Genesis 35
1 Interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob: Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum.
In the meantime God said to Jacob: Arise, and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau thy brother.
2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abiicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra.
And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed and change your garments.
3 Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae, et socius fuit itineris mei.
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God: who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey.
4 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.
So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.
5 Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.
And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away.
6 Venit igitur Iacob Luzam, quae est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel: ipse et omnis populus cum eo.
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.
7 Aedificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei: ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum.
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.
8 Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccae, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.
At the same time Debora the nurse of Rebecca died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel under an oak: and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.
9 Apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriae, benedixitque ei,
And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
10 dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israel,
Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.
11 dixitque ei: Ego Deus omnipotens, cresce, et multiplicare: gentes, et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur.
And said to him: I am God Almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12 Terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te.
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
13 Et recessit ab eo.
And he departed from him.
14 Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus: libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum:
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:
15 vocansque nomen loci illius, Bethel.
And calling the name of that place Bethel.
16 Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel,
And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,
17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.
By reason of her hard labour she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.
18 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.
And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.
19 Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quae ducit Ephratam, haec est Bethlehem.
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.
20 Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in praesentem diem.
And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel’s monument, to this day.
21 Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem gregis.
Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower.
22 Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui: quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Iacob duodecim.
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala, the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23 Filii Liae: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Iudas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.
The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon.
24 Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Filii Balae ancillae Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.
The sons of Bala, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Nephtali.
26 Filii Zelphae ancillae Liae: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriae.
The sons of Zelpha, Lia’s handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, Civitatem Arbee, haec est Hebron: in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
29 Consumptusque aetate mortuus est: et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum: et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui.
And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
