In context
25 Mtu yule alipoona kwamba hawezi kumshinda, akalipiga paja lake. Paja la Yakobo likatenguka alipokuwa akishindana naye.
26 Yule mtu akasema, “Niache niende, kwani kunakucha.” Yakobo akasema, sitakuacha uende mpaka uwe umenibariki.”
27 Yule mtu akamwuliza, “Jina lako ni nani?” Yakobo akasema, “Yakobo.” Yule mtu akasema,
28 “Jina lako halitakuwa Yakobo tena, ila Israeli. Kwa kuwa umeshindana na Mungu na wanadamu na umeshinda.”
29 Yakobo akamwambia, “Tafadhari niambie jina lako.” Akasema, “Kwa nini kuniuliza jina langu?” Kisha akambariki pale.
30 Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli kwani alisema, “Nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso, na maisha yangu yamesalimika.”
31 Jua likatoka wakati Yakobo anaipita Penieli. Alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya paja lake.
