1 Mosebog 35
1 Derpaa sagde Gud til Jakob: »Drag op til Betel og bliv der og byg der et Alter for Gud, som aabenbarede sig for dig, da du flygtede for din Broder Esau!«
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 Jakob sagde da til sit Hus og alle sine Folk: »Skaf de fremmede Guder, der findes hos eder, bort, rens eder og skift Klæder,
Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are amongst you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
3 og lad os drage op til Betel, for at jeg der kan bygge et Alter for Gud, der bønhørte mig i min Trængselstid og var med mig paa den Vej, jeg vandrede!«
Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
4 De gav saa Jakob alle de fremmede Guder, de førte med sig, og alle de Ringe, de havde i Ørene, og han gravede dem ned under Egen ved Sikem.
They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 Derpaa brød de op; og en Guds Rædsel kom over alle Byerne rundt om, saa de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.
They travelled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
6 Og Jakob kom med alle sine Folk til Luz i Kana'ans Land, det er Betel;
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7 og han byggede et Alter der og kaldte Stedet: Betels Gud, thi der havde Gud aabenbaret sig for ham, da han flygtede for sin Broder.
He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Saa døde Rebekkas Amme Debora, og hun blev jordet neden for Betel under Egen; derfor kaldte han den Grædeegen.
Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
9 Gud aabenbarede sig atter for Jakob efter hans Hjemkomst fra Paddan-Aram og velsignede ham;
God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
10 og Gud sagde til ham: »Dit Navn er Jakob; men herefter skal du ikke mere hedde Jakob; Israel skal være dit Navn!« Og han gav ham Navnet Israel.
God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
11 Derpaa sagde Gud til ham: »Jeg er Gud den Almægtige! Bliv frugtbar og mangfoldig! Et Folk, ja Folk i Hobetal skal nedstamme fra dig, og Konger skal udgaa af din Lænd;
God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
12 det Land, jeg gav Abraham og Isak, giver jeg dig, og dit Afkom efter dig giver jeg Landet!«
The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
13 Derpaa for Gud op fra ham paa det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham;
God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
14 og Jakob rejste en Støtte paa det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham, en Stenstøtte, og hældte et Drikoffer over den og udgød Olie paa den.
Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
15 Og Jakob kaldte det Sted, hvor Gud havde talet med ham, Betel.
Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.
16 Derpaa brød de op fra Betel, Da de endnu var et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, skulde Rakel føde, og hendes Fødselsveer var haarde.
They travelled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labour.
17 Midt under hendes haarde Fødselsveer sagde Jordemoderen til hende: »Frygt ikke, thi ogsaa denne Gang faar du en Søn!«
When she was in hard labour, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
18 Men da hun droges med Døden — thi det kostede hende Livet — gav hun ham Navnet Ben'oni; men Faderen kaldte ham Benjamin.
As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
19 Saa døde Rakel og blev jordet paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Betlehem;
Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).
20 og Jakob rejste en Stenstøtte paa hendes Grav; det er Rakels Gravstøtte, som staar endnu den Dag i Dag.
Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
21 Derpaa brød Israel op og opslog sit Telt hinsides Migdal Eder.
Israel travelled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
22 Men medens Israel boede i den Egn, gik Ruben hen og laa hos sin Faders Medhustru Bilha; og det kom Israel for Øre. Jakobs Sønner var tolv i Tal;
While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Leas Sønner: Ruben, Jakobs førstefødte, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issakar og Zebulon;
The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Rakels Sønner: Josef og Benjamin;
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Rakels Trælkvinde Bilhas Sønner: Dan og Naftali;
The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
26 Leas Trælkvinde Zilpas Sønner: Gad og Aser. Det var Jakobs Sønner, der fødtes ham i Paddan-Aram.
The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
27 Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre i Kirjat-Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde levet som fremmede.
Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
28 Isaks Leveaar var 180;
The days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.
29 saa gik Isak bort; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt, gammel og mæt af Dage. Og hans Sønner Esau og Jakob jordede ham,
Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
