Genesis 35 (TCZCHONG)

1Hichun Pathen'in Jacob ahoulimpin, “Kithouvin lang Bethel lama kinungle kit inlang hikom'a chun gacheng tan, chule na upa Esau kom'a nahung jampet a nahenga hung kilah Pathen ding chun hikom'a chun maicham khat gasemin,” ati.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.”

2Chuin Jacob in a insung mite ahin midang akom'a cheng ho jah a hitin aseiye, “Doiphung jouse paimang un, natahsa kisuhthengun, vonthah kivonun,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.

3Tua eiho Bethel lama iche diu Pathen henga maicham kasem ding ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaijin ka hahsat laitah a kataona eisanpeh in, Aman kachena ka lamjotna jousea eiumpi jinge ati.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.”

4Hichun ama hon gamdang mite indoi akoi jouseu chule abil uva abilba u abonchan Jacob apeuvin ahile Jacob in abonchan Shechem nai vel'a thingphunglen noi khat ah aga vuimang tai.So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.

5Amaho ahung kondoh uchun Pathen a konna tijatna mipi adimun, hijeh chun Jacob insung mite bulu din koimacha ahung kondoh ngam tapoi.As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

6Jacob le a insung mite Luz kiti (Bethel tia jong kihe) Canaan gamsung alhungun ahi.So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7Chule hikom'a chun Jacob in maicham khat asemin, hiche lai mun chu El-bethel asah in ahi (hichu “Bethel Pathen” tina ahi). Ajeh chu aupa henga konna ahung jamdoh a chu hikom'a chu Pathen ama mong-mong ahenga hung kiphong ahi.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.

8Rebekah jenle nu Deborah athi a chu Bethel noiya gangpi phungnoi khat ah ana kivui ahin, hiche jeh a chu hiche min chu Allon-bacuth kisah ahiye (hichu “Lhilonna gangpi phung” tina ahi).Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.

9Hichun Pathen'in Jacob Paddan-aram a konna ahung chun ana kimutopi kit in, chuin Bethel mun'a Pathen'in phatthei abohkit in ahi.After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10Pathen'in ahoulimpin ajah a, “Namin hi Jacob ahin tunia patna hi nangma Jacob na kiti talou ding ahi. Amavang Israel kiti ding nahitai,” hichun Pathen'in ama pa min chu Israel asah tai.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.

11Hichun Pathen'in aseiye, “Keima El-Shaddai kahi. Pathen hattah kahi, hatah in ga un, hatah in pung tultul un, nam lentah kaso ding nahi, chule chilhah jong tamtah kapeh ding nahi,” ati.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.

12Chule khatvei Abraham, Isaac kapeh gam chu nangma le na insung mite kapeh kit ding nahi, khonung teng jongleh nangma kapeh ding nahi.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.”

13Hichun Pakai vantil chu Jacob akihoulimpi na a kon'in achemang tai.Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

14Jacob in Pakai to akimuto melchihna dingin hiche mun'a chun songkhom khat aphutdoh kit in, hiche khom chunga chun kilhaina ju asun khumin, chule hiche chunga chun Olive thao twi asun khume.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.

15Chule Jacob in hilai mun chu Bethel (hichu “Pathen In” tina) asah tan ahi.Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16Jacob le a insung miten Bethel chu adalhauvin, Ephrath lam ajot laitah un Rachel chu anaovop nat ahung kipan tan, akhol chenau jong lhung joujep loulai ahiuvinn, amanu soh dingin hanat in ahung natai.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.

17Rachel chu soh dinga hanat a anat pet chun anaodom a pang asoh numei ho chun hitin ahoulimpi uve, “Nangma kicha hih in, lungneo hihbeh in, chapa khat na neibe ding ahi,” atiuve.During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18Hinlah Rachel chu alhagao apotdoh tai, ajeh chu amanu athia ahitan ahi; hijeh chun aman jong nao min chu Ben-oni asah in (Ben-oni tichu ka thoh gimpet a kacha tina ahi), apan vang Benjamin asah tai. (Benjamin tichu, kajet lama pang chapa tina ahi).And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

19Rachel chu athitan Ephrath (hichu Bethleham) lampia avui tauvin ahi.So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Jacob in angailut hetjing nan Rachel lhan song asempeh in, tuni gei hin hiche Rachel lhan hi aum jing nalaiye.Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

21Hichun Jacob chu achen pondal buh chu Migdal-eder inting vum geijin atung doh e.Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

22Ama chuche gamsunga achen laiyin Reuben in apa thaikemnu Bilhah chu ana luppin, hiche thu chu gangtah Jacob in ana jan ahi. Hiche ho hi Jacob chapa som le ni ho min chu ahi: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:

23Leah chapa te chu Reuben (Jacob chapa apeng masa pen), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar chule Zebulun ahiuve.The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24Rachel chapa teni chu Joseph le Benjamin ahi lhon'e.The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25Rachel sohnu Bilhah chapa teni chu Dan le Naphtali ahi lhon'in,The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26Leah sohnu Zilpah chapa teni chu Gad le Asher ahi lhone. Hichengse hi Jacob in Paddan-aram gamsunga ahindoh achapa te chu ahiuve.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.

27Hichun Jacob apa Isaac kom'a ahung kinungle kit tan Mamre a Kiriath-arba gam (Hebron tia jong kisei) phat khat laiya Abraham le Isaac maljinna ana umna'u mun chu ahi.Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28Isaac chu akum kum jakhat le somget ana lhing tan ahi.And Isaac lived 180 years.

29Hichun Isaac ahaitan in teh kembet in ahinkho ana lhan, akhangguiya chemasa ho toh thinan akigom tai. Chuin achapa teni, Esau le Jacob in avui lhon tan ahi.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.
