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 unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy 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。

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and 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。”

and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way 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 unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by 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 they journeyed: and a great terror was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

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。

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Beth-el), 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 place El-beth-el: because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of 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。

And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

9 雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来， 神又向他显现，赐福与他，

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and 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 unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy 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 unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy 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 unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

13 神就从那与雅各说话的地方升上去了。

And God went up from him in the place where he spake 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 he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.

15 雅各就给那地方起名叫伯特利。

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

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 they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had 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, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another 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, as her soul was in departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.

19 拉结死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恒。

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem).

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 upon her grave: the same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.

21 以色列起行前往，在以得台那边支搭帐棚。

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

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 it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of it. 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, Jacob’s firstborn, 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。

and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; 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。

and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Paddan-aram.

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 unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 以撒共活了一百八十岁。

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore 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 gathered unto his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
