Genesis 35
1 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Bondye di Jakòb: -Leve non, moute al Betèl, epi rete la. Bati yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lan, lè ou t'ap kouri pou Ezaou, frè ou la.
2 So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
Se konsa Jakòb rele fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun ki avè l' yo. li di yo: -Pran tout lòt bondye etranje n'ap sèvi yo, voye yo jete. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Mete rad nèt sou nou.
3 Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Nou pral kite kote nou ye a, nou pral Betèl, kote mwen pral bati yon lotèl pou Bondye ki te reponn lapriyè m' lè m' te anba tray la, pou Bondye ki te la avèk mwen kote m' pase nan vwayaj mwen te fè a.
4 So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.
Se konsa yo renmèt Jakòb tout bondye etranje yo te gen nan men yo ansanm ak tout zanno yo te gen nan zòrèy yo. Jakòb antere tout sa anba pye bwadchenn ki te toupre lavil Sichèm lan.
5 As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
Apre sa, yo pati. tout moun ki te rete nan zòn lan te vin pè Bondye anpil. Yo yonn pa leve al rapouswiv pitit Jakòb yo.
6 So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
Jakòb rive ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo lavil Louz, nan peyi Kanaran. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betèl tou.
7 There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
Li bati yon lotèl la, li rele kote a Betèl, paske se la Bondye te parèt devan li lè li t'ap kouri pou frè l' la.
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.
Lè sa a, Debora, bòn Rebeka a, mouri. Yo antere l' pi ba Betèl, anba pye bwadchenn lan. Se konsa yo rele pye bwadchenn lan: chenn dlo nan je a.
9 After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
Lè Jakòb te tounen soti Mezopotami, Bondye parèt ankò devan li, li beni li.
10 And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.
Bondye di l' konsa: -Yo rele ou Jakòb pa sa? Men, yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò, y'a rele ou Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a, se Izrayèl yo rele l' vre.
11 And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
Bondye di l' ankò: -Se mwen menm Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. W'ap gen anpil pitit ak pitit pitit. Gen ladan yo k'ap wa. W'ap si tèlman gen anpil pitit pitit, y'a tounen yon kantite nasyon.
12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
Peyi mwen te bay Abraram ak Izarak la, m'ap ba ou li tou. Apre sa, m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo li.
13 Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.
Apre sa, Bondye kite l' kote li t'ap pale ak li a, li moute nan syèl.
14 So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' pou l' make kote Bondye te pale avèk li a. Li pran diven, li wouze wòch la, apre sa li vide lwil sou li.
15 Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
Li rele kote Bondye te pale avè l' la Betèl.
16 Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
Apre sa, yo pati yo kite Betèl. Yo pa t' twò lwen rive lavil Efrata lè lè a te rive pou Rachèl akouche. Li t'ap soufri anpil.
17 During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”
Lè doulè a te pi rèd, fanmchay la di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou fè yon pitit gason ankò.
18 And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
Rachèl tapral mouri, li t'ap rann dènye souf li lè li rele pitit la Bennoni. Men papa a rele l' Benjamen.
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Rachèl mouri, yo antere l' sou wout lavil Efrata. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betleyèm lan tou.
20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.
Jakòb make tonm lan ak yon gwo wòch: yo rele l' Moniman tonm Rachèl la. Wòch la la jouk jòdi a.
21 Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
Apre sa, Izrayèl pati, li al moute tant li lòt bò Migdaledè.
22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
Antan Jakòb t'ap viv nan peyi sa a, Woubenn al kouche ak Bila, yonn nan fanm papa l' yo. Izrayèl vin konn sa, li te fache anpil. Jakòb te gen douz pitit gason.
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Men non pitit Leya te fè pou li yo: Woubenn, premye pitit gason l' lan, Simeyon, Levi, Jida, Isaka ak Zabilon.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Men non pitit Rachèl te fè pou li yo: Jozèf ak Benjamen.
25 The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Men non pitit Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, te fè pou li yo: Dann ak Nèftali.
26 And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Men non pitit Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, te fè pou li yo: Gad ak Asè. Se tout pitit gason sa yo Jakòb te genyen antan li te nan peyi Mezopotami.
27 Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Jakòb al wè papa l' Izarak, nan Manmre (yo rele kote sa a Kija aba tou, ou ankò Ebwon). Se la Abraram ak Izarak te pase tout lavi yo.
28 And Isaac lived 180 years.
Izarak te gen sankatreven lanne sou tèt li
29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
lè li mouri. Li te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou li lè l' al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja. Ezaou ak Jakòb, pitit gason l' yo, antere li.
