Olubereberye 35
1 Katonda n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Golokoka oyambuke e Beseri, obeere eyo, ozimbire Katonda ekyoto, eyakulabikira bwe wadduka muganda wo Esawu.”
And God saith unto Jacob, 'Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.'
2 Awo Yakobo n’agamba ab’omu nnyumba ye ne bonna abaali naye nti, “Muggyeewo bakatonda abalala abali nammwe, mwetukuze mukyuse ebyambalo byammwe,
And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto 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 tulyoke twambuke tugende e Beseri ndyoke nzimbire Katonda ekyoto, Katonda eyanziramu mu nnaku ez’okunakuwala kwange, era abadde nange buli gye ŋŋenze.
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 distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'
4 Awo ne bawa Yakobo bakatonda abalala bonna be baalina, n’empeta ezaali ku matu gaabwe; Yakobo n’abiziika wansi w’omuvule ogwali okumpi ne Sekemu.”
And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;
5 Bwe baali batambula, entiisa ya Katonda n’egwa ku bibuga ebyali bibeetoolodde, ne batagoberera baana ba Yakobo.
and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
6 Yakobo n’ajja e Luzi, ye Beseri, ekiri mu nsi ya Kanani, ye n’abantu bonna abaali naye.
And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,
7 N’azimba eyo ekyoto, n’akituuma Erubeeseeri. Kubanga eyo Katonda gye yamweragira bwe yadduka muganda we.
and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
8 Debola omujjanjabi wa Lebbeeka n’afa n’aziikibwa wansi w’omuvule, wansi wa Beseri kyekyava kiyitibwa Alooninakusi.
And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name 'Oak of weeping.'
9 Yakobo bwe yava mu Padanalaamu Katonda n’amulabikira, n’amuwa omukisa.
And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;
10 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe Yakobo; tokyaddayo kuyitibwa Yakobo, erinnya lyo linaabanga Isirayiri.” Bwe kityo erinnya lye ne liba Isirayiri.
and God saith to him, 'Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name Israel.
11 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Ndi Katonda Ayinzabyonna: zaala oyale, eggwanga n’enkuyanja y’amawanga biriva mu ggwe, ne bakabaka balisibuka mu ggwe.
And God saith to him, 'I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;
12 Ensi gye nawa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ndigikuwa ggwe, era ndigiwa n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo.”
and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac — to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'
13 Awo Katonda n’alinnya okuva waali mu kifo we yayogerera naye.
And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.
14 Yakobo n’asimba empagi mu kifo Katonda mwe yayogerera naye, empagi ey’ejjinja; n’agiyiwako ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa, n’ayiwako n’amafuta.
And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;
15 Yakobo ekifo Katonda we yayogerera naye n’akiyita Beseri.
and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.
16 Bwe baava e Beseri, era nga bakyali walako okuva Efulasi, Laakeeri n’alumwa, n’alumwa ddala nnyo.
And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
17 Bwe yali ng’alumwa bw’atyo omuzaalisa n’amugamba nti, “Totya kubanga kaakano onoofuna omwana omulala owoobulenzi.”
and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, 'Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.'
18 Omwoyo bwe gwali gumuggwaamu ng’afa, n’amutuuma Benoni, naye kitaawe n’amuyita Benyamini.
And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
19 Awo Laakeeri n’afa n’aziikibwa ku kkubo erigenda Efulasi (ye Besirekemu).
and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,
20 Yakobo n’asimba empagi ku malaalo ge, y’empagi y’amalaalo ga Laakeeri, ekyaliwo n’okutuusa kaakano.
and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21 Isirayiri ne yeeyongera okutambula, n’akuba eweema ye, emabega w’omunaala gwa Ederi.
And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;
22 Isirayiri bwe yali ng’ali mu nsi omwo Lewubeeni n’agenda ne yeebaka ne Biira omuweereza wa kitaawe, Isirayiri n’akiwulira. Batabani ba Yakobo baali kkumi n’ababiri.
and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.
23 Batabani ba Leeya baali: Lewubeeni mutabani wa Yakobo omubereberye, ne Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali ne Zebbulooni.
And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.
26 Batabani ba Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya be ba: Gaadi ne Aseri. Bano be batabani ba Yakobo abaamuzaalirwa mu Padanalaamu.
And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
27 Awo Yakobo n’ajja eri kitaawe Isaaka e Mamule, oba Kiriyasaluba, ye Kebbulooni, Ibulayimu ne Isaaka mwe baatuulanga.
And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
28 Isaaka yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu kinaana.
And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,
29 Isaaka n’afa ng’akaddiye nnyo n’agenda abantu be gye bagenda, ng’amaze ennaku nnyingi, batabani be Esawu ne Yakobo ne bamuziika.
and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
