Genesis 35
1 About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
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.
2 In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.
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!
3 Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”
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.
4 Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.
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.
5 And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.
Saa rejste de; og Rædsel fra Gud var over de Stæder, som laa rundt omkring dem, at de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.
6 And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.
Og Jakob kom til Lus, som er i Kanaans Land, det er Bethel, han og alt Folket, som var med ham.
7 And he built an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there, God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
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.
8 About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’
Og Debora, Rebekkas Amme, døde og blev begraven neden for Bethel, under Egen, og han kaldte dens Navn Graadseg.
9 Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
Og Gud aabenbaredes atter for Jakob, da han kom fra Paddan-Aram, og han velsignede ham.
10 saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,
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.
11 and he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from your loins.
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.
12 And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”
Og det Land, som jeg har givet Abraham og Isak, det vil jeg give dig, og jeg vil give din Sæd efter dig Landet.
13 And he withdrew from him.
Og Gud for op fra ham, fra det Sted, hvor han talede med ham,
14 In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,
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.
15 and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’
Og Jakob kaldte det Steds Navn, hvor Gud talede med ham, Bethel.
16 Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,
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.
17 because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”
Og det skete, da hun havde en haard Fødsel, at Jordemoderen sagde til hende: Frygt ikke; thi ogsaa her har du en Søn.
18 Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.
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.
19 And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.
Saa døde Rakel og blev begraven paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.
Og Jakob satte et Mindesmærke over hendes Grav; dette er Rakels Gravs Mindesmærke indtil denne Dag.
21 Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.
Og Israel rejste derfra og opslog sit Telt paa hin Side Migdal Eder.
22 And when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
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.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Leas Sønner vare: Jakobs førstefødte, Ruben, og Simeon og Levi og Juda og Isaskar og Sebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Rakels Sønner vare: Josef og Benjamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.
Og Rakels Pige Bilhas Sønner vare: Dan og Nafthali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
Og Leas Pige Silpas Sønner vare: Gad og Aser; disse ere Jakobs Sønner, som bleve ham fødte i Paddan-Aram.
27 And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre, udi Kirjath-Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde været fremmede.
28 And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.
Og Isak blev hundrede Aar og firsindstyve Aar gammel.
29 And being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
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.
