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.”
Alò, Bondye te di a Jacob: “Leve ale Béthel e rete la. Fè yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lè ou te sove ale sou frè ou a, Ésaü.”
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.
Alò, Jacob te di moun lakay li yo, ak tout sa ki te avè l yo: “Mete deyò tout dye etranje yo ki pami nou, pirifye nou, e chanje rad nou.
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.”
Annou leve monte Béthel. Mwen va fè yon lotèl la pou Bondye, ki te reponn mwen nan jou detrès mwen an, e ki te avèk mwen nan tout kote ke m te konn ale yo.”
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.
Alò, yo te bay Jacob tout dye etranje ke yo te genyen yo, ak zanno ki te nan zòrèy yo, e Jacob te antere kache yo anba chenn ki te toupre Sichem nan.
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.
Pandan yo t ap vwayaje, yon gwo laperèz te vin sou vil ki te ozanviwon yo, e yo pa t swiv fis a Jacob yo.
6 Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also known as Bethel) in the country of Canaan.
Alò, Jacob te vini Luz (sa vle di, Béthel), ki nan peyi Canaan an, li menm avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo.
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.
Li te bati yon lotèl la, e li te rele plas la, El-Béthel, akoz ke se la Bondye te revele Li menm a li lè li te sove ale kite frè l la.
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the oak of weeping.”
Alò, Débora, nouris Rebecca a, te mouri, e li te antere anba Béthel anba chenn nan. Bwa sa a te rele Allon-bacuth (ki vle di chenn k ap kriye a).
9 God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram.
Alò, Bondye te vin parèt a Jacob ankò lè li te sòti Paddan-Aram, e Li te beni li.
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.
Bondye te di li: “Non ou se Jacob. Yo p ap rele ou Jacob ankò, men Israël va non ou.” Konsa li te rele li Israël.
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.
Bondye osi te di li: “Mwen se Bondye Toupwisan an. Fè fwi, e vin miltipliye. Yon nasyon ak yon gwo konpanyen nasyon va soti nan ou, e wa yo va sòti nan ou.
12 I will give to you and to your descendants the land I also gave to Abraham and Isaac.”
Peyi ke M te bay Abraham, ak Isaac la, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan apre ou yo.”
13 Then God left the place where he had been speaking to Jacob.
Konsa, Bondye te monte kite li nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a.
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.
Jacob te etabli yon pilye nan plas kote Li te pale avèk li a, yon pilye wòch. Li te vide yon bwason kòm ofrann sou li; epi osi li te vide yon lwil sou li.
15 Jacob called the place Bethel, because he had spoken with God there.
Alò, Jacob te nonmen plas kote Bondye te pale avèk li a Béthel.
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.
Yo te vwayaje sòti Béthel. Lè te toujou gen yon distans pou rive Éphrata, Rachel te kòmanse fè pitit li, e li te soufri yon doulè ki te difisil.
17 When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
Lè li te nan doulè rèd konsa, fanm saj la te di l: “Pa pè koulye a, paske ou va gen yon lòt gason.”
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin.
Li te rive, ke pandan nanm li t ap pati (paske li t ap mouri), ke li te nonmen li Ben-Oni; men papa li te rele li Benjamin.
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem).
Rachel te mouri e li te antere nan wout pou ale Éphrata a (sa vle di, Bethléem).
20 Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day.
Jacob te monte yon pilye sou tonm li an, e sa se pilye a tonm Rachel jiska jounen jodi a.
21 Israel moved on and camped beyond the watch tower at Eder.
Israël te avanse e li te monte tant li an pi lwen tou Migdal-Éder a.
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:
Konsa, li te rive ke pandan Israël t ap viv nan peyi a, Reuben te ale kouche avèk Bilha, youn nan fanm a papa li yo, e Israël te tande koze sa a. Alò, te gen douz fis fèt pa Jacob—
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
fis a Léa yo: Reuben, premye ne a Jacob la, ak Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar avèk Zabulon,
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
fis a Rachel yo: Joseph avèk Benjamin;
25 The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.
fis a Bilha yo, sèvant Rachel la: Dan avèk Nephthali;
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.
fis Zilpa yo, sèvant Léa a: Gad avèk Aser. Sa yo se fis Jacob yo ki te fèt a li menm nan Paddan-Aram.
27 Jacob returned home to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Jacob te vini vè papa li, Isaac nan Mamré pou Kirjath-Arba (ki se Hébron), kote Abraham avèk Isaac te demere a.
28 Isaac lived to be 180
Alò, jou Isaac yo te san-katre-ven ane.
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.
Isaac te rann dènye souf li. Li te mouri, e li te rasanble vè moun li yo, yon granmoun anpil laj. Konsa, Ésaü avèk Jacob te antere li.
