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.”
Cathut ni Jakop koevah, thaw nateh Bethel kho vah cet nateh hawvah awm, na hmau Esaw koehoi na yawng nah nang koe ka kamnuek e Cathut hanelah thuengnae khoungroe hah sak telah ati.
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.
Jakop ni a imthung hoi ama koe kaawm e tami pueng koe, nangmouh koe Jentelnaw e cathut kaawm e hah tâkhawng awh, kamthoung awh, na khohna hah kâthung awh.
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.”
Bethel vah luen awh sei. Rucatnae kâhmo awh lahun navah, na pathung teh ka cei nah tangkuem koevah, na ka awmkhaikung Cathut hanelah khoungroe ka sak han ati.
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.
Hottelah hoi miphun alouke cathutnaw e a kut dawk e kaawm e pueng hoi a hnânaw dawk a pacap awh e naw hah Jakop a poe awh. Jakop ni Shekhem teng e kathen kung rahim vah a hro awh.
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.
A cei awh teh, Cathut takinae hah a tengpam e khonaw pueng dawk ao teh Jakop capa hah pâlei awh hoeh.
6 And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.
Jakop teh ama koe kaawm e naw pueng hoi Kanaan ram Luz vah a pha awh (Luz teh Bethel doeh).
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.
Hawvah khoungroe a sak teh, haw e hmuen teh El Bethel telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh a hmau koehoi a yawng lahun navah hawvah ahni koe Cathut a kamnue.
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.’
Rebekah ka awmkhaikung Deborah hah a due teh, khoungroe rahim e bengkengkung rahim vah a pakawp awh. Hottelah hoi hote bengkeng e a min teh Allon Bakuth telah ati awh.
9 Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
Jakop teh Padam Aram ram lahoi a ban toteh, ahni koe Cathut bout a kamnue teh yawhawi a poe.
10 saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,
Cathut ni ahni koe na min teh Jakop eiteh, na min teh Jakop telah tet awh mahoeh toe, na min teh Isarel ti han toe telah ati. Hottelah hoi a min hah Isarel telah ati.
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.
Hahoi Cathut ni ahni koevah, kai teh Athakasaipounge Cathut lah ka o. Canaw pungdaw nateh, nange miphun dawk hoi siangpahrangnaw a tâco han.
12 And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”
Abraham hoi Isak koevah, ka poe e ram heh nang na poe, na catounnaw totouh ka poe telah ati.
13 And he withdrew from him.
Hattoteh Cathut ni ahni a patonae hmuen koehoi Jakop teh a luen takhai.
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,
A patonae hmuen koe Jakop ni talung a ung. A ung e teh talung doeh. A lathueng vah nei thuengnae hah a awi teh, satui hai a van vah a awi.
15 and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’
Cathut ni a patonae hmuen hah Bethel telah min a phung.
16 Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,
Bethel hoi a cei awh teh, Ephrath a pha awh nahanelah ahlapoung. Rachel camo o hane a pataw teh pueng hoi patawnae a khang.
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.”
Hahoi, hettelah doeh. A patawnae a khang lahun nah camo kaawm sak e ni taket hanh ca tongpa alouke na khe han dawk doeh telah atipouh.
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.
Hahoi, a muitha a tâco tawmlei vah, a min hah Benoni ati teh, a na pa ni Benjamin telah a phung.
19 And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.
Rachel a due teh Epharath ceinae lamthung dawk a pakawp awh.
20 And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.
A tangkom van vah Jakop ni talung a ung teh, hothateh nout nahanelah Rachel pakawpnae tangkom lah ao.
21 Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.
Isarel teh pou bout a cei teh, Mikdaleder imrasang hloilah rim a 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.
Hahoi, Isarel teh haw e ram dawk ao lahun navah, Reuben ni a na pa e ado Bilhah a ikhai e hah Isarel ni a thai.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Jakop capanaw teh 12 touh a pha awh. Leah capanaw thung dawk Reuben teh Jakop e camin la ao teh Simeon, Levih, Judah, Issakhar hoi Zebulun tinaw doeh.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Rachel capanaw teh Joseph hoi Benjamin doeh.
25 The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.
Rachel e a san Bilhah capanaw teh Dan hoi Naphtali doeh.
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 e sannu Zilpah canaw teh Gad hoi Asher doeh. Hetnaw teh Paddanaram Jakop ni khe e ca tongpanaw doeh.
27 And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Jakop ni Mamre Kiriatharba (Hebron) e a na pa Isak hoi Abraham onae koe a pha.
28 And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.
Isak a hringyung teh kum 180 touh a pha.
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.
Isak ni hnukteng a kâha a phout teh a hnin pakhit lahoi a due. A due toteh a huikonaw koe pakawp e lah ao van teh a capa Esaw hoi Jakop ni a pakawp roi.
