Olubereberye 35
1 Katonda n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Golokoka oyambuke e Beseri, obeere eyo, ozimbire Katonda ekyoto, eyakulabikira bwe wadduka muganda wo Esawu.”
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
2 Awo Yakobo n’agamba ab’omu nnyumba ye ne bonna abaali naye nti, “Muggyeewo bakatonda abalala abali nammwe, mwetukuze mukyuse ebyambalo byammwe,
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3 tulyoke twambuke tugende e Beseri ndyoke nzimbire Katonda ekyoto, Katonda eyanziramu mu nnaku ez’okunakuwala kwange, era abadde nange buli gye ŋŋenze.
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 Awo ne bawa Yakobo bakatonda abalala bonna be baalina, n’empeta ezaali ku matu gaabwe; Yakobo n’abiziika wansi w’omuvule ogwali okumpi ne Sekemu.”
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 Bwe baali batambula, entiisa ya Katonda n’egwa ku bibuga ebyali bibeetoolodde, ne batagoberera baana ba Yakobo.
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 Yakobo n’ajja e Luzi, ye Beseri, ekiri mu nsi ya Kanani, ye n’abantu bonna abaali naye.
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 N’azimba eyo ekyoto, n’akituuma Erubeeseeri. Kubanga eyo Katonda gye yamweragira bwe yadduka muganda we.
And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Debola omujjanjabi wa Lebbeeka n’afa n’aziikibwa wansi w’omuvule, wansi wa Beseri kyekyava kiyitibwa Alooninakusi.
But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
9 Yakobo bwe yava mu Padanalaamu Katonda n’amulabikira, n’amuwa omukisa.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe Yakobo; tokyaddayo kuyitibwa Yakobo, erinnya lyo linaabanga Isirayiri.” Bwe kityo erinnya lye ne liba Isirayiri.
And God said unto him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.
11 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Ndi Katonda Ayinzabyonna: zaala oyale, eggwanga n’enkuyanja y’amawanga biriva mu ggwe, ne bakabaka balisibuka mu ggwe.
And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;
12 Ensi gye nawa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ndigikuwa ggwe, era ndigiwa n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo.”
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.
13 Awo Katonda n’alinnya okuva waali mu kifo we yayogerera naye.
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 Yakobo n’asimba empagi mu kifo Katonda mwe yayogerera naye, empagi ey’ejjinja; n’agiyiwako ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa, n’ayiwako n’amafuta.
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 thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
15 Yakobo ekifo Katonda we yayogerera naye n’akiyita Beseri.
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
16 Bwe baava e Beseri, era nga bakyali walako okuva Efulasi, Laakeeri n’alumwa, n’alumwa ddala nnyo.
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 Bwe yali ng’alumwa bw’atyo omuzaalisa n’amugamba nti, “Totya kubanga kaakano onoofuna omwana omulala owoobulenzi.”
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.
18 Omwoyo bwe gwali gumuggwaamu ng’afa, n’amutuuma Benoni, naye kitaawe n’amuyita Benyamini.
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 Awo Laakeeri n’afa n’aziikibwa ku kkubo erigenda Efulasi (ye Besirekemu).
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 Yakobo n’asimba empagi ku malaalo ge, y’empagi y’amalaalo ga Laakeeri, ekyaliwo n’okutuusa kaakano.
And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21 Isirayiri ne yeeyongera okutambula, n’akuba eweema ye, emabega w’omunaala gwa Ederi.
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22 Isirayiri bwe yali ng’ali mu nsi omwo Lewubeeni n’agenda ne yeebaka ne Biira omuweereza wa kitaawe, Isirayiri n’akiwulira. Batabani ba Yakobo baali kkumi n’ababiri.
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 Batabani ba Leeya baali: Lewubeeni mutabani wa Yakobo omubereberye, ne Simyoni, ne Leevi, ne Yuda, ne Isakaali ne Zebbulooni.
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
24 Batabani ba Laakeeri ye: Yusufu ne Benyamini.
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
25 Batabani ba Biira, omuweereza wa Laakeeri be ba: Ddaani ne Nafutaali.
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 Batabani ba Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya be ba: Gaadi ne Aseri. Bano be batabani ba Yakobo abaamuzaalirwa mu Padanalaamu.
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
27 Awo Yakobo n’ajja eri kitaawe Isaaka e Mamule, oba Kiriyasaluba, ye Kebbulooni, Ibulayimu ne Isaaka mwe baatuulanga.
And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 Isaaka yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu kinaana.
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
29 Isaaka n’afa ng’akaddiye nnyo n’agenda abantu be gye bagenda, ng’amaze ennaku nnyingi, batabani be Esawu ne Yakobo ne bamuziika.
And Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
