Maori Bible
32 Na haere ana a Hakopa i tona huarahi, a ka tutaki ki a ia nga anahera a te Atua.
2 A 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.
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.
4 Ka 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;
5 He 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.
6 Na 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.
7 Na 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;
8 I 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.
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 He 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.
11 Tena 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.
12 I 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.
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;
14 E rua rau nga koati hua, e rua tekau hoki nga koati toa, e rua rau nga hipi uha, e rua tekau nga hipi toa,
15 E 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.
16 A 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.
17 I 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 Na 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.
19 He 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;
20 A 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.
21 Na ka haere atu te hakari i mua i a ia: a ko ia i moe i taua po i te puni.
22 A 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.
23 A 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.
24 A i mahue iho a Hakopa ko ia anake; a nonoke ana raua ko tetahi tangata, a takiri noa te ata.
25 A, 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.
26 Na 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.
27 A ka mea ia, Ko wai tou ingoa? A ka mea ia, Ko Hakopa.
28 A 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.
29 Na 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.
30 Na 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.
31 A i tara mai te ra ki a ia i a ia ka whiti i Penuere, kei te toitoti ano tona huha.
32 Koia 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.

Jacob Prepares to Meet Esau
32 [a]Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God(A) met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God!”(B) So he named that place Mahanaim.[b](C)
3 Jacob sent messengers(D) ahead of him to his brother Esau(E) in the land of Seir,(F) the country of Edom.(G) 4 He instructed them: “This is what you are to say to my lord(H) Esau: ‘Your servant(I) Jacob says, I have been staying with Laban(J) and have remained there till now. 5 I have cattle and donkeys, sheep and goats, male and female servants.(K) Now I am sending this message to my lord,(L) that I may find favor in your eyes.(M)’”
6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”(N)
7 In great fear(O) and distress(P) Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,[c](Q) and the flocks and herds and camels as well. 8 He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks one group,[d] the group[e] that is left may escape.”
9 Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham,(R) God of my father Isaac,(S) Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’(T) 10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness(U) you have shown your servant. I had only my staff(V) when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.(W) 11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid(X) he will come and attack me,(Y) and also the mothers with their children.(Z) 12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand(AA) of the sea, which cannot be counted.(AB)’”
13 He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift(AC) for his brother Esau: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,(AD) 15 thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.(AE) 16 He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.”(AF)
17 He instructed the one in the lead: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?’ 18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant(AG) Jacob. They are a gift(AH) sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’”
19 He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: “You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. 20 And be sure to say, ‘Your servant(AI) Jacob is coming behind us.’” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts(AJ) I am sending on ahead;(AK) later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”(AL) 21 So Jacob’s gifts(AM) went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
Jacob Wrestles With God
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons(AN) and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.(AO) 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.(AP) 24 So Jacob was left alone,(AQ) and a man(AR) wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip(AS) so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”(AT)
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,”(AU) he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name(AV) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[f](AW) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”(AX)
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”(AY)
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”(AZ) Then he blessed(BA) him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[g] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,(BB) and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[h](BC) and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip,(BD) because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
