< Genesis 35 >

1 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.
Interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob: Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum.
2 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.
Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abiicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra.
3 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.
Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meæ, et socius fuit itineris mei.
4 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.
Dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant, et inaures quæ erant in auribus eorum: at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum, quæ est post urbem Sichem.
5 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.
Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Venit igitur Iacob Luzam, quæ est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel: ipse et omnis populus cum eo.
7 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.
Ædificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei: ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum.
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccæ, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
Apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mespotamia Syriæ, benedixitque ei,
10 And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.
dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israel,
11 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.
dixitque ei: Ego Deus omnipotens, cresce, et multiplicare: gentes, et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur.
12 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.
Terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te.
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
Et recessit ab eo.
14 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.
Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus: libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum:
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
vocansque nomen loci illius, Bethel.
16 [[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.
Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quæ ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel,
17 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.
ob difficultatem partus periclitari cœpit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.
18 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.
Egrediente autem anima præ dolore, et imminente iam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benomi, id est, filius doloris mei: pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin, id est, filius dextræ.
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quæ ducit Ephratam, hæc est Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in præsentem diem.
21 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.
Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem Gregis.
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui: quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Iacob duodecim.
23 The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
Filii Liæ: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Iudas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.
25 And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
Filii Balæ ancillæ Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.
26 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.
Filii Zelphæ ancillæ Liæ: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriæ.
27 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.
Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, civitatem Arbee, hæc est Hebron: in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.
29 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.
Consumptusque ætate mortuus est: et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum: et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui.
