Genesis 35
1 [Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
След това Бог каза на Якова: Стани, иди на Ветил и живей там; и там издигни олтар на Бога, Който ти се яви, когато бягаше от лицето на брата си Исава.
2 So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
Тогава Яков каза на домочадието си и на всичките, които бяха с него: Махнете чуждите богове, които са между вас, очистете се и променете дрехите си;
3 Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
и да станем да отидем във Ветил, и там да издигна олтар на Бога, Който ме послуша в деня на бедствието ми и беше с мене в пътя, по който ходех.
4 So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
И тъй, те дадоха на Якова всичките чужди богове, що бяха в ръцете им и обиците, които бяха на ушите им; и Яков ги скри под дъба, който бе при Сихем.
5 As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
След това си тръгнаха; и страх Божий беше върху градовете, които бяха наоколо им, така че не преследваха Якововите синове.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
И тъй, Яков дойде в Луз, ( който е Ветил ), в Ханаанската земя, той и всичките люде, които бяха с него.
7 There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
И там издигна олтар и наименува мястото Ел-Ветил, защото когато бягаше от лицето на брата си, там му се яви Бог.
8 Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
По това време умря Девора, Ревекината бавачка, и я погребаха под дъба, по-долу от Ветил; затова се наименува Дъба на Плача.
9 After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
И Бог пак се яви на Якова, след завръщането му от Падан-арам, и го благослови.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
Каза му Бог: Името ти наистина е Яков; но не ще се именуваш вече Яков, но Израил ще ти бъде името. И наименува го Израил.
11 Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
Бог му рече още: Аз Съм Бог Всемогъщий; плоди се и размножавай се. Народ, даже редица народи ще произлязат от тебе, и царе ще излязат от чреслата ти;
12 The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
и земята, която дадох на Авраама и на Исаака, на тебе ще я дам; и на потомството ти след тебе ще дам земята.
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Тогава Бог се възнесе от него, от мястото, гдето му говори.
14 Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
И Яков издигна стълб на мястото, гдето му говори, каменен стълб и принесе възлияние на него и го поля с масло.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
И Яков наименува мястото, гдето Бог говори с него, Ветил.
16 Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
След това тръгнаха от Ветил; а като стигнаха близо до Ефрата, Рахил роди и много се мъчеше при раждането си.
17 When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
А като се мъчеше да роди, бабата й рече: Не бой се, защото имаш още един син.
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
А като предаваше душа, (защото умря), Рахил го наименува Венони, а баща му го нарече Вениамин.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Така Рахил умря и я погребаха край пътя за Ефрата, (която е Витлеем).
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
И над гроба й Яков издигна стълб; той е и до днес стълб на Рахилиния гроб.
21 Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
Подир това Израил тръгна и разпъна шатрата си оттатък Мигдал-едер.
22 While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
И когато Израил живееше в оная земя, Рувим отиде и лежа с наложницата на баща си Вала; и Израил се научи за това. Якововите синове бяха дванадесет души:
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
синовете на Лия: Рувим, Якововия първороден, Симеон, Левий, Юда Исахар и Завулон;
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
синовете от Рахил: Иосиф и Вениамин;
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
а синовете на Рахилината слугиня Вала: Дан и Нефталим;
26 The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
и синовете на Лиината слугиня Зелфа: Гад и Асир. Тия са Якововите синове, които му се родиха в Падан-арам.
27 Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
После Яков дойде при баща си Исаака в Мамврий, в Кириат-арва, (който е Хеврон), дето Авраам и Исаак бяха престояли.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
И дните на Исаака станаха сто и осемдесет години.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
И Исаак като издъхна, умря стар и сит от дни, прибра се при людете си и; и синовете му Исав и Яков го погребаха.
