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。”
About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
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。
In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.
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。”
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”
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。
Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.
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。
And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.
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 so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people 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 an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there, God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
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。
About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’
9 雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来， 神又向他显现，赐福与他，
Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he 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。
saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him 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 he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from 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 that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”
13 神就从那与雅各说话的地方升上去了。
And he withdrew from him.
14 雅各便在那里立了一根石柱，在柱子上奠酒，浇油。
In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,
15 雅各就给那地方起名叫伯特利。
and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’
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。
Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,
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。”
because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”
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。
Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.
19 拉结死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恒。
And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.
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 erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.
21 以色列起行前往，在以得台那边支搭帐棚。
Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.
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 when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now 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 Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 拉结所生的是约瑟、便雅悯。
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 拉结的使女辟拉所生的是但、拿弗他利。
The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.
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。
The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who 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 then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 以撒共活了一百八十岁。
And the days of Isaac were completed: one 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 being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
