Genesis 35
1 Tsono Mulungu anati kwa Yakobo, “Nyamuka uchoke kuno kupita ku Beteli. Kumeneko ukamange guwa lansembe la Mulungu amene anadza kwa iwe pamene umathawa Esau, mʼbale wako.”
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Choncho Yakobo anawuza a pa banja pake ndi onse amene anali naye kuti, “Chotsani milungu yachilendo imene muli nayo, ndipo mudziyeretse nokha ndi kusintha zovala zanu.
And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
3 Tiyeni tinyamuke kuchoka kuno kupita ku Beteli. Kumeneko ndikamumangira guwa lansembe Mulungu amene anandithandiza pa nthawi za masautso anga, komanso amene wakhala nane mʼmayendedwe anga onse.”
And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter to God who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
4 Choncho anamupatsa Yakobo milungu yachilendo yonse imene anali nayo pamodzi ndi ndolo. Iye anazikwirira pansi pa mtengo wa thundu ku Sekemu.
And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
5 Pamenepo ananyamuka, ndipo mtima woopa Mulungu unagwera anthu onse a mʼmizinda yozungulira, kotero kuti palibe aliyense amene anatsatira banja la Yakobo.
So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
6 Yakobo ndi anthu onse anali naye aja anafika ku Luzi (ku Beteli) mu dziko la Kanaani.
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 Kumeneko anamanga guwa lansembe nalitcha Eli Beteli, chifukwa kunali kumeneko kumene Mulungu anadziwulula yekha kwa Yakobo pamene ankathawa mʼbale wake.
And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
8 Debora mlezi wa Rakele anamwalira komweko nayikidwa mʼmanda pansi pa mtengo wa thundu cha kumunsi kwa Beteli. Choncho panatchedwa Aloni-Bakuti (mtengo wamaliro).
And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
9 Yakobo atabwera kuchokera ku Padanaramu, Mulungu anabweranso kwa iye namudalitsa.
And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
10 Mulungu anati kwa iye, “Dzina lako ndiwe Yakobo, koma sudzatchedwanso Yakobo; koma udzatchedwa Israeli.” Choncho anamutcha iye Israeli.
And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.
11 Ndipo Mulungu anati kwa iye, “Ine ndine Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; berekanani ndi kuchulukana. Mtundu wa anthu, inde, mitundu yambiri ya anthu idzatuluka mwa iwe, ndipo ena mwa zidzukulu zako adzakhala mafumu.
And God said to him, I am thy God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Dziko limene ndinapereka kwa Abrahamu ndi Isake ndiliperekanso kwa iwe. Lidzakhala lako ndi la zidzukulu zako.”
And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed after thee.
13 Kenaka Mulungu anamusiya Yakobo.
And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
14 Yakobo anayika mwala wachikumbutso pa malo pamene Mulungu anayankhula naye paja. Iye anathirapo nsembe yachakumwa ndi yamafuta.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
15 Yakobo anawatcha malo amene Mulungu anayankhula naye aja kuti Beteli.
And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
16 Kenaka anachoka ku Beteli. Koma ali pafupi kufika ku Efurata nthawi yakuti Rakele aone mwana inakwana. Iye anavutika pobereka.
[[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.
17 Akanali chivutikire choncho, mzamba anamulimbikitsa nati, “Usaope pakuti ubala mwana wina wamwamuna.”
And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.
18 Tsono pamene Rakele ankapuma wefuwefu (popeza ankamwalira) iye anatcha mwana uja kuti Beni-Oni. Koma abambo ake anamutcha kuti Benjamini.
And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
19 Choncho Rakele anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa pa njira yopita ku Efurata (Kumeneko ndiye ku Betelehemu).
So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
20 Pa manda ake, Yakobo anayimika mwala wachikumbutso wa pa manda ndipo ulipobe mpaka lero.
And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
21 Israeli (Yakobo) anasunthanso nakamanga tenti yake kupitirira nsanja ya Ederi.
And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
22 Israeli akanali mʼderali, Rubeni anapita nakagonana ndi Biliha, mdzakazi wa abambo ake. Yakobo uja anazimva zimenezi. Yakobo anali ndi ana aamuna khumi ndi awiri:
And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Ana a Leya ndi awa: Rubeni anali mwana woyamba wa Yakobo, Simeoni, Levi, Yuda, Isakara, ndi Zebuloni.
The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
24 Ana a Rakele ndi awa: Yosefe ndi Benjamini.
And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Ana a Biliha, wantchito wa Rakele ndi awa: Dani ndi Nafutali.
And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
26 Ana a Zilipa wantchito wa Leya ndi awa: Gadi ndi Aseri. Awa ndiwo ana a Yakobo amene anabadwira ku Padanaramu.
And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Yakobo anafika ku mudzi kwa abambo ake Isake ku Mamre, (kumene kunkatchedwa ku Kiriyati-Ariba kapenanso Hebroni) kumene Abrahamu ndi Isake anakhalako kale.
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
28 Isake anakhala ndi moyo zaka 180.
And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
29 Anamwalira ali wokalamba kwambiri ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake. Ndipo ana ake Esau ndi Yakobo anamuyika mʼmanda.
And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
