Genesis 35

1 To pacoengah Sithaw mah Jakob khaeah, Angthawk ah, Bethel ah caeh tahang ah loe, to ah om ah; nam ya Esau khae hoi na cawnh naah, nang khae kamtueng Sithaw khaeah, hmaicam maeto sah ah, tiah a naa.

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 To pongah Jakob mah a imthung takoh hoi anih khae kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, Nangcae salak ih prae kalah sithawnawk to va o boih ah, ciimcai oh loe, khukbuen to angkraih oh.

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

3 Angthawk oh, Bethel ah caeh o tahang si; raihaih ka tongh na niah ka lok pathimkung hoi ka caehhaih loklam ah kaom thuih Sithaw khaeah, to ih ahmuen ah hmaicam to ka sak han, tiah a naa.

And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 To pongah nihcae ban ah kaom kalah sithawnawk boih, nihcae naa pong ih naa tangkraengnawk to Jakob khaeah paek o boih; to hmuennawk to Jakob mah Shekem ih oak thing tlim ah a phum pae.

And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem.

5 To pacoengah a caeh o; nihcae taeng ih vangpuinawk thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah Sithaw zithaih to phak pongah, mi mah doeh nihcae to patom thai ai.

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that [were] round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6 Jakob hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Kanaan prae thung ih Luz (Bethel thuihhaih ih ni) vangpui ah phak o boih.

So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is], Beth-el, he and all the people that [were] with him.

7 To ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak, amya khae hoi cawnh naah to ahmuen ah Sithaw mah angphong thuih pongah, to ahmuen to El Bethel, tiah kawk.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 To naah Rebekah khenzawnkung, Deborah loe duek moe, Bethel ih oak thingkung tlim ah a phum o; to pongah to ahmuen to Allon Bakuth, tiah kawk.

But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

9 Padan Aram hoi Jakob angzoh naah, anih khaeah Sithaw angphong pae let moe, anih to tahamhoihaih paek.

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.

10 Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Na hmin loe Jakob; toe na hmin to Jakob, tiah kawk mak ai boeh, Israel, tiah ahmin om tih boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah anih ih ahmin to Israel, tiah kawk o.

And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

11 Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Thacak Sithaw ah ka oh; thingthai athai oh loe, pung oh; nang khae hoiah prae maeto hoi acaeng maeto ah om ueloe, nang khae hoiah ni siangpahrangnawk to tacawt o tih;

And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

12 Abraham hoi Issak khaeah ka paek ih prae to kang paek moe, na caanawk khaeah doeh ka paek han, tiah a naa.

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

13 To pacoengah anih hoi lokthuihaih ahmuen hoiah Sithaw mah anih to caehtaak.

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

14 Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen ah thlung maeto thling moe, a nuiah naek koi hmuen to a bawh pacoengah, situi doeh a bawh.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

15 Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen to, Bethel, tiah kawk.

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

16 To pacoengah Bethel hoiah ahmuen kalah bangah angpuen o; Ephrath ahmuen hoi kangthla kue ahmuen ah oh o naah, Rachel caa tapenhaih tue to phak, caa tapen han rai parai.

And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

17 Caa om thai ai naah, nawkta omsakkung mah, anih khaeah, Zii hmah; capa maeto na sah let tih, tiah a naa.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

18 A hinghaih qui apet tom moe, (duek han oh sut naah) a capa to Ben-Oni, tiah ahmin sak; toe ampa mah loe anih to Benjamin, tiah ahmin sak.

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.

19 Rachel loe duek moe, anih to Ephrath (Bethlehem) caehhaih loklam ah aphum o.

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Beth-lehem.

20 Anih aphumhaih taprong nuiah Jakob mah thlung maeto thling; to thlung loe vaihni ni khoek to Rachel ih taprong nuiah thling ih thlung ah oh poe.

And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.

21 Israel loe to ahmuen hoiah caeh moe, Eder imsang to poeng pacoengah kahni im to sak.

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

22 Israel loe to prae ah oh naah, Reuben mah ampa ih zula Billah to iih haih, tiah Israel mah thaih. Jakob loe capa hatlai hnetto tawnh.

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23 Leah ih caanawk loe, Jakob ih calu Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar hoi Zebulun.

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

24 Rachel ih caanawk loe, Joseph hoi Benjamin;

The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

25 Rachel ih tamna Billah ih caanawk loe, Dan hoi Nephtali;

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

26 Leah ih tamna Zilpah ih caanawk loe, Gad hoi Asher. Hae kaminawk loe Padan Aram ah oh o naah sak ih Jakob ih caa ah oh o.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.

27 Jakob loe Hebron, tiah kawk ih Arba vangpui, Abraham hoi Issak ohhaih Mamre ahmuen ah caeh.

And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 Issak loe saning cumvai, qui tazetto hing.

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

29 Issak loe saning coeh moe, mitong naah duek; anih loe anghahhaih takhi to boeng pacoengah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah nawnto oh; a capa Esau hoi Jakob mah anih to aphum hoi.

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
