创世记 35

1 神对雅各说：“起来！上伯特利去，住在那里；要在那里筑一座坛给 神，就是你逃避你哥哥以扫的时候向你显现的那位。”

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 you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

2 雅各就对他家中的人并一切与他同在的人说：“你们要除掉你们中间的外邦神，也要自洁，更换衣裳。

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 我们要起来，上伯特利去，在那里我要筑一座坛给 神，就是在我遭难的日子应允我的祷告、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 altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.

4 他们就把外邦人的神像和他们耳朵上的环子交给雅各；雅各都藏在示剑那里的橡树底下。

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 他们便起行前往。 神使那周围城邑的人都甚惊惧，就不追赶雅各的众子了。

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 于是雅各和一切与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 他在那里筑了一座坛，就给那地方起名叫伊勒·伯特利；因为他逃避他哥哥的时候， 神在那里向他显现。

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，就葬在伯特利下边橡树底下；那棵树名叫亚伦·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 雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来， 神又向他显现，赐福与他，

And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.

10 且对他说：“你的名原是雅各，从今以后不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列。”这样，他就改名叫以色列。

And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.

11 神又对他说：“我是全能的 神；你要生养众多，将来有一族和多国的民从你而生，又有君王从你而出。

And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.

12 我所赐给亚伯拉罕和以撒的地，我要赐给你与你的后裔。”

And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.

13 神就从那与雅各说话的地方升上去了。

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

14 雅各便在那里立了一根石柱，在柱子上奠酒，浇油。

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 雅各就给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 他们从伯特利起行，离以法他还有一段路程，拉结临产甚是艰难。

[[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.

17 正在艰难的时候，收生婆对她说：“不要怕，你又要得一个儿子了。”

And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.

18 她将近于死，灵魂要走的时候，就给她儿子起名叫便·俄尼；他父亲却给他起名叫便雅悯。

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 拉结死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恒。

So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.

20 雅各在她的坟上立了一统碑，就是拉结的墓碑，到今日还在。

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，在以得台那边支搭帐棚。

And it came to pass when Israel lived 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 以色列住在那地的时候，吕便去与他父亲的妾辟拉同寝，以色列也听见了。 雅各共有十二个儿子。

And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 利亚所生的是雅各的长子吕便，还有西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦、西布伦。

The sons of Lea, the firstborn of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.

24 拉结所生的是约瑟、便雅悯。

And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.

25 拉结的使女辟拉所生的是但、拿弗他利。

And the sons of Balla, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.

26 利亚的使女悉帕所生的是迦得、亚设。这是雅各在巴旦·亚兰所生的儿子。

And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.

27 雅各来到他父亲以撒那里，到了基列·亚巴的幔利，乃是亚伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方；基列·亚巴就是希伯 。

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岁。

And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.

29 以撒年纪老迈，日子满足，气绝而死，归到他列祖那里。他两个儿子以扫、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.
