1 Na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Kɔ Bet-El kɔtena hɔ. Sɛ wudu hɔ a, si afɔremuka ma me. Me na miyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ wo bere a na woreguan afi wo nua Esau nkyɛn no.”

2 Enti Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne fifo ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa se, “Monsɛe mo anyame a mode wɔn fi amannɔne bae no nyinaa. Munnwira mo ho, na monsesa mo ntade nso.” 3 Ɔtoaa so se, “Yɛrebetu kwan akɔ Bet-El. Na sɛ yedu hɔ a, yebesi afɔremuka ama Onyankopɔn a otiee me mpaebɔ wɔ mʼamanehunu mu, na ɔkaa me ho wɔ mʼakwantu mu no.” 4 Enti wɔn nyinaa de wɔn ahoni ne asokaa maa Yakob. Yakob tuu fam wɔ odum bi ase wɔ Sekem, de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ hɔ. 5 Na wosii mu. Wɔrekɔ no, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nkurow a wɔfaa so no nyinaa mu nnipa no hu a ɛno nti obiara antumi antaa wɔn.

6 Yakob ne ne nkurɔfo a wɔka ne ho no beduu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no. 7 Osii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, too hɔ din El-Bet-El, efisɛ ɛhɔ na bere a ɔreguan afi ne nua Esau nkyɛn no, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no.

8 Eyi akyi no, Debora a ɔyɛ Rebeka bagyigyefo no wu ma wosiee no wɔ odum bi a ɛwɔ Bet-El bon mu no ase. Efi saa bere no, wɔtoo beae hɔ din Alon-Bakut, a ne nkyerɛase ne Agyaadwotwa Dum.

9 Yakob fi Paddan-Aram beduu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn san yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no. 10 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔfrɛ wo Yakob de, nanso efi nnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel a ne nkyerɛase ne Onipa a ɔne Onyankopɔn adi asi.” Enti Onyankopɔn too ne din se Israel.

11 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Mene Onyankopɔn tumfo no. Wʼase nnɔ, na wʼase mfɛe. Ɔman ne aman asafo befi wo mu aba. Saa ara na ahemfo nso befi wo mu aba. 12 Mede asase a mede maa Abraham ne Isak no bɛma wo.

14 Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Ɔsan de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho. 15 Yakob too beae a Onyankopɔn ne no kasae no Bet-El, a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn fi.

16 Yakob ne ne fifo sii mu fii Bet-El, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Efrat. Wɔrekɔ no, awo kaa Rahel wɔ akwantemfi. 17 Bere a ɔreko awo no, ɔbea ɔwogyefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.” 18 Nanso Rahel koo awo tɔe.
