Genesis 35
1 [Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Aa malo idhi Bethel kendo idag kuno mi iger kendo mar misango ne Nyasaye, mane ofwenyoreni kane iringo ia kuom Esau owadu.”
2 So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
Kuom mano Jakobo nowacho ne joode duto kod ji mane ni kode niya, “Wituru nyiseche mag pinje mamoko ma un-go kendo upwodhru mi urwak lewni maler.
3 Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Eka ubi mondo wadhiuru Bethel, kuma abiro dhi geroe kendo mar misango ne Nyasaye, mane odwoka e kinde mane an e chandruok malich kendo ma osebedo koda kamoro amora ma asedhiyoe.”
4 So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
Kuom mano negimiyo Jakobo nyiseche mag pinje mamoko mane gin-go kod stadi mane ni e itgi kendo Jakobo noyikogi e tiend yiend ober man Shekem.
5 As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
Eka negichako wuoth kendo luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye nomako mier duto mane okiewo kodgi maonge ngʼama nolawo bangʼ-gi.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Jakobo kod ji duto mane ni kode nochopo Luz (ma tiende ni Bethel) e piny Kanaan.
7 There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
Kanyo Jakobo nogero kendo mar misango kendo noluongo kanyo ni El Bethel, nikech kanyo ema ne Nyasaye ofwenyorene kane oringo owadgi.
8 Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
Debora, ma japit Rebeka notho kendo noyike e tiend yiend ober machiegni gi Bethel. Kuom mano nochak kanyo ni Allon Bakuth.
9 After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
Bangʼ ka Jakobo nosea Padan Aram, Nyasaye nochako ofwenyorene kendo nogwedhe.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kata obedo ni nyingi en Jakobo to ok nochak oluongi kamano to koro ibiro luongi ni Israel.” Omiyo nochake ni Israel.
11 Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
Kendo Nyasaye nowachone niya, “An Nyasaye Maratego, nywolri kendo imedri. Ogendini kod dhout ogendini noa kuomi kendo ruodhi nowuog kuomi.
12 The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
Piny mane amiyo Ibrahim kod Isaka bende abiro miyi kaachiel gi nyikwayi.”
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Eka Nyasaye nodhi e polo moweye kama ne giwuoyoe kodeno.
14 Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
Jakobo nochungo siro mar kidi kanyono mane Nyasaye owuoyoe kode, kendo noolo ewi sirono misango miolo piny bende noolo misango mar mo ewi siro.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
Jakobo nochako kanyo mane Nyasaye owuoyoe kodeno ni Bethel.
16 Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
Eka negiwuok gia Bethel. Kane gisedhi mochwalore gi Efrath, muoch nochako kayo Rael kendo nochandore ahinya.
17 When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
E kinde mane muoch kayeno, jacholo nowachone niya, “Kik iluor nikech inywolo wuowi machielo.”
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
Kane chunye chiegni chot nochako wuodeno ni Ben-Oni. To wuon mare to nochake ni Benjamin.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Kuom mano Rael notho kendo nokunye e yo madhi Efrath (ma tiende ni Bethlehem).
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Jakobo noketo siro ewi liend Rael kendo nyaka chil kawuono sirono obet kar liend Rael.
21 Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
Israel nochako odhi nyime giwuoth kendo noguro hembe tok oinga mar Migdal Eder.
22 While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
Kane oyudo Israel dak kuno, Reuben nodhi moterore gi Bilha jatich ma nyako mar wuon-gi mi Israel nowinjo wachno. Jakobo ne nigi yawuowi apar gariyo:
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Yawuot Lea ne gin: Reuben wuod Jakobo makayo, Simeon, Lawi, Juda, Isakar kod Zebulun.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Yawuot Rael ne gin: Josef kod Benjamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Yawuot Bilha, jatich Rael madhako ne gin: Dan kod Naftali.
26 The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
Yawuot Zilpa jatich Lea madhako ne gin: Gad kod Asher. Magi ema ne yawuot Jakobo mane onywolone Padan Aram.
27 Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
Jakobo noduogo dala ir wuon-gi Isaka Mamre machiegni gi Kiriath Arba (ma tiende ni Hebron), kumane Ibrahim kod Isaka odakie.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
Isaka nodak higni mia achiel gi piero aboro.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
Eka Isaka notho kendo noluwo kwerene ka oti kendo hike ngʼeny. Kendo yawuot Esau kod Jakobo noyike.
