Genesis 35

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 God said to Jacob: "Go up now to Bethel. Settle there and build an altar there to the God who appeared to you while you were fleeing from your brother Esau."	1 Interea locutus est Deus ad Jacob : Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum.
2 So Jacob told his family and all the others who were with him: "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you; then purify yourselves and put on fresh clothes.	2 Jacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait : Abjicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra.
3 We are now to go up to Bethel, and I will build an altar there to the God who answered me in my hour of distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."	3 Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo : qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meæ, et socius fuit itineris mei.
4 They therefore handed over to Jacob all the foreign gods in their possession and also the rings they had in their ears.	4 Dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant, et inaures quæ erant in auribus eorum : at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum, quæ est post urbem Sichem.
5 Then, as they set out, a terror from God fell upon the towns round about, so that no one pursued the sons of Jacob.	5 Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.
6 Thus Jacob and all the people who were with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.	6 Venit igitur Jacob Luzam, quæ est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel : ipse et omnis populus cum eo.
7 There he built an altar and named the place Bethel, for it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.	7 Ædificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei : ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum.
8 Death came to Rebekah's nurse Deborah; she was buried under the oak below Bethel, and so it was called Allonbacuth.	8 Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccæ, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum : vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.
9 On Jacob's arrival from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.	9 Apparuit autem iterum Deus Jacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriæ, benedixitque ei
10 God said to him: "You whose name is Jacob shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." Thus he was named Israel.	10 dicens : Non vocaberis ultra Jacob, sed Israël erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israël,
11 God also said to him: "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, shall stem from you, and kings shall issue from your loins.	11 dixitque ei : Ego Deus omnipotens : cresce, et multiplicare : gentes et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur,
12 The land I once gave to Abraham and Isaac I now give to you; And to your descendants after you will I give this land."	12 terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te.
13 Then God departed from him.	13 Et recessit ab eo.
14 On the site where God had spoken with him, Jacob set up a memorial stone, and upon it he made a libation and poured out oil.	14 Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus : libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum :
15 Jacob named the site Bethel, because God had spoken with him there.	15 vocansque nomen loci illius Bethel.
16 Then they departed from Bethel; but while they still had some distance to go on the way to Ephrath, Rachel began to be in labor and to suffer great distress.	16 Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quæ ducit Ephratam : in qua cum parturiret Rachel,
17 When her pangs were most severe, her midwife said to her, "Have no fear! This time, too, you have a son."	17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari c?pit. Dixitque ei obstetrix : Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.
18 With her last breath--for she was at the point of death-she called him Ben-oni; his father, however, named him Benjamin.	18 Egrediente autem anima præ dolore, et imminente jam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benomi, id est, Filius doloris mei : pater vero appellavit eum Benjamin, id est, Filius dextræ.
19 Thus Rachel died; and she was buried on the road to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).	19 Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quæ ducit Ephratam, hæc est Bethlehem.
20 Jacob set up a memorial stone on her grave, and the same monument marks Rachel's grave to this day.	20 Erexitque Jacob titulum super sepulchrum ejus : hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in præsentem diem.
21 Israel moved on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.	21 Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem gregis.
22 While Israel was encamped in that region, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine. When Israel heard of it, he was greatly offended. The sons of Jacob were now twelve.	22 Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui : quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Jacob duodecim.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;	23 Filii Liæ : primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Judas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.
24 the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;	24 Filii Rachel : Joseph et Benjamin.
25 the sons of Rachel's maid Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali;	25 Filii Balæ ancillæ Rachelis : Dan et Nephthali.
26 the sons of Leah's maid Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.	26 Filii Zelphæ ancillæ Liæ : Gad et Aser : hi sunt filii Jacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriæ.
27 Jacob went home to his father Isaac at Mamre, in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.	27 Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, civitatem Arbee, hæc est Hebron, in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.
28 The lifetime of Isaac was one hundred and eighty years;	28 Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.
29 then he breathed his last. After a full life, he died as an old man and was taken to his kinsmen. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.	29 Consumptusque ætate mortuus est : et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum : et sepelierunt eum Esau et Jacob filii sui.
