1 Mosebog 35

1 Og Gud sagde til Jakob: Gør dig rede, drag op til Bethel og bliv der, og byg der et Alter for den Gud, som aabenbaredes for dig, der du flyede for din Broder Esaus Ansigt.

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 Da sagde Jakob til sit Hus og til alle, som vare med ham: Bortkaster de fremmede Guder, som ere iblandt eder, og renser eder og omskifter eders Klæder!

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 Og lader os gøre os rede og drage op til Bethel, og jeg vil der bygge et Alter for den Gud, som bønhørte mig paa min Nøds Dag og har været med mig paa Vejen, som jeg har vandret.

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 Saa gave de Jakob alle de fremmede Guder, som vare i deres Hænder, og Ringene, som vare i deres Øren, og Jakob skjulte dem under Egen, som var ved Sikem.

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 Saa rejste de; og Rædsel fra Gud var over de Stæder, som laa rundt omkring dem, at de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.

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 Og Jakob kom til Lus, som er i Kanaans Land, det er Bethel, han og alt Folket, som var med ham.

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 Og han byggede der et Alter og kaldte det Sted El-Beth-El, fordi Gud var aabenbaret der for ham, da han flyede for sin Broder.

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 Og Debora, Rebekkas Amme, døde og blev begraven neden for Bethel, under Egen, og han kaldte dens Navn Graadseg.

And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.

9 Og Gud aabenbaredes atter for Jakob, da han kom fra Paddan-Aram, og han velsignede ham.

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

10 Og Gud sagde til ham: Dit Navn er Jakob; dit Navn skal ikke ydermere kaldes Jakob; men Israel skal være dit Navn; og han kaldte hans Navn Israel.

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 Og Gud sagde til ham: Jeg er den almægtige Gud, vær frugtbar og former dig, Folk og Folkehobe skal der vorde af dig, og Konger skulle udkomme af dine Lænder.

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 Og det Land, som jeg har givet Abraham og Isak, det vil jeg give dig, og jeg vil give din Sæd efter dig Landet.

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 Og Gud for op fra ham, fra det Sted, hvor han talede med ham,

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

14 Saa oprejste Jakob et Mindesmærke paa det Sted, hvor han talede med ham, et Mindesmærke af Sten, og øste Drikoffer derpaa og overøste det med Olie.

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 Og Jakob kaldte det Steds Navn, hvor Gud talede med ham, Bethel.

And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.

16 Og de rejste fra Bethel, og der de vare endnu ikkun et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, da fødte Rakel, og hun havde en haard Fødsel.

[[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 Og det skete, da hun havde en haard Fødsel, at Jordemoderen sagde til hende: Frygt ikke; thi ogsaa her har du en Søn.

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 Og det skete, der hendes Sjæl for ud — thi hun døde — da kaldte hun hans Navn Ben-Oni; men hans Fader kaldte ham Ben-Jamin.

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 Saa døde Rakel og blev begraven paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Bethlehem.

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

20 Og Jakob satte et Mindesmærke over hendes Grav; dette er Rakels Gravs Mindesmærke indtil denne Dag.

And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.

21 Og Israel rejste derfra og opslog sit Telt paa hin Side Migdal Eder.

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 Og det hændte sig, der Israel boede i dette Land, da gik Ruben hen og laa hos Bilha, sin Faders Medhustru, og Israel hørte det. Og Jakob havde tolv Sønner.

And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Leas Sønner vare: Jakobs førstefødte, Ruben, og Simeon og Levi og Juda og Isaskar og Sebulon.

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

24 Rakels Sønner vare: Josef og Benjamin.

And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Og Rakels Pige Bilhas Sønner vare: Dan og Nafthali.

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

26 Og Leas Pige Silpas Sønner vare: Gad og Aser; disse ere Jakobs Sønner, som bleve ham fødte i Paddan-Aram.

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 Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre, udi Kirjath-Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde været fremmede.

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 Og Isak blev hundrede Aar og firsindstyve Aar gammel.

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

29 Og Isak opgav Aanden og døde og blev samlet til sit Folk, gammel og mæt af Dage; og Esau og Jakob, hans Sønner, begrove ham.

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.
