Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Kɔ Bet-El kɔtena hɔ. Sɛ woduru hɔ a, si afɔrebukyia ma me. Me na meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ wo ɛberɛ a na woredwane afiri wo nua Esau nkyɛn no.”
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
Enti, Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa sɛ, “Monsɛe mo anyame a mode wɔn firi amanɔne baeɛ no nyinaa. Monwira mo ho, na monsesa mo ntadeɛ nso.”
3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; 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.
Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Yɛrebɛtu ɛkwan akɔ Bet-El. Na sɛ yɛduru hɔ a, yɛbɛsi afɔrebukyia ama Onyankopɔn a ɔtiee me mpaeɛbɔ wɔ mʼamanehunu mu, na ɔkaa me ho wɔ mʼakwantuo mu no.”
4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [the] ear-rings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem.
Enti, wɔn nyinaa de wɔn ahoni ne nsonkawa maa Yakob. Yakob tuu fam wɔ odum bi ase wɔ Sekem, de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ hɔ.
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that [were] round them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Afei, wɔsiim. Wɔrekɔ no, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nkuro a wɔfaa so no nyinaa mu nnipa no hu a, ɛno enti obiara antumi anti wɔn.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan (that is Beth-el) he and all the people that [were] with him.
Yakob ne ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no bɛduruu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no.
7 And he erected there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, too hɔ edin El-Bet-El, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a ɔredwane afiri ne nua Esau nkyɛn no, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no.
8 But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el, under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
Yei akyiri no, Debora a ɔyɛ Rebeka bagyegyefoɔ no wuiɛ, ma wɔsiee no wɔ odum bi a ɛwɔ Bet-El bɔn mu no ase. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin Alon-Bakut, a asekyerɛ ne Agyaadwotwa Dum.
9 And God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram; and blessed him.
Yakob firi Paddan-Aram bɛduruu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn sane yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no.
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ wɔfrɛ wo Yakob deɛ, nanso ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel a asekyerɛ ne Onipa a ɔne Onyankopɔn adi asie. Enti Onyankopɔn too ne din sɛ, Israel.”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Mene Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ no. Wʼase nnɔre, na wʼase mfɛe. Ɔman ne aman asafo bɛfiri wo mu aba. Saa ara na ahemfo nso bɛfiri wo mu aba.
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.
Mede asase a mede maa Abraham ne Isak no bɛma wo. Aane, mede saa asase korɔ yi ara bɛma wʼasefoɔ.”
13 And God went up from him, in the place where he talked with him.
Yei akyiri no, Onyankopɔn firii beaeɛ a na ɔne Yakob rekasa hɔ no kɔɔ ɔsoro.
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 thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
Afei, Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Ɔsane de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el.
Yakob too beaeɛ a Onyankopɔn ne no kasaeɛ no Bet-El, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn fie.
16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
Yakob ne ne fiefoɔ siim firii Bet-El, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Efrat. Wɔrekɔ no, awoɔ kaa Rahel wɔ akwantemfi.
17 And it came to pass when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
Ɛberɛ a ɔreko awoɔ no, ɔbaa ɔwogyefoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.”
18 And it came to pass as her soul was in departing (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Nanso, Rahel koo awoɔ tɔeɛ. Na ɛberɛ a ne kra refiri ne mu na ɔreyɛ awuo no, ɔtoo ne babarima a wawo no no edin Ben-Oni, a asekyerɛ ne Mʼawerɛhoɔ Mu Ba. “Nanso, nʼagya sane too no edin Benyamin, a asekyerɛ ne Me dɔba.”
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Beth-lehem.
Rahel wuiɛ, ma wɔsiee no wɔ Efrat a ɛno ara ne Betlehem no akwantemfi.
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
Yakob yɛɛ nkaeɛdum sii Rahel ɛda no so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
Israel toaa nʼakwantuo no so, kɔsii ne ntomadan wɔ Edir abantenten no akyiri nohoa baabi.
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:
Ɛberɛ a Israel te saa asase no so no, ɔtee sɛ ne ba panin Ruben ne Bilha a ɔyɛ nʼagya afenaa a waware no no akɔda. Na Yakob wɔ mmammarima dumienu:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Lea mma na wɔn din didi so yi: Ruben a ɔno ne Israel abakan, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar ne Sebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Rahel nso mmammarima baanu no ne Yosef ne Benyamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Rahel afenaa Bilha mmammarima baanu no ne Dan ne Naftali
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher. These [are] the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padan-aram.
Lea afenaa Silpa nso mmammarima baanu no ne Gad ne Aser. Yeinom ne Yakob mmammarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Paddan-Aram no.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah (which [is] Hebron) where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Akyire no, Yakob baa nʼagya Isak nkyɛn wɔ Mamrɛ wɔ Kiriat-Arba, a ɛno ara ne Hebron, baabi a Abraham ne Isak tenaa sɛ ahɔhoɔ no.
28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
Isak dii mfeɛ ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe.
29 And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his people, [being] old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Isak wuiɛ, ma wɔfaa no kɔkaa ne mpanimfoɔ ho; na wabɔ akɔkoraa posoposo. Ne mmammarima Esau ne Yakob na wɔsiee no.
