創世記 35

1 上帝對雅各說：「起來！上伯特利去，住在那裏；要在那裏築一座壇給上帝，就是你逃避你哥哥以掃的時候向你顯現的那位。」

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 didst flee from the face of Esau thy brother.'

2 雅各就對他家中的人並一切與他同在的人說：「你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神，也要自潔，更換衣裳。

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 我們要起來，上伯特利去，在那裏我要築一座壇給上帝，就是在我遭難的日子應允我的禱告、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 他們就把外邦人的神像和他們耳朵上的環子交給雅各；雅各都藏在示劍那裏的橡樹底下。

And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth which was by Shechem.

5 他們便起行前往。上帝使那周圍城邑的人都甚驚懼，就不追趕雅各的眾子了。

And they journeyed; and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6 於是雅各和一切與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 他在那裏築了一座壇，就給那地方起名叫伊勒‧伯特利；因為他逃避他哥哥的時候，上帝在那裏向他顯現。

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，就葬在伯特利下邊橡樹底下；那棵樹名叫亞倫‧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 雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來，上帝又向他顯現，賜福與他，

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

10 且對他說：「你的名原是雅各，從今以後不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列。」這樣，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 上帝又對他說：「我是全能的上帝；你要生養眾多，將來有一族和多國的民從你而生，又有君王從你而出。

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 我所賜給亞伯拉罕和以撒的地，我要賜給你與你的後裔。」

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 上帝就從那與雅各說話的地方升上去了。

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

14 雅各便在那裏立了一根石柱，在柱子上奠酒，澆油。

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

15 雅各就給那地方起名叫伯特利。

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

16 他們從伯特利起行，離以法他還有一段路程，拉結臨產甚是艱難。

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 正在艱難的時候，收生婆對她說：「不要怕，你又要得一個兒子了。」

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto her: 'Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.'

18 她將近於死，靈魂要走的時候，就給她兒子起名叫便‧俄尼；他父親卻給他起名叫便雅憫。

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 拉結死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恆。

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

20 雅各在她的墳上立了一統碑，就是拉結的墓碑，到今日還在。

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，在以得臺那邊支搭帳棚。

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond Migdal-eder.

22 以色列住在那地的時候，呂便去與他父親的妾辟拉同寢，以色列也聽見了。 雅各共有十二個兒子。

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 利亞所生的是雅各的長子呂便，還有西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、西布倫。

the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;

24 拉結所生的是約瑟、便雅憫。

the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 拉結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 利亞的使女悉帕所生的是迦得、亞設。這是雅各在巴旦‧亞蘭所生的兒子。

and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27 雅各來到他父親以撒那裏，到了基列‧亞巴的幔利，乃是亞伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方；基列‧亞巴就是希伯崙。

And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 以撒共活了一百八十歲。

And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.

29 以撒年紀老邁，日子滿足，氣絕而死，歸到他列祖那裏。他兩個兒子以掃、雅各把他埋葬了。

And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
