Genesis 35

1 And God said unto Jacob: 'Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there; and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou didst flee 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 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him: 'Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify 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 let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, 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 gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth 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 And they journeyed; and a 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 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan — the same is Beth-el — 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 was revealed unto 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 Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

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 unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-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 unto him: 'Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more 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 unto him: 'I am God Almighty. 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 which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will 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 spoke 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 spoke with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil 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 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke 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 Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

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 she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto 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 in departing — for she died — that she called his name Ben-oni; 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 in the way to Ephrath — the same is Beth-lehem.

辣黑耳死了，葬在去厄弗辣大，即白冷的路旁。

20 And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; the same is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto 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 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 And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now 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 first-born, 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 handmaid: 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 handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-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 unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

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 fourscore years.

依撒格享壽一百八十歲。

29 And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons 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。
