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 says to Jacob, “Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to you in your fleeing from the face of your brother Esau.”
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 says to his household, and to all who [are] with him, “Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, 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 rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my tribulation, and is with me in the way that I have gone.”
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 give to Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hides them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;
5 Ha biliri ije. Egwu Chineke dakwasịrị obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ọ dịghị ndị chụsoro ha.
and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] around them, and they have not pursued 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 comes to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] 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 builds there an altar, and proclaims at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed to him, in his fleeing 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, Rebekah’s nurse, dies, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calls its name “Oak of Weeping.”
9 Chineke gosiri Jekọb onwe ya ọzọ, mgbe o sitere na Padan Aram pụta, gọziekwa ya.
And God appears to Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesses 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 says to him, “Your name [is] Jacob: your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel is your name”; and He calls 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 says to him, “I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from you, and kings from your loins go out;
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 which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac—to you I give it, indeed to your seed after you I give the land.”
13 Emesịa, Chineke si nʼebe ahụ ha nọ kparịtaa ụka pụọ.
And God goes up from him, in the place where He has spoken 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 sets up a standing pillar in the place where He has spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he pours on it an oblation, and he pours on it oil;
15 Jekọb kpọrọ ebe ahụ ya na Chineke nọ kparịtaa ụka Betel.
and Jacob calls the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
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 journey from Bethel, and there is yet a distance of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel bears, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
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 comes to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife says to her, “Do not fear, for this also [is] a son for you.”
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 comes to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calls his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
19 Rechel nwụrụ, e lie ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ gara Efrat, nke a na-akpọkwa Betlehem.
and Rachel dies, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Beth-Lehem,
20 Jekọb wuru ogidi nʼelu ili ya, nke na-eguzokwa ruo taa, igosi ebe e liri Rechel.
and Jacob sets up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing 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 journeys, and stretches out his tent beyond the Tower of Edar;
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 comes to pass in Israel’s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goes, and lies with his father’s concubine Bilhah; and Israel hears.
23 Ụmụ Lịa bụ, Ruben, ọkpara Jekọb. Simiọn, Livayị, Juda, Isaka na Zebụlọn.
And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Ụmụ Rechel bụ, Josef na Benjamin.
Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

And sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.
26 Ụmụ Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa bụ, Gad na Asha. Ụmụ ndị ikom ndị a ka a mụụrụ Jekọb na Padan Aram.
And sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
27 Nʼikpeazụ, Jekọb bịakwutere nna ya Aịzik na Mamre nke dị nso na Kiriat Arba (ebe a na-akpọ Hebrọn). Ebe ahụ ka Ebraham na Aịzik biri na mbụ.
And Jacob comes to his father Isaac, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
28 Nʼoge ahụ Aịzik gbara narị afọ na iri afọ asatọ.
And the days of Isaac are one 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 expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people, aged and satisfied with days; and his sons Esau and Jacob bury him.
