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.”
Allah berkata kepada Yakub, “Bersiaplah dan kembalilah ke Betel, di mana Aku berjumpa denganmu pada waktu kamu melarikan diri dari kakakmu Esau. Buatlah sebuah mezbah untuk-Ku di tempat itu, dan tinggallah di sana.”
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.
Maka Yakub berkata kepada seluruh anggota keluarganya dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, “Singkirkanlah semua patung berhala asing yang ada padamu. Bersihkanlah diri kalian, lalu kenakan pakaian yang bersih juga.
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.”
Marilah kita bersiap-siap pergi ke Betel. Di sana, aku hendak mendirikan mezbah untuk Allah, yang selalu menolongku saat aku kesulitan dan selalu menyertaiku ke mana pun aku pergi.”
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.
Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung berhala asing yang ada pada mereka, juga anting-anting di telinga mereka. Yakub mengubur semua benda itu di bawah sebuah pohon besar dekat kota Sikem.
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.
Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah mendatangkan rasa takut yang hebat atas seluruh penduduk kota-kota sekitar, sehingga tidak ada seorang pun yang berani mengejar mereka.
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.
Keluarga Yakub tiba di tempat bernama Lus, yang disebut Betel, di Kanaan.
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.
Di sana, Yakub membuat sebuah mezbah dan menamai tempat itu El Betel, karena di situlah Allah sudah menjumpainya ketika dia lari dari Esau, kakaknya.
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
Di tempat itu jugalah Debora, pengasuh Ribka, meninggal dunia. Dia dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar yang di dataran rendah dekat Betel. Sejak saat itu, pohon tersebut dinamai Alon Bakut.
9 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
Saat Yakub kembali dari Padan Aram, Allah menjumpai dia lagi dan memberkatinya.
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.
Kata Allah kepadanya, “Namamu memang Yakub, tetapi mulai sekarang Aku memberi nama baru kepadamu. Kamu akan dikenal dengan nama Israel.
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.
Aku, Allah Yang Mahakuasa, memberkatimu supaya kamu beranak cucu hingga menjadi banyak. Bangsa-bangsa akan lahir dari keturunanmu dan kamu akan menjadi leluhur para raja.
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.”
Tanah yang sudah Aku berikan kepada Abraham dan Isak, akan Aku berikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu.”
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Sesudah Allah selesai berbicara kepada Yakub, Dia kembali ke surga.
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.
Lalu Yakub mendirikan sebuah batu sebagai peringatan bahwa di tempat itulah Allah sudah berbicara kepadanya. Yakub menuangkan persembahan air anggur dan minyak zaitun di atas batu tersebut.
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Yakub menamai tempat itu Betel, karena di situ Allah sudah berbicara kepadanya.
16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
Kemudian mereka meninggalkan Betel dan melanjutkan perjalanan menuju Efrata. Tetapi sebelum tiba di Efrata, Rahel merasakan sakit menjelang persalinan. Dan persalinannya pun sangat sulit.
17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
Pada titik paling berat dalam persalinannya itu, bidan berkata kepadanya, “Jangan takut, karena kamu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.”
18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
Sambil menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya, Rahel menamai anaknya yang baru lahir itu Ben Oni, tetapi Yakub menamainya Benyamin.
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Sesudah Rahel meninggal, dia dikuburkan di suatu tempat di jalan menuju Efrata, yang juga disebut Betlehem.
20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.
Yakub mendirikan sebuah batu peringatan di kuburannya, dan batu itu masih ada sampai kitab ini ditulis.
21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.
Sesudah itu, Yakub meneruskan perjalanan sampai di bagian selatan menara Eder dan mendirikan kemahnya di sana.
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.
Sewaktu Yakub tinggal di sana, Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, budak Rahel yang diperistri Yakub. Berita itu pun sampai kepada Yakub. Inilah kedua belas anak laki-laki Yakub:
23 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Anak-anaknya dari Lea adalah Ruben (anak sulung), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakar, dan Zebulon.
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Anak-anaknya dari Rahel adalah Yusuf dan Benyamin.
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
Anak-anaknya dari Bilha, budak Rahel, adalah Dan serta Naftali.
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.
Anak-anaknya dari Zilpa, budak Lea, adalah Gad dan Asyer. Itulah semua anak laki-laki Yakub yang lahir di Padan Aram.
27 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
Yakub kembali kepada Isak, ayahnya, di Mamre yang juga disebut Kiryat Arba dan sekarang dikenal dengan nama Hebron. Kakeknya (Abraham) dahulu menetap di sana juga.
28 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
Isak meninggal pada usia yang sangat tua, 180 tahun. Lalu TUHAN menempatkan dia bersama dengan nenek moyangnya yang sudah meninggal dunia. Esau dan Yakub menguburkan dia.
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.
