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.”

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 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.

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 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.”

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 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.

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 Ke Jacob ac wen natul nukewa mukuiyak in som, mwet nukewa su muta in siti srisrik ma apkuran elos arulana sangeng, ac tiana ukwalos.

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 Jacob el tuku wi mwet lal nukewa nu Luz, su pangpang Bethel in pacl inge, in acn Canaan.

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 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.

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 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.”

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 Ke pacl se Jacob el foloko liki acn Mesopotamia, God El sifilpa sikyang nu sel ac akinsewowoyal.

And God appears to Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesses 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 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 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 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 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.”

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 Na God El som lukel.

And God goes up from him, in the place where He has 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.

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 Ac el sang inen acn sac Bethel.

and Jacob calls the name of the place where God spoke 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.

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 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.”

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 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 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 Ke Rachel el misa, pukpuki el sisken inkanek nu Ephrath, su pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.

and Rachel dies, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Beth-Lehem,

20 Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se we, ac srakna akilenya kulyuk lal Rachel nwe misenge.

and Jacob sets up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21 Jacob el sifilpa mukuiyak fahsr nu meet, ac ke el alukela tower Eder el tulokunak iwen aktuktuk lal we.

And Israel journeys, and stretches out his tent beyond the Tower of Edar;

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.

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 Wen natul Leah pa Reuben (wen se omeet natul Jacob), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, ac Zebulun.

And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

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 Jacob el som nu yorol Isaac, papa tumal, in acn Mamre, apkuran nu Hebron, yen Abraham ac Isaac tuh muta we.

And Jacob comes to his father Isaac, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

28 Isaac el moul nwe ke el sun yac siofok oalngoul,

And the days of Isaac are one hundred and eighty years,

29 ac el misa ke el arulana matuoh. Ac Esau ac Jacob, wen luo natul, eltal piknilya.

and Isaac expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people, aged and satisfied with days; and his sons Esau and Jacob bury him.
