< Genesis 35 >

1 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob surge et ascende Bethel et habita ibi facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum
2 So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua ait abicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra
3 Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
surgite et ascendamus in Bethel ut faciamus ibi altare Deo qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae et fuit socius itineris mei
4 So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.
dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant et inaures quae erant in auribus eorum at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum quae est post urbem Sychem
5 As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
cumque profecti essent terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes
6 So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
venit igitur Iacob Luzam quae est in terra Chanaan cognomento Bethel ipse et omnis populus cum eo
7 There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
aedificavitque ibi altare et appellavit nomen loci Domus Dei ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.
eodem tempore mortua est Debbora nutrix Rebeccae et sepulta ad radices Bethel subter quercum vocatumque est nomen loci quercus Fletus
9 After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae benedixitque ei
10 And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.
dicens non vocaberis ultra Iacob sed Israhel erit nomen tuum et appellavit eum Israhel
11 And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
dixitque ei ego Deus omnipotens cresce et multiplicare gentes et populi nationum erunt ex te reges de lumbis tuis egredientur
12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”
terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac dabo tibi et semini tuo post te
13 Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.
et recessit ab eo
14 So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus ei fuerat Deus libans super eum libamina et effundens oleum
15 Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
vocansque nomen loci Bethel
16 Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
egressus inde venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Efratham in qua cum parturiret Rahel
17 During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”
ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit dixitque ei obsetrix noli timere quia et hunc habebis filium
18 And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
egrediente autem anima prae dolore et inminente iam morte vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni id est filius doloris mei pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin id est filius dexterae
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
mortua est ergo Rahel et sepulta in via quae ducit Efratham haec est Bethleem
20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.
erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius hic est titulus monumenti Rahel usque in praesentem diem
21 Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
egressus inde fixit tabernaculum trans turrem Gregis
22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
cumque habitaret in illa regione abiit Ruben et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui quod illum minime latuit erant autem filii Iacob duodecim
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
filii Liae primogenitus Ruben et Symeon et Levi et Iudas et Isachar et Zabulon
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
filii Rahel Ioseph et Beniamin
25 The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
filii Balae ancillae Rahelis Dan et Nepthalim
26 And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
filii Zelphae ancillae Liae Gad et Aser hii filii Iacob qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamiam Syriae
27 Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre civitatem Arbee haec est Hebron in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac
28 And Isaac lived 180 years.
et conpleti sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum
29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
consumptusque aetate mortuus est et adpositus populo suo senex et plenus dierum et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui
