Genesis 35
1 And God says to Jacob, “Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to you in your fleeing from the face of your brother Esau.”
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 says to his household, and to all who [are] with him, “Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
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 we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my tribulation, and is with me in the way that I have gone.”
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 give to Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hides them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;
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 and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] around them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
Nao makiumagara, magĩĩthiĩra, namo matũũra marĩa maamathiũrũrũkĩirie makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya wa Ngai, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamaingatithirie.
6 And Jacob comes to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,
Jakubu na andũ arĩa othe aarĩ nao magĩkinya Luzu (na nĩkuo Betheli), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
7 and he builds there an altar, and proclaims at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed to him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
Agĩaka kĩgongona kũu, na agĩĩta handũ hau Eli-Betheli, tondũ hau nĩho Ngai aamwĩguũrĩirie rĩrĩa ooragĩra mũrũ wa nyina.
8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, dies, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calls its name “Oak of Weeping.”
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 appears to Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesses him;
Thuutha wa Jakubu gũcooka kuuma Padani-Aramu, Ngai akĩmuumĩrĩra rĩngĩ na akĩmũrathima.
10 and God says to him, “Your name [is] Jacob: your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel is your name”; and He calls 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 says to him, “I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from you, and kings from your loins go out;
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 have given to Abraham and to Isaac—to you I give it, indeed to your seed after you I give the land.”
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 goes up from him, in the place where He has spoken with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩambata akĩmweherera kuuma handũ hau aamwaragĩria.
14 And Jacob sets up a standing pillar in the place where He has spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he pours on it an oblation, and he pours on it oil;
Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ kĩa ihiga handũ hau Ngai aarĩtie nake, agĩgĩitĩrĩria ndibei; agĩcooka agĩgĩitĩrĩria maguta.
15 and Jacob calls the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
Jakubu agĩĩta handũ hau Ngai aamwarĩirie Betheli.
16 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a distance of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel bears, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
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 comes to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife says to her, “Do not fear, for this also [is] a son for you.”
Na tondũ aarĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno wa gũciara, mũmũciarithia akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, tondũ ũrĩ na kahĩĩ kangĩ.”
18 And it comes to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calls his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
Na atanatuĩkana, tondũ nĩ gũkua aakuaga, agĩtua kahĩĩ kau Beni-Oni. No ithe agĩgatua Benjamini.
19 and Rachel dies, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Beth-Lehem,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rakeli agĩkua na agĩthikwo mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Efiratha (na nokuo Bethilehemu.)
20 and Jacob sets up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ igũrũ rĩa mbĩrĩra yake, na nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ gĩtugĩ kĩu nĩkĩo kĩonanagia mbĩrĩra ya Rakeli.
21 And Israel journeys, and stretches out his tent beyond the Tower of Edar;
Isiraeli agĩthiĩ o na mbere na rũgendo na akĩamba hema yake mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Migidali-Ederi.
22 and it comes to pass in Israel’s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goes, and lies with his father’s concubine Bilhah; and Israel hears.
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 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Ariũ a Lea maarĩ: Rubeni irigithathi rĩa Jakubu, na Simeoni, na Lawi, na Juda, na Isakaru, na Zebuluni.
24 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Ariũ a Rakeli maarĩ: Jusufu na Benjamini.
25 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.
Ariũ a Biliha ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Rakeli maarĩ: Dani na Nafitali.
26 And sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
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 comes to his father Isaac, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have 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 are one hundred and eighty years,
Isaaka aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩnana.
29 and Isaac expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people, aged and satisfied with days; and his sons Esau and Jacob bury 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.
