1God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
1Pea 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.”
2Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
2Pea 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.
3Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
3Pea 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.
4They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
4Pea 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.”
5They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
5Pea 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.

7He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
7Pea 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.

10God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
10Pea 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.”
11God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
11Pea 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.
