐ ።
|
26 |
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
|
ወሶበ ፡ ርእየ ፡ ከመ ፡ ኢይክሎ ፡ አኀዞ ፡ ሥርወ ፡ ሕሩም ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይትጋደሎ ፡ ምስሌሁ ።
|
27 |
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
|
ወይቤሎ ፡ ፈንወኒ ፡ እስመ ፡ ጎሐ ፡ ጽባሕ ፡ ወይቤሎ ፡ ኢይፌንወከ ፡ ለእመ ፡ ኢባረከኒ ።
|
28 |
And 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.
|
ወይቤሎ ፡ መኑ ፡ ስምከ ፡ ወይቤሎ ፡ ያዕቆብ ።
|
29 |
And 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.
|
ወይቤሎ ፡ ኢይኩን ፡ እንከ ፡ ስምከ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ዳእሙ ፡ ይኩን ፡ ስምከ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ እስመ ፡ ክህልከ ፡ ምስለ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ወምስለ ፡ እጓለ ፡ እመሕያው ።
|
30 |
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
|
ወይቤሎ ፡ አይድዐኒ ፡ ስመከ ፡ ወይቤሎ ፡ ለምንት ፡ ለከ ፡ ትሴአል ፡ ስምየ ፡ ወባረኮ ፡ በህየ ።
|
31 |
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
|
ወሰመዮ ፡ ስሞ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ ለውእቱ ፡ ብሔር ፡ ራእየ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ እስመ ፡ ርኢክዎ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ገጸ ፡ በገጽ ፡ ወድኅነት ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ (ወገጽየ ። )
|
32 |
Therefore 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.
|
ወሠረቀ ፡ ፀሓይ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ኀደጎ ፡ ራእየ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ወሎቱሰ ፡ ያስዖዝዞ ፡ ክመ ፡ እግሩ ።
