Génesis 35
1 Y dijo Dios a Jacob: Levántate, sube a Bet-el, y está allí: y haz allí altar al Dios, que te apareció cuando huías de tu hermano Esaú.
[Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
2 Entonces Jacob dijo a su familia, y a todos los que estaban con él: Quitád los dioses ajenos que hay entre vosotros, y limpiaos, y mudád vuestros vestidos:
So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
3 Y levantémonos, y subamos a Bet-el: y allí haré altar al Dios que me respondió en el día de mi angustia, y ha sido conmigo en el camino que he andado.
Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 Así dieron a Jacob todos los dioses ajenos que había en su poder, y los zarcillos que estaban en sus orejas; y Jacob los escondió debajo de un alcornoque, que estaba en Siquem.
So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
5 Y partiéronse; y el terror de Dios fue sobre las ciudades que estaban en sus alrededores, y no siguieron tras los hijos de Jacob.
As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
6 Y vino Jacob a Luza, que era en tierra de Canaán, esta es Bet-el; él y todo el pueblo que con él estaba.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
7 Y edificó allí altar, y llamó al lugar, El-bet-el; porque allí le había aparecido Dios cuando huía de su hermano.
There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
8 Entonces murió Débora, ama de Rebeca, y fue sepultada a las raíces de Bet-el, debajo de un alcornoque; y llamó su nombre, Allón-bacut.
Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
9 Y aparecióse otra vez Dios a Jacob cuando fue vuelto de Padan-aram, y bendíjole.
After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
10 Y díjole Dios: Tu nombre es Jacob, no se llamará más tu nombre Jacob, mas Israel será tu nombre: y llamó su nombre Israel.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
11 Y díjole Dios: Yo soy el Dios omnipotente, crece y multiplícate: gente, y compañía de gente, saldrá de ti; y reyes saldrán de tus lomos.
Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
12 Y la tierra, que yo he dado a Abraham y a Isaac, te daré a ti; y a tu simiente después de ti daré la tierra.
The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
13 Y fuése de él Dios, del lugar donde había hablado con él.
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
14 Y Jacob puso un título en el lugar donde había hablado con él, un título de piedra: y derramó sobre él derramadura, y echó sobre él aceite.
Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
15 Y llamó Jacob el nombre de aquel lugar donde Dios había hablado con él, Bet-el.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 Y partieron de Bet-el, y había aun como medía legua de tierra para venir a Efrata; y parió Raquel, y hubo trabajo en su parto.
Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
17 Y fue, que como hubo trabajo en su parir, díjole la partera: No temas, que aun este hijo también tendrás.
When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
18 Y fue, que saliéndosele el alma, porque murió, llamó su nombre Ben-oni; mas su padre le llamó Ben-jamín.
But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
19 Así murió Raquel; y fue sepultada en el camino de Efrata, esta es Belén.
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
20 Y puso Jacob un título sobre su sepultura; este es el título de la sepultura de Raquel, hasta hoy.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
21 Y partió Israel, y tendió su tienda de la otra parte de la torre de Eder.
Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
22 Y fue que morando Israel en aquella tierra, fue Rubén, y durmió con Bala la concubina de su padre: lo cual oyó Israel. Y fueron los hijos de Israel doce.
While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
23 Los hijos de Lia: el primogénito de Jacob, Rubén; y Simeón, y Leví, y Judá, e Isacar, y Zabulón.
The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
24 Los hijos de Raquel: José, y Ben-jamín.
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 Y los hijos de Bala, sierva de Raquel: Dan, y Neftalí.
The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
26 Y los hijos de Zelfa, sierva de Lia: Gad, y Aser. Estos fueron los hijos de Jacob, que le nacieron en Padan-aram.
The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
27 Y vino Jacob a Isaac su padre a Mamré, ciudad de Arbee, esta es Hebrón, donde habitó Abraham e Isaac.
Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
28 Y fueron los días de Isaac ciento y ochenta años.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
29 Y espiró Isaac y murió; y fue recogido a sus pueblos viejo, y harto de días, y sepultáronle Esaú y Jacob sus hijos.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
