Senesi 35

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Sēkope, “Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Peteli, pea nofo ai; pea ke ngaohi ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe hā kiate koe ʻi hoʻo hola mei he ʻao ʻo ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa.”

And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

2 Pea fekau ai ʻe Sēkope ki hono kau nofoʻanga, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē; “Tukuange ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mou maʻa, pea fetongi homou ngaahi kofu.

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

3 Pea ke tau tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki Peteli: pea te u ngaohi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe tali ʻeku hū, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi, pea naʻe ʻiate au ʻi he hala naʻaku ʻalu ai.

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

4 Pea naʻa nau tuku kia Sēkope honau ngaahi ʻotua kehe kotoa pē naʻe ʻi honau nima, mo honau ngaahi hau, naʻe ʻi honau telinga; pea naʻe fufū ia ʻe Sēkope ʻi he lalo [ʻakau ]ko e oke naʻe ofi ki Sikemi.”

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

5 Pea naʻa nau fononga; pea ko e manavahē ki he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tuli ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 Pea hoko ʻa Sēkope ki Lusa, ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia ko Peteli, ko ia mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia.

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

7 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne ui ʻae potu ko ia, ko ʻElepeteli: koeʻuhi naʻe hā ai ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, ʻi heʻene hola mei he ʻao ʻo hono taʻokete.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

8 Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Tepola ko e tauhi ʻo Lepeka, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi Peteli, ʻi he lalo oke; pea naʻe fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ʻAlonipakuti.

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

9 Pea naʻe toe hā ʻae ʻOtua kia Sēkope, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Petanalami, ʻo ne tāpuaki ia.

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, “Ko ho hingoa ko Sēkope: ka e ʻikai toe ui ho hingoa ko Sēkope, ka ko ʻIsileli ho hingoa: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsileli.”

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name Israel.

11 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, “Ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi au ke ke monūʻia, ʻo tupu ke tokolahi ko e puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻe tupu ʻiate koe, pea ʻe tupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi tuʻi.

And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12 Pea ko e fonua naʻaku tuku kia ʻEpalahame mo ʻAisake, ʻoku ou foaki ia kiate koe, pea mo ho hako ʻamui ʻiate koe, te u foaki ki ai ʻae fonua.”

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

13 Pea naʻe hāʻele hake ʻae ʻOtua meiate ia, mei he potu naʻa ne folofola ai kiate ia.

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

14 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope ʻae pou ʻi he potu naʻa ne folofola ai kiate ia, ʻio, ʻae pou maka: pea ne lilingi ki ai ʻae feilaulau inu, pea ne lilingi ki ai ʻae lolo.

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

15 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sēkope ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia naʻe folofola ai ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, ko Peteli.

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

16 Pea naʻa nau fononga mei Peteli pea naʻe toetoe siʻi pe, ke nau hoko ki ʻEfelata, pea naʻe langā ai ʻa Lesieli, pea naʻe faingataʻa.

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

17 Pea ʻi heʻene kei langā, naʻe lea ʻae māʻuli kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua te ke manavahē; he te ke maʻu ʻae tama ni foki.”

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

18 Pea ʻi he tei ʻalu hono laumālie, (he naʻe pekia ia, ) pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Penioni; ka naʻe ui ia ʻe heʻene tamai ko Penisimani.

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Lesieli, pea tanu ia ʻi he hala ʻoku tau ki ʻEfelata, ʻaia ko Petelihema.

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope ʻae pou ki hono tanuʻanga; pea ko e pou ia ʻoe tanuʻanga ʻo Lesieli, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Pea naʻe fai fononga ʻa ʻIsileli, pea folahi hono fale fehikitaki ki kō atu ʻoe fale māʻolunga ko ʻEta.

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22 Pea ʻi he kei nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lupeni ʻo na mohe mo Pila, ko e sinifu ʻo ʻene tamai; pea fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIsileli. Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope naʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua.

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Ko e ngaahi tama ʻa Lia: ko Lupeni, ko e ʻuluaki ʻo Sēkope, mo Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta, mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni.

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Ko e ongo tama ʻa Lesieli: ko Siosefa mo Penisimani.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Pea ko e ongo tama ʻa Pila, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lesieli, ko Tani, mo Nafitali.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 Pea ko e ongo tama ʻa Silipa, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lia; ko Kata mo ʻAseli; ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Sēkope, naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻi Petanalami.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake ʻi Mamili, ki he kolo ko ʻAapa, ʻaia ko Hepeloni, ko e potu naʻe ʻāunofo ai ʻa ʻEpalahame mo ʻAisake.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAisake, ko e taʻu ʻe teau, mo e taʻu ʻe valungofulu.

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Pea tukuange ʻe ʻAisake ʻa hono laumālie, pea pekia ia, pea fakataha ia ki hono kakai, kuo motuʻa, naʻe aʻu hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea naʻe tanu ia ʻe hono ongo foha, ko ʻIsoa, mo Sēkope.

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
