Genesis 35

1 Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, —and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

Og Gud sagde til Jakob: Gør dig rede, drag op til Bethel og bliv der, og byg der et Alter for den Gud, som aabenbaredes for dig, der du flyede for din Broder Esaus Ansigt.

2 And Jacob said unto his house, and unto all who were with him, —Put away the gods of the alien which are in your midst, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;

Da sagde Jakob til sit Hus og til alle, som vare med ham: Bortkaster de fremmede Guder, som ere iblandt eder, og renser eder og omskifter eders Klæder!

3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, —that I may make there an altar to the GOD who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

Og lader os gøre os rede og drage op til Bethel, og jeg vil der bygge et Alter for den Gud, som bønhørte mig paa min Nøds Dag og har været med mig paa Vejen, som jeg har vandret.

4 So they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the alien which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears, —and Jacob hid them under the oak, which was by Shechem.

Saa gave de Jakob alle de fremmede Guder, som vare i deres Hænder, og Ringene, som vare i deres Øren, og Jakob skjulte dem under Egen, som var ved Sikem.

5 And they brake up, —and it came to pass that the terror of God, was on the cities which were round about them, so that they pursued not after the sons of Jacob.

Saa rejste de; og Rædsel fra Gud var over de Stæder, som laa rundt omkring dem, at de ikke forfulgte Jakobs Sønner.

6 And Jacob came in towards Luz, which was in the land of Canaan, the same, is Beth-el, —he and all the people who were with him.

Og Jakob kom til Lus, som er i Kanaans Land, det er Bethel, han og alt Folket, som var med ham.

7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-el, —because, there, God revealed himself unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother,

Og han byggede der et Alter og kaldte det Sted El-Beth-El, fordi Gud var aabenbaret der for ham, da han flyede for sin Broder.

8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.

Og Debora, Rebekkas Amme, døde og blev begraven neden for Bethel, under Egen, og han kaldte dens Navn Graadseg.

9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-aram, —and blessed him.

Og Gud aabenbaredes atter for Jakob, da han kom fra Paddan-Aram, og han velsignede ham.

10 And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, —Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So he called his name, Israel.

Og Gud sagde til ham: Dit Navn er Jakob; dit Navn skal ikke ydermere kaldes Jakob; men Israel skal være dit Navn; og han kaldte hans Navn Israel.

11 And God said to him—I, am GOD Almighty! Be fruitful and multiply, A nation, and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, —And, kings, from thy loins, shall come forth;

Og Gud sagde til ham: Jeg er den almægtige Gud, vær frugtbar og former dig, Folk og Folkehobe skal der vorde af dig, og Konger skulle udkomme af dine Lænder.

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.

Og det Land, som jeg har givet Abraham og Isak, det vil jeg give dig, og jeg vil give din Sæd efter dig Landet.

13 And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.

Og Gud for op fra ham, fra det Sted, hvor han talede med ham,

14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, —and he poured out thereon a drink-offering, and poured thereon oil.

Saa oprejste Jakob et Mindesmærke paa det Sted, hvor han talede med ham, et Mindesmærke af Sten, og øste Drikoffer derpaa og overøste det med Olie.

15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.

Og Jakob kaldte det Steds Navn, hvor Gud talede med ham, Bethel.

16 Then brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.

Og de rejste fra Bethel, og der de vare endnu ikkun et Stykke Vej fra Efrat, da fødte Rakel, og hun havde en haard Fødsel.

17 So it came to pass when she was in hard-labour in her child-birth, that the midwife said to her—Do not fear, for this also of thine, is, a son.

Og det skete, da hun havde en haard Fødsel, at Jordemoderen sagde til hende: Frygt ikke; thi ogsaa her har du en Søn.

18 And it came to pass when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.

Og det skete, der hendes Sjæl for ud — thi hun døde — da kaldte hun hans Navn Ben-Oni; men hans Fader kaldte ham Ben-Jamin.

19 So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.

Saa døde Rakel og blev begraven paa Vejen til Efrat, det er Bethlehem.

20 And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.

Og Jakob satte et Mindesmærke over hendes Grav; dette er Rakels Gravs Mindesmærke indtil denne Dag.

21 Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from Migdal Eder.

Og Israel rejste derfra og opslog sit Telt paa hin Side Migdal Eder.

22 And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.

Og det hændte sig, der Israel boede i dette Land, da gik Ruben hen og laa hos Bilha, sin Faders Medhustru, og Israel hørte det. Og Jakob havde tolv Sønner.

23 The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:

Leas Sønner vare: Jakobs førstefødte, Ruben, og Simeon og Levi og Juda og Isaskar og Sebulon.

24 The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:

Rakels Sønner vare: Josef og Benjamin.

25 And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, Dan, and Naphtali:

Og Rakels Pige Bilhas Sønner vare: Dan og Nafthali.

26 And the sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him, in Padan-aram.

Og Leas Pige Silpas Sønner vare: Gad og Aser; disse ere Jakobs Sønner, som bleve ham fødte i Paddan-Aram.

27 Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.

Og Jakob kom til sin Fader Isak i Mamre, udi Kirjath-Arba, det er Hebron, hvor Abraham og Isak havde været fremmede.

28 And the days of Isaac came to be—a hundred and eighty years.

Og Isak blev hundrede Aar og firsindstyve Aar gammel.

29 And Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.

Og Isak opgav Aanden og døde og blev samlet til sit Folk, gammel og mæt af Dage; og Esau og Jakob, hans Sønner, begrove ham.
