Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Chineke sịrị Jekọb, “Bilie, gaa Betel, birikwa nʼebe ahụ. Wuo ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye mere ka ị hụ ya mgbe ị na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne gị nwoke.”
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
Ya mere, Jekọb gwara ndị ezinaụlọ ya na ndị niile so ya sị, “Wezuganụ chi ndị ala ọzọ dị nʼetiti unu. Doonụ onwe unu ọcha, gbanweekwanụ uwe unu.
3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Bilienụ, ka anyị gaa Betel, ebe m ga-ewu ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye zara m oku nʼụbọchị nsogbu m, ma nọnyekwara m na njem nke m gara.”
4 And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Ya mere, ha nyere Jekọb chi ndị ala ọzọ niile ha ji nʼaka, na ọla niile dị ha na ntị. Jekọb chịịrị ha niile lie ha nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Shekem.
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Ha biliri ije. Egwu Chineke dakwasịrị obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ọ dịghị ndị chụsoro ha.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Jekọb na ndị niile so ya rutere Luz, nke a na-akpọkwa Betel nke dị na Kenan.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Jekọb wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe a, kpọọ aha ebe ahụ El Betel, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Chineke gosiri ya onwe ya mgbe ọ na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne ya nwoke.
8 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Debọra, nwanyị lekọtara Ribeka mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, nwụrụ. E liri ya nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Betel. A kpọkwara ebe ahụ, “Osisi ook ebe ịkwa akwa.”
9 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
Chineke gosiri Jekọb onwe ya ọzọ, mgbe o sitere na Padan Aram pụta, gọziekwa ya.
10 And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
Chineke sịrị ya, “Aha gị bụ Jekọb ma a gaghị akpọkwa gị Jekọb ọzọ, kama aha gị ga-abụ Izrel.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ ya Izrel.
11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
Chineke sịrị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Mụọ ọmụmụ, baakwa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ. Otu mba na igwe mba ga-esi na gị pụta. Ndị eze ga-esitekwa gị nʼahụ pụta.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Ala ahụ m nyere Ebraham na Aịzik ka m na-enyekwa gị. Aga m enyekwa ya ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị.”
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
Emesịa, Chineke si nʼebe ahụ ha nọ kparịtaa ụka pụọ.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
Jekọb wuru ogidi nkume nʼebe ahụ Chineke nọ gwa ya okwu. Ọ wụsara onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ wụkwasịkwa mmanụ nʼelu ogidi nkume ahụ.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Jekọb kpọrọ ebe ahụ ya na Chineke nọ kparịtaa ụka Betel.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
Ha biliri ije, site na Betel. Ma mgbe ha ka nọ ebe dị anya site nʼobodo Efrat, Rechel mụrụ nwa, ma o nwere ihe mgbu ka ọ na-amụ nwa.
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
Mgbe o sitere nʼoke ihe mgbu na-amụpụta nwa ahụ, nwanyị na-aghọ nwa gwara ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ọ bụ nwa nwoke ọzọ ka ị mụtara.”
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died ) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Ma tupu Rechel ekuo ume ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ na-anwụ, ọ kpọrọ aha nwa ọhụrụ ahụ Ben-Oni, ma nna ya kpọrọ ya Benjamin.
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
Rechel nwụrụ, e lie ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ gara Efrat, nke a na-akpọkwa Betlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Jekọb wuru ogidi nʼelu ili ya, nke na-eguzokwa ruo taa, igosi ebe e liri Rechel.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
Izrel malitere ije ya, tutu ruo ebe o wuru ebe izuike ya nʼala dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Migdal Eda.
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Mgbe Izrel bi nʼala ahụ, Ruben gara dinakwuru Bilha, iko nwanyị nna ya. E mekwara ka Izrel nụ ihe a Ruben mere. Ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb dị iri na abụọ.
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Ụmụ Lịa bụ, Ruben, ọkpara Jekọb. Simiọn, Livayị, Juda, Isaka na Zebụlọn.
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Ụmụ Rechel bụ, Josef na Benjamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Ụmụ Bilha, odibo nwanyị Rechel bụ, Dan na Naftalị.
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padanaram.
Ụmụ Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa bụ, Gad na Asha. Ụmụ ndị ikom ndị a ka a mụụrụ Jekọb na Padan Aram.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Nʼikpeazụ, Jekọb bịakwutere nna ya Aịzik na Mamre nke dị nso na Kiriat Arba (ebe a na-akpọ Hebrọn). Ebe ahụ ka Ebraham na Aịzik biri na mbụ.
28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and eighty years.
Nʼoge ahụ Aịzik gbara narị afọ na iri afọ asatọ.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Ọ dịkwaghị anya site nʼoge a, Aịzik nwụrụ, mgbe o mere nnọọ agadi. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ, Ịsọ na Jekọb, liri ya.
