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.”
Potem Bóg powiedział do Jakuba: Wstań, wstąp do Betel i tam zamieszkaj. Zbuduj tam ołtarz Bogu, który ci się ukazał, gdy uciekałeś przed swoim bratem Ezawem.
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.
Wtedy Jakub powiedział do swych domowników i do wszystkich, którzy z nim [byli]: Usuńcie obcych bogów, którzy są wśród was, oczyśćcie się i zmieńcie swoje szaty.
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.”
Wstańmy i pójdźmy do Betel; tam zbuduję ołtarz Bogu, który mnie wysłuchał w dniu mego utrapienia i był ze mną w drodze, którą chodziłem.
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].
Oddali więc Jakubowi wszystkich obcych bogów, których mieli, i kolczyki, które [mieli] w uszach, i Jakub zakopał je pod tym dębem, który [był] niedaleko Sychem.
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.
Potem wyruszyli [w drogę]. A strach Boży padł na okoliczne miasta i nie ścigali synów Jakuba.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
Jakub przyszedł więc do Luz, które jest w ziemi Kanaan, czyli do Betel, on i cały lud, który z nim był.
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.
I zbudował tam ołtarz, a nazwał to miejsce El-Betel, bo tam ukazał mu się Bóg, gdy uciekał przed swoim bratem.
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’].
Wtedy umarła Debora, mamka Rebeki, i została pogrzebana przy Betel pod dębem. I nazwano go Allon-Bachut.
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.
I Bóg znowu ukazał się Jakubowi, gdy ten wracał z Paddan-Aram, i błogosławił mu.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
I powiedział mu Bóg: Twoje imię [jest] Jakub. Nie będziesz już [jednak] zwany Jakubem, ale twoim imieniem będzie Izrael. I nadał mu imię Izrael.
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.
I Bóg mu powiedział: Ja [jestem] Bóg Wszechmogący. Bądź płodny i rozmnażaj się. Z ciebie powstanie naród i wiele narodów, a z twoich bioder wyjdą królowie.
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.”
Ziemię, którą dałem Abrahamowi i Izaakowi, dam tobie i twemu potomstwu po tobie dam tę ziemię.
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
I Bóg odszedł od niego z miejsca, na którym z nim rozmawiał.
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.
Potem Jakub postawił pomnik na [tym] miejscu, gdzie [Bóg] z nim rozmawiał, pomnik kamienny, i wylał na nim ofiarę z płynów, i polał go oliwą.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
I Jakub nadał temu miejscu, gdzie Bóg z nim rozmawiał, nazwę Betel.
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.
Potem wyruszyli z Betel i gdy mieli kawałek drogi do Efraty, Rachela zaczęła rodzić, a poród miała ciężki.
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!”
Gdy rodziła w wielkich bólach, położna powiedziała do niej: Nie bój się, bo i tego syna będziesz miała.
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]’.
Kiedy uchodziła z niej dusza, bo [tam] umarła, nadała mu imię Benoni; ale jego ojciec nazwał go Beniamin.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
[Tak] to umarła Rachela i została pogrzebana na drodze do Efraty, czyli Betlejem.
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
I Jakub postawił pomnik na jej grobie. To [jest] pomnik grobu Racheli aż do dziś.
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].
Potem Izrael wyruszył [stamtąd] i rozbił swój namiot za wieżą 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.
A gdy Izrael mieszkał w tej krainie, Ruben poszedł i spał z Bilhą, nałożnicą swego ojca, i Izrael usłyszał [o tym]. A synów Jakuba było dwunastu.
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Synowie Lei: Ruben, pierworodny Jakuba, potem Symeon, Lewi, Juda, Issachar i Zebulon.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Synowie Racheli: Józef i Beniamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
A synowie Bilhy, służącej Racheli: Dan i Neftali.
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.
Synowie Zilpy, służącej Lei: Gad i Aszer. To [są] synowie Jakuba, którzy mu się urodzili w Paddan-Aram.
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.
I Jakub przyszedł do swego ojca Izaaka, do Mamre, do miasta Arba, czyli Hebronu, gdzie przebywali Abraham i Izaak.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
A dni Izaaka było sto osiemdziesiąt lat.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
I Izaak oddał ducha, i umarł, i został przyłączony do swego ludu, stary i syty dni; a pogrzebali go jego synowie, Ezaw i Jakub.
