Bilowgii 35
1 Oo Ilaah wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Kac oo xagga Beytel tag, oo halkaas deg; oo meel allabari halkaas uga samee Ilaahii kuu muuqday markii aad walaalkaa Ceesaw ka cararaysay.
[Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
2 Markaasaa Yacquub ku yidhi dadkii gurigiisa iyo intii isaga la jirtay oo dhan, Iska fogeeya ilaahyada qalaad oo idinku dhex jira, oo isdaahirsha, oo dharkiinnana beddesha,
So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
3 oo ina kiciya, aynu Beytel tagnee, oo anna halkaas meel allabari baan uga samayn doonaa Ilaahii ii jawaabay maalintii aan dhibtoonayay oo ila jiray jidkii aan maray.
Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Markaasay Yacquub wada siiyeen ilaahyadii qalaad oo gacantooda ku jiray, iyo hilqadihii dhegahooda ku jiray, Yacquubna wuxuu ku qariyey geed Shekem ku ag yiil hoostiisa.
So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
5 Wayna sodcaaleen, magaalooyinkii ku wareegsanaa oo dhanna cabsi weyn baa ku dhacday, mana ay ka daba tegin reer Yacquub.
As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
6 Yacquubna wuxuu yimid Luus oo ku taal dalka Kancaan (taasuna waa Beytel), isagii iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhanba.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
7 Markaasuu halkaas ka dhisay meel allabari, wuxuuna meeshii u bixiyey Elbeytel, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa halkaas ugu muuqday isaga, markuu ka cararay walaalkiis.
There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
8 Markaasaa Debooraah oo Rebeqah midiidinteedii ahayd dhimatay, waxaana lagu aasay Beytel geedka hoostiisa; meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo bixiyey Alloon Bakuud.
Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
9 Markaasaa Ilaah mar kale Yacquub u muuqday, markii uu ka yimid Fadan Araam, wuuna barakeeyey.
After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
10 Oo waxaa Ilaah ku yidhi, Magacaagu waa Yacquub. Hadda ka dib magacaaga lama odhan doono Yacquub, laakiinse magacaagu wuxuu ahaan doonaa Israa'iil. Magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Israa'iil.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
11 Markaasaa Ilaah ku yidhi isaga, Waxaan ahay Ilaaha Qaadirka ah. Wax badan dhal oo taran; quruun iyo quruumo badan ayaa kaa iman doona, waxaa kaa soo bixi doona boqorro;
Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
12 oo dhulkii aan siiyey Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq, adigaan ku siin doonaa, adiga dabadaana farcankaagaan siin doonaa dhulka.
The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
13 Ilaahna kor buu uga tegey isagii iyo meeshii uu kula hadlayba.
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
14 Yacquubna meeshii uu kula hadlay isaga wuxuu ka taagay tiir, kaas oo ahaa tiir dhagax ah; wuxuuna ku dul shubay qurbaan cabniin ah, saliidna wuu ku dul shubay.
Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
15 Yacquubna meeshii Ilaah kula hadlay isaga magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey Beytel.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 Wayna ka sodcaaleen Beytel; oo intaanay Efrad weli soo gaadhin ayaa Raaxeel foolatay, fooshiina way ku rafaadday.
Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
17 Oo markay fooshii ku rafaadaysay umulisadii baa ku tidhi, Ha cabsan; waayo, haatan waxaad dhalaysaa wiil kale.
When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
18 Oo waxay noqotay in, markii ay naftu ka sii baxaysay, ay magiciisii u bixisay Benooni, waayo, way dhimatay, laakiinse aabbihiis wuxuu u bixiyey Benyaamiin.
But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
19 Raaxeelna way dhimatay, waxaana lagu aasay jidka loo maro Efrad, taasuna waa Beytlaxam.
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
20 Yacquubna tiir buu ka taagay qabrigeedii; waana isla tiirka ka taagan qabrigii Raaxeel ilaa maanta.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
21 Israa'iilna waa sodcaalay, oo wuxuu teendhadiisii ka dhistay munaaraddii Ceeder shishadeeda.
Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
22 Oo waxay noqotay, intuu Israa'iil dhulkaas degganaa, in Ruubeen u tegey oo la jiifsaday addoontii aabbihiis oo Bilhah ahayd; Israa'iilna taas wuu maqlay. Wiilashii Yacquubna laba iyo toban bay ahayeen.
While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
23 Wiilashii Lee'ah waxay ahaayeen Ruubeen oo ahaa curadkii Yacquub, iyo Simecoon, iyo Laawi, iyo Yahuudah, iyo Isaakaar, iyo Sebulun.
The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
24 Wiilashii Raaxeelna waxay ahaayeen Yuusuf iyo Benyaamiin.
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Addoontii Raaxeel oo Bilhah ahayd wiilasheediina waxay ahaayeen Daan iyo Naftaali.
The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 Addoontii Lee'ah oo Silfah ahayd wiilasheediina waxay ahaayeen Gaad iyo Aasheer. Kuwanu waa wiilashii Yacquub oo isaga ugu dhashay Fadan Araam.
The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
27 Markaasaa Yacquub aabbihiis Isxaaq ugu yimid Mamre, iyo xagga Qiryad Arbac, taasuna waa Xebroon, oo ahayd meeshii Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq qariib ahaanta u degganaan jireen.
Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
28 Isxaaq cimrigiisuna wuxuu ahaa boqol iyo siddeetan sannadood.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
29 Isxaaqna wuu naf baxay, wuuna dhintay, oo wuxuu ku darmaday dadkiisii, isagoo duq ah oo cimri weyn; markaasay wiilashiisii Ceesaw iyo Yacquub isagii aaseen.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
