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.”
| و خدا به یعقوب گفت: «برخاسته، به بیت ئیل برآی، و در آنجا ساکن شو وآنجا برای خدایی که بر تو ظاهر شد، وقتی که ازحضور برادرت، عیسو فرار کردی، مذبحی بساز.» | ۱ |
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.
| پس یعقوب به اهل خانه و همه کسانی که با وی بودند، گفت: «خدایان بیگانه‌ای را که درمیان شماست، دور کنید، و خویشتن را طاهرسازید، و رختهای خود را عوض کنید. | ۲ |
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.”
| تابرخاسته، به بیت ئیل برویم و آنجا برای آن خدایی که در روز تنگی من، مرا اجابت فرمود ودر راهی که رفتم با من می‌بود، مذبحی بسازم.» | ۳ |
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].
| آنگاه همه خدایان بیگانه را که در دست ایشان بود، به یعقوب دادند، با گوشواره هایی که در گوشهای ایشان بود. و یعقوب آنها را زیر بلوطی که در شکیم بود دفن کرد. | ۴ |
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.
| پس کوچ کردند، وخوف خدا بر شهرهای گرداگرد ایشان بود، که بنی یعقوب را تعاقب نکردند. | ۵ |
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
| و یعقوب به لوزکه در زمین کنعان واقع است، و همان بیت ئیل باشد، رسید. او با تمامی قوم که با وی بودند. | ۶ |
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.
| ودر آنجا مذبحی بنا نمود و آن مکان را «ایل بیت ئیل» نامید. زیرا در آنجا خدا بر وی ظاهر شده بود، هنگامی که از حضور برادر خودمی گریخت. | ۷ |
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’].
| و دبوره دایه رفقه مرد. و او را زیر درخت بلوط تحت بیت ئیل دفن کردند، و آن را «الون باکوت» نامید. | ۸ |
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.
| و خدا بار دیگر بر یعقوب ظاهر شد، وقتی که از فدان ارام آمد، و او را برکت داد. | ۹ |
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
| و خدا به وی گفت: «نام تو یعقوب است اما بعد از این نام تویعقوب خوانده نشود، بلکه نام تو اسرائیل خواهدبود.» پس او را اسرائیل نام نهاد. | ۱۰ |
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.
| و خدا وی راگفت: «من خدای قادر مطلق هستم. بارور و کثیرشو. امتی و جماعتی از امتها از تو بوجود آیند، واز صلب تو پادشاهان پدید شوند. | ۱۱ |
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.”
| و زمینی که به ابراهیم و اسحاق دادم، به تو دهم؛ و به ذریت بعد از تو، این زمین را خواهم داد.» | ۱۲ |
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
| پس خدا ازآنجایی که با وی سخن گفت، از نزد وی صعودنمود. | ۱۳ |
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.
| و یعقوب ستونی برپا داشت، در جایی که باوی تکلم نمود. ستونی از سنگ و هدیه‌ای ریختنی بر آن ریخت، و آن را به روغن تدهین کرد. | ۱۴ |
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
| پس یعقوب آن مکان را، که خدا با وی در آنجا سخن گفته بود، «بیت ئیل» نامید. | ۱۵ |
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.
| پس، از «بیت ئیل» کوچ کردند. و چون اندک مسافتی مانده بود که به افراته برسند، راحیل راوقت وضع حمل رسید، و زاییدنش دشوار شد. | ۱۶ |
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!”
| و چون زاییدنش دشوار بود، قابله وی را گفت: «مترس زیرا که این نیز برایت پسر است.» | ۱۷ |
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]’.
| و درحین جان کندن، زیرا که مرد، پسر را «بن اونی» نام نهاد، لکن پدرش وی را «بن یامین» نامید. | ۱۸ |
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
| پس راحیل وفات یافت، و در راه افراته که بیت لحم باشد، دفن شد. | ۱۹ |
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
| و یعقوب بر قبر وی ستونی نصب کرد، که آن تا امروز ستون قبرراحیل است. | ۲۰ |
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].
| پس اسرائیل کوچ کرد، و خیمه خود را بدان طرف برج عیدر زد. | ۲۱ |
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.
| و در حین سکونت اسرائیل در آن زمین، روبین رفته، با کنیزپدر خود، بلهه، همخواب شد. و اسرائیل این راشنید. و بنی یعقوب دوازده بودند: | ۲۲ |
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
| پسران لیه: روبین نخست زاده یعقوب و شمعون و لاوی ویهودا و یساکار و زبولون. | ۲۳ |
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
| و پسران راحیل: یوسف و بن یامین. | ۲۴ |
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
| و پسران بلهه کنیز راحیل: دان و نفتالی. | ۲۵ |
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.
| و پسران زلفه، کنیز لیه: جاد واشیر. اینانند پسران یعقوب، که در فدان ارام برای او متولد شدند. | ۲۶ |
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.
| و یعقوب نزد پدر خود، اسحاق، در ممری آمد، به قریه اربع که حبرون باشد، جایی که ابراهیم و اسحاق غربت گزیدند. | ۲۷ |
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
| و عمراسحاق صد و هشتاد سال بود. | ۲۸ |
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
| و اسحاق جان سپرد و مرد، و پیر و سالخورده به قوم خویش پیوست. و پسرانش عیسو و یعقوب او را دفن کردند. | ۲۹ |
