1Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
1To pacoengah Sithaw mah Jakob khaeah, Angthawk ah, Bethel ah caeh tahang ah loe, to ah om ah; nam ya Esau khae hoi na cawnh naah, nang khae kamtueng Sithaw khaeah, hmaicam maeto sah ah, tiah a naa.
2So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
2To pongah Jakob mah a imthung takoh hoi anih khae kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, Nangcae salak ih prae kalah sithawnawk to va o boih ah, ciimcai oh loe, khukbuen to angkraih oh.
3Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
3Angthawk oh, Bethel ah caeh o tahang si; raihaih ka tongh na niah ka lok pathimkung hoi ka caehhaih loklam ah kaom thuih Sithaw khaeah, to ih ahmuen ah hmaicam to ka sak han, tiah a naa.
4So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.
4To pongah nihcae ban ah kaom kalah sithawnawk boih, nihcae naa pong ih naa tangkraengnawk to Jakob khaeah paek o boih; to hmuennawk to Jakob mah Shekem ih oak thing tlim ah a phum pae.
5As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
5To pacoengah a caeh o; nihcae taeng ih vangpuinawk thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah Sithaw zithaih to phak pongah, mi mah doeh nihcae to patom thai ai.
6So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
6Jakob hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Kanaan prae thung ih Luz (Bethel thuihhaih ih ni) vangpui ah phak o boih.
7There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
7To ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak, amya khae hoi cawnh naah to ahmuen ah Sithaw mah angphong thuih pongah, to ahmuen to El Bethel, tiah kawk.
8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.
8To naah Rebekah khenzawnkung, Deborah loe duek moe, Bethel ih oak thingkung tlim ah a phum o; to pongah to ahmuen to Allon Bakuth, tiah kawk.
9After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
9Padan Aram hoi Jakob angzoh naah, anih khaeah Sithaw angphong pae let moe, anih to tahamhoihaih paek.
10And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.
10Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Na hmin loe Jakob; toe na hmin to Jakob, tiah kawk mak ai boeh, Israel, tiah ahmin om tih boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah anih ih ahmin to Israel, tiah kawk o.
11And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
11Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Thacak Sithaw ah ka oh; thingthai athai oh loe, pung oh; nang khae hoiah prae maeto hoi acaeng maeto ah om ueloe, nang khae hoiah ni siangpahrangnawk to tacawt o tih;
12The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
12Abraham hoi Issak khaeah ka paek ih prae to kang paek moe, na caanawk khaeah doeh ka paek han, tiah a naa.
13Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.
13To pacoengah anih hoi lokthuihaih ahmuen hoiah Sithaw mah anih to caehtaak.
14So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
14Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen ah thlung maeto thling moe, a nuiah naek koi hmuen to a bawh pacoengah, situi doeh a bawh.
15Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
15Jakob mah Sithaw hoi lokpaehhaih ahmuen to, Bethel, tiah kawk.
16Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
16To pacoengah Bethel hoiah ahmuen kalah bangah angpuen o; Ephrath ahmuen hoi kangthla kue ahmuen ah oh o naah, Rachel caa tapenhaih tue to phak, caa tapen han rai parai.
17During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”
17Caa om thai ai naah, nawkta omsakkung mah, anih khaeah, Zii hmah; capa maeto na sah let tih, tiah a naa.
18And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
18A hinghaih qui apet tom moe, (duek han oh sut naah) a capa to Ben-Oni, tiah ahmin sak; toe ampa mah loe anih to Benjamin, tiah ahmin sak.
19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
19Rachel loe duek moe, anih to Ephrath (Bethlehem) caehhaih loklam ah aphum o.
20Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.
20Anih aphumhaih taprong nuiah Jakob mah thlung maeto thling; to thlung loe vaihni ni khoek to Rachel ih taprong nuiah thling ih thlung ah oh poe.
21Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
21Israel loe to ahmuen hoiah caeh moe, Eder imsang to poeng pacoengah kahni im to sak.
22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
22Israel loe to prae ah oh naah, Reuben mah ampa ih zula Billah to iih haih, tiah Israel mah thaih. Jakob loe capa hatlai hnetto tawnh.
23The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
23Leah ih caanawk loe, Jakob ih calu Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar hoi Zebulun.
24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
24Rachel ih caanawk loe, Joseph hoi Benjamin;
25The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
25Rachel ih tamna Billah ih caanawk loe, Dan hoi Nephtali;
26And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
26Leah ih tamna Zilpah ih caanawk loe, Gad hoi Asher. Hae kaminawk loe Padan Aram ah oh o naah sak ih Jakob ih caa ah oh o.
27Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
27Jakob loe Hebron, tiah kawk ih Arba vangpui, Abraham hoi Issak ohhaih Mamre ahmuen ah caeh.
28And Isaac lived 180 years.
28Issak loe saning cumvai, qui tazetto hing.
29Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
29Issak loe saning coeh moe, mitong naah duek; anih loe anghahhaih takhi to boeng pacoengah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah nawnto oh; a capa Esau hoi Jakob mah anih to aphum hoi.
