Genesise

32 Jakobe o ne a tswelela ka loeto lwa gagwe, mme baengele ba Modimo ba ne ba kopana le ene. 2 Fela fa Jakobe a ba bona, o ne a re: “Kampa eno ke ya masole a Modimo!” Ka jalo o ne a bitsa lefelo leo Mahanaime.*

3 Foo Jakobe o ne a romela barongwa kwa pele ga gagwe kwa go Esau morwarraagwe kwa lefatsheng la Seire,+ kgaolo* ya Edoma,+ 4 mme o ne a ba laela a re: “Seno ke se lo tla se bolelelang morena wa me Esau, ‘Jakobe motlhanka wa gago a re: “Ke agile* le Labane lobaka lo loleele go fitlha jaanong.+ 5 Ke na le dipoo, ditonki, dinku, batlhanka le malata+ mme ke romela molaetsa ono kwa go wena morena wa me, gore o tle o nkamogele.”’”

6 Fa nako e ntse e tsamaya, barongwa ba ne ba boela kwa go Jakobe, ba re: “Re kopane le Esau morwarrago, mme gone jaanong o mo tseleng o tla go go kgatlhantsha, mme o na le banna ba le 400.”+ 7 Mme Jakobe o ne a boifa thata a bo a tlhobaela.+ Ka jalo, o ne a kgaoganya batho ba ba neng ba na le ene, mmogo le matsomane, dikgomo le dikamela go nna mephato e mebedi. 8 O ne a re: “Fa Esau a ka tlhasela mophato o mongwe, mophato o mongwe o tla kgona go falola.”

9 Morago ga moo, Jakobe o ne a re: “Ao tlhe Modimo wa ga rre e bong Aborahame le Modimo wa ga rre e bong Isake, Ao tlhe Jehofa, wena yo o nthayang o re, ‘Boela kwa lefatsheng la gaeno le kwa go ba losika lwa gaeno mme ke tla dirisana sentle le wena,’+ 10 ga ke tshwanelwe ke lorato lo lo sa kgaotseng le bopelonomi tse o di bontshitseng nna motlhanka wa gago+ ka gonne ke ne ka kgabaganya Joredane eno ke tshotse thobane ya me fela mme jaanong ke fetogile mephato e mebedi.+ 11 Ke a go rapela, nkgolole+ mo seatleng sa ga morwarre e bong Esau, ka gonne ke boifa gore a ka nna a tla mme a ntlhasela+ mmogo le bana le bommaabone. 12 Mme wena o ne wa re: ‘Ruri ke tla dirisana sentle le wena mme ke tla dira gore losika lwa gago lo nne jaaka motlhaba* wa lewatle, o o ka se kang wa balwa ka gonne o le montsi.’”+

13 Mme o ne a lala foo bosigo joo. Go tswa foo, o ne a tsaya dithoto dingwe tsa gagwe go nna mpho e a tla e nayang Esau morwarraagwe:+ 14 dipodi tse dinamagadi di le 200, diphoko di le 20, dinku tse dinamagadi di le 200, diphelefu di le 20, 15 dikamela tse di anyisang di le 30, dikgomo di le 40, dipoo di le 10, ditonki tse dinamagadi di le 20 le ditonki tse ditonanyana tse di godileng di le 10.+

16 O ne a di naya batlhanka ba gagwe, metlhape ka go latelana, mme a ba raya a re: “Kgabaganyetsang kwa pele ga me, mme lo dire gore go nne le sekgala fa gare ga metlhape eno.” 17 Gape o ne a laela motlhanka wa ntlha a re: “Fa go ka direga gore Esau morwarre a kopane le wena a bo a go botsa, a re, ‘O motlhanka wa ga mang, o ya kae, mme diruiwa tseno ke tsa ga mang?’ 18 o mo reye o re, ‘Ke tsa ga Jakobe motlhanka wa gago. Ke mpho e e rometsweng kwa go morena wa me, kwa go Esau+ e bile le ene o etla kwa morago ga rona.’” 19 Mme o ne a laela motlhanka wa bobedi, wa boraro le botlhe ba ba setseng metlhape morago, a re: “Fa lo kopana le Esau lo mmolelele mafoko ano. 20 Mme gape lo mo reye lo re, ‘Motlhanka wa gago Jakobe o tla kwa morago ga rona.’ ” Gonne o ne a ipolelela a re: ‘Fa nka fokotsa bogale jwa gagwe ka go romela mpho kwa pele ga me,+ mme morago ga moo fa ke mmona, a ka nna a nkamogela ka bopelonomi.’ 21 Ka jalo, batlhanka ba gagwe ba ne ba tsamaela kwa pele ga gagwe ka dimpho, mme ene o ne a lala mo kampeng mo bosigong joo.

22 Moragonyana mo bosigong joo, o ne a tsoga a tsaya basadi ba gagwe ba babedi+ le malata a gagwe a mabedi+ le bomorwawe ba babotlana ba ba 11 mme a kgabaganya molapo wa Jaboke.+ 23 O ne a ba tsaya mme a ba thusa go kgabaganya molapo, morago ga moo a tlodisa dilo tse dingwe tsotlhe tse a neng a na le tsone.

24 La bofelo Jakobe o ne a sala a le nosi. Foo monna mongwe o ne a simolola go sokasokana le ene go fitlha ka masa.+ 25 E rile a bona gore ga a mo fenye, o ne a tshwara malokololo a nôka ya ga Jakobe; mme nôka ya gagwe ya tswa mo lefelong la yone fa a ntse a sokasokana le ene.+ 26 Morago ga moo, monna yono o ne a raya Jakobe a re: “Ntlogele ke tsamaye ka gonne bo sele.” Foo ene a re: “Nka se go tlogele o tsamaya go fitlha o ntshegofatsa.”+ 27 Ka jalo, o ne a mo raya a re: “Leina la gago ke mang?” mme ene a araba a re: “Jakobe.” 28 Foo o ne a re: “Leina la gago e ka se tlhole e nna Jakobe mme e tla nna Iseraele*+ ka gonne o lole le Modimo+ le batho mme kwa bofelong o ne wa fenya.” 29 Jakobe le ene o ne a mo raya a re: “Tsweetswee, mpolelela leina la gago.” Le fa go ntse jalo, monna yono o ne a re: “Ke ka ntlha yang fa o batla go itse leina la me?”+ Mme o ne a mo segofatsa teng foo. 30 Ka jalo, Jakobe o ne a bitsa lefelo leo Peniele*+ ka gonne o ne a re, “Ke bone Modimo re lebane difatlhego, le fa go ntse jalo botshelo* jwa me bo ne jwa bolokwa.”+

31 Fela fa a feta Penuele* letsatsi le ne la tlhaba, mme o ne a tlhotsa ka gonne a ne a gobetse mo nôkeng.+ 32 Ke gone ka moo go tla go fitlha mo letsatsing leno, bomorwa Iseraele ba sa jeng mosifa wa serope,* o o mo malokololong a nôka ka gonne monna yono o ne a tshwara malokololo a nôka ya ga Jakobe ka mosifa wa serope.
