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.”
God El fahk nu sel Jacob, “Som nu Bethel ingena ac muta we. Musaela sie loang ah luk we, nga God se su tuh sikwot nu sum pacl se kom tuh kaing lukel Esau, tamulel lom.”
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.
Ouinge Jacob el fahk nu sin sou lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul, “Sisla god saya ma oan yuruwos an. Aknasnasyekowosla, ac nokomang nuknuk nasnas tuh kowos in nasnas ye mutun God.
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.”
Kut ac som liki acn se inge nu Bethel, yen su nga ac fah musaela sie loang nu sin God se su tuh kasreyu in pacl in ongoiya nu sik, ac su nuna wiyu na yen nukewa nga fahsr nu we.”
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].
Ouinge elos sang nu sel Jacob god sac nukewa ma oasr yorolos, ac oayapa yaring ma elos orekmakin. El pikinya ma inge ye sak oak soko apkuran nu Shechem.
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.
Ke Jacob ac wen natul nukewa mukuiyak in som, mwet nukewa su muta in siti srisrik ma apkuran elos arulana sangeng, ac tiana ukwalos.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Jacob el tuku wi mwet lal nukewa nu Luz, su pangpang Bethel in pacl inge, in acn Canaan.
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.
El etoak loang se we ac sang Inen God lun Bethel nu kac, mweyen God El tuh sifacna sikyang nu sel we ke pacl se el tuh kaingkin tamulel lal ah.
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’].
Deborah, mutan tutaf lal Rebecca, el misa ac pukpuki ye sak oak soko layen eir in acn Bethel. Ouinge acn sac pangpang “Sak Oak in Tung.”
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.
Ke pacl se Jacob el foloko liki acn Mesopotamia, God El sifilpa sikyang nu sel ac akinsewowoyal.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
God El fahk nu sel, “Inem pa Jacob, tusruktu ingela inem ac fah pangpang Israel.” Ouinge God El sang inel 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.
Ac God El fahk nu sel, “Nga God Kulana. Lela tuh in oasr tulik puspis nutum. Mutunfacl puspis ac fah tuku ke fwilin tulik nutum, ac kom ac fah papa tumun tokosra puspis.
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.”
Nga ac sot nu sum acn ma nga tuh sang nu sel Abraham ac nu sel Isaac, ac nga fah oayapa sang nu sin fwilin tulik nutum tok.”
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Na God El som lukel.
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.
Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se in acn se ma God El kaskas nu sel we inge, ac akmutalyela ke el ukuiya wain ac oil in olive nu fac.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
Ac el sang inen acn sac 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.
Jacob ac sou lal som liki acn Bethel, ac ke elos srakna loes liki acn Ephrath, na sun pacl in isus lal Rachel, ac arulana upa nu sel in isus.
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!”
Ke pacl se ma upala na pwaye ngal in isus lal, mutan akisus lal el akkeyal ac fahk, “Rachel, akkeye kom. Tulik mukul se pac pa inge.”
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]’.
Tusruktu Rachel el munaslana in misa, ac ke el apkuran in fuhlakinla mong safla lal, el sang inen tulik se natul uh Benoni, a papa tumun tulik sac sang inel Benjamin.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Ke Rachel el misa, pukpuki el sisken inkanek nu Ephrath, su pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se we, ac srakna akilenya kulyuk lal Rachel nwe misenge.
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].
Jacob el sifilpa mukuiyak fahsr nu meet, ac ke el alukela tower Eder el tulokunak iwen aktuktuk lal we.
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.
Ke Jacob el muta in acn sac, Reuben el ona yorol Bilhah, sie sin mutan kulansap kien papa tumal. Ke Jacob el lohngak el arulana foloyak. Oasr wen singoul luo natul Jacob.
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Wen natul Leah pa Reuben (wen se omeet natul Jacob), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, ac Zebulun.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Wen natul Rachel pa Joseph ac Benjamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Wen natul Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal Rachel, pa Dan ac Naphtali.
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.
Wen natul Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal Leah, pa Gad ac Asher. Mukul natul Jacob inge nukewa isusla Mesopotamia.
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.
Jacob el som nu yorol Isaac, papa tumal, in acn Mamre, apkuran nu Hebron, yen Abraham ac Isaac tuh muta we.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
Isaac el moul nwe ke el sun yac siofok oalngoul,
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
ac el misa ke el arulana matuoh. Ac Esau ac Jacob, wen luo natul, eltal piknilya.
