1 Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Aa malo idhi Bethel kendo idag kuno mi iger kendo mar misango ne Nyasaye, mane ofwenyoreni kane iringo ia kuom Esau owadu.”
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 Kuom mano Jakobo nowacho ne joode duto kod ji mane ni kode niya, “Wituru nyiseche mag pinje mamoko ma un-go kendo upwodhru mi urwak lewni maler.
Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
3 Eka ubi mondo wadhiuru Bethel, kuma abiro dhi geroe kendo mar misango ne Nyasaye, mane odwoka e kinde mane an e chandruok malich kendo ma osebedo koda kamoro amora ma asedhiyoe.”
Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
4 Kuom mano negimiyo Jakobo nyiseche mag pinje mamoko mane gin-go kod stadi mane ni e itgi kendo Jakobo noyikogi e tiend yiend ober man Shekem.
They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 Eka negichako wuoth kendo luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye nomako mier duto mane okiewo kodgi maonge ngʼama nolawo bangʼ-gi.
They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
6 Jakobo kod ji duto mane ni kode nochopo Luz (ma tiende ni Bethel) e piny Kanaan.
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7 Kanyo Jakobo nogero kendo mar misango kendo noluongo kanyo ni El Bethel, nikech kanyo ema ne Nyasaye ofwenyorene kane oringo owadgi.
He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Debora, ma japit Rebeka notho kendo noyike e tiend yiend ober machiegni gi Bethel. Kuom mano nochak kanyo ni Allon Bakuth.
Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
10 Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kata obedo ni nyingi en Jakobo to ok nochak oluongi kamano to koro ibiro luongi ni Israel.” Omiyo nochake ni Israel.
God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
11 Kendo Nyasaye nowachone niya, “An Nyasaye Maratego, nywolri kendo imedri. Ogendini kod dhout ogendini noa kuomi kendo ruodhi nowuog kuomi.
God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
