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!”
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJakobe: Sukuma, yenyukela eBhetheli, uhlale khona; umenzele lapho ilathi uNkulunkulu owabonakala kuwe mhla ubaleka ebusweni bukaEsawu umnewenu.
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.
UJakobe wasesithi kundlu yakhe lakubo bonke ababelaye: Susani onkulunkulu bezizwe abaphakathi kwenu, lizihlambulule, lintshintshe izembatho zenu.
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.”
Asisukume senyukele eBhetheli, ngimenzele khona uNkulunkulu ilathi owangiphendula ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami, njalo waba lami endleleni engahamba kuyo.
4 Ale wotsɔ woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo kple togɛwo katã na Yakob, eye wòɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Sekem.
Basebenika uJakobe bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe ababesesandleni sabo, lamacici ayesezindlebeni zabo; uJakobe wasekufihla ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi eliseShekema.
5 Emegbe la, wodze mɔ. Mawu na vɔvɔ̃ dze du siwo katã me woto la dzi, ale be womeho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o.
Basebehamba; lokwesabeka kukaNkulunkulu kwakuphezu kwemizi eyayibazingelezele, njalo kabawaxotshanga amadodana kaJakobe.
6 Mlɔeba la, Yakob kple eƒe amewo va ɖo Luz si wogayɔna hã be Betel le Kanaan.
UJakobe wasefika eLuzi, eselizweni leKhanani, eyiBhetheli, yena labantu bonke ababelaye.
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.
Wasesakha khona ilathi, wayibiza indawo ngokuthi iEli-Bhetheli, ngoba lapho uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuye ekubalekeleni ubuso bomnewabo.
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.”
Njalo uDebora umlizane kaRebeka wafa, wangcwatshwa ezansi kweBhetheli ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, ngakho wasitha ibizo laso iAloni-Bakuthi.
9 Esime Yakob va ɖo Betel le eƒe mɔzɔzɔ tso Padan Aram me la, Mawu gaɖe eɖokui fiae, eye wòyrae.
UNkulunkulu wasebuya wabonakala kuJakobe evela ePadani-Arama, wambusisa.
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.’
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Ibizo lakho nguJakobe; ibizo lakho kalisayikuthiwa nguJakobe, kodwa uIsrayeli kuzakuba libizo lakho. Wabiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uIsrayeli.
11 Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ. Mana nàdzi fũu, eye nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe. Dukɔ geɖewo kple fia geɖewo ado tso wò dzidzimeviwo me.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; zala wande; isizwe, yebo ibandla lezizwe kuzavela kuwe; lamakhosi azaphuma ekhalweni lwakho.
12 Mana anyigba si metsɔ na Abraham kple Isak la nazu tɔwò, eye wòava zu wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ.”
Lelizwe engalinika uAbrahama loIsaka ngizalinika wena, lenzalweni yakho emva kwakho ngizayinika ilizwe.
13 Eye Mawu dzo le egbɔ, afi si wòƒo nu kplii le la.
UNkulunkulu wasesenyuka esuka kuye endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona.
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.
UJakobe wasemisa insika endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona, insika yelitshe. Wathululela phezu kwayo umnikelo wokunathwayo, wathela phezu kwayo amagcobo.
15 Yakob na ŋkɔ teƒea be Betel si gɔmee nye, “Mawu ƒe Aƒe,” elabena afi ma Mawu ƒo nu kplii le.
UJakobe waseyitha ibizo lendawo, lapho uNkulunkulu ayekhulume laye khona, iBhetheli.
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.
Basebehamba besuka eBhetheli; kwathi kusesengummango ukuya eEfrathi, uRasheli wabeletha, wayelobunzima ekubeletheni.
17 Via dzidzi sesẽ na Rahel. Mlɔeba la, vixela la do ɣli be, “Mègabu mɔkpɔkpɔ o, elabena esia hã ganye ŋutsuvi!”
Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe nzima, umbelethisi wathi kuye: Ungesabi, ngoba lalo uzakuba yindodana yakho.
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.”
Kwasekusithi umphefumulo wakhe usuphuma, ngoba esesifa, wayitha ibizo layo uBenoni; kodwa uyise wayibiza ngokuthi nguBhenjamini.
19 Ale Rahel ku, eye woɖii ɖe mɔ si yi Efrat alo Betlehem la to.
URasheli wasesifa, wangcwatshwa endleleni eya eEfrathi, eyiBhethelehema.
20 Yakob tu ŋkuɖodzikpe si gali va se ɖe egbe la ɖe Rahel ƒe yɔdo dzi.
UJakobe wasemisa insika phezu kwengcwaba lakhe; le yinsika yengcwaba likaRasheli kuze kube lamuhla.
21 Israel gayi mɔzɔzɔ dzi, eye wòtu agbadɔ ɖe Eder mɔ godo.
UIsrayeli wasehamba, wamisa ithente lakhe ngaphambili komphotshongo weEderi.
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:
Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli ehlala kulelolizwe, uRubeni waya walala loBiliha umfazi omncinyane kayise; uIsrayeli wasekuzwa. Amadodana kaJakobe-ke ayelitshumi lambili;

27 Mlɔeba la, Yakob va ɖo fofoa, Isak gbɔ le Mamre le Kiriat Arba (teƒe si wogayɔna be Hebron), afi si Abraham hã nɔ.
UJakobe wasefika kuIsaka uyise eMamre, eKiriyathi-Arba, eyiHebroni, lapho uAbrahama ahlala khona njengowezizwe, loIsaka.
28 Isak nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka blaenyi.
Lensuku zikaIsaka zaziyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
29 Etsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔ na, eye wòyi tɔgbuiawo gbɔ. Enɔ agbe wòde edeƒe, eye via ŋutsuwo, Esau kple Yakob ɖii.
UIsaka wasehodoza, wafa, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo, emdala, enele ngensuku. Amadodana akhe uEsawu loJakobe asemngcwaba.
