Yacquub Oo Beytel Ku Laabtay

35 Oo Ilaah wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Kac oo xagga Beytel tag, oo halkaas deg; oo meel allabari halkaas uga samee Ilaahii kuu muuqday markii aad walaalkaa Ceesaw ka cararaysay. Markaasaa Yacquub ku yidhi dadkii gurigiisa iyo intii isaga la jirtay oo dhan, Iska fogeeya ilaahyada qalaad oo idinku dhex jira, oo isdaahirsha, oo dharkiinnana beddesha, oo ina kiciya, aynu Beytel tagnee, oo anna halkaas meel allabari baan uga samayn doonaa Ilaahii ii jawaabay maalintii aan dhibtoonayay oo ila jiray jidkii aan maray. Markaasay Yacquub wada siiyeen ilaahyadii qalaad oo gacantooda ku jiray, iyo hilqadihii dhegahooda ku jiray, Yacquubna wuxuu ku qariyey geed Shekem ku ag yiil hoostiisa. Wayna sodcaaleen, magaalooyinkii ku wareegsanaa oo dhanna cabsi weyn baa ku dhacday, mana ay ka daba tegin reer Yacquub. Yacquubna wuxuu yimid Luus oo ku taal dalka Kancaan (taasuna waa Beytel), isagii iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhanba. Markaasuu halkaas ka dhisay meel allabari, wuxuuna meeshii u bixiyey [a]Elbeytel, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa halkaas ugu muuqday isaga, markuu ka cararay walaalkiis. Markaasaa Debooraah oo Rebeqah midiidinteedii ahayd dhimatay, waxaana lagu aasay Beytel geedka hoostiisa; meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo bixiyey [b]Alloon Bakuud.

Markaasaa Ilaah mar kale Yacquub u muuqday, markii uu ka yimid Fadan Araam, wuuna barakeeyey. 10 Oo waxaa Ilaah ku yidhi, Magacaagu waa Yacquub. Hadda ka dib magacaaga lama odhan doono Yacquub, laakiinse magacaagu wuxuu ahaan doonaa Israa'iil. Magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Israa'iil. 11 Markaasaa Ilaah ku yidhi isaga, Waxaan ahay Ilaaha Qaadirka ah. Wax badan dhal oo taran; quruun iyo quruumo badan ayaa kaa iman doona, waxaa kaa soo bixi doona boqorro; 12 oo dhulkii aan siiyey Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq, adigaan ku siin doonaa, adiga dabadaana farcankaagaan siin doonaa dhulka. 13 Ilaahna kor buu uga tegey isagii iyo meeshii uu kula hadlayba. 14 Yacquubna meeshii uu kula hadlay isaga wuxuu ka taagay tiir, kaas oo ahaa tiir dhagax ah; wuxuuna ku dul shubay qurbaan cabniin ah, saliidna wuu ku dul shubay. 15 Yacquubna meeshii Ilaah kula hadlay isaga magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey Beytel.

Dhimashadii Raaxeel Iyo Isxaaq

16 Wayna ka sodcaaleen Beytel; oo intaanay Efrad weli soo gaadhin ayaa Raaxeel foolatay, fooshiina way ku rafaadday. 17 Oo markay fooshii ku rafaadaysay umulisadii baa ku tidhi, Ha cabsan; waayo, haatan waxaad dhalaysaa wiil kale. 18 Oo waxay noqotay in, markii ay naftu ka sii baxaysay, ay magiciisii u bixisay Benooni, waayo, way dhimatay, laakiinse aabbihiis wuxuu u bixiyey Benyaamiin. 19 Raaxeelna way dhimatay, waxaana lagu aasay jidka loo maro Efrad, taasuna waa Beytlaxam. 20 Yacquubna tiir buu ka taagay qabrigeedii; waana isla tiirka ka taagan qabrigii Raaxeel ilaa maanta. 21 Israa'iilna waa sodcaalay, oo wuxuu teendhadiisii ka dhistay munaaraddii Ceeder shishadeeda. 22 Oo waxay noqotay, intuu Israa'iil dhulkaas degganaa, in Ruubeen u tegey oo la jiifsaday addoontii aabbihiis oo Bilhah ahayd; Israa'iilna taas wuu maqlay. Wiilashii Yacquubna laba iyo toban bay ahayeen.

