Genesis 35

1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

Bondye di Jakòb: -Leve non, moute al Betèl, epi rete la. Bati yon lotèl la pou Bondye ki te parèt devan ou lan, lè ou t'ap kouri pou Ezaou, frè ou la.

2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.

Se konsa Jakòb rele fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun ki avè l' yo. li di yo: -Pran tout lòt bondye etranje n'ap sèvi yo, voye yo jete. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Mete rad nèt sou nou.

3 Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”

Nou pral kite kote nou ye a, nou pral Betèl, kote mwen pral bati yon lotèl pou Bondye ki te reponn lapriyè m' lè m' te anba tray la, pou Bondye ki te la avèk mwen kote m' pase nan vwayaj mwen te fè a.

4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

Se konsa yo renmèt Jakòb tout bondye etranje yo te gen nan men yo ansanm ak tout zanno yo te gen nan zòrèy yo. Jakòb antere tout sa anba pye bwadchenn ki te toupre lavil Sichèm lan.

5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

Apre sa, yo pati. tout moun ki te rete nan zòn lan te vin pè Bondye anpil. Yo yonn pa leve al rapouswiv pitit Jakòb yo.

6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

Jakòb rive ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo lavil Louz, nan peyi Kanaran. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betèl tou.

7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

Li bati yon lotèl la, li rele kote a Betèl, paske se la Bondye te parèt devan li lè li t'ap kouri pou frè l' la.

8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

Lè sa a, Debora, bòn Rebeka a, mouri. Yo antere l' pi ba Betèl, anba pye bwadchenn lan. Se konsa yo rele pye bwadchenn lan: chenn dlo nan je a.

9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

Lè Jakòb te tounen soti Mezopotami, Bondye parèt ankò devan li, li beni li.

10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.

Bondye di l' konsa: -Yo rele ou Jakòb pa sa? Men, yo p'ap rele ou Jakòb ankò, y'a rele ou Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a, se Izrayèl yo rele l' vre.

11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

Bondye di l' ankò: -Se mwen menm Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. W'ap gen anpil pitit ak pitit pitit. Gen ladan yo k'ap wa. W'ap si tèlman gen anpil pitit pitit, y'a tounen yon kantite nasyon.

12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”

Peyi mwen te bay Abraram ak Izarak la, m'ap ba ou li tou. Apre sa, m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo li.

13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

Apre sa, Bondye kite l' kote li t'ap pale ak li a, li moute nan syèl.

14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

Jakòb pran yon gwo wòch, li plante l' pou l' make kote Bondye te pale avèk li a. Li pran diven, li wouze wòch la, apre sa li vide lwil sou li.

15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.

Li rele kote Bondye te pale avè l' la Betèl.

16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

Apre sa, yo pati yo kite Betèl. Yo pa t' twò lwen rive lavil Efrata lè lè a te rive pou Rachèl akouche. Li t'ap soufri anpil.

17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

Lè doulè a te pi rèd, fanmchay la di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou fè yon pitit gason ankò.

18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

Rachèl tapral mouri, li t'ap rann dènye souf li lè li rele pitit la Bennoni. Men papa a rele l' Benjamen.

19 Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).

Rachèl mouri, yo antere l' sou wout lavil Efrata. Se lavil sa a yo rele Betleyèm lan tou.

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

Jakòb make tonm lan ak yon gwo wòch: yo rele l' Moniman tonm Rachèl la. Wòch la la jouk jòdi a.

21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

Apre sa, Izrayèl pati, li al moute tant li lòt bò Migdaledè.

22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

Antan Jakòb t'ap viv nan peyi sa a, Woubenn al kouche ak Bila, yonn nan fanm papa l' yo. Izrayèl vin konn sa, li te fache anpil. Jakòb te gen douz pitit gason.

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

Men non pitit Leya te fè pou li yo: Woubenn, premye pitit gason l' lan, Simeyon, Levi, Jida, Isaka ak Zabilon.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

Men non pitit Rachèl te fè pou li yo: Jozèf ak Benjamen.

25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.

Men non pitit Bila, sèvant Rachèl la, te fè pou li yo: Dann ak Nèftali.

26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Men non pitit Zilpa, sèvant Leya a, te fè pou li yo: Gad ak Asè. Se tout pitit gason sa yo Jakòb te genyen antan li te nan peyi Mezopotami.

27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

Jakòb al wè papa l' Izarak, nan Manmre (yo rele kote sa a Kija aba tou, ou ankò Ebwon). Se la Abraram ak Izarak te pase tout lavi yo.

28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

Izarak te gen sankatreven lanne sou tèt li

29 Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

lè li mouri. Li te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou li lè l' al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja. Ezaou ak Jakòb, pitit gason l' yo, antere li.
