Kĩambĩrĩria 35
1 Thuutha wa ũguo Ngai akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ Betheli ũgatũũre kuo, na wakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, o we ũrĩa wakuumĩrĩire rĩrĩa woragĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Esaũ.”
Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, —and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu akĩĩra andũ a nyũmba yake, na arĩa othe maarĩ nao, atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ngai cia mĩhianano iria mũrĩ nacio, na mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene, na mwĩkĩre nguo ingĩ.
And Jacob said unto his house, and unto all who were with him, —Put away the gods of the alien which are in your midst, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;
3 Mũcooke mũũkĩre, mũreke tũthiĩ twambate Betheli, ngaakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, ũrĩa wanjĩtĩkire mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, na ũrĩa ũkoretwo na niĩ kũrĩa guothe ndanathiĩ.”
And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, —that I may make there an altar to the GOD who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩnengera Jakubu ngai cia mĩhianano iria maarĩ nacio, na irengeeri iria ciarĩ matũ mao, nake Jakubu agĩcithika gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi kũu Shekemu.
So they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the alien which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears, —and Jacob hid them under the oak, which was by Shechem.
5 Nao makiumagara, magĩĩthiĩra, namo matũũra marĩa maamathiũrũrũkĩirie makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya wa Ngai, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamaingatithirie.
And they brake up, —and it came to pass that the terror of God, was on the cities which were round about them, so that they pursued not after the sons of Jacob.
6 Jakubu na andũ arĩa othe aarĩ nao magĩkinya Luzu (na nĩkuo Betheli), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
And Jacob came in towards Luz, which was in the land of Canaan, the same, is Beth-el, —he and all the people who were with him.
7 Agĩaka kĩgongona kũu, na agĩĩta handũ hau Eli-Betheli, tondũ hau nĩho Ngai aamwĩguũrĩirie rĩrĩa ooragĩra mũrũ wa nyina.
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-el, —because, there, God revealed himself unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother,
8 Nake Debora mũreri wa Rebeka agĩkua na agĩthikwo gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi mũhuro wa Betheli. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Aloni-Bakuthu.
And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.
9 Thuutha wa Jakubu gũcooka kuuma Padani-Aramu, Ngai akĩmuumĩrĩra rĩngĩ na akĩmũrathima.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-aram, —and blessed him.
10 Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Jakubu, no ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Jakubu rĩngĩ; ũrĩĩtagwo Isiraeli.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩta Isiraeli.
And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, —Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So he called his name, Israel.
11 Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; ciaranai na mũingĩhe. Rũrĩrĩ na gĩkundi kĩa ndũrĩrĩ nĩikoima harĩwe, na athamaki nĩmakoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ waku.
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, from thy loins, shall come forth;
12 Bũrũri ũrĩa niĩ ndaheire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o nawe nĩngakũhe guo, na nĩngaheana bũrũri ũyũ kũrĩ njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku.”
And, the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, To thee, will I give it, —And to thy seed after thee, will I give the land.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩambata akĩmweherera kuuma handũ hau aamwaragĩria.
And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.
14 Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ kĩa ihiga handũ hau Ngai aarĩtie nake, agĩgĩitĩrĩria ndibei; agĩcooka agĩgĩitĩrĩria maguta.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, —and he poured out thereon a drink-offering, and poured thereon oil.
15 Jakubu agĩĩta handũ hau Ngai aamwarĩirie Betheli.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.
16 Thuutha ũcio Jakubu na andũ ake makiuma Betheli magĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo. Na matigairie hanini makinye Efiratha-rĩ, Rakeli akĩambĩrĩria kũrũmwo na agĩkorwo arĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno.
Then brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.
17 Na tondũ aarĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno wa gũciara, mũmũciarithia akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, tondũ ũrĩ na kahĩĩ kangĩ.”
So it came to pass when she was in hard-labour in her child-birth, that the midwife said to her—Do not fear, for this also of thine, is, a son.
18 Na atanatuĩkana, tondũ nĩ gũkua aakuaga, agĩtua kahĩĩ kau Beni-Oni. No ithe agĩgatua Benjamini.
And it came to pass when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rakeli agĩkua na agĩthikwo mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Efiratha (na nokuo Bethilehemu.)
So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
20 Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ igũrũ rĩa mbĩrĩra yake, na nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ gĩtugĩ kĩu nĩkĩo kĩonanagia mbĩrĩra ya Rakeli.
And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.
21 Isiraeli agĩthiĩ o na mbere na rũgendo na akĩamba hema yake mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Migidali-Ederi.
Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from Migdal Eder.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli aatũũraga bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, Rubeni agĩthiĩ, agĩkoma na Biliha, thuriya ya ithe, nake Isiraeli akĩigua ũhoro ũcio. Jakubu aarĩ na ariũ ikũmi na eerĩ:
And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.
23 Ariũ a Lea maarĩ: Rubeni irigithathi rĩa Jakubu, na Simeoni, na Lawi, na Juda, na Isakaru, na Zebuluni.
The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:
24 Ariũ a Rakeli maarĩ: Jusufu na Benjamini.
The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:
25 Ariũ a Biliha ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Rakeli maarĩ: Dani na Nafitali.
And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, Dan, and Naphtali:
26 Ariũ a Zilipa ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Lea maarĩ: Gadi na Asheri. Acio nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Jakubu, arĩa aaciarĩirwo arĩ kũu Padani-Aramu.
And the sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him, in Padan-aram.
27 Na Jakubu agĩkinya mũciĩ kũrĩ ithe Isaaka kũu Mamure, hakuhĩ na Kiriathu-Ariba (nĩkuo Hebironi), kũrĩa Iburahĩmu na Isaaka maatũũrĩte.
Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.
28 Isaaka aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩnana.
And the days of Isaac came to be—a hundred and eighty years.
29 Agĩcooka agĩtuĩkana agĩkua na agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte, arĩ mũkũrũ na arĩ na mĩaka mĩingĩ. Nao ariũ ake Esaũ na Jakubu makĩmũthika.
And Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
