Genesis 35
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your brother.”
天主對雅各伯說：「起來，上貝特耳去，住在那裏，為你昔日逃避你哥哥厄撒烏在那裏顯現給你的天主，築一祭壇。」
2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
雅各伯便對家人和跟隨他的人說：「你們應除去你們中間所有外邦的神像，並取潔，更換衣服，
3 Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
因為我門要起身上貝特耳去；在那裏我要給在我困苦的時日俯聽了我，在我所走的路上伴隨了我的天主，築一祭壇。」
4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
眾人便將自己手中所有外邦的神像，所有的耳環，都交給了雅各伯；雅各伯就都埋在那靠近舍根的橡樹底下。
5 As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
當他們起程出發時，天主叫周圍的城邑都非常恐怖，為此誰也不敢追趕雅各伯的兒子。
6 So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
這樣，雅各伯和與他在一起的人，來到客納罕地的路次，即貝特耳；
7 He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from his brother.
他在那裏築了一座祭壇。稱呼那地方為貝特耳，因為他逃避他哥哥時，天主曾在那裏顯現給他。
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
其時黎貝加的乳母德波辣死了，就埋在貝加的下面的一株橡樹底下；為此給這橡樹起名叫「悲泣的橡樹。」
9 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來後，天主又顯現給他，再祝福。
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God called his name Israel.
他天主對他說：「你原叫雅各伯，但以後不再叫作雅各伯，卻要叫作以色列。」遂給他改名以色列。
11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.
天主又對他說：「我是全能的天主，你要生育繁殖；不但一個民族，而是一些民族要由你而生，許多君王要由你而生。
12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”
我將賜給了亞巴郎和依撒格的土地賜給你；我也將這土地賜給你未來的後裔。」
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
然後天主就在與他談話的地方，離開他，上升去了。
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.
雅各伯在天主與他談話地方，豎立了一根柱子，一根石柱；在上面行了奠祭，倒上油。
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
雅各伯給天主與他談話的地方起名叫貝特耳。
16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
他們由貝特耳起程出發，離厄弗辣大還有一段路程時，辣黑耳要生產，感覺難產。
17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
正當難產之際，收生婆對她說：「不要怕，你這次還是生個男孩。」
18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
辣黑耳將要斷氣快死的時候，給他起名叫本敖尼；但他的父親卻叫他本雅明。
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
辣黑耳死了，葬在去厄弗辣大，即白冷的路旁。
20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.
雅各伯在她墳上立了一塊碑；這塊辣黑耳墳上的碑，至今尚存。
21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.
以色列又起程前行，在米革達耳厄德爾的那一面支搭了帳幕。
22 While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.
以色列住在那地時，勒烏本竟去與他父親的妾彼耳哈同睡；以色列後來聞知了此事。雅各伯的兒子共計十二人。
23 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
肋阿的兒子：雅各伯的長子勒烏本、西默盎、肋未、猶大、依撒加爾和則步隆。
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
辣黑耳的兒子：若瑟和本雅明。
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
辣黑耳的婢女彼耳哈的兒子：丹和納斐塔里。
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
肋阿的婢女齊耳帕的兒子：加得和阿協爾：這些都是雅各伯在帕丹阿蘭生的兒子。
27 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
雅各伯來到了克黎雅特阿爾巴，即赫貝龍的瑪默勒他父親依撒格那裏，即亞巴郎和依撒格曾寄居過的地方。
28 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
依撒格享壽一百八十歲。
29 Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
他年高老邁，已享天年，遂斷氣而死，歸到他親族那裏去了；他的兒子厄撒烏和雅各伯將他埋葬了。
