< 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.”
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare am’Iakòbe, Miongaha, le mionjona mb’e Betele mb’eo vaho imoneño. Mandranjia kitrely aman’ Añahare nisodehàñe ama’o ie nibioñe an-daharan-joke’o Esave.
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.
Aa le hoe t’Iakòbe amy hasavereña’ey naho amo mpiama’e iabio, Apoho ze fonga ndrahare ambahiny ama’ areo, miliova, naho mañova saroñe;
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.”
vaho antao hionjoñe mb’e Betele mb’eo handranjiako kitrely amy Andrianañahare nanoiñe ahiko an-tsan-kaloviloviako vaho nindre amako amy ze lala-nombàko.
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.
Aa le fonga natolo’ iareo am’ Iakòbe o samposampon-draha an-taña’ iereoo naho o kiviro an-dravembia’ iareoo vaho nakafi’ Iakòbe ambane’ ty kile marine’ i Sikeme ao.
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.
Ie nañavelo, le fa amo rova mañohoke iareoo ty firevendreveñañe aman’ Añahare, vaho tsy nihoridañe’ iareo o ana Iakòbeo.
6 Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also known as Bethel) in the country of Canaan.
Nandoake e Loze an-tane-Kanàne ao, toe i Betele, t’Iakòbe, ie naho ondaty nindre ama’e iabio,
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.
le nandranjy kitrely eo vaho natao’e ty hoe El-Betele i toetsey amy te teo ty niboahan’ Añahare ama’e amy fibioña’e an-drahalahi’ey.
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the oak of weeping.”
Nihomake eo t’i Deborae, mpiatra’ i Ribkae, vaho naleveñe ambane’ ty kile ambane’ i Betele ao; le nanoe’e Alòne-Bakòte.
9 God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram.
Niboak’ am’ Iakòbe indraike t’i Andrianañahare amy nienga’e i Padan’ arame naho nitata azey,
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.
le nanao ty hoe ama’e t’i Andrianañahare: Iakòbe ty añara’o, le tsy hatao Iakòbe ka, fa Israele ty ho tahina’o; aa le natao’e Israele ty tahina’e.
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.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e, Izaho ro El-Sadai; mirao­raòa naho mamorohota; hiboak’ ama’o ty foko naho firimboñam-poko, vaho mpanjaka maro ro hiboak’ an-tsandri’o.
12 I will give to you and to your descendants the land I also gave to Abraham and Isaac.”
Le hatoloko azo i tane’ natoloko i Avrahame naho Ietsàke vaho hatoloko amo tarira’o hanonjohy azoo i taney.
13 Then God left the place where he had been speaking to Jacob.
Aa le nienga aze t’i Andrianañahare, amy toetse nitsara’e ama’ey.
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.
Nampitroara’ Iakòbe ajiba i toetse nitsara’e ama’ey, ajiba vato, naho nampidoaña’e enga-rano vaho nañiliña’e solike.
15 Jacob called the place Bethel, because he had spoken with God there.
Aa le natao Iakòbe ty hoe Betele i toetse nitsaran’ Añahare ama’ey.
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.
Nañavelo boak’e Betele iereo, naho didý tsy nipotìtse Efrata te nitsongo t’i Rahkele vaho nisilofe’ ty fañeña’e.
17 When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
Ie añate’ i fitsongoa’ey le hoe i mpiatra’ey ama’e, ko hembañe fa ana-dahy tovo’e toy.
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin.
Ie ho nirofotse ty arofo’e (toe nihomake), le natao’e Benoný ty añara’e, f’ie nitokaven-drae’e Beniamine.
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem).
Aa le nihomake t’i Rahkele le naleveñe an-dalañe mb’e Efrata (i Betlèkheme) ao,
20 Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day.
vaho nampijadoña’ Iakòbe vatolahy an-kibori’e eo; i vatolahin-kiborin-dRahkele henaney.
21 Israel moved on and camped beyond the watch tower at Eder.
Nionjom’beo t’Iakòbe vaho nañoreñe ty kiboho’e ambali’ ty fitala­kesañ’ abo’ i Edère ey.
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:
Ie nimoneñe amy taney t’Israele, le niheo amy Bilhae, sakezan-drae’e ao t’i Reòbene le niolora’e vaho jinanji’ Israele. Ie amy zao, folo-ro’amby ty ana-dahi’ Iakòbe.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
O ana’ i Leaeo: i Reòbene (tañoloñoloña’ Iakòbe), i Simone, i Levy, Iehodà, Isakare, vaho i Zebolone.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
O ana’ i Rahkeleo: Iosefe naho i Beniamine.
25 The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.
O ana’ i Bilhae, mpitoro’ i Rahkeleo: i Dane naho i Naftalý.
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.
O ana’ i Zilpahe, mpitoro’ i Leaeo: i Gade naho i Asère. Irezay ro ana’ Iakòbe nitoly e Padan’ arame añe.
27 Jacob returned home to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Niheo mb’ aman-drae’e Ietsàke e Mamrè añe t’Iakòbe, an-drova’ i Harbà atao Khebroney, i nañialoa’ i Avrahame naho Ietsàkey.
28 Isaac lived to be 180
Ie amy zao, zato-tsi-valom-polo taoñe ty ian’ andro’ Ietsàke.
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.
Nigadoñe ty fipetro’ Ietsàke le nivilasy vaho natontoñe am’ ondati’eo, androanavy henek’ andro; nandentek’ aze t’i Esave naho Iakòbe ana’e.
