25 Esebona ukuthi akamahluli, wathinta esikhoxeni senyonga yakhe, waphinyazeka uJakobe esikhoxeni senyonga esebambene naye.
26 Wayesethi: “Angihambe, ngokuba sekuyasa.”Kepha wathi: “Anginakukuyeka ukuba uhambe ungangibusisanga.”
27 Wathi kuye: “Ungubani igama lakho na?”Wathi: “NginguJakobe.”
28 Wathi: “Igama lakho alisayikuthiwa uJakobe, kepha u-Israyeli,* ngokuba ulwile noNkulunkulu nabantu, wanqoba.”
29 UJakobe wayesembuza ethi: “Ake ungitshele igama lakho.”Wathi: “Ubuzelani igama lami na?” Wayesembusisa khona.
30 UJakobe waqamba igama laleyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheniyeli,* ngokuba wathi: “Sibonene noNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso, nokho umphefumulo wami wophulwa.”
