1 Katonda n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Golokoka oyambuke e Beseri, obeere eyo, ozimbire Katonda ekyoto, eyakulabikira bwe wadduka muganda wo Esawu.”
Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Kɔ Bet-El kɔtena hɔ. Sɛ woduru hɔ a, si afɔrebukyia ma me. Me na meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ wo ɛberɛ a na woredwane afiri wo nua Esau nkyɛn no.”
2 Awo Yakobo n’agamba ab’omu nnyumba ye ne bonna abaali naye nti, “Muggyeewo bakatonda abalala abali nammwe, mwetukuze mukyuse ebyambalo byammwe,
Enti, Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa sɛ, “Monsɛe mo anyame a mode wɔn firi amanɔne baeɛ no nyinaa. Monwira mo ho, na monsesa mo ntadeɛ nso.”
3 tulyoke twambuke tugende e Beseri ndyoke nzimbire Katonda ekyoto, Katonda eyanziramu mu nnaku ez’okunakuwala kwange, era abadde nange buli gye ŋŋenze.
Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Yɛrebɛtu ɛkwan akɔ Bet-El. Na sɛ yɛduru hɔ a, yɛbɛsi afɔrebukyia ama Onyankopɔn a ɔtiee me mpaeɛbɔ wɔ mʼamanehunu mu, na ɔkaa me ho wɔ mʼakwantuo mu no.”
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.”
Enti, wɔn nyinaa de wɔn ahoni ne nsonkawa maa Yakob. Yakob tuu fam wɔ odum bi ase wɔ Sekem, de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ hɔ.
5 Bwe baali batambula, entiisa ya Katonda n’egwa ku bibuga ebyali bibeetoolodde, ne batagoberera baana ba Yakobo.
Afei, wɔsiim. Wɔrekɔ no, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nkuro a wɔfaa so no nyinaa mu nnipa no hu a, ɛno enti obiara antumi anti wɔn.
6 Yakobo n’ajja e Luzi, ye Beseri, ekiri mu nsi ya Kanani, ye n’abantu bonna abaali naye.
Yakob ne ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no bɛduruu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no.
7 N’azimba eyo ekyoto, n’akituuma Erubeeseeri. Kubanga eyo Katonda gye yamweragira bwe yadduka muganda we.
Ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, too hɔ edin El-Bet-El, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a ɔredwane afiri ne nua Esau nkyɛn no, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no.
8 Debola omujjanjabi wa Lebbeeka n’afa n’aziikibwa wansi w’omuvule, wansi wa Beseri kyekyava kiyitibwa Alooninakusi.
Yei akyiri no, Debora a ɔyɛ Rebeka bagyegyefoɔ no wuiɛ, ma wɔsiee no wɔ odum bi a ɛwɔ Bet-El bɔn mu no ase. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin Alon-Bakut, a asekyerɛ ne Agyaadwotwa Dum.
9 Yakobo bwe yava mu Padanalaamu Katonda n’amulabikira, n’amuwa omukisa.
Yakob firi Paddan-Aram bɛduruu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn sane yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no.
10 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe Yakobo; tokyaddayo kuyitibwa Yakobo, erinnya lyo linaabanga Isirayiri.” Bwe kityo erinnya lye ne liba Isirayiri.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ wɔfrɛ wo Yakob deɛ, nanso ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel a asekyerɛ ne Onipa a ɔne Onyankopɔn adi asie. Enti Onyankopɔn too ne din sɛ, Israel.”
11 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Ndi Katonda Ayinzabyonna: zaala oyale, eggwanga n’enkuyanja y’amawanga biriva mu ggwe, ne bakabaka balisibuka mu ggwe.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Mene Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ no. Wʼase nnɔre, na wʼase mfɛe. Ɔman ne aman asafo bɛfiri wo mu aba. Saa ara na ahemfo nso bɛfiri wo mu aba.
12 Ensi gye nawa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ndigikuwa ggwe, era ndigiwa n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo.”
Mede asase a mede maa Abraham ne Isak no bɛma wo. Aane, mede saa asase korɔ yi ara bɛma wʼasefoɔ.”
13 Awo Katonda n’alinnya okuva waali mu kifo we yayogerera naye.
Yei akyiri no, Onyankopɔn firii beaeɛ a na ɔne Yakob rekasa hɔ no kɔɔ ɔsoro.
