Genesis 35 (LGA)

1Ego pira saunia na Tamasa si Jekopi, <<Mu qaqiri ko mule sae pa Beteli ko mu suvere ketakoi, beto mu roitinia ketakoi kai ia vavakukuvuna lao tai Tamasa, isa sa votu tamu totonai qu korapa ukunia na tugamu i Isoa,>> saunia.Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

2Ko i Jekopi sa pojaniria sira nona tamatina beto ira doru qai suvere tana, pira sau, <<Mu gona paleria sira na tamasa karovodi qu isongoria beto mu valioso mulenigou beto mu beiria na miu poko.So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.

3Beto aria, ta sae pa Beteli, ketakoi mana vaturua ara sa kai ia vavakukuvuna lao tai Tamasa, isa sa oesiu pa qua totoso takulanga beto isa sa vavaburosiu pa rererege ketakoi qa lao ara,>> sau.Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

4Ko qai vania i Jekopi sa doru tamasa karovodi qai isongoria beto ira na ringi qai vasulingiria pa talingidi ko i Jekopi sa koriniria pa kauruna na gou Aloni pa Sekemi.So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.

5Totonai qai taloa riu sira na minete tai Jekopi poni sa na matagutuna na Tamasa sa goreria sira na gugugusu pa vailivutaidi ko kepore sa kame bi adu tutiria.As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

6Ego ko i Jekopi beto doru na tinoni qai tutia sa qai kamu pa Luzi (isa pa Beteli) pa ia pa Kenani,So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7Ketakoi sa vaturua i Jekopi sa kai ia vavakukuvuna beto sa vakukunia na ia isa El Beteli, ura ketakoi sa sa vatadogoronia mekana na Tamasa tana totonai sa ukunia na tugana.There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.

8Ego i Debora, na rereko kopu koburu tai Ribeka sa, sa mate ko sa tagolomo pa kauru gou Aloni pa Beteli. Ko sa tavaisongonia Aloni Bakuti sa na ia isa.Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.

9Ego na Tamasa sa sa votu mule tai Jekopi pa liguna sa mule koko pa Padani Arami ko sa manania sisa.After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10Beto pira saunia na Tamasa sisa, <<Na isongomu si Jekopi, ba munake takuku sogania i Jekopi sao, goto na isongomu sa mina i Izireli tu,>> sau. Ko sa vaisongonia i Izireli sa na isongona.And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.

11Beto pira saunia mutu na Tamasa, <<Ara sa na Tamasa neqiqu jola, mu vua beto mu soku. Kai puku tinoni beto kai minete bubutu tinoni sa mina koko lame vei tamu, beto ira na babangara sa mai votu lame vei pa tinimu ao.And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.

12Na ia qa vania na mua tite i Ebarahami beto na tamamu i Aisake sa qa vanigo mutu ao beto ira na tutimu ao vuka risa qa vaniria sa na ia api,>> sau.The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

13Beto sa iolo loai na Tamasa sisa pa ia ketakoi sa parangania.Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

14Ego sa vaturua i Jekopi sa kai babara patu pa ia ketakoi sa parangia na Tamasa, beto sa vuva vamadini vaini vaivana beto sa vuva vamadini oela tugu vei.So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.

15Ego sa vakukunia Beteli i Jekopi sa na ia ketakoi sa parangania na Tamasa isa.Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16Ego beto sa qai taloa pa Beteli ko qai riu. Totonai qai korapa tu tata kamu pa Eparati, sa vivitigi gu si Resolo ba sa vatapatia na vapodo koburu.Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.

17Beto totonai sa korapa vatapatia na vapodo koburu si Resolo sa pira sau sa na rereko sa vatekuni koburu isa, <<Muke bebenyo, qu isongia mule kai marene sao,>> saunia.During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18Totonai sa korapa vasaenga bebeto ura sa mate gu sisa, poni sa sa vakukunia na isongona i Beni Oni sa na koburu. Ba na tamana sa vaisongonia i Benisimani sisa.And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

19Ko sa mate si Resolo ko sa tagolomo pa soana lao pa Eparati (isa pa Betilihema).So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Ego ko sa vaturua i Jekopi sa kai babara patu pa arena na bevi isa ko na babara patu isa sa na vinagigilana na bevi tai Resolo kamua tu pa rane pa ngeni alepi.Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

21Ego ko sa rijo riu mutu si Izireli ko sa vaturua nona aqaqo kai kalena lao pa Miqidal Edea.Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

22Totonai tu sa korapa suvere I Izireli pa pikata ia isa sa, I Rubeni sa tome puta tavitia si Biliha na maqotana i Izireli na tamana. Ko i Izireli sa nongoria sa vei isa. Ego ko ira ka manogarua sa na tuna marene i Jekopi.While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:

23Ira na tuna marene i Lia sa: I Rubeni na tuna pa moa i Jekopi, I Simioni, i Levi, i Jiuda, i Isaka beto i Zebuluni.The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24Ira na tuna marene i Resolo sa: Ira Josepa i Benisimani.The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25Ira na tuna marene i Biliha na nabulu rereko tai Resolo sa: Ira Dani i Naputali.The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26Ira na tuna marene i Zilipa na nabulu rereko tai Lia sa: Ira Qadi i Asa. Aipira sira na tuna marene i Jekopi qai podo pa Padani Arami.And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27Ego i Jekopi sa mule kamu pa gusu tai Aisake na tamana pa Mamere tata pa Kiriati Aba (isa pa Heboroni), na gusu ketakoi qai suvere vei na tinoni karovodi ira Ebarahami i Aisake.Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28Ego I Aisake sa suvere kamua kai gogoto vesungavuluputa aoro.And Isaac lived 180 years.

29Beto sa vasaenga bebeto ko sa mate si Aisake totonai sa baragoso vapaparoi ko sa tagolomo tavitiria ira nona tinoni sisa. Ko ira Isoa i Jekopi karu tuna marene qai vapaea sa na kokobu tinina.Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
