Genesis 35
1 About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
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.
2 In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.
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.
3 Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”
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.
4 Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.
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.
5 And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.
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.
6 And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.
Jakob hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Kanaan prae thung ih Luz (Bethel thuihhaih ih ni) vangpui ah phak o boih.
7 And he built an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there, God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
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.
8 About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’
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.
9 Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
Padan Aram hoi Jakob angzoh naah, anih khaeah Sithaw angphong pae let moe, anih to tahamhoihaih paek.
10 saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,
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.
11 and he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from your loins.
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;
12 And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”
Abraham hoi Issak khaeah ka paek ih prae to kang paek moe, na caanawk khaeah doeh ka paek han, tiah a naa.
13 And he withdrew from him.
To pacoengah anih hoi lokthuihaih ahmuen hoiah Sithaw mah anih to caehtaak.
14 In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,
Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen ah thlung maeto thling moe, a nuiah naek koi hmuen to a bawh pacoengah, situi doeh a bawh.
15 and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’
Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen to, Bethel, tiah kawk.
16 Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,
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.
17 because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”
Caa om thai ai naah, nawkta omsakkung mah, anih khaeah, Zii hmah; capa maeto na sah let tih, tiah a naa.
18 Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.
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.
19 And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.
Rachel loe duek moe, anih to Ephrath (Bethlehem) caehhaih loklam ah aphum o.
20 And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.
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.
21 Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.
Israel loe to ahmuen hoiah caeh moe, Eder imsang to poeng pacoengah kahni im to sak.
22 And when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
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.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Leah ih caanawk loe, Jakob ih calu Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar hoi Zebulun.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Rachel ih caanawk loe, Joseph hoi Benjamin;
25 The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.
Rachel ih tamna Billah ih caanawk loe, Dan hoi Nephtali;
26 The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
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.
27 And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Jakob loe Hebron, tiah kawk ih Arba vangpui, Abraham hoi Issak ohhaih Mamre ahmuen ah caeh.
28 And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.
Issak loe saning cumvai, qui tazetto hing.
29 And being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
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.