14 Yakobo n’asimba empagi mu kifo Katonda mwe yayogerera naye, empagi ey’ejjinja; n’agiyiwako ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa, n’ayiwako n’amafuta.
Afei, Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Ɔsane de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho.
15 Yakobo ekifo Katonda we yayogerera naye n’akiyita Beseri.
Yakob too beaeɛ a Onyankopɔn ne no kasaeɛ no Bet-El, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn fie.
16 Bwe baava e Beseri, era nga bakyali walako okuva Efulasi, Laakeeri n’alumwa, n’alumwa ddala nnyo.
Yakob ne ne fiefoɔ siim firii Bet-El, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Efrat. Wɔrekɔ no, awoɔ kaa Rahel wɔ akwantemfi.
17 Bwe yali ng’alumwa bw’atyo omuzaalisa n’amugamba nti, “Totya kubanga kaakano onoofuna omwana omulala owoobulenzi.”
Ɛberɛ a ɔreko awoɔ no, ɔbaa ɔwogyefoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.”
18 Omwoyo bwe gwali gumuggwaamu ng’afa, n’amutuuma Benoni, naye kitaawe n’amuyita Benyamini.
Nanso, Rahel koo awoɔ tɔeɛ. Na ɛberɛ a ne kra refiri ne mu na ɔreyɛ awuo no, ɔtoo ne babarima a wawo no no edin Ben-Oni, a asekyerɛ ne Mʼawerɛhoɔ Mu Ba. “Nanso, nʼagya sane too no edin Benyamin, a asekyerɛ ne Me dɔba.”
19 Awo Laakeeri n’afa n’aziikibwa ku kkubo erigenda Efulasi (ye Besirekemu).
Rahel wuiɛ, ma wɔsiee no wɔ Efrat a ɛno ara ne Betlehem no akwantemfi.
20 Yakobo n’asimba empagi ku malaalo ge, y’empagi y’amalaalo ga Laakeeri, ekyaliwo n’okutuusa kaakano.
Yakob yɛɛ nkaeɛdum sii Rahel ɛda no so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
21 Isirayiri ne yeeyongera okutambula, n’akuba eweema ye, emabega w’omunaala gwa Ederi.
Israel toaa nʼakwantuo no so, kɔsii ne ntomadan wɔ Edir abantenten no akyiri nohoa baabi.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Israel te saa asase no so no, ɔtee sɛ ne ba panin Ruben ne Bilha a ɔyɛ nʼagya afenaa a waware no no akɔda. Na Yakob wɔ mmammarima dumienu:
23 Batabani ba Leeya baali: Lewubeeni mutabani wa Yakobo omubereberye, ne Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali ne Zebbulooni.
Lea mma na wɔn din didi so yi: Ruben a ɔno ne Israel abakan, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar ne Sebulon.

Rahel afenaa Bilha mmammarima baanu no ne Dan ne Naftali
26 Batabani ba Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya be ba: Gaadi ne Aseri. Bano be batabani ba Yakobo abaamuzaalirwa mu Padanalaamu.
Lea afenaa Silpa nso mmammarima baanu no ne Gad ne Aser. Yeinom ne Yakob mmammarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Paddan-Aram no.
27 Awo Yakobo n’ajja eri kitaawe Isaaka e Mamule, oba Kiriyasaluba, ye Kebbulooni, Ibulayimu ne Isaaka mwe baatuulanga.
Akyire no, Yakob baa nʼagya Isak nkyɛn wɔ Mamrɛ wɔ Kiriat-Arba, a ɛno ara ne Hebron, baabi a Abraham ne Isak tenaa sɛ ahɔhoɔ no.
28 Isaaka yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu kinaana.
Isak dii mfeɛ ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe.
29 Isaaka n’afa ng’akaddiye nnyo n’agenda abantu be gye bagenda, ng’amaze ennaku nnyingi, batabani be Esawu ne Yakobo ne bamuziika.
Isak wuiɛ, ma wɔfaa no kɔkaa ne mpanimfoɔ ho; na wabɔ akɔkoraa posoposo. Ne mmammarima Esau ne Yakob na wɔsiee no.
