Jenesis 35

1 Anumzamo'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Ko'ma negafu Isonku'ma koro frenka nevanke'na kagrite efore hugami'noa kumate otinka anagamu Beteli vunka anante umani'nenka, anante Anumzamo'na ita tro hunanto.

[Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”

2 Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno naga'ane, Agranema nemaniza naga'mokizmia zamasmi'ne. Maka havi anumzantmina netreta, tamagu'a retro nehuta, agru kukena timia antaniho.

So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.

3 E'ina hutenketa anagamu Beteli vuta, antahima nenamino kna'zampinti'ma naza nehuno, hakare kazigama nevugeno nagranema nemania Anumzamofo Kresramanavu ita, e'i anante ome tro hugahue.

Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”

4 E'inage hige'za maka vahe'mo'za havi anumzazamine, zamegesafi renentaza rinine eri'za Jekopu eme amizageno erino Sekemu rankuma tava'onte oki zafa agafafi keri kafino asente'ne.

So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].

5 Hagi Jekopu'ma karanka naga'anema nevigeno'a Anumzamo'a Kenani kumapima nemaniza vahera zamazeri koro hige'za, mago'zana huozamante'naze.

As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.

6 Jekopu'ene vahe'ane ana maka vu'za Lusi uhanati'naze. Mago agi'a Beteligino ana mopa Kenani me'ne.

Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.

7 Jekopu'a havere ita tro hunteno agi'a El Betelie hu'ne. Na'ankure nefu Isonku koro'ma freno nevigeno, Anumzamo'a korapara anante fore humi'neane.

There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.

8 Anante mani'nageno Rebekana avate eri'za ara Debora'a frige'za oki zafa agafafi Betelia ohenkamu'a asente'naze. Nehu'za agi'a Alon Bakutie hu'za ante'naze. (Zamagra kefina, zavi zafe hu'naze.)

Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].

9 Hagi Padan-Aramuma atreno Jekopu'ma ete Kenani moparema egeno'a, Anumzamo'a mago'ene efore humino, asomu hunte'ne.

After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.

10 Anumzamo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Menina kagi'a Jekopu'e huno me'ne. Hianagi mago'enena Jekopu'e hu'za osugahazanki, Israeli'e huno kagi'a megahie. Israeli'e huno Anumzamo'a Jekopu agi'a antemi'ne.

God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.

11 Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra hihamu'ane Anumzane, mofavrea kasezmantege'za kokankoka mopafina fore huhakare hu'za rukazi hu'za rankumara ante'za nemaninage'za, mago'amo'za kini vahera efore hugahaze.

Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.

12 Abrahamune, Aisaki'gizni Nagra zanami'noa mopa kagrira kamigahue. Hagi henka ama ana mopa Nagra kagehe'i zamigahue.

The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”

13 Anage huteno Anumzamo'a Jekopu'enema keagama ha'a kumara atreno ete mareri'ne.

When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.

14 Jekopu'a ra have erino eme retru renenteno, ana haverera waini ti tagino ofa nehuno, oliv masave erino eme ragi'ne.

Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.

15 Ana nehuno Jekopu'a Anumzamo'enema keaga hu'nea kuma'mofo agi'a Betelie huno ante'ne.

Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.

16 Hagi anantetira Jekopu'a naga'ane Betelia atre'za, Efrata kumate vunaku nevazageno, kantega Resolina mofavre ante kna'amo'a egofta higeno tusi atagu hu'ne.

Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.

17 Hagi Resolina mofavre'za negegeno tusi atagu nehigeno anante mofavrema aza huno kase aminaku'ma avega huno mani'nea a'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, mago' ne'mofavre kasentananki korora osuo.

When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”

18 Resoli'a kasenteteno fri'za nehuno ana mofavre agi'a Ben-oni'e nasunku mofavre huno ante'ne. Hianagi Jekopu'a Benzameni'e nazantamaga mofavre huno agi'a ante'ne.

But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.

19 Resoli'a frige'za Efrata vu kamofo ankenare asente'naze, (mago agi'a Betlehemue.)

After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.

20 Jekopu'a ra have erino vuno Resolima asente'nea kerimofo agofetu ome retru re'ne, menina Resoli kerire retru re'nea havea amne me'ne.

Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.

21 Hagi anantetira Israeli'a (Jekopu'a) viazamo mani'ne'za afu kva nehaza noma Ederi kumate'ma me'neana agatereteno vuno ogantu'a seli nonku'mara omegino mani'ne.

Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].

22 Anampi umani'nageno Israelina (Jekopu'na) agonesa ne'amo Rubeni'a, nefana mago a'a, nenaro eri'za erinente'a a' Bilhama anteno mase'nea kea Israeli'a antahi'ne.

While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.

23 Hagi ama'i Jekopuna 12fu'a ne' mofavre'amofo zamagi'e. Lia'ma kasezmante'nea ne'mofavrea Rubeni'a Jekopuna zage'e, anantera Simioni'e, Levi'e, Juda'e, Isaka'e, Zebuluni'e.

The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.

24 Hagi Resoli'ma kasemante'nea ne'mofavrea Josefe'ene Benzamenike.

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Hagi Resoli eri'za a'mo Bilha'ma zanante'nea ne'mofavrea Dani'ene Naftalike.

The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26 Hagi Lia eri'za a'mo Zilpama kase zanante'nea ne'mofavrea Gati'ene Aselikie. Ana hu'neankino Jekopu'a Padan-Aram mani'neno zamazeri fore hu'ne.

The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.

27 Jekopu'a nefa hirega Mamre Kiriat-arba e'ne, e'i mago agi'e Hebronie, ana kumara nefa Abrahamu'ene Aisakike zoka umanina'a kumare.

Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.

28 Aisaki'a 180'a Zagegafu mani'ne.

Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.

29 Aisaki'a za'za kna maniteno ozafa reteno renteramino, vagare asimu anteteno frino agehe'zane agigomo'zama umani'nazarega vu'ne. Jekopuke, Isoke eri'ne ome asente'na'e.

He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
