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.”
Basa naa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ no Yakob nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain fo mana utudꞌu ao ngga neu nggo, leleꞌ mela hela aꞌa ma Esau. Ia naa, ho lali Betel muu leo. Losa naa, muririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Au. Ma leo muu naa leo.”
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.
Basa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no basa ume isi nara nae, “Ia naa, basa hita tae lao Betel teu. Maꞌahulu na, au mia sususaꞌ rala, Lamatualain tulu-fali au mia naa. Au ae uririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ sia naa. Dadꞌi ia naa, nggari hendi basa paton sosonggoꞌ ra leo. Tao mimemeu ao mara, ma nggati bua-baꞌu mara, te ata tae beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.”
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.”
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].
Boe ma ara fee basa paton sosonggoꞌ ma basa aꞌandikiꞌ ra. De Yakob naꞌoi se sia hau huu ineꞌ esa raeꞌ, deka kambo Sikem.
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.
Yakob atahori nara lao mia Sikem ma, Lamatualain fee nemetaus neu atahori ndule nusaꞌ naa ra, de ara nda rambarani tao deꞌulaka Yakob se sa.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Naa de, Yakob no atahori nara, losa Betel sia rae Kanaꞌan no masodꞌaꞌ. (Feꞌesaꞌan, Betel, naran Lus).
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.
Losa naa ma, Yakob lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, El Betel, (sosoa na ‘Betel Lamatualain na’), huu maꞌahulu na Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa, leleꞌ ana nela mia aꞌa na.
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’].
Deka no kambo Betel, hambu hau huu ineꞌ esa atahori rae Alon Bakut. Sosoa na ‘hau ngganggaet’. Ara babꞌae raꞌo naa, huu leleꞌ Ribka ina mana oꞌo na, naran Debora, mate, ara raꞌoi e sia hau huuꞌ naa raeꞌ.
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.
Yakob baliꞌ mia Padan Aram ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na fai, ma fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Eniꞌ a mia ia nema, nara ma, nda Yakob sa ena. Te, Au fee nara feu ma, naeni, Israꞌel.
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.
Au ia, Lamatualain mana Koasa. De bꞌonggi mumuhefu leo! Mete te, nusa-nusaꞌ ra rema mia tititi-nonosi mara. Ma ho bꞌonggi mane-maneꞌ ra.
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.”
Nusaꞌ fo Au fee neu baꞌi Abraham ma amam Isak, ia naa Au fee neu nggo mo tititi-nonosi mara.”
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Lamatualain olaꞌ basa ma, Yakob naririi rii fatuꞌ esa sia naa, dadꞌi nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli na. Boe ma, ana mboꞌa oe anggor, no mina neu fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
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.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, Betel.
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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob se lao hela Betel. Ara feꞌe raꞌadꞌooꞌ ro Efrata (nara feaꞌ na, Betlehem), te Rahel naeꞌ a bꞌonggi ena. Te ana bꞌonggi susa.
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!”
Ana feꞌe naꞌananasaꞌ ma, mana naꞌabꞌobꞌonggiꞌ a nafadꞌe e nae, “Ina Rahel! Tao manggatetee rala ma, huu inaꞌ hambu ana touꞌ esa fai!”
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]’.
Rahel hahae na nae etu ma, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Ben-Oni, (sosoa na ‘ana doidꞌosoꞌ’). Basa naa ma, ana mate boe. Te Yakob babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Benyamin, (sosoa na ‘ana lima onaꞌ’).
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Basa ma, ara raꞌoi Rahel sia dalaꞌ mana nae nisiꞌ Efrata suu na (ia naa, Efrata naran Betlehem).
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Boe ma Yakob naririi fatu rates esa sia naa. Rahel fatu rates na naa, feꞌe sia ia, losa faiꞌ ia.
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].
Basa naa ma, Yakob lali-laliꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Lao esa, ana naririi lalaat deka ume kanaru ineꞌ sa, naran 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.
Ara feꞌe leo sia naa ma, Ruben sungguꞌ no ama na sao tias na, Bilha. Ma Yakob o bubꞌuluꞌ dalaꞌ naa boe. Yakob ana mone nara sanahulu rua. Naeni,
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Lea ana nara, Ruben (fo Yakob ana ulu na), Simeon, Lewi, Yahuda, Isaskar, ma Sebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Rahel ana nara, Yusuf ma Benyamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Rahel ate na Bilha ana nara, Dan ma 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.
Ma Lea ate na Silpa ana nara, Gad, ma Aser. Ara bꞌonggi basa anaꞌ naa ra sia 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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob neu seꞌu ama na Isak sia Mamre deka kambo Kiriat Arba (aleꞌ ia, naran Hebron). Maꞌahulu na, baꞌi Abraham o leo sia naa boe.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
Isak nasodꞌa losa too natun esa falu nulu ma, ana mate. De ana na Yakob no Esau raꞌoi e.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
