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.”
E disse Deus a Jacó: Levanta-te, sobe a Betel, e fica ali; e faze ali um altar ao Deus que te apareceu quando fugias de teu irmão Esaú.
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.
Então Jacó disse à sua família e a todos os que com ele estavam: Tirai os deuses alheios que há entre vós, e limpai-vos, e mudai vossas roupas.
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.”
E levantemo-nos, e subamos a Betel; e farei ali altar ao Deus que me respondeu no dia de minha angústia, e foi comigo no caminho que andei.
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].
Assim deram a Jacó todos os deuses alheios que havia em poder deles, e os brincos que estavam em suas orelhas; e Jacó os escondeu debaixo de um carvalho, que estava junto a Siquém.
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.
E partiram-se, e o terror de Deus foi sobre as cidades que havia em seus arredores, e não seguiram atrás dos filhos de Jacó.
6 Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
E chegou Jacó a Luz, que está em terra de Canaã, (esta é Betel) ele e todo o povo que com ele estava;
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.
E edificou ali um altar, e chamou o lugar El-Betel, porque ali lhe havia aparecido Deus, quando fugia de seu irmão.
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’].
Então morreu Débora, ama de Rebeca, e foi sepultada às raízes de Betel, debaixo de um carvalho: e chamou-se seu nome Alom-Bacute.
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.
E apareceu-se outra vez Deus a Jacó, quando se havia voltado de Padã-Arã, e abençoou-lhe.
10 God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
E disse-lhe Deus: Teu nome é Jacó; não se chamará mais teu nome Jacó, mas sim Israel será teu nome: e chamou seu nome 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.
E disse-lhe Deus: Eu sou o Deus Todo-Poderoso: cresce e multiplica-te; uma nação e conjunto de nações procederá de ti, e reis sairão de teus lombos:
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.”
E a terra que eu dei a Abraão e a Isaque, a darei a ti: e à tua descendência depois de ti darei a terra.
13 When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
E foi-se dele Deus, do lugar onde com ele havia falado.
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.
E Jacó erigiu uma coluna no lugar onde havia falado com ele, uma coluna de pedra, e derramou sobre ela libação, e deitou sobre ela azeite.
15 Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
E chamou Jacó o nome daquele lugar onde Deus havia falado com ele, 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.
E partiram de Betel, e havia ainda como alguma distância para chegar a Efrata, quando deu à luz Raquel, e houve trabalho em seu parto.
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!”
E aconteceu, que quando havia trabalho em seu parto, disse-lhe a parteira: Não temas, que também terás este filho.
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]’.
E aconteceu que ao sair dela a alma, (pois morreu) chamou seu nome Benoni; mas seu pai o chamou Benjamim.
19 After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
Assim morreu Raquel, e foi sepultada no caminho de Efrata, a qual é Belém.
20 Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
E pôs Jacó uma coluna sobre sua sepultura: esta é a coluna da sepultura de Raquel até hoje.
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].
E partiu Israel, e estendeu sua tenda da outra parte de Migdal-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.
E aconteceu, morando Israel naquela terra, que foi Rúben e dormiu com Bila a concubina de seu pai; o qual chegou a entender Israel. Agora bem, os filhos de Israel foram doze:
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
Os filhos de Lia: Rúben o primogênito de Jacó, e Simeão, e Levi, e Judá, e Issacar, e Zebulom.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Os filhos de Raquel: José, e Benjamim.
25 The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
E os filhos de Bila, serva de Raquel: Dã, e Naftali.
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.
E os filhos de Zilpa, serva de Lia: Gade, e Aser. Estes foram os filhos de Jacó, que lhe nasceram em Padã-Arã.
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.
E veio Jacó a Isaque seu pai a Manre, à cidade de Arba, que é Hebrom, onde habitaram Abraão e Isaque.
28 Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
E foram os dias de Isaque cento e oitenta anos.
29 He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
E expirou Isaque, e morreu, e foi recolhido a seus povos, velho e farto de dias; e sepultaram-no Esaú e Jacó seus filhos.
