Genesis 35
1 Then God told Jacob, “Get ready to go to Bethel and live there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were running away from your brother Esau.”
Derpå sagde Gud til Jakob: "Drag op til Betel og bliv der og byg der et Alter for Gud, som åbenbarede sig for dig, da du flygtede for din Broder Esau!"
2 So Jacob told his family and everyone who was with him, “Get rid of the pagan idols you have with you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes.
Jakob sagde da til sit Hus og alle sine Folk: "Skaf de fremmede Guder, der findes hos eder, bort, rens eder og skift Klæder,
3 We have to get ready and go to Bethel so I can build an altar to God who answered me in my time of trouble. He has been with me wherever I went.”
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 på den Vej, jeg vandrede!"
4 They handed over to Jacob all the pagan idols they had, as well as their earrings, and he buried them under the oak tree at Shechem.
De gav så 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.
5 As they left on their journey, the terror of God spread over all the surrounding towns, so nobody tried to retaliate against Jacob's sons.
Derpå brød de op; og en Guds Rædsel kom over alle Byerne rundt om, så de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.
6 Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also known as Bethel) in the country of Canaan.
Og Jakob kom med alle sine Folk til Luz i Kana'ans Land, det er Betel;
7 He built an altar there and called the place El-Bethel, because that was where God had appeared to him when he was running away from his brother Esau.
og han byggede et Alter der og kaldte Stedet: Betels Gud, thi der havde Gud åbenbaret sig for ham, da han flygtede for sin Broder.
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak near Bethel. So it was named “the oak of weeping.”
Så døde Rebekkas Amme Debora, og hun blev jordet neden for Betel under Egen; derfor kaldte han den Grædeegen.
9 God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him after his return from Paddan-aram.
Gud åbenbarede sig atter for Jakob efter hans Hjemkomst fra Paddan Aram og velsignede ham;
10 God told him, “Jacob will not be your name any longer. Instead of Jacob your name will be Israel.” So God called him Israel.
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.
11 Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants.
Derpå 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 udgå af din Lænd;
12 I will give to you and to your descendants the land I also gave to Abraham and Isaac.”
det Land, jeg gav Abraham og Isak, giver jeg dig, og dit Afkom efter dig giver jeg Landet!"
13 Then God left the place where he had been speaking to Jacob.
Derpå for Gud op fra ham på det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham;
14 Afterwards Jacob set up a stone pillar where God had spoken with him. He poured out a drink offering on it, and also olive oil.
og Jakob rejste en Støtte på det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham, en Stenstøtte, og hældte et Drikofer over den og udgød Olie på den.
15 Jacob called the place Bethel, because he had spoken with God there.
Og Jakob kaldte det Sted, hvor Gud havde talet med ham, Betel.
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and had great difficulty giving birth.
Derpå brød de op fra Betel, Da de endnu var et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, skulde Rakel føde, og hendes Fødselsveer var hårde.
17 When she was in the worst birth-pains, the midwife told her, “Don't give up—you have another son!”
Midt under hendes hårde Fødselsveer sagde Jordemoderen til hende: "Frygt ikke, thi også denne Gang får du en Søn!"
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she named him Benoni. But his father named him Benjamin.
Men da hun droges med Døden thi det kostede hende Livet gav hun ham Navnet Ben'oni; men Faderen kaldte ham Benjamin".
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also known as Bethlehem).
Så døde Rakel og blev jordet på Vejen til Efrat, det er Betlehem;
20 Jacob set up a stone memorial over Rachel's grave, and it's still there to this day.
og Jakob rejste en Stenstøtte på hendes Grav; det er Rakels Gravstøtte, som står endnu den Dag i Dag.
21 Israel moved on and camped beyond the watch tower at Eder.
Derpå brød Israel op og opslog sit Telt hinsides Migdal Eder.
22 During the time he was living there, Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel found out about it. These were the twelve sons of Jacob:
Men medens Israel boede i den Egn, gik Ruben hen og lå hos sin Faders Medhustru Bilha; og det kom Israel for Øre. Jakobs Sønner var tolv i Tal;
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Leas Sønner: Ruben, Jakobs førstefødte, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issakar og Zebulon;
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Rakels Sønner: Josef og Benjamin;
25 The sons of Rachel's personal maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.
Rakels Trælkvinde Bilhas Sønner: Dan og Naftali;
26 The sons of Leah's personal maid Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him while in Paddan-aram.
Leas Trælkvinde Zilpas Sønner: Gad og Aser. Det var Jakobs Sønner, der fødtes ham i Paddan Aram.
27 Jacob returned home to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre i Kirjat Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde levet som fremmede.
28 Isaac lived to be 180
Isaks Leveår var 180;
29 when he breathed his last and died at an old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
så gik Isak bort; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt, gammel og mæt af Dage. Og hans Sønner Esau og Jakob jordede ham,
