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 神对雅各说：「起来！上伯特利去，住在那里；要在那里筑一座坛给 神，就是你逃避你哥哥以扫的时候向你显现的那位。」

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 雅各就对他家中的人并一切与他同在的人说：「你们要除掉你们中间的外邦神，也要自洁，更换衣裳。

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 我们要起来，上伯特利去，在那里我要筑一座坛给 神，就是在我遭难的日子应允我的祷告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。」

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

4 他们就把外邦人的神像和他们耳朵上的环子交给雅各；雅各都藏在示剑那里的橡树底下。

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

5 他们便起行前往。 神使那周围城邑的人都甚惊惧，就不追赶雅各的众子了。

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

6 于是雅各和一切与他同在的人到了迦南地的路斯，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 他在那里筑了一座坛，就给那地方起名叫伊勒·伯特利 ；因为他逃避他哥哥的时候， 神在那里向他显现。

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

8 利百加的奶母底波拉死了，就葬在伯特利下边橡树底下；那棵树名叫亚伦·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， 神又向他显现，赐福与他，

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 且对他说：「你的名原是雅各，从今以后不要再叫雅各，要叫以色列。」这样，他就改名叫以色列。

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 神又对他说：「我是全能的 神；你要生养众多，将来有一族和多国的民从你而生，又有君王从你而出。

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 我所赐给亚伯拉罕和以撒的地，我要赐给你与你的后裔。」

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

13 神就从那与雅各说话的地方升上去了。

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 雅各便在那里立了一根石柱，在柱子上奠酒，浇油。

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

15 雅各就给那地方起名叫伯特利。

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 他们从伯特利起行，离以法他还有一段路程，拉结临产甚是艰难。

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

17 正在艰难的时候，收生婆对她说：「不要怕，你又要得一个儿子了。」

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

18 她将近于死，灵魂要走的时候，就给她儿子起名叫便·俄尼；他父亲却给他起名叫便雅悯。

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

19 拉结死了，葬在以法他的路旁；以法他就是伯利恒。

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一统碑，就是拉结的墓碑，到今日还在。

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

21 以色列起行前往，在以得台那边支搭帐棚。

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 以色列住在那地的时候，吕便去与他父亲的妾辟拉同寝，以色列也听见了。 雅各共有十二个儿子。

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

23 利亚所生的是雅各的长子吕便，还有西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦、西布伦。

24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

24 拉结所生的是约瑟、便雅悯。

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

25 拉结的使女辟拉所生的是但、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 利亚的使女悉帕所生的是迦得、亚设。这是雅各在巴旦·亚兰所生的儿子。

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那里，到了基列·亚巴的幔利，乃是亚伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方；基列·亚巴就是希伯 。

28 And Isaac lived 180 years.

28 以撒共活了一百八十岁。

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 以撒年纪老迈，日子满足，气绝而死，归到他列祖 那里。他两个儿子以扫、雅各把他埋葬了。
