Genesis 35

1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

天主對雅各伯說：「起來，上貝特耳去，住在那裏，為你昔日逃避你哥哥厄撒烏在那裏顯現給你的天主，築一祭壇。」

2 And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

雅各伯便對家人和跟隨他的人說：「你們應除去你們中間所有外邦的神像，並取潔，更換衣服，

3 and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

因為我門要起身上貝特耳去；在那裏我要給在我困苦的時日俯聽了我，在我所走的路上伴隨了我的天主，築一祭壇。」

4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.

眾人便將自己手中所有外邦的神像，所有的耳環，都交給了雅各伯；雅各伯就都埋在那靠近舍根的橡樹底下。

5 And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

當他們起程出發時，天主叫周圍的城邑都非常恐怖，為此誰也不敢追趕雅各伯的兒子。

6 And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

這樣，雅各伯和與他在一起的人，來到客納罕地的路次，即貝特耳；

7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

他在那裏築了一座祭壇。稱呼那地方為貝特耳，因為他逃避他哥哥時，天主曾在那裏顯現給他。

8 And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

其時黎貝加的乳母德波辣死了，就埋在貝加的下面的一株橡樹底下；為此給這橡樹起名叫「悲泣的橡樹。」

9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he had come from Padan-Aram, and blessed him.

雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來後，天主又顯現給他，再祝福。

10 And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.

他天主對他說：「你原叫雅各伯，但以後不再叫作雅各伯，卻要叫作以色列。」遂給他改名以色列。

11 And God said to him, I am the Almighty God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins.

天主又對他說：「我是全能的天主，你要生育繁殖；不但一個民族，而是一些民族要由你而生，許多君王要由你而生。

12 And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

我將賜給了亞巴郎和依撒格的土地賜給你；我也將這土地賜給你未來的後裔。」

13 And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him.

然後天主就在與他談話的地方，離開他，上升去了。

14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and poured on it a drink-offering, and poured oil on it.

雅各伯在天主與他談話地方，豎立了一根柱子，一根石柱；在上面行了奠祭，倒上油。

15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el.

雅各伯給天主與他談話的地方起名叫貝特耳。

16 And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed in childbirth; and it went hard with her in her childbearing.

他們由貝特耳起程出發，離厄弗辣大還有一段路程時，辣黑耳要生產，感覺難產。

17 And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.

正當難產之際，收生婆對她說：「不要怕，你這次還是生個男孩。」

18 And it came to pass as her soul was departing — for she died — that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.

辣黑耳將要斷氣快死的時候，給他起名叫本敖尼；但他的父親卻叫他本雅明。

19 And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.

辣黑耳死了，葬在去厄弗辣大，即白冷的路旁。

20 And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to [this] day.

雅各伯在她墳上立了一塊碑；這塊辣黑耳墳上的碑，至今尚存。

21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder.

以色列又起程前行，在米革達耳厄德爾的那一面支搭了帳幕。

22 And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

以色列住在那地時，勒烏本竟去與他父親的妾彼耳哈同睡；以色列後來聞知了此事。雅各伯的兒子共計十二人。

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben — Jacob's firstborn — and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

肋阿的兒子：雅各伯的長子勒烏本、西默盎、肋未、猶大、依撒加爾和則步隆。

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

辣黑耳的兒子：若瑟和本雅明。

25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.

辣黑耳的婢女彼耳哈的兒子：丹和納斐塔里。

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.

肋阿的婢女齊耳帕的兒子：加得和阿協爾：這些都是雅各伯在帕丹阿蘭生的兒子。

27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre — to Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron; where Abraham had sojourned, and Isaac.

雅各伯來到了克黎雅特阿爾巴，即赫貝龍的瑪默勒他父親依撒格那裏，即亞巴郎和依撒格曾寄居過的地方。

28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

依撒格享壽一百八十歲。

29 And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

他年高老邁，已享天年，遂斷氣而死，歸到他親族那裏去了；他的兒子厄撒烏和雅各伯將他埋葬了。
