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.”
[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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 Kaya dumatingsi Jacob sa Luz (iyon ay, Betel), na nasa lupain ng Canaan, siya at ang lahat ng mga taong kasama niya.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
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.
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 Namatay si Debora, na tagapag-alaga ni Rebeka. Inilibing siya mula Betel sa ilalim ng kakayuhang puno, kaya tinawag itong 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 Nang si Jacob ay dumating mula sa Paddan Aram, nagpakitaang muli ang Diyos sa kanya at pinagpala siya.
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 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.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘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.
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 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.”
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 Umalis ang Diyos paakyat mula sa kanya sa lugar kung saan nakipag-usap siya sa kanya.
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left 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.
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 Pinangalanan ni Jacob ang lugar kung saan nangusap sa kanya ang Diyos, na Betel.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 Naglakbay pa sila mula sa Betel. Habang may kalayuan pa sila mula Eprath, nakaramdam na si Raquel ng 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 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.
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 Habang naghihingalo siya, kasabay ng kanyang huling hininga pinangalanan niya siyang Benoni, ngunit ang kaniyang ama ay tinawag siyang 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 Namatay si Raquel at inilibing sa daan papunta sa Eprat (iyon ay, Betlehem).
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] 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.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
21 Si Israel ay naglakbay pa at itinayo ang kaniyang tolda sa ibayo ng Migdal 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 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.
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 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 were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
24 Ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki kay Raquel ay sina Jose at Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel were 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 Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were 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 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 Si Jacob ay pumunta kay Isaac, na kanyang ama, sa Mamre sa Kiriath Arba (pareho sa Hebron), kung saan nanirahan sina Abraham at 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 Nabuhay si Isaac sa loob ng isandaan at walumpung taon.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
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.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
