Genesis 35
1 Miingon ang Dios kang Jacob, “Tindog, ug tungas ngadto sa Betel, ug pabilin didto. Pagbuhat didto ug usa ka altar alang sa Dios, nga nagpakita kanimo niadtong mikagiw ka gikan kang Esau nga imong igsoong lalaki.”
[Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
2 Unya miingon si Jacob sa iyang panimalay ug sa tanan nga kuyog kaniya, “Isalikway ang mga diosdios nga anaa kaninyo, ug hinloi ang inyong kaugalingon, ug ilisi ang inyong mga bisti.
So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
3 Unya mogikan kita ug motungas ngadto sa Betel. Magbuhat ako didto ug altar alang sa Dios, nga nagtubag kanako sa adlaw sa akong kagul-anan, ug nag-uban kanako bisan asa ako nag-adto.”
Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Busa gihatag nila ngadto kang Jacob ang tanang mga diosdios nga anaa kanila, ug ang mga ariyos nga anaa sa ilang mga dalunggan. Gilubong kini ni Jacob ilalom sa kahoy nga tugas duol sa Siquem.
So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
5 Sa ilang pagpanaw, gihimo sa Dios nga mangahadlok ang mga siyudad nga nagpalibot kanila, busa kadtong mga tawhana wala na migukod sa mga anak nga lalaki ni Jacob.
As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
6 Busa si Jacob miabot sa Luz (nga mao ang Betel), nga anaa sa yuta sa Canaan, siya ug ang tanang mga tawo nga uban kaniya.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
7 Nagbuhat siya didto ug usa ka altar ug gitawag ang maong dapit nga El Betel, tungod kay didto nagpakita ang Dios kaniya, sa panahon nga mikagiw siya gikan sa iyang igsoon nga lalaki.
There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
8 Si Debora, nga nag-atiman kang Rebeca, namatay. Gilubong siya didto sa ubos gikan sa Betel ilalom sa tugas nga kahoy, busa gitawag kini nga Allon Bacut.
Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
9 Sa dihang miabot na si Jacob gikan sa Padan Aram, nagpakita ang Dios kaniya pag-usab ug gipanalanginan siya.
After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
10 Miingon ang Dios kaniya, “Ang imong pangalan mao si Jacob, apan ang imong ngalan dili na Jacob. Israel na ang imong ngalan.” Busa gitawag na siya sa Dios ug Israel.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
11 Miingon ang Dios kaniya, “Ako ang makagagahom nga Dios. Pagmabungahon ug pagsanay. Ang nasod ug ang mga pundok sa kanasoran magagikan kanimo, ug ang mga hari magagikan sa imong mga kaliwatan.”
Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
12 Ang yuta nga akong gihatag kang Abraham ug Isaac, ihatag ko kanimo. Ngadto sa imong mga kaliwatan human kanimo igahatag ko usab ang yuta.”
The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
13 Mikayab ang Dios gikan kaniya sa dapit diin nakigsulti siya kaniya.
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
14 Nag-ugbok ug haligi si Jacob didtong dapita nga diin nakigsulti ang Dios kaniya, usa ka haligi nga bato. Gibuboan niya kini ug hinalad nga bino ug lana.
Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
15 Ginganlan ni Jacob og Betel ang maong dapit diin nakigsulti ang Dios kaniya.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 Mipanaw sila gikan sa Betel. Samtang duol na sila gikan sa Efrata, nagbati si Raquel. Naglisod siya sa pagpanganak.
Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
17 Samtang naglisod na gayod siya sa pagpanganak, miingon ang mananabang kaniya, “Ayaw kahadlok, kay karon makabaton ka na usab ug laing anak nga lalaki.”
When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
18 Sa dihang himalatyon na siya, ug sa kataposan niyang gininhawa ginganlan niya ang bata og Benoni, apan ginganlan siya sa iyang amahan og Benjamin.
But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
19 Namatay si Raquel ug gilubong sa dalan padulong sa Efrata (gitawag nga Betlehem).
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
20 Nagbuhat si Jacob og haligi ibabaw sa iyang lubnganan. Kini ang ilhanan sa lubnganan ni Raquel hangtod niining adlawa.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
21 Padayon nga nagpanaw si Israel ug nagtukod ug tolda unahan sa Migdal Eder.
Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
22 Samtang nagpuyo si Israel nianang dapita, nakigdulog si Ruben kang Bilha nga puyo-puyo sa iyang amahan, ug nadungog kini ni Jacob. Karon si Jacob adunay dose ka mga anak nga lalaki.
While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
23 Ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki kang Lea mao si Ruben, ang kinamagulangang anak ni Jacob, ug si Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isacar, ug Zebulon.
The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
24 Ang iyang anak nga mga lalaki kay Raquel mao si Jose ug Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki kay Bilha, nga sulugoong babaye ni Raquel, mao si Dan ug Naftali.
The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 Ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Zilfa, nga sulugoong babaye ni Lea mao sila Gad ug Aser. Kini mao ang tanang anak nga lalaki ni Jacob nga natawo sa Padan Aram.
The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
27 Miadto si Jacob kang Isaac nga iyang amahan sa Mamre sa Kiriat-Arba, (ingon nga Hebron) diin nagpuyo si Abraham ug Isaac.
Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
28 Si Isaac nabuhi ug 180 ka tuig.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
29 Miginhawa si Isaac sa kataposan ug namatay, usa ka tawo nga tigulang na kaayo ug giipon siya didto sa iyang mga katigulangan. Gilubong siya sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki nga sila si Esau ug Jacob.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
