8 E de ngɛ e yi mi ke, “Ke Esau ba tua kuu kake ɔ, kuu enyɔne ɔ maa tu fo kɛ je.”

9 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yakob fa kue ha Mawu ke, “Mawu lee! Nɛnɛ Abraham Mawu, kɛ tsaatsɛ Isak Mawu! Yawɛ, mo lɛ o de mi ke ma kpale ye se kɛ ba ye zugba nɔ, ngɛ ye weku li a ngɔ, nɛ o maa pee mi saminya.

17 E de tsɔlɔ ɔ nɛ sɛ hlami ɔ ke, “Ke o kɛ ye nyɛmi Esau kpe, nɛ e bi mo ke, ‘Mɛnɔ ji o nyɔmtsɛ? Jije o yaa? Lohwe nɛ ɔmɛ nɛ nyɛɛ o hɛ mi ɔ, mɛnɔ lohwehi?’ ɔ,

18 de lɛ ke, ‘Lohwehi nɛ o tsɔlɔ Yakob tsɔ nɛ a kɛ ba ke mo, e nyɔmtsɛ Esau ji nɛ ɔmɛ nɛ. Yakob nitsɛ ngɛ se kɛ ma.’ ”

19 Yakob de tsɔlɔ enyɔne ɔ, etɛne ɔ, kɛ tsɔli ɔmɛ tsuo nɛ ngɛ lohwe ɔmɛ a nya a hu ke, “Ke nyɛɛ kɛ Esau kpe ɔ, bɔ nɛ nyɛ ma de lɛ ji nɛ ɔ nɛ.

20 Nyɛ hɛ nɛ hi nɔ nɛ nyɛ de lɛ ke, ‘O tsɔlɔ Yakob ngɛ wa se kɛ ma’ ” Yakob de ngɛ e yi mi ke, “I kɛ nike ní nɛ sɛ hlami ɔ ma kpata lɛ. Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, ke i kɛ lɛ kpe hɛ mi kɛ hɛ mi ɔ, eko ɔ, e kɛ ye tɔmi maa ke mi.”

21 Yakob kɛ nike ní ɔ mane, se lɛ nitsɛ lɛɛ e hwɔ sito he ɔ jamɛ a nyɔ ɔ mi.

Yakob kɛ nɔ ko fia atlibo ngɛ Peniel

22 Jamɛ a nyɔ ɔ mi nɔuu ɔ, Yakob te si, nɛ e kɛ e yihi enyɔ ɔmɛ, kɛ e mawayi enyɔ ɔmɛ, kɛ a bimɛ nyɔngma kɛ kake ɔmɛ po Yabok pa a.

23 Benɛ e kɛ mɛ po pa a ta a, e ngɔ e níhi tsuo hu kɛ po pa a,

24 ⓝ nɛ e ba piɛ lɛ Yakob ɔ nɔ kake ngmelu ngɛ se. Kɛkɛ nɛ nyumu ko kɛ lɛ ba fia atlibo kɛ ya si makɛ.

25 Benɛ nyumu ɔ na kaa e nyɛ we Yakob ɔ, e fia Yakob mlɛ mi nɔ́, nɛ Yakob gbongu huã.

26 Nyumu ɔ de Yakob ke, “Ngmɛɛ ye he nɛ ma ho; je ngɛ mi nae!” Yakob he nɔ ke, “I be hae nɛ o ya, ja o gbaa mi lolo!”

27 Nyumu ɔ bi lɛ ke, “Kɛ a tsɛɛ mo kɛɛ?” Yakob he nɔ ke, “Ye biɛ ji Yakob.”

28 ⓞ Nyumu ɔ de lɛ ke, “A be o biɛ tsɛe ke Yakob hu. O kɛ Mawu kɛ nimlihi nɔ kunɔ, nɛ o ye kunimi; lɔ ɔ he ɔ, jehanɛ a ma tsɛ mo ke Israel.”[43]

29 ⓟ Yakob de nyumu ɔ ke, “Jehanɛ lɛɛ moo tsɔɔ mi o biɛ.” Se nyumu ɔ bi lɛ ke, “Mɛni he je o ngɛ hlae nɛ o le ye biɛ ɔ? Kɛkɛ nɛ e gbaa Yakob.”

30 Yakob wo lejɛ ɔ biɛ ke Peniel,[44] nɛ e de ke, “I wo kikɛmɛ a biɛ nɛ ɔ, ejakaa i na Mawu hɛ mi kɛ hɛ mi, se i gbo we.”

31 Benɛ Yakob je Peniel ɔ, pu gba; nɛ e gbongu ɔ nɛ huã he je ɔ, e nyɛ we nɛ e nyɛɛ tutuutu.

32 Kɛ ba si mwɔnɛ nɛ ɔ, Israel bi yi lo nɛ ngɛ mlɛ mi tsami he ɔ, ejakaa Yakob mlɛ mi tsami he ɔ ji he nɛ nyumu ɔ fia nɔ́ ɔ nɛ.
