Genesis 35
1 Then God told Jacob, “Get ready to go to Bethel and live there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were running away 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 So Jacob told his family and everyone who was with him, “Get rid of the pagan idols you have with you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes.
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 We have to get ready and go to Bethel so I can build an altar to God who answered me in my time of trouble. He has been with me wherever I went.”
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 They handed over to Jacob all the pagan idols they had, as well as their earrings, and he buried them under the oak tree at 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 As they left on their journey, the terror of God spread over all the surrounding towns, so nobody tried to retaliate against Jacob's sons.
A cei awh teh, Cathut takinae hah a tengpam e khonaw pueng dawk ao teh Jakop capa hah pâlei awh hoeh.
6 Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also known as Bethel) in the country of Canaan.
Jakop teh ama koe kaawm e naw pueng hoi Kanaan ram Luz vah a pha awh (Luz teh Bethel doeh).
7 He built an altar there and called the place El-Bethel, because that was where God had appeared to him when he was running away from his brother Esau.
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 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the 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 God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram.
Jakop teh Padam Aram ram lahoi a ban toteh, ahni koe Cathut bout a kamnue teh yawhawi a poe.
10 God told him, “Jacob will not be your name any longer. Instead of Jacob your name will be Israel.” So God 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 Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants.
Hahoi Cathut ni ahni koevah, kai teh Athakasaipounge Cathut lah ka o. Canaw pungdaw nateh, nange miphun dawk hoi siangpahrangnaw a tâco han.
12 I will give to you and to your descendants the land I also gave to Abraham and Isaac.”
Abraham hoi Isak koevah, ka poe e ram heh nang na poe, na catounnaw totouh ka poe telah ati.
13 Then God left the place where he had been speaking to Jacob.
Hattoteh Cathut ni ahni a patonae hmuen koehoi Jakop teh a luen takhai.
14 Afterwards Jacob set up a stone pillar where God had spoken with him. He poured out a drink offering on it, and also olive 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 Jacob called the place Bethel, because he had spoken with God there.
Cathut ni a patonae hmuen hah Bethel telah min a phung.
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and had great difficulty 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 When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
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 But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin.
Hahoi, a muitha a tâco tawmlei vah, a min hah Benoni ati teh, a na pa ni Benjamin telah a phung.
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem).
Rachel a due teh Epharath ceinae lamthung dawk a pakawp awh.
20 Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day.
A tangkom van vah Jakop ni talung a ung teh, hothateh nout nahanelah Rachel pakawpnae tangkom lah ao.
21 Israel moved on and camped beyond the watch tower at Eder.
Isarel teh pou bout a cei teh, Mikdaleder imrasang hloilah rim a sak.
22 During the time he was living there, Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel found out about it. These were the twelve sons of Jacob:
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 (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, 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 Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.
Rachel e a san Bilhah capanaw teh Dan hoi Naphtali doeh.
26 The sons of Leah's personal maid Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him while in Paddan-aram.
Leah e sannu Zilpah canaw teh Gad hoi Asher doeh. Hetnaw teh Paddanaram Jakop ni khe e ca tongpanaw doeh.
27 Jacob returned home to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Jakop ni Mamre Kiriatharba (Hebron) e a na pa Isak hoi Abraham onae koe a pha.
28 Isaac lived to be 180
Isak a hringyung teh kum 180 touh a pha.
29 when he breathed his last and died at an old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death. 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.
