Mose 1 35
1 Mawu gblɔ na Yakob be, “Ʋu le afi sia nàyi aɖanɔ Betel, eye nàɖi vɔsamlekpui, asubɔ Mawu si ɖe eɖokui fia wò le esime nèsi le fowò Esau nu la!”
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to thee when thou fled from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Eya ta Yakob gblɔ na eŋumewo katã be woagblẽ aklamakpakpɛ siwo katã wotsɔ ɖe asi vɛ la ɖi, woale tsi, eye woaɖɔli woƒe awuwo.
Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.
3 Eyi edzi be, “Elabena míele Betel yim, eye maɖi vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma na Mawu si se nye gbedodoɖawo le nye xaxaɣi, eye wònɔ anyi kplim le nye mɔzɔzɔ me la.”
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 on the way which I went.
4 Ale wotsɔ woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo kple togɛwo katã na Yakob, eye wòɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Sekem.
And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears. And Jacob hid them under the oak that was by Shechem.
5 Emegbe la, wodze mɔ. Mawu na vɔvɔ̃ dze du siwo katã me woto la dzi, ale be womeho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o.
And they journeyed, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 Mlɔeba la, Yakob kple eƒe amewo va ɖo Luz si wogayɔna hã be Betel le Kanaan.
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Bethel), he and all the people that were with him.
7 Yakob ɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “Vɔsamlekpui na Betel ƒe Mawu,” elabena Betel ƒe Mawu ɖe eɖokui fiae le esime wònɔ sisim le Esau nu.
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-bethel, because God was revealed to him there, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Eteƒe medidi o la, Debora, ame si kpɔ Rebeka dzi le ɖevime la ku, eye woɖii ɖe ati gã aɖe si le balime si le Betel ƒe anyigbe lɔƒo la te. Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa teƒe ma be, “Konyifafa ƒe ati.”
And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak. And the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.
9 Esime Yakob va ɖo Betel le eƒe mɔzɔzɔ tso Padan Aram me la, Mawu gaɖe eɖokui fiae, eye wòyrae.
And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
10 Mawu gblɔ nɛ be, “Wò ŋkɔe nye Yakob, gake womagayɔ wò azɔ be Yakob si gɔmee nye ‘Amebala’ o, ke boŋ woayɔ wò azɔ be Israel si gɔmee nye ‘Ame si te kame kple Mawu.’
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.
11 Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ. Mana nàdzi fũu, eye nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe. Dukɔ geɖewo kple fia geɖewo ado tso wò dzidzimeviwo me.
And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Mana anyigba si metsɔ na Abraham kple Isak la nazu tɔwò, eye wòava zu wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ.”
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to thee, and I will give the land to thy seed after thee.
13 Eye Mawu dzo le egbɔ, afi si wòƒo nu kplii le la.
And God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
14 Yakob tsɔ kpe tu sɔti aɖe ɖe teƒe si Mawu ƒo nu kplii le la, eye wòwɔ nunovɔsa ɖe edzi; ekɔ ami hã ɖe edzi.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
15 Yakob na ŋkɔ teƒea be Betel si gɔmee nye, “Mawu ƒe Aƒe,” elabena afi ma Mawu ƒo nu kplii le.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
16 Emegbe la, wodzo le Betel, eye woɖo ta Efrat alo Betlehem lɔƒo. Ke Rahel de asi kuléle me le esime azɔli didi aɖe ganɔ ŋgɔ na wo.
And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
17 Via dzidzi sesẽ na Rahel. Mlɔeba la, vixela la do ɣli be, “Mègabu mɔkpɔkpɔ o, elabena esia hã ganye ŋutsuvi!”
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not, for now thou shall have another son.
18 Esime Rahel nɔ kudɔ ƒom la, ena ŋkɔ ɖevi la be, “Ben Oni” si gɔmee nye “Nye Konyifafa ƒe Vi,” eye wòku. Yakob ya na ŋkɔ ɖevi la be “Benyamin” si gɔmee nye “Nye Nuɖusi ƒe Vi.”
And it came to pass, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
19 Ale Rahel ku, eye woɖii ɖe mɔ si yi Efrat alo Betlehem la to.
And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).
20 Yakob tu ŋkuɖodzikpe si gali va se ɖe egbe la ɖe Rahel ƒe yɔdo dzi.
And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave, the same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
21 Israel gayi mɔzɔzɔ dzi, eye wòtu agbadɔ ɖe Eder mɔ godo.
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
22 Esi wònɔ afi ma la, Ruben dɔ kple fofoa ƒe kosi, Bilha, eye ame aɖe fi tofi na Israel. Yakob ƒe viŋutsu wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye:
And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Lea ƒe viŋutsuwo: Ruben, Yakob ƒe viŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Simeon, Levi, Yuda, Isaka kple Zebulon.
The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
27 Mlɔeba la, Yakob va ɖo fofoa, Isak gbɔ le Mamre le Kiriat Arba (teƒe si wogayɔna be Hebron), afi si Abraham hã nɔ.
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 Isak nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka blaenyi.
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
29 Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ na, eye wòyi tɔgbuiawo gbɔ. Enɔ agbe wòde edeƒe, eye via ŋutsuwo, Esau kple Yakob ɖii.
And Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
