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!”
Then God sayde to Iaakob, Arise, goe vp to Beth-el and dwell there, and make there an altar vnto God, that appeared vnto thee, when thou fleddest from 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 saide Iaakob vnto his houshold and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and clense your selues, 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.”
For we will rise and goe vp to Beth-el, and I will make an altar there vnto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in 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 gaue vnto Iaakob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their earings which were in their eares, and Iaakob hidde them vnder an oke, which 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.
Then they went on their iourney, and the feare of God was vpon the cities that were roud about them: so that they did not follow after the sonnes of Iaakob.
6 Mlɔeba la, Yakob kple eƒe amewo va ɖo Luz si wogayɔna hã be Betel le Kanaan.
So came Iaakob to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan: (the same is Beth-el) hee and all the people that was 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 had called the place, The God of Beth-el, because that God appeared vnto him there, when he fled from 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.”
Then Deborah Rebekahs nourse dyed, and was buried beneath Beth-el vnder an oke: and he called the name of it Allon Bachuth.
9 Esime Yakob va ɖo Betel le eƒe mɔzɔzɔ tso Padan Aram me la, Mawu gaɖe eɖokui fiae, eye wòyrae.
Againe God appeared vnto Iaakob, after he came out of Padan 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.’
Moreouer God said vnto him, Thy name is Iaakob: thy name shalbe no more called Iaakob, but Israel shalbe thy name: and hee 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.
Againe God said vnto him, I am God all sufficient. growe, and multiplie. a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring of thee, and Kings shall come out of thy loynes.
12 Mana anyigba si metsɔ na Abraham kple Isak la nazu tɔwò, eye wòava zu wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ.”
Also I will giue the lande, which I gaue to Abraham and Izhak, vnto thee: and vnto thy seede after thee will I giue that land.
13 Eye Mawu dzo le egbɔ, afi si wòƒo nu kplii le la.
So God ascended from him in the place where he had talked 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 Iaakob set vp a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone, and powred drinke offring thereon: also hee powred oyle thereon.

And Iaakob called the name of the place, where God spake with him, Beth-el.
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.
Then they departed from Beth-el, and when there was about halfe a daies iourney of ground to come to Ephrath, Rahel trauailed, and in trauailing she was in perill.
17 Via dzidzi sesẽ na Rahel. Mlɔeba la, vixela la do ɣli be, “Mègabu mɔkpɔkpɔ o, elabena esia hã ganye ŋutsuvi!”
And whe she was in paines of her labour, the midwife saide vnto her, Feare not: for thou shalt haue this sonne also.
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.”
Then as she was about to yeelde vp the Ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Beniamin.
