Genesis 35 (ROW)

1Basa naa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ no Yakob nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain fo mana utudꞌu ao ngga neu nggo, leleꞌ mela hela aꞌa ma Esau. Ia naa, ho lali Betel muu leo. Losa naa, muririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Au. Ma leo muu naa leo.”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.”

2Basa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no basa ume isi nara nae, “Ia naa, basa hita tae lao Betel teu. Maꞌahulu na, au mia sususaꞌ rala, Lamatualain tulu-fali au mia naa. Au ae uririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ sia naa. Dadꞌi ia naa, nggari hendi basa paton sosonggoꞌ ra leo. Tao mimemeu ao mara, ma nggati bua-baꞌu mara, te ata tae beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.”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.

3Boe ma ara fee basa paton sosonggoꞌ ma basa aꞌandikiꞌ ra. De Yakob naꞌoi se sia hau huu ineꞌ esa raeꞌ, deka kambo Sikem.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.”

5Yakob atahori nara lao mia Sikem ma, Lamatualain fee nemetaus neu atahori ndule nusaꞌ naa ra, de ara nda rambarani tao deꞌulaka Yakob se sa.As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

6Naa de, Yakob no atahori nara, losa Betel sia rae Kanaꞌan no masodꞌaꞌ. (Feꞌesaꞌan, Betel, naran Lus).So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7Losa naa ma, Yakob lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, El Betel, (sosoa na ‘Betel Lamatualain na’), huu maꞌahulu na Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa, leleꞌ ana nela mia aꞌa na.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.

8Deka no kambo Betel, hambu hau huu ineꞌ esa atahori rae Alon Bakut. Sosoa na ‘hau ngganggaet’. Ara babꞌae raꞌo naa, huu leleꞌ Ribka ina mana oꞌo na, naran Debora, mate, ara raꞌoi e sia hau huuꞌ naa raeꞌ.Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.

9Yakob baliꞌ mia Padan Aram ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na fai, ma fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Eniꞌ a mia ia nema, nara ma, nda Yakob sa ena. Te, Au fee nara feu ma, naeni, Israꞌel.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.

11Au ia, Lamatualain mana Koasa. De bꞌonggi mumuhefu leo! Mete te, nusa-nusaꞌ ra rema mia tititi-nonosi mara. Ma ho bꞌonggi mane-maneꞌ ra.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.

12Nusaꞌ fo Au fee neu baꞌi Abraham ma amam Isak, ia naa Au fee neu nggo mo tititi-nonosi mara.”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.”

14Lamatualain olaꞌ basa ma, Yakob naririi rii fatuꞌ esa sia naa, dadꞌi nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli na. Boe ma, ana mboꞌa oe anggor, no mina neu fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.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.

15Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, Betel.Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16Basa naa ma, Yakob se lao hela Betel. Ara feꞌe raꞌadꞌooꞌ ro Efrata (nara feaꞌ na, Betlehem), te Rahel naeꞌ a bꞌonggi ena. Te ana bꞌonggi susa.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.

17Ana feꞌe naꞌananasaꞌ ma, mana naꞌabꞌobꞌonggiꞌ a nafadꞌe e nae, “Ina Rahel! Tao manggatetee rala ma, huu inaꞌ hambu ana touꞌ esa fai!”During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18Rahel hahae na nae etu ma, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Ben-Oni, (sosoa na ‘ana doidꞌosoꞌ’). Basa naa ma, ana mate boe. Te Yakob babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Benyamin, (sosoa na ‘ana lima onaꞌ’).And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

19Basa ma, ara raꞌoi Rahel sia dalaꞌ mana nae nisiꞌ Efrata suu na (ia naa, Efrata naran Betlehem).So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Boe ma Yakob naririi fatu rates esa sia naa. Rahel fatu rates na naa, feꞌe sia ia, losa faiꞌ ia.Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

21Basa naa ma, Yakob lali-laliꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Lao esa, ana naririi lalaat deka ume kanaru ineꞌ sa, naran Eder.Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

22Ara feꞌe leo sia naa ma, Ruben sungguꞌ no ama na sao tias na, Bilha. Ma Yakob o bubꞌuluꞌ dalaꞌ naa boe. Yakob ana mone nara sanahulu rua. Naeni,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:

23Lea ana nara, Ruben (fo Yakob ana ulu na), Simeon, Lewi, Yahuda, Isaskar, ma Sebulon.The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24Rahel ana nara, Yusuf ma Benyamin.The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25Rahel ate na Bilha ana nara, Dan ma Naftali.The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26Ma Lea ate na Silpa ana nara, Gad, ma Aser. Ara bꞌonggi basa anaꞌ naa ra sia Padan Aram.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.

27Basa naa ma, Yakob neu seꞌu ama na Isak sia Mamre deka kambo Kiriat Arba (aleꞌ ia, naran Hebron). Maꞌahulu na, baꞌi Abraham o leo sia naa boe.Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28Isak nasodꞌa losa too natun esa falu nulu ma, ana mate. De ana na Yakob no Esau raꞌoi e.And Isaac lived 180 years.
