Genesisy 35
1 Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Jakoba: Miaingà, miakara any Betela ianao ka monena any; ary manorena alitara any ho an’ Andriamanitra Izay niseho taminao, fony ianao nandositra ny tavan’ i Esao rahalahinao.
Then God told Jacob, “Get ready to go to Bethel and live there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were running away from your brother Esau.”
2 Dia hoy Jakoba tamin’ izay tao an-tranony mbamin’ izay rehetra nomba azy: Ario ireo andriamani-kafa, izay ao aminareo, dia madiova, sady ovay ny fitafianareo;
So Jacob told his family and everyone who was with him, “Get rid of the pagan idols you have with you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes.
3 ary andeha hiainga isika ka hiakatra any Betela; ary hanao alitara any aho ho an’ Andriamanitra, Izay nihaino ahy tamin’ ny andron’ ny fahoriako ary nomba ahy tamin’ ny lalana izay nalehako.
We have to get ready and go to Bethel so I can build an altar to God who answered me in my time of trouble. He has been with me wherever I went.”
4 Dia natolony teo amin’ i Jakoba ny andriamani-kafa rehetra izay notànany sy ny kavina izay teny an-tsofiny; ary dia nalevin’ i Jakoba tao am-pototry ny hazo terebinta izay tao akaikin’ i Sekema ireo.
They handed over to Jacob all the pagan idols they had, as well as their earrings, and he buried them under the oak tree at Shechem.
5 Dia lasa nandeha izy; ary nisy tahotra avy amin’ Andriamanitra nahazo ny tanàna manodidina azy, ka tsy nanenjika ny zanak’ i Jakoba izy.
As they left on their journey, the terror of God spread over all the surrounding towns, so nobody tried to retaliate against Jacob's sons.
6 Ary Jakoba dia tonga tany Lozy (Betela izany), izay any amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia izy sy ny olona rehetra izay nomba azy.
Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also known as Bethel) in the country of Canaan.
7 Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-betela no anaran’ izany tany izany; fa teo no nisehoan’ Andriamanitra taminy, fony izy nandositra ny tavan’ ny rahalahiny.
He built an altar there and called the place El-Bethel, because that was where God had appeared to him when he was running away from his brother Esau.
8 Ary maty Debora, mpitaiza an-dRebeka, ka naleviny tao am-pototr’ i Betela, teo ambanin’ ny hazo ôka; ary ny anaran’ io dia nataony hoe Alona-bakota.
Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the oak of weeping.”
9 Ary Andriamanitra niseho indray tamin’ i Jakoba, raha tonga avy tany Mesopotamia izy, ka nitahy azy.
God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram.
10 Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Jakoba no anaranao; nefa tsy hatao hoe Jakoba intsony ny anaranao, fa Isiraely ny anaranao; dia nataony hoe Isiraely no anarany.
God told him, “Jacob will not be your name any longer. Instead of Jacob your name will be Israel.” So God called him Israel.
11 Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Izaho no Andriamanitra Tsitoha; maroa fara sy mihabetsaha; firenena maro no hiseho avy aminao, ary hisy mpanjaka amin’ ny haterakao;
Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants.
12 ary ny tany izay nomeko an’ i Abrahama sy Isaka dia homeko anao; ary ny taranakao mandimby anao koa no homeko ny tany.
I will give to you and to your descendants the land I also gave to Abraham and Isaac.”
13 Ary Andriamanitra niakatra niala taminy, teo amin’ ilay niresahany taminy.
Then God left the place where he had been speaking to Jacob.
14 Ary Jakoba dia nanorina tsangam-bato teo amin’ ny fitoerana izay niresahany taminy ka nanidina fanatitra aidina teo aminy sady nampidina diloilo teo aminy koa.
Afterwards Jacob set up a stone pillar where God had spoken with him. He poured out a drink offering on it, and also olive oil.
15 Ary ny anaran’ ny tany izay niresahan’ Andriamanitra taminy dia nataon’ i Jakoba hoe Betela.
Jacob called the place Bethel, because he had spoken with God there.
16 Dia nifindra niala tany Betela izy; ary nony efa kely foana no sisa tsy nahatongavany tao Efrata, dia nihetsi-jaza Rahely sady sarotiny.
Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and had great difficulty giving birth.
17 Ary nony sarotiny toy izany izy, dia hoy ny mpampivelona taminy: Aza matahotra ianao; fa izato koa no zazalahy ho anao.
When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
18 Ary rehefa hiala aina (fa maty izy), dia nataony hoe Benony ny anarany; fa ny rainy kosa nanao azy hoe Benjamina.
But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin.
19 Dia maty Rahely ka nalevina teo amin’ ny lalana mankany Efrata (Betlehema izany).
Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem).
20 Ary Jakoba nanorina tsangam-bato teo ambonin’ ny fasany, dia ilay tsangam-bato ao amin’ ny fasan-dRahely mandraka androany.
Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day.
21 Dia lasa nifindra Isiraely ka nanorina ny lainy tao ankoatr’ i Migdaledera.
Israel moved on and camped beyond the watch tower at Eder.
22 Ary raha nonina teo amin’ izany tany izany Isiraely, dia avy Robena ka nandry tamin’ i Bila, vaditsindranon-drainy; ary nahare izany Isiraely.
During the time he was living there, Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel found out about it. These were the twelve sons of Jacob:
23 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Jakoba dia roa ambin’ ny folo mirahalahy: ny zanak’ i Lea dia Robena, lahimatoan’ i Jakoba, sy Simeona sy Levy sy Joda sy Isakara ary Zebolona;
The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 ny zana-dRahely kosa dia Josefa sy Benjamina;
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 ary ny zanak’ i Bila, ankizivavin-dRahely, kosa dia Dana sy Naftaly;
The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.
26 ary ny zanak’ i Zilpa, ankizivavin’ i Lea, kosa dia Gada sy Asera. Ireo no zanakalahin’ i Jakoba izay naterany tany Mesopotamia.
The sons of Leah's personal maid Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him while in Paddan-aram.
27 Ary Jakoba nankany amin’ Isaka rainy tany Mamre, any Kiriat-arba (Hebrona izany), izay nivahinian’ i Abrahama sy Isaka.
Jacob returned home to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
28 Ary ny andro niainan’ Isaka dia valo-polo amby zato taona.
Isaac lived to be 180
29 Dia niala aina Isaka ka maty, ary voangona any amin’ ny razany, rehefa tratrantitra sady ela niainana izy; ary dia nandevina azy Esao sy Jakoba zananilahy.
when he breathed his last and died at an old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
