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.”
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 Ha biliri ije. Egwu Chineke dakwasịrị obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ọ dịghị ndị chụsoro ha.
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 Jekọb na ndị niile so ya rutere Luz, nke a na-akpọkwa Betel nke dị na Kenan.
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 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 revealed himself unto 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, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.
9 Chineke gosiri Jekọb onwe ya ọzọ, mgbe o sitere na Padan Aram pụta, gọziekwa ya.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in 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 no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So 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 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 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 gave to Abraham and to 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 at the place where he had 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 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 Jekọb kpọrọ ebe ahụ ya na Chineke nọ kparịtaa ụka Betel.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken 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.
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 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.”
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 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 when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.
19 Rechel nwụrụ, e lie ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ gara Efrat, nke a na-akpọkwa Betlehem.
So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
20 Jekọb wuru ogidi nʼelu ili ya, nke na-eguzokwa ruo taa, igosi ebe e liri Rechel.
And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.
21 Izrel malitere ije ya, tutu ruo ebe o wuru ebe izuike ya nʼala dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Migdal Eda.
Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from 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 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 Ụmụ Lịa bụ, Ruben, ọkpara Jekọb. Simiọn, Livayị, Juda, Isaka na Zebụlọn.
The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:
24 Ụmụ Rechel bụ, Josef na Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:
25 Ụmụ Bilha, odibo nwanyị Rechel bụ, Dan na Naftalị.
And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, 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 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 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.
Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.
28 Nʼoge ahụ Aịzik gbara narị afọ na iri afọ asatọ.
And the days of Isaac came to be—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 breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
