Kĩambĩrĩria 35

1 Thuutha wa ũguo Ngai akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ Betheli ũgatũũre kuo, na wakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, o we ũrĩa wakuumĩrĩire rĩrĩa woragĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Esaũ.”

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu akĩĩra andũ a nyũmba yake, na arĩa othe maarĩ nao, atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ngai cia mĩhianano iria mũrĩ nacio, na mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene, na mwĩkĩre nguo ingĩ.

Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

3 Mũcooke mũũkĩre, mũreke tũthiĩ twambate Betheli, ngaakĩre Ngai kĩgongona kuo, ũrĩa wanjĩtĩkire mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, na ũrĩa ũkoretwo na niĩ kũrĩa guothe ndanathiĩ.”

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩnengera Jakubu ngai cia mĩhianano iria maarĩ nacio, na irengeeri iria ciarĩ matũ mao, nake Jakubu agĩcithika gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi kũu Shekemu.

And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5 Nao makiumagara, magĩĩthiĩra, namo matũũra marĩa maamathiũrũrũkĩirie makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya wa Ngai, nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamaingatithirie.

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6 Jakubu na andũ arĩa othe aarĩ nao magĩkinya Luzu (na nĩkuo Betheli), bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.

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

7 Agĩaka kĩgongona kũu, na agĩĩta handũ hau Eli-Betheli, tondũ hau nĩho Ngai aamwĩguũrĩirie rĩrĩa ooragĩra mũrũ wa nyina.

And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Nake Debora mũreri wa Rebeka agĩkua na agĩthikwo gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũgandi mũhuro wa Betheli. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Aloni-Bakuthu.

But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

9 Thuutha wa Jakubu gũcooka kuuma Padani-Aramu, Ngai akĩmuumĩrĩra rĩngĩ na akĩmũrathima.

And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

10 Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Jakubu, no ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Jakubu rĩngĩ; ũrĩĩtagwo Isiraeli.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩta Isiraeli.

And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

11 Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; ciaranai na mũingĩhe. Rũrĩrĩ na gĩkundi kĩa ndũrĩrĩ nĩikoima harĩwe, na athamaki nĩmakoima mwĩrĩ-inĩ waku.

And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

12 Bũrũri ũrĩa niĩ ndaheire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o nawe nĩngakũhe guo, na nĩngaheana bũrũri ũyũ kũrĩ njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku.”

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩambata akĩmweherera kuuma handũ hau aamwaragĩria.

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

14 Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ kĩa ihiga handũ hau Ngai aarĩtie nake, agĩgĩitĩrĩria ndibei; agĩcooka agĩgĩitĩrĩria maguta.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.

15 Jakubu agĩĩta handũ hau Ngai aamwarĩirie Betheli.

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

16 Thuutha ũcio Jakubu na andũ ake makiuma Betheli magĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo. Na matigairie hanini makinye Efiratha-rĩ, Rakeli akĩambĩrĩria kũrũmwo na agĩkorwo arĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno.

And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

17 Na tondũ aarĩ na thĩĩna mũingĩ mũno wa gũciara, mũmũciarithia akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, tondũ ũrĩ na kahĩĩ kangĩ.”

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

18 Na atanatuĩkana, tondũ nĩ gũkua aakuaga, agĩtua kahĩĩ kau Beni-Oni. No ithe agĩgatua Benjamini.

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died ) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rakeli agĩkua na agĩthikwo mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Efiratha (na nokuo Bethilehemu.)

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

20 Jakubu akĩhaanda gĩtugĩ igũrũ rĩa mbĩrĩra yake, na nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ gĩtugĩ kĩu nĩkĩo kĩonanagia mbĩrĩra ya Rakeli.

And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21 Isiraeli agĩthiĩ o na mbere na rũgendo na akĩamba hema yake mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Migidali-Ederi.

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli aatũũraga bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, Rubeni agĩthiĩ, agĩkoma na Biliha, thuriya ya ithe, nake Isiraeli akĩigua ũhoro ũcio. Jakubu aarĩ na ariũ ikũmi na eerĩ:

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23 Ariũ a Lea maarĩ: Rubeni irigithathi rĩa Jakubu, na Simeoni, na Lawi, na Juda, na Isakaru, na Zebuluni.

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

24 Ariũ a Rakeli maarĩ: Jusufu na Benjamini.

The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

25 Ariũ a Biliha ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Rakeli maarĩ: Dani na Nafitali.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

26 Ariũ a Zilipa ndungata ya mũirĩtu ya Lea maarĩ: Gadi na Asheri. Acio nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Jakubu, arĩa aaciarĩirwo arĩ kũu Padani-Aramu.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padanaram.

27 Na Jakubu agĩkinya mũciĩ kũrĩ ithe Isaaka kũu Mamure, hakuhĩ na Kiriathu-Ariba (nĩkuo Hebironi), kũrĩa Iburahĩmu na Isaaka maatũũrĩte.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 Isaaka aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩnana.

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and eighty years.

29 Agĩcooka agĩtuĩkana agĩkua na agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte, arĩ mũkũrũ na arĩ na mĩaka mĩingĩ. Nao ariũ ake Esaũ na Jakubu makĩmũthika.

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
