Genesis 35
1 At sinabi ng Dios kay Jacob, Tumindig ka, umahon ka sa Bethel, at tumahan ka roon; at gumawa ka roon ng isang dambana sa Dios na napakita sa iyo nang ikaw ay tumatakas mula sa harap ng iyong kapatid na si Esau.
[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 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang sangbahayan, at sa lahat niyang kasama. Ihiwalay ninyo ang mga dios ng iba na nangasa inyo, at magpakalinis kayo, at magbago kayo ng inyong mga suot:
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 At tayo'y magsitindig at magsisampa tayo sa Bethel; at gagawa ako roon ng dambana sa Dios na sumagot sa akin sa araw ng aking kahapisan, at sumaakin sa daan na aking nilakaran.
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 At kanilang ibinigay kay Jacob ang lahat ng ibang pinaka dios na nasa kamay nila, at ang mga hikaw na nasa kanilang mga tainga; at itinago ni Jacob sa ilalim ng punong encina na malapit sa Sichem.
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 At sila'y naglakbay; at ang isang malaking sindak mula sa Dios ay sumabayan na nasa mga palibot nila, at hindi nila hinabol ang mga anak ni Jacob.
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 Sa gayo'y naparoon si Jacob sa Luz, na nasa lupain ng Canaan (na siyang Bethel), siya at ang buong bayang kasama niya.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
7 At siya'y nagtayo roon ng isang dambana at tinawag niya ang dakong yaon na El-beth-el; sapagka't ang Dios ay napakita sa kaniya roon, nang siya'y tumatakas sa harap ng kaniyang kapatid.
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 At namatay si Debora na yaya ni Rebeca, at nalibing sa paanan ng Bethel, sa ilalim ng encina, na ang pangalan ay tinawag na Allon-bacuth.
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 At ang Dios ay napakita uli kay Jacob, nang siya'y manggaling sa Padan-aram, at siya'y pinagpala.
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 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Dios, Ang pangalan mo'y Jacob; ang pangalan mo'y hindi na tatawagin pang Jacob kundi Israel ang itatawag sa iyo: at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalan na Israel.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
11 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Dios, Ako ang Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat; ikaw ay lumago at dumami ka; isang bansa at isang kapisanan ng mga bansa ang magmumula sa iyo, at mga hari ay lalabas sa iyong balakang;
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 At ang lupaing ibinigay ko kay Abraham at kay Isaac, ay ibibigay ko sa iyo, at sa iyong lahi pagkamatay mo ay ibibigay ko ang lupain.
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 At ang Dios ay napailanglang mula sa tabi niya sa dakong pinakipagusapan sa kaniya.
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
14 At si Jacob ay nagtayo ng isang batong pinakaalaala sa dakong pinakipagusapan sa kaniya ng Dios, haliging bato: at binuhusan niya ng isang inuming handog at binuhusan niya ng langis.
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 At tinawag ni Jacob na Bethel ang dakong pinakipagusapan sa kaniya ng Dios.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 At sila'y naglakbay mula sa Bethel; at may kalayuan pa upang dumating sa Ephrata: at nagdamdam si Raquel, at siya'y naghihirap sa panganganak.
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 At nangyari, nang siya'y naghihirap sa panganganak, na sinabi sa kaniya ng hilot, Huwag kang matakot, sapagka't magkakaroon ka ng isa pang anak na lalake.
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 At nangyari, nang nalalagot ang kaniyang hininga (sapagka't namatay siya), ay kaniyang pinanganlang Benoni: datapuwa't pinanganlan ng kaniyang ama na Benjamin.
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 At namatay si Raquel at inilibing sa daang patungo sa Ephrata (na siyang Bethlehem).
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
20 At nagtayo si Jacob ng isang batong pinakaalaala sa ibabaw ng kaniyang libingan: na siyang batong pinakaalaala ng libingan ni Raquel hanggang ngayon.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
21 At naglakbay si Israel at iniladlad ang kaniyang tolda sa dako pa roon ng moog ng Eder.
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 At nangyari, samantalang tumatahan si Israel sa lupaing yaon, na si Ruben ay yumaon at sumiping kay Bilha, na babae ng kaniyang ama; at ito'y nabalitaan ni Israel. Labing dalawa nga ang anak na lalake ni Jacob.
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 Ang mga anak ni Lea, ay: si Ruben, na panganay ni Jacob, at si Simeon, at si Levi, at si Juda at si Issachar, at si Zabulon.
The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
24 Ang mga anak ni Raquel, ay: si Jose at si Benjamin:
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 At ang mga anak ni Bilha, na alila ni Raquel, ay: si Dan at si Nephtali:
The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 At ang mga anak ni Zilpa na alilang babae ni Lea, ay: si Gad at si Aser: ito ang mga anak ni Jacob na ipinanganak sa kaniya sa Padan-aram.
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 At naparoon si Jacob kay Isaac na kaniyang ama, sa Mamre, sa Kiriat-arba (na siyang Hebron), na doon tumahan si Abraham at si Isaac.
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 At ang mga naging araw ni Isaac ay isang daan at walong pung taon.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
29 At nalagot ang hininga ni Isaac at namatay, at siya'y nalakip sa kaniyang bayan, matanda at puspos ng mga araw: at inilibing siya ng kaniyang mga anak na si Esau at si Jacob.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
