Kenehi 35
1 Na ka mea te atua ki a Hakopa, Whakatika, haere ake ki Peteere, ki reira noho ai; ka hanga hoki ki reira i tetahi aata ma te Atua i puta mai nei ki a koe, i tou rerenga mai i te aroaro o Ehau, o tou tuakana.
In the meantime God said to Jacob: Arise, and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau thy brother.
2 Katahi ka mea a Hakopa ki tona whare, ki ona tangata katoa hoki, Whakarerea atu nga atua ke i roto i a koutou, e pure i a koutou, a kakahuria etahi kakahu ke mo koutou:
And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed and change your garments.
3 A whakatika tatou, ka haere ake ki Peteere; a ka hanga e ahau ki reira tetahi aata ma te Atua i whakarongo mai nei ki ahau i te ra i pouri ai ahau, i tata ano hoki ki ahau i te huarahi i haere ai ahau.
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God: who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey.
4 Na ka homai e ratou ki a Hakopa nga atua ke katoa i roto i to ratou ringa, me nga whakakai i o ratou taringa; a ka huna e Hakopa ki raro i te oki i Hekeme.
So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.
5 Na ka turia atu e ratou: i runga ano te wehi o te Atua i nga pa i tetahi taha i tetahi taha o ratou, a kihai ratou i whai i nga tama a Hakopa.
And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away.
6 Heoi ka tae a Hakopa ki Rutu, ki tera hoki i te whenua o Kanaana, ara ki Peteere, a ia me tona nuinga katoa.
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.
7 A ka hanga e ia he aata ki reira, a huaina iho e ia taua wahi ko Erepeteere: no te mea hoki i puta mai te Atua ki a ia i reira, i tona rerenga i te aroaro o tona tuakana.
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
8 Na ka mate a Tepora kaiwhakangote o Ripeka, a ka tanumia ki raro i Peteere, ki raro i te oki; a ka huaina to reira ingoa ko Aronipakuta.
At the same time Debora the nurse of Rebecca died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel under an oak: and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.
9 I puta mai ano te Atua ki a Hakopa i tona haerenga mai i Paranaarama, i manaaki hoki a ia.
And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
10 A ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Ko Hakopa tou ingoa: e kore tou ingoa e huaina ko Hakopa a muri ake nei, engari ko Iharaira hei ingoa mou. Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Iharaira.
Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.
11 I mea ano te Atua ki a ia, Ko ahau te Atua Kaha Rawa: kia hua koe, kia tini; kia puta he iwi, he huinga iwi ano hoki i roto i a koe, kia puta ano hoki nga kingi i roto i tou hope;
And said to him: I am God Almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Ko te whenua hoki i hoatu e ahau ki a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka, ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe, ka hoatu ano hoki e ahau tena whenua ki ou uri i muri i a koe.
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
13 Na ka mawehe atu te Atua i a ia ki runga, i te wahi i korero ai ia ki a ia.
And he departed from him.
14 Na ka whakaturia e Hakopa he pou ki te wahi i korero ai ia ki a ia, he pou kohatu: a ka ringihia e ia he ringihanga ki runga, a i ringihia hoki e ia he hinu ki runga.
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:
15 A huaina iho e Hakopa te ingoa o te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia, ko Peteere.
And calling the name of that place Bethel.
16 Na ka hapainga atu e ratou i Peteere; a ka whano ka tae ratou ki Eparata: na ka whakawhanau a Rahera, ka whakauaua hoki tona whanautanga.
And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,
17 A, i te mea ka whakauaua tona whanautanga, ka mea te kaiwhakawhanau ki a ia, Kaua e wehi; ta te mea he tama ano tenei au.
By reason of her hard labour she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.
18 Na, i te mea ka haere tona wairua, i mate hoki ia, ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Penoni: na tona papa ia i hua ko Pineamine.
And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.
19 Na ka mate a Rahera, ka tanumia ki te ara ki Eparata, koia nei a Peterehema.
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.
20 A ka whakaturia e Hakopa he pou ki runga ki tona rua: ko te pou ia o te rua o Rahera a tae noa ki tenei ra.
And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel’s monument, to this day.
21 Na ka turia atu e Iharaira, a ka whakaarahia e ia tona teneti ki tua atu i te pourewa i Erara.
Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower.
22 A, i a Iharaira e noho ana i taua whenua, na ka haere a Reupena ka takoto ki a Piriha wahine iti a tona papa: a ka rongo a Iharaira. Na kotahi tekau ma rua nga tama a Hakopa:
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala, the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Ko nga tama a Rea; ko Reupena, ko te matamua a Hakopa, ko Himiona, ko Riwai, ko Hura, ko Ihakara, ko Hepurona:
The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon.
24 Ko nga tama a Rahera; ko Hohepa raua ko Pineamine:
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Ko nga tama a Piriha, pononga wahine a Rahera; ko Rana raua ko Napatari:
The sons of Bala, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Nephtali.
26 Ko nga tama a Tiripa, pononga wahine a Rea; ko Kara raua ko Ahera: ko nga tama enei a Hakopa i whanau nei mana ki Paranaarama.
The sons of Zelpha, Lia’s handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Na kua tae a Hakopa ki a Ihaka, ki tona papa, ki Mamere, ki te pa o Arapa, ara ki Heperona, ki te wahi hoki i noho ai a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka.
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 A kotahi rau e waru tekau tau nga ra o Ihaka.
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
29 Na ka hemo a Ihaka, ka mate, ka kohia atu ki tona iwi, he koroheke, kua maha hoki ona ra: a na ana tama, na Ehau raua ko Hakopa ia i tanu.
And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
