1 Mose 35

1 Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Kɔ Bet-El kɔtena hɔ. Sɛ wudu hɔ a, si afɔremuka ma me. Me na miyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ wo bere a na woreguan afi wo nua Esau nkyɛn no.”

Then God sayde to Iaakob, Arise, goe vp to Beth-el and dwell there, and make there an altar vnto God, that appeared vnto thee, when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother.

2 Enti Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne fifo ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa se, “Monsɛe mo anyame a mode wɔn fi amannɔne bae no nyinaa. Munnwira mo ho, na monsesa mo ntade nso.”

Then saide Iaakob vnto his houshold and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and clense your selues, and change your garments:

3 Ɔtoaa so se, “Yɛrebetu kwan akɔ Bet-El. Na sɛ yedu hɔ a, yebesi afɔremuka ama Onyankopɔn a otiee me mpaebɔ wɔ mʼamanehunu mu, na ɔkaa me ho wɔ mʼakwantu mu no.”

For we will rise and goe vp to Beth-el, and I will make an altar there vnto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 Enti wɔn nyinaa de wɔn ahoni ne asokaa maa Yakob. Yakob tuu fam wɔ odum bi ase wɔ Sekem, de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ hɔ.

And they gaue vnto Iaakob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their earings which were in their eares, and Iaakob hidde them vnder an oke, which was by Shechem.

5 Na wosii mu. Wɔrekɔ no, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nkurow a wɔfaa so no nyinaa mu nnipa no hu a ɛno nti obiara antumi antaa wɔn.

Then they went on their iourney, and the feare of God was vpon the cities that were roud about them: so that they did not follow after the sonnes of Iaakob.

6 Yakob ne ne nkurɔfo a wɔka ne ho no beduu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no.

So came Iaakob to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan: (the same is Beth-el) hee and all the people that was with him.

7 Osii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, too hɔ din El-Bet-El, efisɛ ɛhɔ na bere a ɔreguan afi ne nua Esau nkyɛn no, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no.

And he built there an altar, and had called the place, The God of Beth-el, because that God appeared vnto him there, when he fled from his brother.

8 Eyi akyi no, Debora a ɔyɛ Rebeka bagyigyefo no wu ma wosiee no wɔ odum bi a ɛwɔ Bet-El bon mu no ase. Efi saa bere no, wɔtoo beae hɔ din Alon-Bakut, a ne nkyerɛase ne Agyaadwotwa Dum.

Then Deborah Rebekahs nourse dyed, and was buried beneath Beth-el vnder an oke: and he called the name of it Allon Bachuth.

9 Yakob fi Paddan-Aram beduu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn san yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no.

Againe God appeared vnto Iaakob, after he came out of Padan Aram, and blessed him.

10 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔfrɛ wo Yakob de, nanso efi nnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel a ne nkyerɛase ne Onipa a ɔne Onyankopɔn adi asi.” Enti Onyankopɔn too ne din se Israel.

Moreouer God said vnto him, Thy name is Iaakob: thy name shalbe no more called Iaakob, but Israel shalbe thy name: and hee called his name Israel.

11 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Mene Onyankopɔn tumfo no. Wʼase nnɔ, na wʼase mfɛe. Ɔman ne aman asafo befi wo mu aba. Saa ara na ahemfo nso befi wo mu aba.

Againe God said vnto him, I am God all sufficient. growe, and multiplie. a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring of thee, and Kings shall come out of thy loynes.

12 Mede asase a mede maa Abraham ne Isak no bɛma wo. Yiw, mede saa asase koro yi ara bɛma wʼasefo.”

Also I will giue the lande, which I gaue to Abraham and Izhak, vnto thee: and vnto thy seede after thee will I giue that land.

13 Na Onyankopɔn fii faako a na ɔne Yakob rekasa hɔ no kɔɔ ɔsoro.

So God ascended from him in the place where he had talked with him.

14 Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Ɔsan de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho.

And Iaakob set vp a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone, and powred drinke offring thereon: also hee powred oyle thereon.

15 Yakob too beae a Onyankopɔn ne no kasae no Bet-El, a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn fi.

And Iaakob called the name of the place, where God spake with him, Beth-el.

16 Yakob ne ne fifo sii mu fii Bet-El, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Efrat. Wɔrekɔ no, awo kaa Rahel wɔ akwantemfi.

Then they departed from Beth-el, and when there was about halfe a daies iourney of ground to come to Ephrath, Rahel trauailed, and in trauailing she was in perill.

17 Bere a ɔreko awo no, ɔbea ɔwogyefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.”

And whe she was in paines of her labour, the midwife saide vnto her, Feare not: for thou shalt haue this sonne also.

18 Nanso Rahel koo awo tɔe. Na bere a ne kra refi ne mu na ɔreyɛ awu no, ɔtoo ne babarima a wawo no no din Ben-Oni, a ne nkyerɛase ne Mʼawerɛhow Mu Ba. “Nanso nʼagya san too no din Benyamin a, ne nkyerɛase ne Me dɔba.”

Then as she was about to yeelde vp the Ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Beniamin.

19 Rahel wu ma wosiee no Efrat a ɛno ara ne Betlehem no akwantemfi.

Thus died Rahel, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

20 Yakob yɛɛ nkaedum sii Rahel da no so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.

And Iaakob set a pillar vpon her graue: This is the pillar of Rahels graue vnto this day.

21 Israel toaa nʼakwantu no so, kosii ne ntamadan wɔ Edir abantenten no akyi nohɔ baabi.

Then Israel went forwarde, and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.

22 Bere a Israel te saa asase no so no, ɔtee sɛ ne ba panyin Ruben ne Bilha a ɔyɛ nʼagya afenaa a waware no no akɔda. Na Yakob wɔ mmabarima dumien:

Now, when Israel dwelt in that land, Reuben went, and lay with Bilhah his fathers concubine, and it came to Israels eare. And Iaakob had twelue sonnes.

23 Lea mma na wɔn din didi so yi: Ruben a ɔno ne Israel abakan, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar ne Sebulon.

The sonnes of Leah: Reuben Iaakobs eldest sonne, and Simeon, and Leui, and Iudah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Rahel nso mmabarima baanu no ne Yosef ne Benyamin.

The sonnes of Rahel: Ioseph and Beniamin.

25 Rahel afenaa Bilha mmabarima baanu no ne Dan ne Naftali

And the sonnes of Bilhah Rahels maide: Dan and Naphtali.

26 Lea afenaa Silpa nso mmabarima baanu no ne Gad ne Aser. Eyinom ne Yakob mmabarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Paddan-Aram no.

And the sonnes of Zilpah Leahs maide: Gad and Asher. These are the sonnes of Iaakob, which were borne him in Padan Aram.

27 Akyiri yi no, Yakob baa nʼagya Isak nkyɛn wɔ Mamrɛ wɔ Kiriat-Arba, a ɛno ara ne Hebron, faako a Abraham ne Isak tenaa sɛ ahɔho no.

Then Iaakob came vnto Izhak his father to Mamre a citie of Arbah: this is Hebron, where Abraham and Izhak were strangers.

28 Isak dii mfe ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe.

And the daies of Izhak were an hundreth and fourescore yeeres.

29 Isak wu ma wɔfaa no kɔkaa ne mpanyimfo ho; na wabɔ akwakoraa posoposo. Ne mmabarima Esau ne Yakob na wosiee no.

And Izhak gaue vp the ghost and died, and was gathered vnto his people, being olde and full of daies: and his sonnes Esau and Iaakob buried him.
