Jenesis 35
1 Chineke sịrị Jekọb, “Bilie, gaa Betel, birikwa nʼebe ahụ. Wuo ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye mere ka ị hụ ya mgbe ị na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne gị nwoke.”
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Ya mere, Jekọb gwara ndị ezinaụlọ ya na ndị niile so ya sị, “Wezuganụ chi ndị ala ọzọ dị nʼetiti unu. Doonụ onwe unu ọcha, gbanweekwanụ uwe unu.
And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
3 Bilienụ, ka anyị gaa Betel, ebe m ga-ewu ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye zara m oku nʼụbọchị nsogbu m, ma nọnyekwara m na njem nke m gara.”
and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.
4 Ya mere, ha nyere Jekọb chi ndị ala ọzọ niile ha ji nʼaka, na ọla niile dị ha na ntị. Jekọb chịịrị ha niile lie ha nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Shekem.
And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.
5 Ha biliri ije. Egwu Chineke dakwasịrị obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ọ dịghị ndị chụsoro ha.
And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 Jekọb na ndị niile so ya rutere Luz, nke a na-akpọkwa Betel nke dị na Kenan.
And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 Jekọb wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe a, kpọọ aha ebe ahụ El Betel, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Chineke gosiri ya onwe ya mgbe ọ na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne ya nwoke.
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Debọra, nwanyị lekọtara Ribeka mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, nwụrụ. E liri ya nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Betel. A kpọkwara ebe ahụ, “Osisi ook ebe ịkwa akwa.”
And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
9 Chineke gosiri Jekọb onwe ya ọzọ, mgbe o sitere na Padan Aram pụta, gọziekwa ya.
And God appeared to Jacob again after he had come from Padan-Aram, and blessed him.
10 Chineke sịrị ya, “Aha gị bụ Jekọb ma a gaghị akpọkwa gị Jekọb ọzọ, kama aha gị ga-abụ Izrel.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ ya Izrel.
And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.
11 Chineke sịrị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Mụọ ọmụmụ, baakwa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ. Otu mba na igwe mba ga-esi na gị pụta. Ndị eze ga-esitekwa gị nʼahụ pụta.
And God said to him, I am the Almighty God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Ala ahụ m nyere Ebraham na Aịzik ka m na-enyekwa gị. Aga m enyekwa ya ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị.”
And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
13 Emesịa, Chineke si nʼebe ahụ ha nọ kparịtaa ụka pụọ.
And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him.
14 Jekọb wuru ogidi nkume nʼebe ahụ Chineke nọ gwa ya okwu. Ọ wụsara onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ wụkwasịkwa mmanụ nʼelu ogidi nkume ahụ.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and poured on it a drink-offering, and poured oil on it.
15 Jekọb kpọrọ ebe ahụ ya na Chineke nọ kparịtaa ụka Betel.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el.
16 Ha biliri ije, site na Betel. Ma mgbe ha ka nọ ebe dị anya site nʼobodo Efrat, Rechel mụrụ nwa, ma o nwere ihe mgbu ka ọ na-amụ nwa.
And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed in childbirth; and it went hard with her in her childbearing.
17 Mgbe o sitere nʼoke ihe mgbu na-amụpụta nwa ahụ, nwanyị na-aghọ nwa gwara ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ọ bụ nwa nwoke ọzọ ka ị mụtara.”
And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.
18 Ma tupu Rechel ekuo ume ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ na-anwụ, ọ kpọrọ aha nwa ọhụrụ ahụ Ben-Oni, ma nna ya kpọrọ ya Benjamin.
And it came to pass as her soul was departing — for she died — that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.
19 Rechel nwụrụ, e lie ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ gara Efrat, nke a na-akpọkwa Betlehem.
And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.
20 Jekọb wuru ogidi nʼelu ili ya, nke na-eguzokwa ruo taa, igosi ebe e liri Rechel.
And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to [this] day.
21 Izrel malitere ije ya, tutu ruo ebe o wuru ebe izuike ya nʼala dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Migdal Eda.
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder.
22 Mgbe Izrel bi nʼala ahụ, Ruben gara dinakwuru Bilha, iko nwanyị nna ya. E mekwara ka Izrel nụ ihe a Ruben mere. Ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb dị iri na abụọ.
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 of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Ụmụ Lịa bụ, Ruben, ọkpara Jekọb. Simiọn, Livayị, Juda, Isaka na Zebụlọn.
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 maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre — to Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron; where Abraham had sojourned, and Isaac.
28 Nʼoge ahụ Aịzik gbara narị afọ na iri afọ asatọ.
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
29 Ọ dịkwaghị anya site nʼoge a, Aịzik nwụrụ, mgbe o mere nnọọ agadi. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ, Ịsọ na Jekọb, liri ya.
And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
