Genesis 35
1 Sinabi ng Diyos kay Jacob, “Humayo ka, pumunta ka sa Betel, at manatili roon. Gumawa ng altar doon sa Diyos, na nagpakita sa iyo nang ikaw ay tumakas mula kay Esau na iyong kapatid.”
About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
2 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang sambahayan at sa lahat ng kasama niya, “Ilayo ang mga dayuhang diyos na kapiling ninyo, linisin ang inyong mga sarili, at palitan ang inyong mga damit.
In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.
3 Pagkatapos umalis tayo at pumunta sa Betel. Magtatayo ako ng altar doon sa Diyos, na sumagot sa akin sa araw ng aking paghihinagpis, at naging kasama ko saan man ako pumaroon.”
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”
4 Kaya ibinigay nila kay Jacob ang lahat ng dayuhang mga diyos na nasa kanilang mga kamay at mga hikaw na nasa kanilang mga tainga. Inilibing ni Jacob ang mga ito sa ilalim ng puno ng kakayuhayng malapit sa Sequem.
Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.
5 Habang naglalakbay sila, ginawa ng Diyos na masindak ang mga siyudad na nakapaligid sa kanila, kaya hindi hinabol ng mga taong iyon ang mga anak ni Jacob.
And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.
6 Kaya dumatingsi Jacob sa Luz (iyon ay, Betel), na nasa lupain ng Canaan, siya at ang lahat ng mga taong kasama niya.
And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.
7 Siya ay gumawa ng altar doon at tinawag ang lugar na El Betel, dahil doon inihayag ng Diyos ng kanyang sarili sa kanya, nang tumatakas siya mula sa kanyang kapati.
And he built an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there, God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
8 Namatay si Debora, na tagapag-alaga ni Rebeka. Inilibing siya mula Betel sa ilalim ng kakayuhang puno, kaya tinawag itong Allon Bacuth.
About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’
9 Nang si Jacob ay dumating mula sa Paddan Aram, nagpakitaang muli ang Diyos sa kanya at pinagpala siya.
Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
10 Sinabi ng Diyos sa kaniya “Ang pangalan mo ay Jacob, ngunit ang iyong pangalan mo ay hindi na tatawaging Jacob. Ang pangalan mo ay magiging Israel.” Kaya tinawag ng Diyos ang kanyang pangalang Israel.
saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,
11 Sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya, “Ako ang Makapangyarihang Diyos. Maging mabunga ka at magpakarami. Isang bansa at samahan ng mga bansa ang manggagaling sa iyo, at mga hari ang magiging mga kaapu-apuhan mo.
and he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from your loins.
12 Ang lupaing ibinigay ko kina Abraham at Isaac, ibibigay ko sa iyo. Sa iyong mga kaapu-apuhang susunod sa iyo akin ding ibibigay ang lupain.”
And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”
13 Umalis ang Diyos paakyat mula sa kanya sa lugar kung saan nakipag-usap siya sa kanya.
And he withdrew from him.
14 Si Nagtayo si Jacob ng haligi sa lugar kung saan nangusap sa kanya ang Diyos, isang haliging bato. Nagbuhos siya ng handog na inumin at nagbuhos ng langis doon.
In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,
15 Pinangalanan ni Jacob ang lugar kung saan nangusap sa kanya ang Diyos, na Betel.
and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’
16 Naglakbay pa sila mula sa Betel. Habang may kalayuan pa sila mula Eprath, nakaramdam na si Raquel ng panganganak.
Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,
17 Nakaranas siya ng matinding hirap sa panganganak. Habang siya ay nasa pinakamatinding kahirapan sa panganganak, sinabi ng hilot sa kanya “Huwag kang matakot, dahil ngayon magkakaroon ka ng isa pang anak na lalaki.
because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”
18 Habang naghihingalo siya, kasabay ng kanyang huling hininga pinangalanan niya siyang Benoni, ngunit ang kaniyang ama ay tinawag siyang Benjamin.
Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.
19 Namatay si Raquel at inilibing sa daan papunta sa Eprat (iyon ay, Betlehem).
And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.
20 Nagtayo si Jacob ng isang haligi sa ibabaw ng kanyang libingan. Iyon ang palatandaan ng libingan ni Raquel hanggang sa araw na ito.
And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.
21 Si Israel ay naglakbay pa at itinayo ang kaniyang tolda sa ibayo ng Migdal Eder.
Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.
22 Habang nakatira si Israel pa sa lupaing iyon, sumiping si Reuben kay Bilha na ibang asawa kanyang ama, at narinig ito ni Israel. Ngayon si Jacob ay may labindalawang anak na lalaki.
And when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki kay Lea ay sina Reuben, panganay ni Jacob, at si Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isacar, at Zebulun.
The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki kay Raquel ay sina Jose at Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki kay Bilha, na babaeng lingkod ni Raquel, ay sina Dan at Neftali.
The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.
26 Ang mga anak na lalaki ni Zilpa, na babaeng lingkod ni Lea, ay sina Gad at Asher. Lahat ng mga ito ay mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob na ipinanganak sa kanya sa Paddan Aram.
The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Si Jacob ay pumunta kay Isaac, na kanyang ama, sa Mamre sa Kiriath Arba (pareho sa Hebron), kung saan nanirahan sina Abraham at Isaac.
And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 Nabuhay si Isaac sa loob ng isandaan at walumpung taon.
And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.
29 Inihinga ni Isaacs ang kanyang huli at siya ay namatay, at tinipon siya sa kanyang mga ninuno, isang matandang lalaking ganap ang mga araw. Inilibing siya ng kanyang mga anak na sina Esau at Jacob.
And being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
