Genesis 35

1 God El fahk nu sel Jacob, “Som nu Bethel ingena ac muta we. Musaela sie loang ah luk we, nga God se su tuh sikwot nu sum pacl se kom tuh kaing lukel Esau, tamulel lom.”

In the meantime God said to Jacob: Arise, and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau thy brother.

2 Ouinge Jacob el fahk nu sin sou lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul, “Sisla god saya ma oan yuruwos an. Aknasnasyekowosla, ac nokomang nuknuk nasnas tuh kowos in nasnas ye mutun God.

And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed and change your garments.

3 Kut ac som liki acn se inge nu Bethel, yen su nga ac fah musaela sie loang nu sin God se su tuh kasreyu in pacl in ongoiya nu sik, ac su nuna wiyu na yen nukewa nga fahsr nu we.”

Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God: who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey.

4 Ouinge elos sang nu sel Jacob god sac nukewa ma oasr yorolos, ac oayapa yaring ma elos orekmakin. El pikinya ma inge ye sak oak soko apkuran nu Shechem.

So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.

5 Ke Jacob ac wen natul nukewa mukuiyak in som, mwet nukewa su muta in siti srisrik ma apkuran elos arulana sangeng, ac tiana ukwalos.

And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away.

6 Jacob el tuku wi mwet lal nukewa nu Luz, su pangpang Bethel in pacl inge, in acn Canaan.

And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.

7 El etoak loang se we ac sang Inen God lun Bethel nu kac, mweyen God El tuh sifacna sikyang nu sel we ke pacl se el tuh kaingkin tamulel lal ah.

And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.

8 Deborah, mutan tutaf lal Rebecca, el misa ac pukpuki ye sak oak soko layen eir in acn Bethel. Ouinge acn sac pangpang “Sak Oak in Tung.”

At the same time Debora the nurse of Rebecca died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel under an oak: and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.

9 Ke pacl se Jacob el foloko liki acn Mesopotamia, God El sifilpa sikyang nu sel ac akinsewowoyal.

And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,

10 God El fahk nu sel, “Inem pa Jacob, tusruktu ingela inem ac fah pangpang Israel.” Ouinge God El sang inel Israel.

Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.

11 Ac God El fahk nu sel, “Nga God Kulana. Lela tuh in oasr tulik puspis nutum. Mutunfacl puspis ac fah tuku ke fwilin tulik nutum, ac kom ac fah papa tumun tokosra puspis.

And said to him: I am God Almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

12 Nga ac sot nu sum acn ma nga tuh sang nu sel Abraham ac nu sel Isaac, ac nga fah oayapa sang nu sin fwilin tulik nutum tok.”

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

13 Na God El som lukel.

And he departed from him.

14 Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se in acn se ma God El kaskas nu sel we inge, ac akmutalyela ke el ukuiya wain ac oil in olive nu fac.

But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:

15 Ac el sang inen acn sac Bethel.

And calling the name of that place Bethel.

16 Jacob ac sou lal som liki acn Bethel, ac ke elos srakna loes liki acn Ephrath, na sun pacl in isus lal Rachel, ac arulana upa nu sel in isus.

And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,

17 Ke pacl se ma upala na pwaye ngal in isus lal, mutan akisus lal el akkeyal ac fahk, “Rachel, akkeye kom. Tulik mukul se pac pa inge.”

By reason of her hard labour she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.

18 Tusruktu Rachel el munaslana in misa, ac ke el apkuran in fuhlakinla mong safla lal, el sang inen tulik se natul uh Benoni, a papa tumun tulik sac sang inel Benjamin.

And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.

19 Ke Rachel el misa, pukpuki el sisken inkanek nu Ephrath, su pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.

So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.

20 Jacob el tulokunak eot in esmakin se we, ac srakna akilenya kulyuk lal Rachel nwe misenge.

And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel’s monument, to this day.

21 Jacob el sifilpa mukuiyak fahsr nu meet, ac ke el alukela tower Eder el tulokunak iwen aktuktuk lal we.

Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower.

22 Ke Jacob el muta in acn sac, Reuben el ona yorol Bilhah, sie sin mutan kulansap kien papa tumal. Ke Jacob el lohngak el arulana foloyak. Oasr wen singoul luo natul Jacob.

And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala, the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Wen natul Leah pa Reuben (wen se omeet natul Jacob), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, ac Zebulun.

The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon.

24 Wen natul Rachel pa Joseph ac Benjamin.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Wen natul Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal Rachel, pa Dan ac Naphtali.

The sons of Bala, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Nephtali.

26 Wen natul Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal Leah, pa Gad ac Asher. Mukul natul Jacob inge nukewa isusla Mesopotamia.

The sons of Zelpha, Lia’s handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.

27 Jacob el som nu yorol Isaac, papa tumal, in acn Mamre, apkuran nu Hebron, yen Abraham ac Isaac tuh muta we.

And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 Isaac el moul nwe ke el sun yac siofok oalngoul,

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

29 ac el misa ke el arulana matuoh. Ac Esau ac Jacob, wen luo natul, eltal piknilya.

And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
