Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
Thuutha wa ũguo Ngai akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ Betheli ũgatũũre kuo, na wakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, o we ũrĩa wakuumĩrĩire rĩrĩa woragĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Esaũ.”
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu akĩĩra andũ a nyũmba yake, na arĩa othe maarĩ nao, atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ngai cia mĩhianano iria mũrĩ nacio, na mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene, na mwĩkĩre nguo ingĩ.
3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
Mũcooke mũũkĩre, mũreke tũthiĩ twambate Betheli, ngaakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, ũrĩa wanjĩtĩkire mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, na ũrĩa ũkoretwo na niĩ kũrĩa guothe ndanathiĩ.”
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩnengera Jakubu ngai cia mĩhianano iria maarĩ nacio, na irengeeri iria ciarĩ matũ mao, nake Jakubu agĩcithika gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi kũu Shekemu.
5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
Nao makiumagara, magĩĩthiĩra, namo matũũra marĩa maamathiũrũrũkĩirie makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya wa Ngai, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamaingatithirie.
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Jakubu na andũ arĩa othe aarĩ nao magĩkinya Luzu (na nĩkuo Betheli), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
Agĩaka kĩgongona kũu, na agĩĩta handũ hau Eli-Betheli, tondũ hau nĩho Ngai aamwĩguũrĩirie rĩrĩa ooragĩra mũrũ wa nyina.
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
Nake Debora mũreri wa Rebeka agĩkua na agĩthikwo gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi mũhuro wa Betheli. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Aloni-Bakuthu.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
Thuutha wa Jakubu gũcooka kuuma Padani-Aramu, Ngai akĩmuumĩrĩra rĩngĩ na akĩmũrathima.
10 And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.
Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Jakubu, no ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Jakubu rĩngĩ; ũrĩĩtagwo Isiraeli.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩta Isiraeli.
11 And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; ciaranai na mũingĩhe. Rũrĩrĩ na gĩkundi kĩa ndũrĩrĩ nĩikoima harĩwe, na athamaki nĩmakoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ waku.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
Bũrũri ũrĩa niĩ ndaheire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o nawe nĩngakũhe guo, na nĩngaheana bũrũri ũyũ kũrĩ njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku.”
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩambata akĩmweherera kuuma handũ hau aamwaragĩria.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ kĩa ihiga handũ hau Ngai aarĩtie nake, agĩgĩitĩrĩria ndibei; agĩcooka agĩgĩitĩrĩria maguta.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
Jakubu agĩĩta handũ hau Ngai aamwarĩirie Betheli.
16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor.
Thuutha ũcio Jakubu na andũ ake makiuma Betheli magĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo. Na matigairie hanini makinye Efiratha-rĩ, Rakeli akĩambĩrĩria kũrũmwo na agĩkorwo arĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno.
17 And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.
Na tondũ aarĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno wa gũciara, mũmũciarithia akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, tondũ ũrĩ na kahĩĩ kangĩ.”
18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
Na atanatuĩkana, tondũ nĩ gũkua aakuaga, agĩtua kahĩĩ kau Beni-Oni. No ithe agĩgatua Benjamini.
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rakeli agĩkua na agĩthikwo mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Efiratha (na nokuo Bethilehemu.)
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ igũrũ rĩa mbĩrĩra yake, na nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ gĩtugĩ kĩu nĩkĩo kĩonanagia mbĩrĩra ya Rakeli.
21 And it came to pass when Israel lived in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
Isiraeli agĩthiĩ o na mbere na rũgendo na akĩamba hema yake mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Migidali-Ederi.
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli aatũũraga bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, Rubeni agĩthiĩ, agĩkoma na Biliha, thuriya ya ithe, nake Isiraeli akĩigua ũhoro ũcio. Jakubu aarĩ na ariũ ikũmi na eerĩ:
23 The sons of Lea, the firstborn of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
Ariũ a Lea maarĩ: Rubeni irigithathi rĩa Jakubu, na Simeoni, na Lawi, na Juda, na Isakaru, na Zebuluni.
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
Ariũ a Rakeli maarĩ: Jusufu na Benjamini.
25 And the sons of Balla, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
Ariũ a Biliha ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Rakeli maarĩ: Dani na Nafitali.
26 And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
Ariũ a Zilipa ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Lea maarĩ: Gadi na Asheri. Acio nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Jakubu, arĩa aaciarĩirwo arĩ kũu Padani-Aramu.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
Na Jakubu agĩkinya mũciĩ kũrĩ ithe Isaaka kũu Mamure, hakuhĩ na Kiriathu-Ariba (nĩkuo Hebironi), kũrĩa Iburahĩmu na Isaaka maatũũrĩte.
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
Isaaka aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩnana.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Agĩcooka agĩtuĩkana agĩkua na agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte, arĩ mũkũrũ na arĩ na mĩaka mĩingĩ. Nao ariũ ake Esaũ na Jakubu makĩmũthika.
