< 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 said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, —and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of 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.”
And Jacob said unto his house, and unto all who were with him, —Put away the gods of the alien which are in your midst, and purify yourselves, 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.”
And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, —that I may make there an altar to the GOD who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that 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.
So they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the alien which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears, —and Jacob hid them under the oak, 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.
And they brake up, —and it came to pass that the terror of God, was on the cities which were round about them, so that they pursued not after the sons of Jacob.
6 Yakob ne ne nkurɔfo a wɔka ne ho no beduu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no.
And Jacob came in towards Luz, which was in the land of Canaan, the same, is Beth-el, —he and all the people who were 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 called the place El-Beth-el, —because, there, God revealed himself unto him, when he fled from the face of 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.
And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.
9 Yakob fi Paddan-Aram beduu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn san yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from 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.
And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, —Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So he 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.
And God said to him—I, am GOD Almighty! Be fruitful and multiply, A nation, and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, —And, kings, from thy loins, shall come forth;
12 Mede asase a mede maa Abraham ne Isak no bɛma wo. Yiw, mede saa asase koro yi ara bɛma wʼasefo.”
And, the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, To thee, will I give it, —And to thy seed after thee, will I give the land.
13 Na Onyankopɔn fii faako a na ɔne Yakob rekasa hɔ no kɔɔ ɔsoro.
And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.
14 Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Ɔsan de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, —and he poured out thereon a drink-offering, and poured thereon oil.
15 Yakob too beae a Onyankopɔn ne no kasae no Bet-El, a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn fi.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken 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 brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.
17 Bere a ɔreko awo no, ɔbea ɔwogyefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.”
So it came to pass when she was in hard-labour in her child-birth, that the midwife said to her—Do not fear, for this also of thine, is, a son.
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.”
And it came to pass when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.
19 Rahel wu ma wosiee no Efrat a ɛno ara ne Betlehem no akwantemfi.
So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
20 Yakob yɛɛ nkaedum sii Rahel da no so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.
And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.
21 Israel toaa nʼakwantu no so, kosii ne ntamadan wɔ Edir abantenten no akyi nohɔ baabi.
Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from 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:
And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.
23 Lea mma na wɔn din didi so yi: Ruben a ɔno ne Israel abakan, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar ne Sebulon.
The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:
24 Rahel nso mmabarima baanu no ne Yosef ne Benyamin.
The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:
25 Rahel afenaa Bilha mmabarima baanu no ne Dan ne Naftali
And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, 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 sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to 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 came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.
28 Isak dii mfe ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe.
And the days of Isaac came to be—a hundred and eighty years.
29 Isak wu ma wɔfaa no kɔkaa ne mpanyimfo ho; na wabɔ akwakoraa posoposo. Ne mmabarima Esau ne Yakob na wosiee no.
And Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
