¹ Irikoy ne Yakuba se: «Tun ka ziji ka koy Betel, ka goro noodin. Noodin mo ni ga sargay feema fo cina Irikoy se, nga kaŋ bangay ni se waato kaŋ ni zuru ni nya izo Isuwa se.»

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.

² Saaya din Yakuba ne nga almayaaley da boro kulu kaŋ go a banda se: «Wa toorey kaŋ yaŋ go araŋ do darandi. Wa araŋ boŋ hanandi, araŋ ma araŋ bankaarayey mo barmay.

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:

³ Iri ma tun ka ziji ka koy Betel. Ay mo, ay ga sargay feema cina Irikoy se, nga kaŋ tu ay se ay gurzugay zaaro ra. A go ay banda mo fondo kulu kaŋ ay ga gana ra.»

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.

⁴ I toorey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go i kambe ra, i n'i no Yakuba se, ngey da korbayey kaŋ go i hangey gaa. Yakuba mo n'i tugu tuuri nyaŋo kaŋ go Sekem meyo gaa din cire.

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.

⁵ I binde dira. Irikoy humburkumay bambata go kwaarey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go i windanta boŋ. I mana Yakuba izey ce gana mo.

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.

⁶ Yakuba binde kaa Luz, wo kaŋ go Kanaana laabo ra, kaŋ ga ti Betel, nga nda borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda.

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

⁷ A na sargay feema fo cina noodin, a na nango maa daŋ El-Betel. Zama noodin no Irikoy bangay a se waato kaŋ a zuru nga nya izo se.

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.

⁸ Rabeka gaaykwa Debora bu. I n'a fiji mo Betel, shen* tuuri nya fo cire, ka nango maa daŋ Allon-Bakut.

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

⁹ Irikoy ye ka bangay Yakuba se waato kaŋ a kaa ka fun Padan-Aram, a n'a albarkandi mo.

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

¹⁰ Irikoy ne a se mo: «Doŋ ni maa ga ti Yakuba. I si ye ka ni maa ce Yakuba koyne, amma ni maa ga ciya Israyla*.» A binde n'a maa daŋ Israyla.

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.

¹¹ Irikoy ne a se koyne: «Ay no ga ti Irikoy, Hina-Kulu-Koyo. Ni ma yulwa, ma hay ize boobo ka tonton. Dumi fo da dumi jama no ga fun ni gaa. Bonkooniyaŋ mo ga fatta ni banda gaa.

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;

¹² Laabo kaŋ ay na Ibrahim da Isaka no, ay g'a no ni mo se. Ni banda kaŋ yaŋ ga ni gana, ay ga laabo no ngey mo se.»

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.

¹³ Irikoy binde tun k'a naŋ, noodin kaŋ a salaŋ d'a.

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

¹⁴ Kala Yakuba na fonguyaŋ hari te noodin kaŋ Irikoy salaŋ d'a, sanda tondiyaŋ no a dake care boŋ ka haŋyaŋ sargay* soogu a boŋ, a na ji soogu a boŋ mo.

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.

¹⁵ Koyne, Yakuba na nango kaŋ Irikoy salaŋ d'a din maa daŋ Betel.

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

¹⁶ A tun Betel. I dira. I ga ba ka to Efrata kala hay-zaŋay na Rahila di, a hay-zaŋa kaa mo da taabi.

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

¹⁷ A ciya binde, saaya kaŋ a go hay-zaŋay kankamo ra, kala fuuma dumbukwa ne a se: «Ma si humburu, zama sohõ ni du ize aru fo koyne.»

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.

¹⁸ A ciya mo, saaya kaŋ a fundo ga ba ka fun (zama a bu no), a na izo maa daŋ Ben-Oni, amma baabo n'a maa daŋ Benyamin.

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.

¹⁹ Rahila binde bu. I n'a fiji Efrata, kaŋ ga ti Baytlahami fonda jinde gaa.

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

²⁰ Yakuba na tondi kuuku fo sinji a saara boŋ. Nga no ga ti Rahila saara tondo hala ka kaa hunkuna.

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

²¹ Israyla mo na nga diraw te. A na nga kuuru fuwo sinji Edar cinaro se jine.

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

²² A go no mo, alwaato kaŋ Israyla goono ga goro laabo din ra, Ruben koy ka kani nda Bila, nga baabo wahayo. Israyla mo maa baaru. Israyla ize arey binde, i way cindi hinka no:

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:

²³ Laya izey neeya: Ruben, kaŋ ga ti Yakuba hay-jina, da Simeyon, da Lawi, da Yahuda, da Isakar, da Zabluna.

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

²⁴ Rahila izey mo neeya: Yusufu nda Benyamin.

²⁴The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

²⁵ Rahila koŋŋa Bila izey neeya: Dan da Naftali.

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

²⁶ Laya koŋŋa Zilpa izey mo neeya: Gad da Aser. Woodin yaŋ ga ti Yakuba ize arey kaŋ yaŋ i hay a se Padan-Aram.

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

²⁷ Yakuba mo koy nga baabo Isaka do. A go Mamre, Ciriyat-Arba ra, kaŋ ga ti Hebron, nango kaŋ Ibrahim da Isaka na yawtaray gora te.

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

²⁸ Isaka jirbey binde, jiiri zangu nda wahakku no.

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

²⁹ Isaka mo na nga biya taŋ ka bu. I n'a margu nga kaayey banda. Dottijo zeeno no kaŋ kungu nda ndunnya. A izey Isuwa nda Yakuba n'a fiji.

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.
