< 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.”
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Gòkè lọ sí Beteli kí o sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀, kí ó mọ pẹpẹ níbẹ̀ fún Ọlọ́run tó farahàn ọ́ nígbà tí o ń sálọ kúrò níwájú Esau arákùnrin rẹ.”
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.
Nítorí náà, Jakọbu wí fún gbogbo ará ilé rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ mú gbogbo àjèjì òrìṣà tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ yín kúrò, kí ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́, kí ẹ sì pààrọ̀ aṣọ yín.
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.”
Nígbà náà ni kí ẹ wá, kí ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sí Beteli, níbi tí n ó ti mọ pẹpẹ fún Ọlọ́run, tí ó dá mi lóhùn ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú mi tí ó sì ti ń pẹ̀lú mi níbi gbogbo tí mo ń lọ.”
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].
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n fún Jakọbu ní gbogbo àjèjì òrìṣà tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ wọn, àti yẹtí etí wọn, Jakọbu sì bo gbogbo wọn mọ́lẹ̀ sábẹ́ igi óákù ní Ṣekemu.
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.
Wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìrìnàjò wọn. Ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run sì ń bẹ lára gbogbo ìlú tí ó yí wọn ká, wọ́n kò sì lépa àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Jakọbu àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì dé sí Lusi (ti o túmọ̀ sí Beteli) tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
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.
Níbẹ̀ ni ó sì mọ pẹpẹ kan tí ó pè ní El-Beteli, nítorí níbẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run ti gbé fi ara hàn án nígbà tí ó ń sálọ fún arákùnrin rẹ̀.
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’].
Kò pẹ́ lẹ́yìn èyí ni Debora, olùtọ́jú Rebeka kú, a sì sin ín sábẹ́ igi óákù ní ìsàlẹ̀ Beteli. Nítorí náà a sọ ọ́ ní Aloni-Bakuti.
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.
Lẹ́yìn tí Jakọbu padà dé láti Padani-Aramu, Ọlọ́run tún fi ara hàn án, ó sì súre fún un.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
Ọlọ́run sì wí fun un pé, “Jakọbu ni orúkọ rẹ, a kì yóò pè ọ́ ní Jakọbu mọ́; bí kò ṣe Israẹli.” Nítorí náà, ó sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Israẹli.
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.
Ọlọ́run sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run alágbára, El-Ṣaddai; máa bí sí i, kí o sì máa pọ̀ sí i. Orílẹ̀-èdè àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ni yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá, àwọn ọba yóò sì jáde wá láti ara rẹ̀.
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.”
Gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún Abrahamu àti Isaaki ni èmi yóò fún ọ pẹ̀lú, àti fún àwọn ìran rẹ tí ó ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn.”
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run gòkè lọ kúrò ní ibi tí ó ti ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Jakọbu sì fi òkúta ṣe ọ̀wọ̀n kan sí ibi tí Ọlọ́run ti bá a sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ta ọrẹ ohun mímu sí orí rẹ̀, ó sì da òróró olifi sí orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
Jakọbu sì pe orúkọ ibi tí Ọlọ́run ti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ ní Beteli.
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ń tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò wọn láti Beteli. Nígbà tí ó sì ku díẹ̀ kí wọn dé Efrata, Rakeli bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rọbí, ó sì ní ìdààmú púpọ̀.
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!”
Bí ó sì ti ń rọbí pẹ̀lú ìrora yìí, agbẹ̀bí wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù nítorí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn ni ó ń bọ̀ yìí.”
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]’.
Bí o sì ti fẹ́ gbé ẹ̀mí mi, torí pé ó ń kú lọ, ó pe ọmọ rẹ̀ náà ní Bene-Oni, ọmọ ìpọ́njú. Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu sọ ọmọ náà ní Benjamini, ọmọ oókan àyà mi.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Báyìí ni Rakeli kú, a sì sin ín sí ọ̀nà Efrata (ti o túmọ̀ sí, Bẹtilẹhẹmu).
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Jakọbu sì mọ ọ̀wọ́n kan sí ibojì rẹ̀, ọ̀wọ̀n náà sì tọ́ka sí ojú ibojì Rakeli títí di òní.
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].
Israẹli sì ń bá ìrìnàjò rẹ̀ lọ, ó sì pa àgọ́ rẹ̀ sí Migida-Ederi, ilé ìṣọ́ Ederi.
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.
Nígbà tí Israẹli sì ń gbé ní ibẹ̀, Reubeni wọlé tọ Biliha, àlè baba rẹ̀ lọ, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀, Israẹli sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà. Jakọbu sì bí ọmọkùnrin méjìlá.
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Àwọn ọmọ Lea, Reubeni tí í ṣe àkọ́bí Jakọbu, Simeoni, Lefi, Juda, Isakari àti Sebuluni.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Àwọn ọmọ Rakeli: Josẹfu àti Benjamini.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Àwọn ọmọ Biliha ìránṣẹ́bìnrin Rakeli: Dani àti 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.
Àwọn ọmọ Silipa ìránṣẹ́bìnrin Lea: Gadi àti Aṣeri. Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ọmọ tí Jakọbu bí ní Padani-Aramu.
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.
Jakọbu sì padà dé ilé lọ́dọ̀ Isaaki baba rẹ̀ ni Mamre nítòsí i Kiriati-Arba (ti o túmọ̀ sí Hebroni). Níbi tí Abrahamu àti Isaaki gbé.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
Ẹni ọgọ́sàn-án ọdún ni Isaaki.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
Isaaki sì kú láìpẹ́ lẹ́yìn ìpadàbọ̀ Jakọbu, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀. Esau àti Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì sin ín.
