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 to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest 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 to his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, 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 to 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 to Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [the] ear-rings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak 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 the terror of God was on the cities that [were] round 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 (that 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 erected there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God appeared to 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。

But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el, under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

9 雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來，上帝又向他顯現，賜福與他，

And God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-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 to 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 to him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from 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 to 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 talked 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 talked with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink-offering thereon, and he 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 but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

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 labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

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, which [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 a pillar on her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave to 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 the tower of Edar.

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, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard [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, who were born to him in Padan-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 to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah (which [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 eighty 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 to his people, [being] old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
