Genesis 35
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your brother.”
Tedae Pathen loh Jakob la, “Thoo, Bethel la cet lamtah pahoi khosa. Te phoeiah na maya Esau mikhmuh lamkah na yong vaengah nang taengah aka phoe Pathen ham hmueihtuk khaw pahoi saii,” a ti nah.
2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
Te dongah Jakob loh amah imkhuikho neh a taengkah aka om boeih taengah, “Nangmih lakli kah kholong pathen rhoek te voei uh. Te phoeiah caihcil uh lamtah na himbai te tho uh laeh.
3 Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Thoo uh sih lamtah Bethel la cet uh sih. Ka citcai tue vaengah kai aka doo tih ka caeh long ah kai taengah aka om Pathen ham hmueihtuk pahoi ka saii ni,” a ti nah.
4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
Te dongah amih kut kah kholong pathen rhoek boeih neh a hna dongkah hnaii te Jakob taengah a paek uh tih Jakob loh Shekhem taengkah rhokael hmuiah a up.
5 As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
Tedae a caeh uh neh Pathen kah mueirhih loh khopuei kaepvai ah yaal tih Jakob ca te hloem uh pawh.
6 So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
Te phoeiah Jakob neh amah taengkah a pilnam boeih loh Kanaan kho kah Luz Bethel te a pha uh.
7 He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from his brother.
Te vaengah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih a hmuen te El Bethel a sui. A maya mikhmuh lamloh a yong vaengah khaw te rhoek ah ni anih ham Pathen a phoe pah dongah ni.
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
Rebekah kah cakhoem Deborah a duek vaengah khaw Bethel kungdak kah thingnu hmuiah a up tih a ming te Allon Bakuth la a khue.
9 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
Paddanaram lamkah koep a mael vaengah khaw Jakob taengah Pathen a phoe pah tih yoethen a paek.
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God called his name Israel.
Te vaengah Pathen loh anih te, “Na ming he Jakob dae na ming te Jakob la n'khue voel pawt vetih Israel ni nang ming la aka om eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ming te Israel la a khue bal.
11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.
Te phoeiah anih te Pathen loh, “Kai he Pathen Tlungthang ni. Pungtai lamtah namtom ah ping uh. Namtom hlangping khaw nang lamkah ha thoeng vetih na pumpu lamloh manghai thoeng uh ni.
12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”
Abraham neh Isaak taengah ka paek hmuen te nang taengah kan paek vetih nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah khaw khohmuen te ka paek ni,” a ti nah.
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Tekah hmuen ah Jakob neh a cal rhoi pangthuem Pathen te anih taeng lamloh vik cet.
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.
Te dongah amah neh a voek nah hmuen ah Jakob loh kaam a ling tih kaam lung te tuisi a suep tih situi a bueih.
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh amah a voek nah hmuen ming te Jakob loh Bethel la pahoi a khue.
16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
Te phoeiah Bethel lamkah puen uh tih Epharath la caeh ham kho te a lak om pueng dae Rakhel te camoe om tih a ca om bahoeng kuel.
17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
Tedae a ca om a a tloh vaengah anih te ca aka om sak loh, “Tahae kah khaw nang ham tongpa la koep a om dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.
18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
A duek tom kah a hinglu a pat thuk vaengah camoe ming te Benoni la a khue. Tedae a napa long tah anih te Benjamin la a khue.
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Te vaengah Rakhel duek tih Epharath Bethlehem long ah te a up.
20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.
Rakhel kah hlan soah Jakob loh kaam a ling te tihnin due Rakhel phuel kah kaam la om.
21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.
Te phoeiah Israel te cet tih Mikdaleder kah a voel ah dap a tuk.
22 While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.
Tedae tekah kho ah khosa la Israel a om vaengah Reuben te cet tih a napa kah yula Bilhah taengah a yalh te Israel loh a yaak. Te vaengah Jakob ca rhoek hlang hlai nit om uh.
23 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Leah ca rhoek ah Reuben te Jakob caming la om tih Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakhar neh Zebulun omuh.
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Rakhel ca rhoi la Joseph neh Benjamin om.
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
Rakhel imom Bilhah ca rhoi la Dan neh Naphtali om.
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
Leah salnu Zilpah ca la Gad neh Asher he om tih Paddanaram ah Jakob ca tongpa la a cun pah.
27 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Mamre Kiriatharba Hebron kah a napa Isaak taengla a pha. Teah te Abraham khaw Isaak khaw bakuep.
28 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
Te vaengah Isaak kah khohnin loh kum ya neh kum sawmrhet lo coeng.
29 Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
Isaak khaw pal tih a duek vaengah patong kum soep la a pilnam taengah khoem uh coeng. Anih te a ca rhoi Esau neh Jakob loh a up.
