Genesis 35
1 God El fahk nu sel Jacob, “Som nu Bethel ingena ac muta we. Musaela sie loang ah luk we, nga God se su tuh sikwot nu sum pacl se kom tuh kaing lukel Esau, tamulel lom.”
Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
2 Ouinge Jacob el fahk nu sin sou lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul, “Sisla god saya ma oan yuruwos an. Aknasnasyekowosla, ac nokomang nuknuk nasnas tuh kowos in nasnas ye mutun God.
So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
3 Kut ac som liki acn se inge nu Bethel, yen su nga ac fah musaela sie loang nu sin God se su tuh kasreyu in pacl in ongoiya nu sik, ac su nuna wiyu na yen nukewa nga fahsr nu we.”
Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Ouinge elos sang nu sel Jacob god sac nukewa ma oasr yorolos, ac oayapa yaring ma elos orekmakin. El pikinya ma inge ye sak oak soko apkuran nu Shechem.
So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.
5 Ke Jacob ac wen natul nukewa mukuiyak in som, mwet nukewa su muta in siti srisrik ma apkuran elos arulana sangeng, ac tiana ukwalos.
As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6 Jacob el tuku wi mwet lal nukewa nu Luz, su pangpang Bethel in pacl inge, in acn Canaan.
So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
7 El etoak loang se we ac sang Inen God lun Bethel nu kac, mweyen God El tuh sifacna sikyang nu sel we ke pacl se el tuh kaingkin tamulel lal ah.
There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
8 Deborah, mutan tutaf lal Rebecca, el misa ac pukpuki ye sak oak soko layen eir in acn Bethel. Ouinge acn sac pangpang “Sak Oak in Tung.”
Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.
9 Ke pacl se Jacob el foloko liki acn Mesopotamia, God El sifilpa sikyang nu sel ac akinsewowoyal.
After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
10 God El fahk nu sel, “Inem pa Jacob, tusruktu ingela inem ac fah pangpang Israel.” Ouinge God El sang inel Israel.
And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.
11 Ac God El fahk nu sel, “Nga God Kulana. Lela tuh in oasr tulik puspis nutum. Mutunfacl puspis ac fah tuku ke fwilin tulik nutum, ac kom ac fah papa tumun tokosra puspis.
And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
12 Nga ac sot nu sum acn ma nga tuh sang nu sel Abraham ac nu sel Isaac, ac nga fah oayapa sang nu sin fwilin tulik nutum tok.”
The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
13 Na God El som lukel.
Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.
14 Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se in acn se ma God El kaskas nu sel we inge, ac akmutalyela ke el ukuiya wain ac oil in olive nu fac.
So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
15 Ac el sang inen acn sac Bethel.
Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
16 Jacob ac sou lal som liki acn Bethel, ac ke elos srakna loes liki acn Ephrath, na sun pacl in isus lal Rachel, ac arulana upa nu sel in isus.
Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
17 Ke pacl se ma upala na pwaye ngal in isus lal, mutan akisus lal el akkeyal ac fahk, “Rachel, akkeye kom. Tulik mukul se pac pa inge.”
During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”
18 Tusruktu Rachel el munaslana in misa, ac ke el apkuran in fuhlakinla mong safla lal, el sang inen tulik se natul uh Benoni, a papa tumun tulik sac sang inel Benjamin.
And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
19 Ke Rachel el misa, pukpuki el sisken inkanek nu Ephrath, su pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.
So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se we, ac srakna akilenya kulyuk lal Rachel nwe misenge.
Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.
21 Jacob el sifilpa mukuiyak fahsr nu meet, ac ke el alukela tower Eder el tulokunak iwen aktuktuk lal we.
Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
22 Ke Jacob el muta in acn sac, Reuben el ona yorol Bilhah, sie sin mutan kulansap kien papa tumal. Ke Jacob el lohngak el arulana foloyak. Oasr wen singoul luo natul Jacob.
While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
23 Wen natul Leah pa Reuben (wen se omeet natul Jacob), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, ac Zebulun.
The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Wen natul Rachel pa Joseph ac Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Wen natul Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal Rachel, pa Dan ac Naphtali.
The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 Wen natul Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal Leah, pa Gad ac Asher. Mukul natul Jacob inge nukewa isusla Mesopotamia.
And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
27 Jacob el som nu yorol Isaac, papa tumal, in acn Mamre, apkuran nu Hebron, yen Abraham ac Isaac tuh muta we.
Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
28 Isaac el moul nwe ke el sun yac siofok oalngoul,
And Isaac lived 180 years.
29 ac el misa ke el arulana matuoh. Ac Esau ac Jacob, wen luo natul, eltal piknilya.
Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
