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.”
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
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.
Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are amongst 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.”
Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
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.
They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was 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.
They travelled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