23 Wiilashii Lee'ah waxay ahaayeen Ruubeen oo ahaa curadkii Yacquub, iyo Simecoon, iyo Laawi, iyo Yahuudah, iyo Isaakaar, iyo Sebulun. 24 Wiilashii Raaxeelna waxay ahaayeen Yuusuf iyo Benyaamiin. 25 Addoontii Raaxeel oo Bilhah ahayd wiilasheediina waxay ahaayeen Daan iyo Naftaali. 26 Addoontii Lee'ah oo Silfah ahayd wiilasheediina waxay ahaayeen Gaad iyo Aasheer. Kuwanu waa wiilashii Yacquub oo isaga ugu dhashay Fadan Araam. 27 Markaasaa Yacquub aabbihiis Isxaaq ugu yimid Mamre, iyo xagga Qiryad Arbac, taasuna waa Xebroon, oo ahayd meeshii Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq qariib ahaanta u degganaan jireen. 28 Isxaaq cimrigiisuna wuxuu ahaa boqol iyo siddeetan sannadood. 29 Isxaaqna wuu naf baxay, wuuna dhintay, oo wuxuu ku darmaday dadkiisii, isagoo duq ah oo cimri weyn; markaasay wiilashiisii Ceesaw iyo Yacquub isagii aaseen.

Jacob Returns to Bethel

35 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel(A) and settle there, and build an altar(B) there to God,(C) who appeared to you(D) when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”(E)

So Jacob said to his household(F) and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods(G) you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.(H) Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God,(I) who answered me in the day of my distress(J) and who has been with me wherever I have gone.(K) So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears,(L) and Jacob buried them under the oak(M) at Shechem.(N) Then they set out, and the terror of God(O) fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.(P)

Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz(Q) (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.(R) There he built an altar,(S) and he called the place El Bethel,[a](T) because it was there that God revealed himself to him(U) when he was fleeing from his brother.(V)

Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse,(W) died and was buried under the oak(X) outside Bethel.(Y) So it was named Allon Bakuth.[b]

After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[c](Z) God appeared to him again and blessed him.(AA) 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,[d] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[e](AB) So he named him Israel.

11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty[f];(AC) be fruitful and increase in number.(AD) A nation(AE) and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.(AF) 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.(AG)(AH) 13 Then God went up from him(AI) at the place where he had talked with him.

14 Jacob set up a stone pillar(AJ) at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering(AK) on it; he also poured oil on it.(AL) 15 Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[g](AM)

The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac(AN)

16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath,(AO) Rachel(AP) began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife(AQ) said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”(AR) 18 As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[h](AS) But his father named him Benjamin.[i](AT)

19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath(AU) (that is, Bethlehem(AV)). 20 Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day(AW) that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.(AX)

21 Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.(AY) 22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine(AZ) Bilhah,(BA) and Israel heard of it.

Jacob had twelve sons:

23 The sons of Leah:(BB)

Reuben the firstborn(BC) of Jacob,

Simeon, Levi, Judah,(BD) Issachar and Zebulun.(BE)

24 The sons of Rachel:

Joseph(BF) and Benjamin.(BG)

25 The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah:(BH)

Dan and Naphtali.(BI)

26 The sons of Leah’s servant Zilpah:(BJ)

Gad(BK) and Asher.(BL)

These were the sons of Jacob,(BM) who were born to him in Paddan Aram.(BN)

27 Jacob came home to his father Isaac(BO) in Mamre,(BP) near Kiriath Arba(BQ) (that is, Hebron),(BR) where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.(BS) 28 Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.(BT) 29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people,(BU) old and full of years.(BV) And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.(BW)
