Genesis 35

1 Then God sayde to Iaakob, Arise, goe vp to Beth-el and dwell there, and make there an altar vnto God, that appeared vnto thee, when thou fleddest from 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 Then saide Iaakob vnto his houshold and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and clense your selues, 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 For we will rise and goe vp to Beth-el, and I will make an altar there vnto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which 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 gaue vnto Iaakob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their earings which were in their eares, and Iaakob hidde them vnder an oke, which was 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 Then they went on their iourney, and the feare of God was vpon the cities that were roud about them: so that they did not follow after the sonnes of Iaakob.

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 So came Iaakob to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan: (the same is Beth-el) hee and all the people that was 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 had called the place, The God of Beth-el, because that God appeared vnto him there, when he fled from 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 Then Deborah Rebekahs nourse dyed, and was buried beneath Beth-el vnder an oke: and he called the name of it 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 Againe God appeared vnto Iaakob, after he came out of 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 Moreouer God said vnto him, Thy name is Iaakob: thy name shalbe no more called Iaakob, but Israel shalbe thy name: and hee 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 Againe God said vnto him, I am God all sufficient. growe, and multiplie. a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring of thee, and Kings shall come out of thy loynes.

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 Also I will giue the lande, which I gaue to Abraham and Izhak, vnto thee: and vnto thy seede after thee will I giue that 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 So God ascended 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 Iaakob set vp a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone, and powred drinke offring thereon: also hee powred oyle thereon.

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 Iaakob called the name of the place, where God spake with him, Beth-el.

雅各伯給天主與他談話的地方起名叫貝特耳。

16 Then they departed from Beth-el, and when there was about halfe a daies iourney of ground to come to Ephrath, Rahel trauailed, and in trauailing she was in perill.

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 whe she was in paines of her labour, the midwife saide vnto her, Feare not: for thou shalt haue this sonne also.

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 Then as she was about to yeelde vp the Ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Beniamin.

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 Thus died Rahel, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

辣黑耳死了，葬在去厄弗辣大，即白冷的路旁。

20 And Iaakob set a pillar vpon her graue: This is the pillar of Rahels graue vnto 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 Then Israel went forwarde, and pitched his tent beyond 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 Now, when Israel dwelt in that land, Reuben went, and lay with Bilhah his fathers concubine, and it came to Israels eare. And Iaakob had twelue sonnes.

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 sonnes of Leah: Reuben Iaakobs eldest sonne, and Simeon, and Leui, and Iudah, 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 sonnes of Rahel: Ioseph and Beniamin.

辣黑耳的兒子：若瑟和本雅明。

25 And the sonnes of Bilhah Rahels maide: Dan and Naphtali.

辣黑耳的婢女彼耳哈的兒子：丹和納斐塔里。

26 And the sonnes of Zilpah Leahs maide: Gad and Asher. These are the sonnes of Iaakob, which were borne 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 Then Iaakob came vnto Izhak his father to Mamre a citie of Arbah: this is Hebron, where Abraham and Izhak were strangers.

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 daies of Izhak were an hundreth and fourescore yeeres.

依撒格享壽一百八十歲。

29 And Izhak gaue vp the ghost and died, and was gathered vnto his people, being olde and full of daies: and his sonnes Esau and Iaakob 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。
