Genesis 35

1 Interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob: Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum.

And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abiicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra.

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

3 Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meæ, et socius fuit itineris mei.

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

4 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.

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

5 Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 Venit igitur Iacob Luzam, quæ est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel: ipse et omnis populus cum eo.

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

7 Ædificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei: ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum.

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.

8 Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccæ, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

9 Apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mespotamia Syriæ, benedixitque ei,

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israel,

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

11 dixitque ei: Ego Deus omnipotens, cresce, et multiplicare: gentes, et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur.

And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12 Terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te.

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

13 Et recessit ab eo.

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

14 Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus: libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum:

And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 vocansque nomen loci illius, Bethel.

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

16 Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quæ ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel,

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari cœpit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

18 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.

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quæ ducit Ephratam, hæc est Bethlehem.

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

20 Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in præsentem diem.

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem Gregis.

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22 Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui: quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Iacob duodecim.

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Filii Liæ: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Iudas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Filii Balæ ancillæ Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 Filii Zelphæ ancillæ Liæ: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriæ.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, civitatem Arbee, hæc est Hebron: in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Consumptusque ætate mortuus est: et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum: et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui.

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
