Genesis 35

1 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

1 上帝对雅各说：“你到伯特利去住，你要在那里为上帝筑一座坛，祂在你逃避你哥哥以扫时曾向你显现。”

2 So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.

2 于是，雅各吩咐家人和所有的随从：“你们要除掉你们当中的外族神像，洁净自己，更换衣服。

3 Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

3 我们要上伯特利去，在那里为上帝筑一座坛，祂在我遭遇患难时听了我的祷告，一路都与我同在。”

4 So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.

4 他们把所有外族的神像和自己的耳环都交给雅各，雅各把这些东西埋在示剑的橡树下。

5 As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

5 他们就出发了，上帝使恐惧笼罩周围的城邑，没有人敢追赶他们。

6 So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

6 雅各和所有的随从来到迦南的路斯，也就是伯特利。

7 There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.

7 他在那里建造了一座坛，称那地方为伊勒·伯特利 ，因为在他逃避哥哥的时候，上帝曾在那里向他显现。

8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.

8 后来利百加的奶妈底波拉死了，葬在伯特利下面的橡树下，那棵树叫亚伦·巴古 。

9 After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

9 雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来后，上帝又向他显现，赐福给他。

10 And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.

10 上帝对他说：“你叫雅各，但从今以后不要再叫雅各了，你要改名叫以色列。”这样雅各改名为以色列。

11 And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.

11 上帝又说：“我是全能的上帝，你要生养众多，人丁兴旺，一国，甚至多国必从你而出，许多君王必出自你的子孙。

12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

12 我要把赐给亚伯拉罕和以撒的土地赐给你和你的后代。”

13 Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

13 上帝说完就离开雅各升上天去。

14 So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.

14 雅各在上帝跟他说话的地方立了一根石柱，又在柱子上奠酒、浇油，

15 Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

15 称那地方为伯特利。

16 Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.

16 他们从伯特利继续前行，离以法他还有一段路时，拉结要分娩，出现难产。

17 During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

17 接生婆对难产的她说：“不要害怕，你又添了一个儿子！”

18 And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

18 拉结咽气前给儿子取名叫便·俄尼 ，雅各却叫他便雅悯 。

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

19 拉结死后就葬在通往以法他的路旁，以法他即伯利恒。

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

20 雅各在她的坟上立了石碑，这碑至今还在。

21 Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

21 以色列继续前行，在以得塔附近搭起了帐篷。

22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:

22 以色列在那里居住时，吕便和父亲的妾辟拉通奸，以色列也知道这件事。 雅各有十二个儿子。

23 The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

23 利亚生了雅各的长子吕便，还有西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦和西布伦。

24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

24 拉结生了约瑟和便雅悯。

25 The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

25 拉结的婢女辟拉生了但和拿弗他利。

26 And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

26 利亚的婢女悉帕生了迦得和亚设。他们都是雅各的儿子，是在巴旦·亚兰出生的。

27 Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

27 雅各来到他父亲以撒住的幔利，即基列·亚巴，也就是亚伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方。基列·亚巴就是希伯仑。

28 And Isaac lived 180 years.

28 以撒享年一百八十岁，

29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

29 年纪老迈，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。他的儿子以扫和雅各把他安葬了。
