Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
Allah berkata kepada Yakub, “Bersiaplah dan kembalilah ke Betel, di mana Aku berjumpa denganmu pada waktu kamu melarikan diri dari kakakmu Esau. Buatlah sebuah mezbah untuk-Ku di tempat itu, dan tinggallah di sana.”
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
Maka Yakub berkata kepada seluruh anggota keluarganya dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, “Singkirkanlah semua patung berhala asing yang ada padamu. Bersihkanlah diri kalian, lalu kenakan pakaian yang bersih juga.
3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
Marilah kita bersiap-siap pergi ke Betel. Di sana, aku hendak mendirikan mezbah untuk Allah, yang selalu menolongku saat aku kesulitan dan selalu menyertaiku ke mana pun aku pergi.”
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung berhala asing yang ada pada mereka, juga anting-anting di telinga mereka. Yakub mengubur semua benda itu di bawah sebuah pohon besar dekat kota Sikem.
5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah mendatangkan rasa takut yang hebat atas seluruh penduduk kota-kota sekitar, sehingga tidak ada seorang pun yang berani mengejar mereka.
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Keluarga Yakub tiba di tempat bernama Lus, yang disebut Betel, di Kanaan.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
Di sana, Yakub membuat sebuah mezbah dan menamai tempat itu El Betel, karena di situlah Allah sudah menjumpainya ketika dia lari dari Esau, kakaknya.
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
Di tempat itu jugalah Debora, pengasuh Ribka, meninggal dunia. Dia dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar yang di dataran rendah dekat Betel. Sejak saat itu, pohon tersebut dinamai Alon Bakut.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
Saat Yakub kembali dari Padan Aram, Allah menjumpai dia lagi dan memberkatinya.
10 And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.
Kata Allah kepadanya, “Namamu memang Yakub, tetapi mulai sekarang Aku memberi nama baru kepadamu. Kamu akan dikenal dengan nama Israel.
11 And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
Aku, Allah Yang Mahakuasa, memberkatimu supaya kamu beranak cucu hingga menjadi banyak. Bangsa-bangsa akan lahir dari keturunanmu dan kamu akan menjadi leluhur para raja.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
Tanah yang sudah Aku berikan kepada Abraham dan Isak, akan Aku berikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu.”
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
Sesudah Allah selesai berbicara kepada Yakub, Dia kembali ke surga.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
Lalu Yakub mendirikan sebuah batu sebagai peringatan bahwa di tempat itulah Allah sudah berbicara kepadanya. Yakub menuangkan persembahan air anggur dan minyak zaitun di atas batu tersebut.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
Yakub menamai tempat itu Betel, karena di situ Allah sudah berbicara kepadanya.
16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor.
Kemudian mereka meninggalkan Betel dan melanjutkan perjalanan menuju Efrata. Tetapi sebelum tiba di Efrata, Rahel merasakan sakit menjelang persalinan. Dan persalinannya pun sangat sulit.
17 And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.
Pada titik paling berat dalam persalinannya itu, bidan berkata kepadanya, “Jangan takut, karena kamu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.”
18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
Sambil menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya, Rahel menamai anaknya yang baru lahir itu Ben Oni, tetapi Yakub menamainya Benyamin.
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
Sesudah Rahel meninggal, dia dikuburkan di suatu tempat di jalan menuju Efrata, yang juga disebut Betlehem.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
Yakub mendirikan sebuah batu peringatan di kuburannya, dan batu itu masih ada sampai kitab ini ditulis.
21 And it came to pass when Israel lived in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
Sesudah itu, Yakub meneruskan perjalanan sampai di bagian selatan menara Eder dan mendirikan kemahnya di sana.
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Sewaktu Yakub tinggal di sana, Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, budak Rahel yang diperistri Yakub. Berita itu pun sampai kepada Yakub. Inilah kedua belas anak laki-laki Yakub:
23 The sons of Lea, the firstborn of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
Anak-anaknya dari Lea adalah Ruben (anak sulung), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakar, dan Zebulon.
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
Anak-anaknya dari Rahel adalah Yusuf dan Benyamin.
25 And the sons of Balla, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
Anak-anaknya dari Bilha, budak Rahel, adalah Dan serta Naftali.
26 And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
Anak-anaknya dari Zilpa, budak Lea, adalah Gad dan Asyer. Itulah semua anak laki-laki Yakub yang lahir di Padan Aram.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
Yakub kembali kepada Isak, ayahnya, di Mamre yang juga disebut Kiryat Arba dan sekarang dikenal dengan nama Hebron. Kakeknya (Abraham) dahulu menetap di sana juga.
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
Isak meninggal pada usia yang sangat tua, 180 tahun. Lalu TUHAN menempatkan dia bersama dengan nenek moyangnya yang sudah meninggal dunia. Esau dan Yakub menguburkan dia.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
