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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
They travelled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
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.
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who 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.
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.
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.
Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
9 I puta mai ano te Atua ki a Hakopa i tona haerenga mai i Paranaarama, i manaaki hoki a ia.
God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and 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.
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.
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;
God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
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.
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.”
13 Na ka mawehe atu te Atua i a ia ki runga, i te wahi i korero ai ia ki a ia.
God went up from him in the place where he spoke with 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.
Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
15 A huaina iho e Hakopa te ingoa o te wahi i korero ai te Atua ki a ia, ko Peteere.
Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “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.
They travelled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labour.
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.
When she was in hard labour, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
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.
As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
19 Na ka mate a Rahera, ka tanumia ki te ara ki Eparata, koia nei a Peterehema.
Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called 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.
Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave 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.
Israel travelled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
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:
While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. 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 Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
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 Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
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 Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
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.
Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
28 A kotahi rau e waru tekau tau nga ra o Ihaka.
The days of Isaac were one 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.
Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
