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.

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.”

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;

²Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

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.

³Let us 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 in the way which I went.”

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.

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.

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

⁵They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

⁸Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

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

⁹God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

¹²The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land.”

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

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

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.

¹⁴Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

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

¹⁵Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel.”

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.

¹⁶They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

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

¹⁷When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

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

¹⁸It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, “Benoni” means “son of my trouble.” but his father named him Benjamin. “Benjamin” means “son of my right hand.”

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

¹⁹Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

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

²⁰Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

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

²¹Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

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

²²It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

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;

²³The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴ny zana-dRahely kosa dia Josefa sy Benjamina;

²⁴The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

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

²⁵The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

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

²⁶The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

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

²⁷Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

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.

²⁸The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

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.

²⁹Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
