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.
Pada suatu hari Allah berkata kepada Yakub, "Akulah Allah yang menampakkan diri kepadamu ketika engkau lari dari abangmu Esau. Pergilah segera ke Betel. Tinggallah di situ dan dirikanlah sebuah mezbah bagi-Ku."
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;
Lalu Yakub berkata kepada keluarganya dan kepada semua orang yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia, "Kita akan berangkat dari sini dan pergi ke Betel. Di situ saya akan mendirikan mezbah bagi Allah yang telah menolong saya pada masa kesukaran saya dan yang telah melindungi saya ke mana saja saya pergi. Jadi buanglah patung dewa-dewa asing yang ada padamu; lakukanlah upacara pembersihan diri dan kenakanlah pakaian yang bersih."
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.
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.
Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung dewa asing yang ada pada mereka dan juga anting-anting mereka. Semua benda itu ditanam Yakub di bawah pohon besar di dekat kota Sikhem.
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.
Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah meliputi penduduk kota-kota sekitar dengan rasa takut, sehingga mereka tidak mengejar Yakub dan rombongannya.
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.
Lalu sampailah mereka di tanah Kanaan di kota Betel yang dahulu bernama Lus.
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,
Di situ Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamakan tempat itu "El-Betel", karena Allah telah menampakkan diri kepadanya di situ ketika ia lari dari abangnya.
8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.
Di sana juga Debora, inang pengasuh Ribka, meninggal lalu dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar di sebelah selatan kota itu. Itulah sebabnya pohon itu dinamakan "Pohon Tangis".
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-aram, —and blessed him.
Setelah Yakub kembali dari Mesopotamia, Allah menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya dan memberkatinya.
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.
Kata Allah kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan disebut lagi Yakub, tetapi Israel." Demikianlah Allah menamakan dia 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;
Lalu kata Allah pula, "Akulah Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Hendaklah engkau beranak cucu yang banyak! Engkau akan menurunkan bangsa-bangsa dan menjadi bapak leluhur raja-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.
Negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada Abraham dan Ishak, akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu."
13 And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.
Setelah itu Allah meninggalkan Yakub.
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.
Di tempat Allah berbicara kepada Yakub, ia menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan. Lalu batu itu dipersembahkannya kepada Allah dengan menuangkan anggur dan minyak zaitun di atasnya.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.
Tempat itu dinamakannya "Betel".
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.
Sesudah itu Yakub dan rombongannya meninggalkan Betel. Ketika mereka masih agak jauh dari Efrata, tibalah saatnya bagi Rahel untuk melahirkan. Tetapi anaknya sukar lahir.
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.
Ketika sakit bersalinnya memuncak, berkatalah bidan kepadanya, "Besarkan hatimu, Rahel, anakmu laki-laki lagi."
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.
Tetapi Rahel sudah mendekati ajalnya, dan ketika ia hendak menghembuskan napasnya yang penghabisan, dinamakannya anak itu Ben-Oni tetapi ayahnya menamakannya Benyamin.
19 So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
Setelah Rahel meninggal, ia dikuburkan di sisi jalan yang menuju ke Efrata, yang sekarang bernama Betlehem.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.
Yakub menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan di situ, dan sampai hari ini pun kuburan Rahel masih ditandai oleh batu itu.
21 Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from Migdal Eder.
Sesudah itu Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya, lalu memasang kemahnya di suatu tempat lewat menara 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.
Sementara mereka ada di tempat itu Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, selir ayahnya. Hal itu didengar Yakub, dan ia menjadi sangat marah. Yakub mempunyai dua belas anak laki-laki.
23 The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:
Anak-anak Lea ialah Ruben (anak sulung Yakub), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakhar dan Zebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:
Anak-anak Rahel ialah Yusuf dan Benyamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, Dan, and Naphtali:
Anak-anak Bilha, hamba Rahel ialah Dan serta Naftali.
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.
Anak-anak Zilpa, hamba Lea ialah Gad dan Asyer. Anak-anak itu lahir di Mesopotamia.
27 Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.
Lalu sampailah Yakub kepada Ishak ayahnya, di tempat tinggalnya di Mamre dekat Hebron. (Dulu Abraham kakeknya, juga tinggal di sana).
28 And the days of Isaac came to be—a hundred and eighty years.
Pada usia amat tua, yaitu seratus delapan puluh tahun, Ishak meninggal lalu dikuburkan oleh Esau dan Yakub, anak-anaknya.
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.
