< Genesis 35 >

1 And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
Derpaa sagde Gud til Jakob: »Drag op til Betel og bliv der og byg der et Alter for Gud, som aabenbarede sig for dig, da du flygtede for din Broder Esau!«
2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and 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 Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and 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 paa den Vej, jeg vandrede!«
4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
De gav saa 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 Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
Derpaa brød de op; og en Guds Rædsel kom over alle Byerne rundt om, saa de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.
6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
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 there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
og han byggede et Alter der og kaldte Stedet: Betels Gud, thi der havde Gud aabenbaret sig for ham, da han flygtede for sin Broder.
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.
Saa døde Rebekkas Amme Debora, og hun blev jordet neden for Betel under Egen; derfor kaldte han den Grædeegen.
9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
Gud aabenbarede sig atter for Jakob efter hans Hjemkomst fra Paddan-Aram og velsignede ham;
10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name 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 And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.
Derpaa 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 udgaa af din Lænd;
12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
det Land, jeg gav Abraham og Isak, giver jeg dig, og dit Afkom efter dig giver jeg Landet!«
13 Then God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Derpaa for Gud op fra ham paa det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham;
14 And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
og Jakob rejste en Støtte paa det Sted, hvor han havde talet med ham, en Stenstøtte, og hældte et Drikoffer over den og udgød Olie paa den.
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
Og Jakob kaldte det Sted, hvor Gud havde talet med ham, Betel.
16 Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.
Derpaa brød de op fra Betel, Da de endnu var et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, skulde Rakel føde, og hendes Fødselsveer var haarde.
17 When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."
Midt under hendes haarde Fødselsveer sagde Jordemoderen til hende: »Frygt ikke, thi ogsaa denne Gang faar du en Søn!«
18 It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, 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 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Saa døde Rakel og blev jordet paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Betlehem;
20 Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.
og Jakob rejste en Stenstøtte paa hendes Grav; det er Rakels Gravstøtte, som staar endnu den Dag i Dag.
21 And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
Derpaa brød Israel op og opslog sit Telt hinsides Migdal Eder.
22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Men medens Israel boede i den Egn, gik Ruben hen og laa 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, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and 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 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.
Rakels Trælkvinde Bilhas Sønner: Dan og Naftali;
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
Leas Trælkvinde Zilpas Sønner: Gad og Aser. Det var Jakobs Sønner, der fødtes ham i Paddan-Aram.
27 So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre i Kirjat-Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde levet som fremmede.
28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
Isaks Leveaar var 180;
29 And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
saa gik Isak bort; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt, gammel og mæt af Dage. Og hans Sønner Esau og Jakob jordede ham,
