1 Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Kɔ Bet-El kɔtena hɔ. Sɛ woduru hɔ a, si afɔrebukyia ma me. Me na meyii me ho adi kyerɛɛ wo ɛberɛ a na woredwane afiri wo nua Esau nkyɛn no.”

2 Enti, Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho nyinaa sɛ, “Monsɛe mo anyame a mode wɔn firi amanɔne baeɛ no nyinaa. Monwira mo ho, na monsesa mo ntadeɛ nso.” 3 Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Yɛrebɛtu ɛkwan akɔ Bet-El.

Yakob tuu fam wɔ odum bi ase wɔ Sekem, de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ hɔ. 5 Afei, wɔsiim. Wɔrekɔ no, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nkuro a wɔfaa so no nyinaa mu nnipa no hu a, ɛno enti obiara antumi anti wɔn.

6 Yakob ne ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no bɛduruu Lus a ɛno ara ne Bet-El a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no. 7 Ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, too hɔ edin El-Bet-El, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a ɔredwane afiri ne nua Esau nkyɛn no, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no.

9 Yakob firi Paddan-Aram bɛduruu Bet-El no, Onyankopɔn sane yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no, hyiraa no. 10 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ wɔfrɛ wo Yakob deɛ, nanso ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel a asekyerɛ ne Onipa a ɔne Onyankopɔn adi asie.

14 Afei, Yakob sii ɔbodum wɔ hɔ, hwiee afɔresa guu so, de bɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Ɔsane de afɔrengo sraa odum no ho. 15 Yakob too beaeɛ a Onyankopɔn ne no kasaeɛ no Bet-El, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn fie.

16 Yakob ne ne fiefoɔ siim firii Bet-El, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Efrat. Wɔrekɔ no, awoɔ kaa Rahel wɔ akwantemfi. 17 Ɛberɛ a ɔreko awoɔ no, ɔbaa ɔwogyefoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro na worebɛwo ɔbabarima bio.” 18 Nanso, Rahel koo awoɔ tɔeɛ.
