¹And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

¹[Ny nankanesan'i Jakoba tany Betela, sy ny nisehoan'Andriamanitra taminy indray] Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Jakoba : Miaingà, miakara any Betela ianao ka monena any; ary manorena alitara any ho an'Andriamanitra Izay niseho taminao, fony ianao nandositra ny tavan'i Esao rahalahinao.

²Then 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:

²Dia hoy Jakoba tamin'izay tao an-tranony mbamin'izay rehetra nomba azy: Ario ireo andriamani-kafa, izay ao aminareo, dia madiova, sady ovay ny fitafianareo;

³And 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.

³ary andeha hiainga isika ka hiakatra any Betela; ary hanao alitara any aho ho an'Andriamanitra, Izay nihaino ahy tamin'ny andron'ny fahoriako ary nomba ahy tamin'ny lalana izay nalehako.

⁴And 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.

⁴Dia natolony teo amin'i Jakoba ny andriamani-kafa rehetra izay notànany sy ny kavina izay teny an-tsofiny; ary dia nalevin'i Jakoba tao am-pototry ny hazo terebinta izay tao akaikin'i Sekema ireo.

⁵And 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.

⁵Dia lasa nandeha izy; ary nisy tahotra avy amin'Andriamanitra nahazo ny tanàna manodidina azy, ka tsy nanenjika ny zanak'i Jakoba izy.

⁶So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

⁶Ary Jakoba dia tonga tany Lozy (Betela izany), izay any amin'ny tany Kanana, dia izy sy ny olona rehetra izay nomba azy.

⁷And 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.

⁷Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-betela no anaran'izany tany izany; fa teo no nisehoan'Andriamanitra taminy, fony izy nandositra ny tavan'ny rahalahiny.

⁸But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

⁸Ary maty Debora, mpitaiza an-dRebeka, ka naleviny tao am-pototr'i Betela, teo ambanin'ny hazo ôka; ary ny anaran'io dia nataony hoe Alona-bakota.

⁹And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

⁹Ary Andriamanitra niseho indray tamin'i Jakoba, raha tonga avy tany Mesopotamia izy, ka nitahy azy.

¹⁰And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

¹⁰Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Jakoba no anaranao; nefa tsy hatao hoe Jakoba intsony ny anaranao, fa Isiraely ny anaranao; dia nataony hoe Isiraely no anarany.

¹¹And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

¹¹Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Izaho no Andriamanitra Tsitoha; maroa fara sy mihabetsaha; firenena maro no hiseho avy aminao, ary hisy mpanjaka amin'ny haterakao;

¹²And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

¹²ary ny tany izay nomeko an'i Abrahama sy Isaka dia homeko anao; ary ny taranakao mandimby anao koa no homeko ny tany.

¹³And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

¹³Ary Andriamanitra niakatra niala taminy, teo amin'ilay niresahany taminy.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴Ary Jakoba dia nanorina tsangam-bato teo amin'ny fitoerana izay niresahany taminy ka nanidina fanatitra aidina teo aminy sady nampidina diloilo teo aminy koa.

¹⁵And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

¹⁵Ary ny anaran'ny tany izay niresahan'Andriamanitra taminy dia nataon'i Jakoba hoe Betela.

¹⁶And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

¹⁶[Ny nialan'i Jakoba tany Betela, sy ny nahafatesan-dRahely tany an-dalana, ary ny anaran'ny zanakalahin'i Jakoba roa ambin'ny folo] Dia nifindra niala tany Betela izy; ary nony efa kely foana no sisa tsy nahatongavany tao Efrata, dia nihetsi-jaza Rahely sady sarotiny.

¹⁷And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

¹⁷Ary nony sarotiny toy izany izy, dia hoy ny mpampivelona taminy: Aza matahotra ianao; fa izato koa no zazalahy ho anao.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Ary rehefa hiala aina (fa maty izy), dia nataony hoe Benony ny anarany; fa ny rainy kosa nanao azy hoe Benjamina.

¹⁹And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

¹⁹Dia maty Rahely ka nalevina teo amin'ny lalana mankany Efrata (Betlehema izany).

²⁰And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

²⁰Ary Jakoba nanorina tsangam-bato teo ambonin'ny fasany, dia ilay tsangam-bato ao amin'ny fasan-dRahely mandraka androany.

²¹And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

²¹Dia lasa nifindra Isiraely ka nanorina ny lainy tao ankoatr'i Migdaledera.

²²And 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:

²²Ary raha nonina teo amin'izany tany izany Isiraely, dia avy Robena ka nandry tamin'i Bila, vaditsindranon-drainy; ary nahare izany Isiraely.

²³The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

²³Ary ny zanakalahin'i Jakoba dia roa ambin'ny folo mirahalahy: ny zanak'i Lea dia Robena, lahimatoan'i Jakoba, sy Simeona sy Levy sy Joda sy Isakara ary Zebolona;

²⁴The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

²⁴ny zana-dRahely kosa dia Josefa sy Benjamina;

²⁵And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

²⁵ary ny zanak'i Bila, ankizivavin-dRahely, kosa dia Dana sy Naftaly;

²⁶And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

²⁶ary ny zanak'i Zilpa, ankizivavin'i Lea, kosa dia Gada sy Asera. Ireo no zanakalahin'i Jakoba izay naterany tany Mesopotamia.

²⁷And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

²⁷Ary Jakoba nankany amin'Isaka rainy tany Mamre, any Kiriat-arba (Hebrona izany), izay nivahinian'i Abrahama sy Isaka.

²⁸And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

²⁸Ary ny andro niainan'Isaka dia valo-polo amby zato taona.Dia niala aina Isaka ka maty, ary voangona any amin'ny razany, rehefa tratrantitra sady ela niainana izy; ary dia nandevina azy Esao sy Jakoba zananilahy.

²⁹And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

²⁹Dia niala aina Isaka ka maty, ary voangona any amin'ny razany, rehefa tratrantitra sady ela niainana izy; ary dia nandevina azy Esao sy Jakoba zananilahy.
