32:29 Note: KJB: Gen.32.28
OET (OET-RV) “You won’t be called Ya’akov anymore,” the man said, “but you’ll be ‘Yisrael’ (Israel) (which means ‘he struggled with God’), because you have struggled with God and with men, and you won.”

The wording here is similar to what God said when he changed Abram’s name to Abraham (Genesis 17:5) and Sarai’s name to Sarah (17:15). After that, Abraham and Sarah were no longer called by their previous names. In the case of Jacob, he continues to be referred to by both of his names in this chapter (Jacob in verses 29–30, 32; Israel in verse 32) and throughout the rest of the Bible, including by God (Genesis 46:2). It could be that although God was changing Jacob’s primary name to “Israel,” he was still known by his previous name too. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: [You will no longer be named Jacob]

If you include the meaning of the name Israel in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it fits with how you translate struggled in the following clause.
כִּֽי־שָׂרִ֧יתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִ֛ים וְעִם־אֲנָשִׁ֖ים

The Hebrew word for struggled here is more general than the word for “wrestled” in verses 24 and 25. Alternate translation: [because you have struggled against both God and men]

and,you_have_prevailed
See how you translated prevailed in verse 25 and Genesis 30:8. It may be necessary to translate this term in slightly different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: [and you have overcome]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
