Genesis 35

1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your brother.”

Derpå sagde Gud til Jakob: "Drag op til Betel og bliv der og byg der et Alter for Gud, som åbenbarede sig for dig, da du flygtede for din Broder Esau!"

2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

Jakob sagde da til sit Hus og alle sine Folk: "Skaf de fremmede Guder, der findes hos eder, bort, rens eder og skift Klæder,

3 Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”

og lad os drage op til Betel, for at jeg der kan bygge et Alter for Gud, der bønhørte mig i min Trængselstid og var med mig på den Vej, jeg vandrede!"

4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

De gav så Jakob alle de fremmede Guder, de førte med sig, og alle de Ringe, de havde i Ørene, og han gravede dem ned under Egen ved Sikem.

5 As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

Derpå brød de op; og en Guds Rædsel kom over alle Byerne rundt om, så de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.

6 So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

Og Jakob kom med alle sine Folk til Luz i Kana'ans Land, det er Betel;

7 He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from his brother.

og han byggede et Alter der og kaldte Stedet: Betels Gud, thi der havde Gud åbenbaret sig for ham, da han flygtede for sin Broder.

8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.

Så døde Rebekkas Amme Debora, og hun blev jordet neden for Betel under Egen; derfor kaldte han den Grædeegen.

9 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

Gud åbenbarede sig atter for Jakob efter hans Hjemkomst fra Paddan Aram og velsignede ham;

10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God called his name Israel.

og Gud sagde til ham: "Dit Navn er Jakob; men herefter skal du ikke mere hedde Jakob; Israel skal være dit Navn!" Og han gav ham Navnet Israel.

11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.

Derpå sagde Gud til ham: "Jeg er Gud den Almægtige! Bliv frugtbar og mangfoldig! Et Folk, ja Folk i Hobetal skal nedstamme fra dig, og. Konger skal udgå af din Lænd;

12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”

det Land, jeg gav Abraham og Isak, giver jeg dig, og dit Afkom efter dig giver jeg Landet!"

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

Derpå for Gud op fra ham på det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham;

14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.

og Jakob rejste en Støtte på det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham, en Stenstøtte, og hældte et Drikofer over den og udgød Olie på den.

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

Og Jakob kaldte det Sted, hvor Gud havde talet med ham, Betel.

16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.

Derpå brød de op fra Betel, Da de endnu var et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, skulde Rakel føde, og hendes Fødselsveer var hårde.

17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

Midt under hendes hårde Fødselsveer sagde Jordemoderen til hende: "Frygt ikke, thi også denne Gang får du en Søn!"

18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

Men da hun droges med Døden thi det kostede hende Livet gav hun ham Navnet Ben'oni; men Faderen kaldte ham Benjamin".

19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

Så døde Rakel og blev jordet på Vejen til Efrat, det er Betlehem;

20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.

og Jakob rejste en Stenstøtte på hendes Grav; det er Rakels Gravstøtte, som står endnu den Dag i Dag.

21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.

Derpå brød Israel op og opslog sit Telt hinsides Migdal Eder.

22 While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.

Men medens Israel boede i den Egn, gik Ruben hen og lå hos sin Faders Medhustru Bilha; og det kom Israel for Øre. Jakobs Sønner var tolv i Tal;

23 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

Leas Sønner: Ruben, Jakobs førstefødte, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issakar og Zebulon;

24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

Rakels Sønner: Josef og Benjamin;

25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.

Rakels Trælkvinde Bilhas Sønner: Dan og Naftali;

26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Leas Trælkvinde Zilpas Sønner: Gad og Aser. Det var Jakobs Sønner, der fødtes ham i Paddan Aram.

27 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.

Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre i Kirjat Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde levet som fremmede.

28 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.

Isaks Leveår var 180;

29 Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

så gik Isak bort; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt, gammel og mæt af Dage. Og hans Sønner Esau og Jakob jordede ham,
