Context
27Yule mtu akamuuliza, “Jina lako nani?”
Akajibu, “Yakobo.” 28Ndipo yule mtu akasema, “Jina lako halitakuwa tena Yakobo, bali Israeli,* kwa sababu umeshindana na Mungu na watu pia, nawe umeshinda.” 29Yakobo akasema, “Tafadhali niambie jina lako.”
Lakini akajibu, “Kwa nini kuniuliza Jina langu?” Ndipo akambariki huko. 30Kwa hiyo Yakobo akapaita mahali pale Penieli,* akasema, “Ni kwa sababu nimemwona Mungu uso kwa uso na bado maisha yangu yameokoka.” 31Jua lilikuwa linachomoza Yakobo alipoondoka Penueli, naye alikuwa akichechemea kwa sababu ya nyonga yake.
