Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.
Pada suatu hari Allah berkata kepada Yakub, "Akulah Allah yang menampakkan diri kepadamu ketika engkau lari dari abangmu Esau. Pergilah segera ke Betel. Tinggallah di situ dan dirikanlah sebuah mezbah bagi-Ku."
2 Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:
Lalu Yakub berkata kepada keluarganya dan kepada semua orang yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia, "Kita akan berangkat dari sini dan pergi ke Betel. Di situ saya akan mendirikan mezbah bagi Allah yang telah menolong saya pada masa kesukaran saya dan yang telah melindungi saya ke mana saja saya pergi. Jadi buanglah patung dewa-dewa asing yang ada padamu; lakukanlah upacara pembersihan diri dan kenakanlah pakaian yang bersih."
3 And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.
4 Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.
Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung dewa asing yang ada pada mereka dan juga anting-anting mereka. Semua benda itu ditanam Yakub di bawah pohon besar di dekat kota Sikhem.
5 So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.
Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah meliputi penduduk kota-kota sekitar dengan rasa takut, sehingga mereka tidak mengejar Yakub dan rombongannya.
6 And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.
Lalu sampailah mereka di tanah Kanaan di kota Betel yang dahulu bernama Lus.
7 And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.
Di situ Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamakan tempat itu "El-Betel", karena Allah telah menampakkan diri kepadanya di situ ketika ia lari dari abangnya.
8 And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.
Di sana juga Debora, inang pengasuh Ribka, meninggal lalu dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar di sebelah selatan kota itu. Itulah sebabnya pohon itu dinamakan "Pohon Tangis".
9 Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,
Setelah Yakub kembali dari Mesopotamia, Allah menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya dan memberkatinya.
10 Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.
Kata Allah kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan disebut lagi Yakub, tetapi Israel." Demikianlah Allah menamakan dia Israel.
11 And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;
Lalu kata Allah pula, "Akulah Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Hendaklah engkau beranak cucu yang banyak! Engkau akan menurunkan bangsa-bangsa dan menjadi bapak leluhur raja-raja.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.
Negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada Abraham dan Ishak, akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu."
13 Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.
Setelah itu Allah meninggalkan Yakub.
14 And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.
Di tempat Allah berbicara kepada Yakub, ia menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan. Lalu batu itu dipersembahkannya kepada Allah dengan menuangkan anggur dan minyak zaitun di atasnya.
15 And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.
Tempat itu dinamakannya "Betel".
16 So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.
Sesudah itu Yakub dan rombongannya meninggalkan Betel. Ketika mereka masih agak jauh dari Efrata, tibalah saatnya bagi Rahel untuk melahirkan. Tetapi anaknya sukar lahir.
17 And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.
Ketika sakit bersalinnya memuncak, berkatalah bidan kepadanya, "Besarkan hatimu, Rahel, anakmu laki-laki lagi."
18 And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.
Tetapi Rahel sudah mendekati ajalnya, dan ketika ia hendak menghembuskan napasnya yang penghabisan, dinamakannya anak itu Ben-Oni tetapi ayahnya menamakannya Benyamin.
19 So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).
Setelah Rahel meninggal, ia dikuburkan di sisi jalan yang menuju ke Efrata, yang sekarang bernama Betlehem.
20 And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.
Yakub menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan di situ, dan sampai hari ini pun kuburan Rahel masih ditandai oleh batu itu.
21 And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.
Sesudah itu Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya, lalu memasang kemahnya di suatu tempat lewat menara Eder.
22 Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.
Sementara mereka ada di tempat itu Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, selir ayahnya. Hal itu didengar Yakub, dan ia menjadi sangat marah. Yakub mempunyai dua belas anak laki-laki.
23 Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
Anak-anak Lea ialah Ruben (anak sulung Yakub), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakhar dan Zebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
Anak-anak Rahel ialah Yusuf dan Benyamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;
Anak-anak Bilha, hamba Rahel ialah Dan serta Naftali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.
Anak-anak Zilpa, hamba Lea ialah Gad dan Asyer. Anak-anak itu lahir di Mesopotamia.
27 And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.
Lalu sampailah Yakub kepada Ishak ayahnya, di tempat tinggalnya di Mamre dekat Hebron. (Dulu Abraham kakeknya, juga tinggal di sana).
28 And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.
Pada usia amat tua, yaitu seratus delapan puluh tahun, Ishak meninggal lalu dikuburkan oleh Esau dan Yakub, anak-anaknya.
29 Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
