Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Mawu gblɔ na Yakob be, “Ʋu le afi sia nàyi aɖanɔ Betel, eye nàɖi vɔsamlekpui, asubɔ Mawu si ɖe eɖokui fia wò le esime nèsi le fowò Esau nu la!”
2 And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
Eya ta Yakob gblɔ na eŋumewo katã be woagblẽ aklamakpakpɛ siwo katã wotsɔ ɖe asi vɛ la ɖi, woale tsi, eye woaɖɔli woƒe awuwo.
3 and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.
Eyi edzi be, “Elabena míele Betel yim, eye maɖi vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma na Mawu si se nye gbedodoɖawo le nye xaxaɣi, eye wònɔ anyi kplim le nye mɔzɔzɔ me la.”
4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.
Ale wotsɔ woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo kple togɛwo katã na Yakob, eye wòɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Sekem.
5 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.
Emegbe la, wodze mɔ. Mawu na vɔvɔ̃ dze du siwo katã me woto la dzi, ale be womeho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o.
6 And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Mlɔeba la, Yakob kple eƒe amewo va ɖo Luz si wogayɔna hã be Betel le Kanaan.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
Yakob ɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “Vɔsamlekpui na Betel ƒe Mawu,” elabena Betel ƒe Mawu ɖe eɖokui fiae le esime wònɔ sisim le Esau nu.
8 And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
Eteƒe medidi o la, Debora, ame si kpɔ Rebeka dzi le ɖevime la ku, eye woɖii ɖe ati gã aɖe si le balime si le Betel ƒe anyigbe lɔƒo la te. Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa teƒe ma be, “Konyifafa ƒe ati.”
9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he had come from Padan-Aram, and blessed him.
Esime Yakob va ɖo Betel le eƒe mɔzɔzɔ tso Padan Aram me la, Mawu gaɖe eɖokui fiae, eye wòyrae.
10 And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.
Mawu gblɔ nɛ be, “Wò ŋkɔe nye Yakob, gake womagayɔ wò azɔ be Yakob si gɔmee nye ‘Amebala’ o, ke boŋ woayɔ wò azɔ be Israel si gɔmee nye ‘Ame si te kame kple Mawu.’
11 And God said to him, I am the Almighty God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins.
Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ. Mana nàdzi fũu, eye nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe. Dukɔ geɖewo kple fia geɖewo ado tso wò dzidzimeviwo me.
12 And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Mana anyigba si metsɔ na Abraham kple Isak la nazu tɔwò, eye wòava zu wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ.”
13 And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him.
Eye Mawu dzo le egbɔ, afi si wòƒo nu kplii le la.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and poured on it a drink-offering, and poured oil on it.
Yakob tsɔ kpe tu sɔti aɖe ɖe teƒe si Mawu ƒo nu kplii le la, eye wòwɔ nunovɔsa ɖe edzi; ekɔ ami hã ɖe edzi.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el.
Yakob na ŋkɔ teƒea be Betel si gɔmee nye, “Mawu ƒe Aƒe,” elabena afi ma Mawu ƒo nu kplii le.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed in childbirth; and it went hard with her in her childbearing.
Emegbe la, wodzo le Betel, eye woɖo ta Efrat alo Betlehem lɔƒo. Ke Rahel de asi kuléle me le esime azɔli didi aɖe ganɔ ŋgɔ na wo.
17 And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.
Via dzidzi sesẽ na Rahel. Mlɔeba la, vixela la do ɣli be, “Mègabu mɔkpɔkpɔ o, elabena esia hã ganye ŋutsuvi!”
18 And it came to pass as her soul was departing — for she died — that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.
Esime Rahel nɔ kudɔ ƒom la, ena ŋkɔ ɖevi la be, “Ben Oni” si gɔmee nye “Nye Konyifafa ƒe Vi,” eye wòku. Yakob ya na ŋkɔ ɖevi la be “Benyamin” si gɔmee nye “Nye Nuɖusi ƒe Vi.”
19 And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.
Ale Rahel ku, eye woɖii ɖe mɔ si yi Efrat alo Betlehem la to.
20 And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to [this] day.
Yakob tu ŋkuɖodzikpe si gali va se ɖe egbe la ɖe Rahel ƒe yɔdo dzi.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder.
Israel gayi mɔzɔzɔ dzi, eye wòtu agbadɔ ɖe Eder mɔ godo.
22 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 of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Esi wònɔ afi ma la, Ruben dɔ kple fofoa ƒe kosi, Bilha, eye ame aɖe fi tofi na Israel. Yakob ƒe viŋutsu wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye:
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben — Jacob's firstborn — and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Lea ƒe viŋutsuwo: Ruben, Yakob ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Simeon, Levi, Yuda, Isaka kple Zebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Rahel ƒe viŋutsuwo: Yosef kple Benyamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.
Bilha, Rahel ƒe kosi ƒe viwo: Dan kple Naftali.
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.
Zilpa, Lea ƒe kosi ƒe viwo: Gad kple Aser. Wodzi vi siawo katã nɛ le Padan Aram.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre — to Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron; where Abraham had sojourned, and Isaac.
Mlɔeba la, Yakob va ɖo fofoa, Isak gbɔ le Mamre le Kiriat Arba (teƒe si wogayɔna be Hebron), afi si Abraham hã nɔ.
28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
Isak nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka blaenyi.
29 And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ na, eye wòyi tɔgbuiawo gbɔ. Enɔ agbe wòde edeƒe, eye via ŋutsuwo, Esau kple Yakob ɖii.
