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!«

And God saith unto Jacob, 'Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy 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,

And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are] with him, 'Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse 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!«

and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'

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.

And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;

5 Derpaa brød de op; og en Guds Rædsel kom over alle Byerne rundt om, saa de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.

and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.

6 Og Jakob kom med alle sine Folk til Luz i Kana'ans Land, det er Betel;

And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] 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.

and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing 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.

And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name 'Oak of weeping.'

9 Gud aabenbarede sig atter for Jakob efter hans Hjemkomst fra Paddan-Aram og velsignede ham;

And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth 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.

and God saith to him, 'Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name 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;

And God saith to him, 'I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;

12 det Land, jeg gav Abraham og Isak, giver jeg dig, og dit Afkom efter dig giver jeg Landet!«

and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac — to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'

13 Derpaa for Gud op fra ham paa det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham;

And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken 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.

And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;

15 Og Jakob kaldte det Sted, hvor Gud havde talet med ham, Betel.

and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake 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.

And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;

17 Midt under hendes haarde Fødselsveer sagde Jordemoderen til hende: »Frygt ikke, thi ogsaa denne Gang faar du en Søn!«

and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, 'Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.'

18 Men da hun droges med Døden — thi det kostede hende Livet — gav hun ham Navnet Ben'oni; men Faderen kaldte ham Benjamin.

And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

19 Saa døde Rakel og blev jordet paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Betlehem;

and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,

20 og Jakob rejste en Stenstøtte paa hendes Grav; det er Rakels Gravstøtte, som staar endnu den Dag i Dag.

and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

21 Derpaa brød Israel op og opslog sit Telt hinsides Migdal Eder.

And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;

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;

and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.

23 Leas Sønner: Ruben, Jakobs førstefødte, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issakar og Zebulon;

And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Rakels Sønner: Josef og Benjamin;

Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Rakels Trælkvinde Bilhas Sønner: Dan og Naftali;

And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 Leas Trælkvinde Zilpas Sønner: Gad og Aser. Det var Jakobs Sønner, der fødtes ham i Paddan-Aram.

And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-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.

And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

28 Isaks Leveaar var 180;

And the days of Isaac are a 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,

and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
