Genesis 35
1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, 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.
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 Then said Jacob unto 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.
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 arise, and go up to Beth-el: and I will make there an altar unto the God who answered me on the day of my distress, and was with me on the way 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 unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem.
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 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.
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 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, 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 place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
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 Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and he called its named Allon-bachuth.
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 unto Jacob again, when he came from Padan-aram, and blessed him.
Saat Yakub kembali dari Padan Aram, Allah menjumpai dia lagi dan memberkatinya.
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.
Kata Allah kepadanya, “Namamu memang Yakub, tetapi mulai sekarang Aku memberi nama baru kepadamu. Kamu akan dikenal dengan nama Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God the Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and an assemblage of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy 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 Abraham and to Isaac, to thee will I give it; and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Tanah yang sudah Aku berikan kepada Abraham dan Isak, akan Aku berikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu.”
13 And God went up from him on the place where he had spoken with him.
Sesudah Allah selesai berbicara kepada Yakub, Dia kembali ke surga.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar at the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
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 where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.
Yakub menamai tempat itu Betel, karena di situ Allah sudah berbicara kepadanya.
16 And they journeyed from Beth-el: and there was yet some distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed, and she had 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, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for this child also is a son for thee.
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, as her soul was departing, [for she died] that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
Sambil menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya, Rahel menamai anaknya yang baru lahir itu Ben Oni, tetapi Yakub menamainya Benyamin.
19 And so Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lechem.
Sesudah Rahel meninggal, dia dikuburkan di suatu tempat di jalan menuju Efrata, yang juga disebut Betlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: this is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
Yakub mendirikan sebuah batu peringatan di kuburannya, dan batu itu masih ada sampai kitab ini ditulis.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of flocks [Eder].
Sesudah itu, Yakub meneruskan perjalanan sampai di bagian selatan menara Eder dan mendirikan kemahnya di sana.
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 it. Now 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 Leah, Jacob's first-born, Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
Anak-anaknya dari Lea adalah Ruben (anak sulung), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakar, dan Zebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel, Joseph, and Benjamin.
Anak-anaknya dari Rahel adalah Yusuf dan Benyamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, Dan, and Naphtali.
Anak-anaknya dari Bilha, budak Rahel, adalah Dan serta Naftali.
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Padan-aram.
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 unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, the city of Arba', which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had 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 were one 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 departed this life, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
