創世記 35
1 上帝對雅各說：「起來！上伯特利去，住在那裏；要在那裏築一座壇給上帝，就是你逃避你哥哥以掃的時候向你顯現的那位。」
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 雅各就對他家中的人並一切與他同在的人說：「你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神，也要自潔，更換衣裳。
And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
3 我們要起來，上伯特利去，在那裏我要築一座壇給上帝，就是在我遭難的日子應允我的禱告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。」
And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter to God who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
4 他們就把外邦人的神像和他們耳朵上的環子交給雅各；雅各都藏在示劍那裏的橡樹底下。
And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
5 他們便起行前往。上帝使那周圍城邑的人都甚驚懼，就不追趕雅各的眾子了。
So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
6 於是雅各和一切與他同在的人到了迦南地的路斯，就是伯特利。
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 他在那裏築了一座壇，就給那地方起名叫伊勒‧伯特利；因為他逃避他哥哥的時候，上帝在那裏向他顯現。
And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
8 利百加的奶母底波拉死了，就葬在伯特利下邊橡樹底下；那棵樹名叫亞倫‧巴古。
And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
9 雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來，上帝又向他顯現，賜福與他，
And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
10 且對他說：「你的名原是雅各，從今以後不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列。」這樣，他就改名叫以色列。
And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.
11 上帝又對他說：「我是全能的上帝；你要生養眾多，將來有一族和多國的民從你而生，又有君王從你而出。
And God said to him, I am thy God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 我所賜給亞伯拉罕和以撒的地，我要賜給你與你的後裔。」
And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed after thee.
13 上帝就從那與雅各說話的地方升上去了。
And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
14 雅各便在那裏立了一根石柱，在柱子上奠酒，澆油。
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
15 雅各就給那地方起名叫伯特利。
And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
16 他們從伯特利起行，離以法他還有一段路程，拉結臨產甚是艱難。
[[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.
17 正在艱難的時候，收生婆對她說：「不要怕，你又要得一個兒子了。」
And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.
18 她將近於死，靈魂要走的時候，就給她兒子起名叫便‧俄尼；他父親卻給他起名叫便雅憫。
And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
19 拉結死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恆。
So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
20 雅各在她的墳上立了一統碑，就是拉結的墓碑，到今日還在。
And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
21 以色列起行前往，在以得臺那邊支搭帳棚。
And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
22 以色列住在那地的時候，呂便去與他父親的妾辟拉同寢，以色列也聽見了。 雅各共有十二個兒子。
And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 利亞所生的是雅各的長子呂便，還有西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、西布倫。
The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
24 拉結所生的是約瑟、便雅憫。
And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
25 拉結的使女辟拉所生的是但、拿弗他利。
And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
26 利亞的使女悉帕所生的是迦得、亞設。這是雅各在巴旦‧亞蘭所生的兒子。
And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 雅各來到他父親以撒那裏，到了基列‧亞巴的幔利，乃是亞伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方；基列‧亞巴就是希伯崙。
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
28 以撒共活了一百八十歲。
And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
29 以撒年紀老邁，日子滿足，氣絕而死，歸到他列祖那裏。他兩個兒子以掃、雅各把他埋葬了。
And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
