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

And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua ait abicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

3 surgite et ascendamus in Bethel ut faciamus ibi altare Deo qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae et fuit socius itineris mei

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

4 dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant et inaures quae erant in auribus eorum at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum quae est post urbem Sychem

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

5 cumque profecti essent terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 venit igitur Iacob Luzam quae est in terra Chanaan cognomento Bethel ipse et omnis populus cum eo

So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 aedificavitque ibi altare et appellavit nomen loci Domus Dei ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum

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.

8 eodem tempore mortua est Debbora nutrix Rebeccae et sepulta ad radices Bethel subter quercum vocatumque est nomen loci quercus Fletus

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

9 apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae benedixitque ei

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 dicens non vocaberis ultra Iacob sed Israhel erit nomen tuum et appellavit eum Israhel

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name Israel.

11 dixitque ei ego Deus omnipotens cresce et multiplicare gentes et populi nationum erunt ex te reges de lumbis tuis egredientur

And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12 terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac dabo tibi et semini tuo post te

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

13 et recessit ab eo

Then God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

14 ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus ei fuerat Deus libans super eum libamina et effundens oleum

And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 vocansque nomen loci Bethel

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

16 egressus inde venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Efratham in qua cum parturiret Rahel

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit dixitque ei obsetrix noli timere quia et hunc habebis filium

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

18 egrediente autem anima prae dolore et inminente iam morte vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni id est filius doloris mei pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin id est filius dexterae

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 mortua est ergo Rahel et sepulta in via quae ducit Efratham haec est Bethleem

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20 erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius hic est titulus monumenti Rahel usque in praesentem diem

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 egressus inde fixit tabernaculum trans turrem Gregis

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22 cumque habitaret in illa regione abiit Ruben et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui quod illum minime latuit erant autem filii Iacob duodecim

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 filii Liae primogenitus Ruben et Symeon et Levi et Iudas et Isachar et Zabulon

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 filii Rahel Ioseph et Beniamin

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 filii Balae ancillae Rahelis Dan et Nepthalim

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 filii Zelphae ancillae Liae Gad et Aser hii filii Iacob qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamiam Syriae

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre civitatem Arbee haec est Hebron in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 et conpleti sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 consumptusque aetate mortuus est et adpositus populo suo senex et plenus dierum et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
