Genesis 35
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
Interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob: Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum.
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 garments.
Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abiicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra.
3 Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae, et socius fuit itineris mei.
4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant, et inaures quae erant in auribus eorum: at ille infodit eas subter terebinthum, quae est post urbem Sichem.
5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.
6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
Venit igitur Iacob Luzam, quae est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel: ipse et omnis populus cum eo.
7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Aedificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei: ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum.
8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccae, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.
9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
Apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriae, benedixitque ei,
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israel,
11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
dixitque ei: Ego Deus omnipotens, cresce, et multiplicare: gentes, et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur.
12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
Terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te.
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Et recessit ab eo.
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus: libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum:
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.
vocansque nomen loci illius, Bethel.
16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.
Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel,
17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.
18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
Egrediente autem anima prae dolore, et imminente iam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benomi, id est filius doloris mei: pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin, id est filius dextrae.
19 Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).
Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quae ducit Ephratam, haec est Bethlehem.
20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in praesentem diem.
21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem gregis.
22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui: quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Iacob duodecim.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Filii Liae: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Iudas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
Filii Balae ancillae Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.
26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
Filii Zelphae ancillae Liae: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriae.
27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, Civitatem Arbee, haec est Hebron: in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.
28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.
29 Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
Consumptusque aetate mortuus est: et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum: et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui.
