Uumama 35

1 Waaqni Yaaqoobiin, “Kaʼiitii Beetʼeelitti ol baʼii achi jiraadhu; achittis Waaqa yeroo ati obboleessa kee Esaawun baqatetti sitti mulʼate sanaaf iddoo aarsaa tolchi” jedhe.

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

2 Yaaqoob warra mana isaa jiranii fi warra isa wajjin turan hundaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqota ormaa kanneen isin of biraa qabdan irraa fagaadhaa; of qulqulleessaa; uffata keessanis geeddaradhaa.

Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:

3 Kottaa kaanee Beetʼeelitti ol baanaa; anis achitti Waaqa gaafa rakkina kootii deebii naa kenne isa iddoo ani dhaqe hundumatti na wajjin ture sanaaf iddoo aarsaa nan tolcha.”

And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

4 Isaanis waaqota ormaa kanneen isaan of biraa qaban hundaa fi lootii gurra isaanii Yaaqoobitti kennan; Yaaqoobis fuudhee qilxuu Sheekemii jalatti awwaale.

Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.

5 Isaanis kaʼanii qajeelan; akka namni tokko iyyuu isaan duukaa hin buuneef naasisuun Waaqaa magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran irra buʼe.

So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.

6 Yaaqoobii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hundi gara Luuzi kan Beetʼeel jedhamtuu ishee biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti argamtu sanaa dhufan.

And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.

7 Innis achitti iddoo aarsaa tolchee sababii yeroo inni obboleessa isaa jalaa baqachaa turetti Waaqni achitti isatti of mulʼiseef iddoo sana El Beetʼeel jedhee waame.

And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

8 Debooraan guddiftuun Ribqaa duutee Beetʼeelii gaditti qilxuu jalatti awwaalamte. Maqaan isaas Aloonbaakut jedhame.

And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

9 Erga Yaaqoob kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitii deebiʼee booddee Waaqni ammas isatti mulʼatee isa eebbise.

Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

10 Waaqni, “Maqaan kee Yaaqoob; siʼachi garuu ati Yaaqoob hin jedhamtu; maqaan kee Israaʼel jedhama” jedheen. Maqaan isaas Israaʼel jedhame.

Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

11 Waaqni akkana isaan jedhe; “Ani Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu dha; hori; baayʼadhus. Sabnii fi waldaan sabootaa sirraa argamu; mootonnis mudhii kee keessaa baʼu.

And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

12 Ani biyya Abrahaamii fi Yisihaaqiif kenne siifis nan kenna; ani biyya kana sanyii kee warra si booddeetiifis nan kenna.”

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.

13 Waaqnis iddoo itti isa wajjin haasaʼaa ture sanatti isa dhiisee ol baʼe.

Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

14 Yaaqoob iddoo itti Waaqni isa wajjin dubbate sana utubaa dhagaa tokko dhaabee kennaa dhugaatii irratti dhangalaase; zayitiis irratti dhangalaase.

And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

15 Yaaqoobis iddoo itti Waaqni isa wajjin dubbate sana Beetʼeel jedhee moggaase.

And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

16 Isaanis Beetʼeelii kaʼanii adeemsa isaanii itti fufan. Akkuma isaan Efraataatti dhiʼaataniinis Raahel ciniinsuun qabamtee akka malee muddamte.

So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

17 Utuu isheen daʼuuf ciniinsuu jabaa keessa jirtuus deessiftuun, “Ati waan ilma biraa deessuuf hin sodaatin” jetteen.

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

18 Raahel garuu waan duʼuu geesseef utuma lubbuun ishee baʼaa jirtuu Ben-Oonii jettee ilma ishee moggaafte. Abbaan isaa garuu Beniyaam jedhee isa moggaase.

And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.

19 Akkasiin Raahel duutee karaa Efraataatti geessu irratti awwaalamte; Efraataan kun immoo Beetlihem.

So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

20 Yaaqoobis awwaala ishee irra soodduu dhaabe; soodduun sunis hamma harʼaattuu awwaala Raahel argisiisa.

And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.

21 Israaʼel ammas achii kaʼee Migdaal Eederiin gamatti dunkaana isaa dhaabbate.

And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.

22 Utuu Israaʼel biyya sana jiraatuu Ruubeen ol seenee saajjatoo abbaa isaa Bilihaa wajjin ciise; Israaʼelis waan kana dhagaʼe. Yaaqoob ilmaan kudha lama qaba ture; isaanis:

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

23 Ilmaan Liyaa: Ruubeen jechuunis ilma Yaaqoob isa hangafa, Simiʼoon, Lewwii, Yihuudaa, Yisaakorii fi Zebuuloon.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

24 Ilmaan Raahel: Yoosefii fi Beniyaam.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 Ilmaan Bilihaa jechuunis xomboree Raahel: Daanii fi Niftaalem.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

26 Ilmaan Zilfaa jechuunis xomboree Liyaa: Gaadii fi Aasheer. Isaan kunneen ilmaan Yaaqoob kanneen kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitti isaaf dhalatanii dha.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

27 Yaaqoobis gara abbaa isaa, gara Yisihaaq, gara magaalaa Mamree ishee Kiriyaati Arbaaq kan Kebroon jedhamtuu, iddoo Abrahaamii fi Yisihaaq alagoota taʼanii jiraachaa turan sanaa dhufe.

And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.

28 Yisihaaq waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettama jiraate.

And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.

29 Innis umurii quufee, dulloomee hafuura isaa kan dhumaa baafatee duʼe; gara saba isaattis dabalame. Ilmaan isaa Esaawuu fi Yaaqoobis isa awwaalan.

Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
