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.
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your brother.”
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 his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
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.”
Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Isaanis waaqota ormaa kanneen isaan of biraa qaban hundaa fi lootii gurra isaanii Yaaqoobitti kennan; Yaaqoobis fuudhee qilxuu Sheekemii jalatti awwaale.
So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
5 Isaanis kaʼanii qajeelan; akka namni tokko iyyuu isaan duukaa hin buuneef naasisuun Waaqaa magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiran irra buʼe.
As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6 Yaaqoobii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hundi gara Luuzi kan Beetʼeel jedhamtuu ishee biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti argamtu sanaa dhufan.
So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
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.
He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from his brother.
8 Debooraan guddiftuun Ribqaa duutee Beetʼeelii gaditti qilxuu jalatti awwaalamte. Maqaan isaas Aloonbaakut jedhame.
Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
9 Erga Yaaqoob kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitii deebiʼee booddee Waaqni ammas isatti mulʼatee isa eebbise.
When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
10 Waaqni, “Maqaan kee Yaaqoob; siʼachi garuu ati Yaaqoob hin jedhamtu; maqaan kee Israaʼel jedhama” jedheen. Maqaan isaas Israaʼel jedhame.
God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God called his name 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.
God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.
12 Ani biyya Abrahaamii fi Yisihaaqiif kenne siifis nan kenna; ani biyya kana sanyii kee warra si booddeetiifis nan kenna.”
The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”
13 Waaqnis iddoo itti isa wajjin haasaʼaa ture sanatti isa dhiisee ol baʼe.
God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
14 Yaaqoob iddoo itti Waaqni isa wajjin dubbate sana utubaa dhagaa tokko dhaabee kennaa dhugaatii irratti dhangalaase; zayitiis irratti dhangalaase.
Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.
15 Yaaqoobis iddoo itti Waaqni isa wajjin dubbate sana Beetʼeel jedhee moggaase.
Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
16 Isaanis Beetʼeelii kaʼanii adeemsa isaanii itti fufan. Akkuma isaan Efraataatti dhiʼaataniinis Raahel ciniinsuun qabamtee akka malee muddamte.
They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
17 Utuu isheen daʼuuf ciniinsuu jabaa keessa jirtuus deessiftuun, “Ati waan ilma biraa deessuuf hin sodaatin” jetteen.
While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, 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.
As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
19 Akkasiin Raahel duutee karaa Efraataatti geessu irratti awwaalamte; Efraataan kun immoo Beetlihem.
Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 Yaaqoobis awwaala ishee irra soodduu dhaabe; soodduun sunis hamma harʼaattuu awwaala Raahel argisiisa.
Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.
21 Israaʼel ammas achii kaʼee Migdaal Eederiin gamatti dunkaana isaa dhaabbate.
Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower 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:
While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.
23 Ilmaan Liyaa: Ruubeen jechuunis ilma Yaaqoob isa hangafa, Simiʼoon, Lewwii, Yihuudaa, Yisaakorii fi Zebuuloon.
His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Ilmaan Raahel: Yoosefii fi Beniyaam.
His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Ilmaan Bilihaa jechuunis xomboree Raahel: Daanii fi Niftaalem.
His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were 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 female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him 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.
Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
28 Yisihaaq waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettama jiraate.
Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
29 Innis umurii quufee, dulloomee hafuura isaa kan dhumaa baafatee duʼe; gara saba isaattis dabalame. Ilmaan isaa Esaawuu fi Yaaqoobis isa awwaalan.
Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
