| 1 | And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. | |
| 2 | And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. | Wa iššokal Yaqub əsalkadan as du angalosan. |
| 3 | And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. | As tan inay Yaqub, iṇṇa: «A wa aɣaywan ən Məššina!» Adi da fəlas iga adagg en eṣəm Maxanayim (almaɣna əššin ɣawnatan). |
| 4 | 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: | Izozar du Yaqub inəmmuzal s amaqqar-net Esaw daɣ ədɣaɣan ən Sehir, akal n Edom. |
| 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. | Oṃar tan, iṇṇ'asan: «Ad taṇṇim i məšš-i Esaw a wa: "Iṇṇ'ak əkli nnak Yaqub: nak əqqimaɣ in ɣur Laban har azalada! |
| 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. | Əggaznat du sər-i šitan, d əzdan, d aharay wa ənḍərran, d eklan əd taklaten. Əzzozaraɣ in inəmmuzal in ad ak əməlan məšš-i, fəl ad əgrəwa ətəwəqbal ɣur-ək."» |
| 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; | Əqqalan du nəmmuzal Yaqub, əṇṇan as: «Noṣ'in amaqqar nak Esaw, ənta iṃan-net issilkad ak du, iddəw d əkkozat təṃad n aləs.» |
| 8 | And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. | As isla Yaqub y a wa, təggaz-tu ṭasa wəllen, inkad, izun aytedan-net d aharay-nnet wa ənḍərran əd šitan əd ṃənas, ig-en ṣanatat tərəkfen. |
| 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: | Id orda as as ikənnas Esaw əd tərəkəft iyyat, tahadatad təg̣məd. |
| 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. | Təzzar iṭṭar Yaqub: «Məššina n abba-nin Ibrahim, Məššina n abba-nin Isxaq, Əməli, kay a di-iṇṇan: "Əqqəl akal-nak, ɣur marwan-nak fəl ad ak-aga alxer!" wa di-təgeɣ d iḍuf n arkawal wa di təṣṣəkna, nak ann əkli-nnak ogaran-i. Id fəl |
| 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. | |
| 12 | 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. | «Oṇsayaq-qay ad-i tag̣əza daɣ amaqqar-in Esaw fəlas əksudaɣ ad-i-iṣrəy ihlək-i nak əd bararan əd təḍoden. |
| 13 | And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; | «Id kay iṃan-nak ad-i-iṇṇan: "A dak-aga alxer wəllen, əssəgeɣ əzzurriya-nnak šilat ən təblalen n aṃadal ən ṭama n agarew wər nəla aṃadin".» |
| 14 | Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, | Iga ṭanat n ad-aṇsu den da ahad wədi. Isaṇṇafran daɣ təla-nnet a iga ṣusay y amaqqar-net Esaw. |
| 15 | Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. | Sanatat təṃad ən taɣat əd ṣanatat təṃərwen n əzolaɣ, ṣanatat təṃad ən tilay əd ṣanatat təṃərwen n akar, |
| 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. | karadat təṃərwen ən talamt əd waran-nasnat, əkkozat təṃərwen ən ṭəst əd ṃaraw zəgran, ṣanatat təṃərwen ən tajat əd ṃaraw bangitan. |
| 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? | Izammazay isəgan isoḍaf-tan y eklan-net, iṇṇ-asan: «Izarat-i, tagim taffawt gar-ewwan.» |
| 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. | Dəffər a wen oṃar akli-nnet wa izzərgazan əsəgən wa zzaran: «As təṃənaya d amaqqarr-in Esaw iṣəstan kay: "Ma kay ilan? Mənis tədaga? Ma ilan eharay wa təzzərgaza?" |
| 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. | Taṇṇaɣ-as: "In məšši akli-nnak Yaqub. Isəgan a ṣusay a əṃosan i məšši Esaw. Yaqub iṃan-net ilkam-ana-du.» |
| 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. | Iga alamar wen da y eklan-net kul win əzzərgaznen isəgan win ṣusay. |
| 21 | So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. | «Taṇṇim-as tolas: "Akli-nnak Yaqub izay-du"» Id orda-as ad issəṣmad əs ṣusay wa din azzaran.Az-z-aṃṃanayan da mijas igraw ɣur-əs Yaqub ətəwəqbal.» |
| 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. | Issəgla Yaqub isəgan win iga ṣusay y amaqqar-net ad as in izaran.Ənta iṇsa ahad wen daɣ aɣaywan. Iṇkar ahad wədi da itkal šiḍoden-net an ṣanatat, əd təwahayen-net ṣanatat əd bararan-net ṃaraw d iyyan, issəɣras tan angi wan Yaboq. D |
| 23 | And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. | |
| 24 | And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. | |
| 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. | Iqqim-du ɣas-net, har t-id oṣa aləs iyyan Ibbəllan dər əs har affaw. |
| 26 | And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. | As inay aləs wa as wər ifreg əsənbəg ən Yaqub iḍas-tu daɣ təməllay ən taɣma, tərrəffat tətoɣast-net igla Yaqub iṭṭaf tu. |
| 27 | And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. | Iṇṇ-as aləs: «Šalw-i ad agla ezal iga!» Mišan iṇṇ-as Yaqub: «Wər kay z-ayya wər fall-i təgeɣ albaraka.» |
| 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. | Iṇṇ-as aləs: «Ma eṣəm-nak?» Ijjəwwab-as: «Yaqub.» |
| 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. | Aṃaran iṇṇ-as aləs: «Dəffər azala, aba as təgəɣ eṣəm Yaqub id təbbillana əd Məššina, əd meddan, təssənbaga. A di da fəlas əmərədda ad tagaɣ eṣəm Israyel (almaɣna ibbəllan əd Məššina) |
| 30 | And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. | Dəffər a wen iṣṣəstan-tu Yaqub: «Oṇsayaq-qay ad-i təməlaɣ eṣəm-nak» Miššan iṇṇ-as: «Ma fel təṣastana d eṣəm-in?» Iga fall-as albaraka. |
| 31 | And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. | Iga Yaqub y adagg-en eṣəm Fənyel (almaɣna udəm ən Məššina), id iṇṇa: «Əṇaya Məššina udəm s udəm, əgleɣ, əddara!» |
| 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. | As ig̣mad Yaqub Fənyel, əg̣əzzəy ən təfuk. Iṣigadal əs tətoɣast-net. |
| 33 | Əddəlil n a wen da as har azala Kəl Israyel wər təṭṭin azar wa n taɣma osaɣan isəmməɣras ən tətoɣast daɣ ṣan as ənɣan teɣsay, fəlas ənta a itawaḍasan daɣ Yaqub. |
