Genesis 35
1 [Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
Und Gott sprach zu Jakob: Mache dich auf und zeuch gen Bethel und wohne daselbst; und mache daselbst einen Altar dem Gott, der dir erschien, da du flohest vor deinem Bruder Esau.
2 So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
Da sprach Jakob zu seinem Hause und zu allen, die mit ihm waren: Tut von euch die fremden Götter, so unter euch sind, und reiniget euch und ändert eure Kleider.
3 Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Und lasset uns auf sein und gen Bethel ziehen, daß ich daselbst einen Altar mache dem Gott, der mich erhöret hat zur Zeit meiner Trübsal und ist mit mir gewesen auf dem Wege, den ich gezogen bin.
4 So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
Da gaben sie ihm alle fremden Götter, die unter ihren Händen waren, und ihre Ohrenspangen; und er vergrub sie unter eine Eiche, die neben Sichem stund.
5 As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
Und sie zogen aus. Und es kam die Furcht Gottes über die Städte, die um sie her lagen, daß sie den Söhnen Jakobs nicht nachjagten.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Also kam Jakob gen Lus im Lande Kanaan, die da Bethel, heißt, samt all dem Volk, das mit ihm war,
7 There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
und bauete daselbst einen Altar und hieß die Stätte El-Bethel, darum daß ihm daselbst Gott offenbaret war, da er floh vor seinem Bruder.
8 Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
Da starb Debora, der Rebekka Amme, und ward begraben unter Bethel, unter der Eiche; und ward, genannt die Klageiche.
9 After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
Und Gott erschien Jakob abermal, nachdem er aus Mesopotamien kommen war, und segnete ihn
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
und sprach zu ihm: Du heißest Jakob; aber du sollst nicht mehr Jakob heißen, sondern Israel sollst du heißen. Und also man ihn Israel.
11 Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
Und Gott sprach zu ihm: Ich bin der allmächtige Gott; sei fruchtbar und mehre dich; Völker und Völkerhaufen sollen von dir kommen, und Könige sollen aus deinen Lenden kommen.
12 The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
Und das Land, das ich Abraham und Isaak gegeben habe, will ich dir geben und will's deinem Samen nach dir geben.
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Also fuhr Gott auf von ihm; von dem Ort, da er mit ihm geredet hatte.
14 Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
Jakob aber richtete ein steinern Mal auf an dem Ort, da er mit ihm geredet hatte, und goß Trankopfer drauf und begoß ihn mit Öl.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
Und Jakob hieß den Ort, da Gott mit ihm geredet hatte, Bethel.
16 Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
Und sie zogen von Bethel. Und da noch ein Feldwegs war von Ephrath, da gebar Rahel.
17 When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
Und es kam sie hart an über der Geburt. Da es ihr aber so sauer ward in der Geburt, sprach die Wehmutter zu ihr: Fürchte dich nicht, denn diesen Sohn wirst du auch haben.
18 But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
Da ihr aber die Seele ausging, daß sie sterben mußte, hieß sie ihn Benoni; aber sein Vater hieß ihn Benjamin.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Also starb Rahel und ward begraben an dem Wege gen Ephrath, die nun heißt Bethlehem.
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Und Jakob richtete ein Mal auf über ihrem Grabe; dasselbe ist das Grabmal Rahels bis auf diesen Tag.
21 Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
Und Israel zog aus und richtete eine Hütte auf jenseits des Turms Eder.
22 While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
Und es begab sich, da Israel im Lande wohnete, ging Ruben hin und schlief bei Bilha, seines Vaters Kebsweibe; und das kam vor Israel. Es hatte aber Jakob zwölf Söhne.
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Die Söhne Leas waren diese: Ruben, der erstgeborne Sohn Jakobs, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isaschar und Sebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Die Söhne Rahels waren: Joseph und Benjamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
Die Söhne Bilhas, Rahels Magd: Dan und Naphthali.
26 The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
Die Söhne Silpas, Leas Magd: Gad und Asser. Das sind die Söhne Jakobs, die ihm geboren sind in Mesopotamien.
27 Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
Und Jakob kam zu seinem Vater Isaak gen Mamre in die Hauptstadt, die da heißt Hebron, da Abraham und Isaak Fremdlinge innen gewesen sind.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
Und Isaak ward hundertundachtzig Jahre alt.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
Und nahm ab und starb und ward versammelt zu seinem Volk, alt und des Lebens satt. Und seine Söhne Esau und Jakob begruben ihn.
