¹Bog pa ukaže Jakobu: Vstani, idi gori v Betel in nastani se tam; in napravi tam oltar Bogu mogočnemu, ki se ti je prikazal, ko si bežal pred Ezavom, bratom svojim.

¹And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.`

²In Jakob veli hiši svoji in vsem, ki so bili ž njim: Stran tuje bogove, ki so med vami, in očistite se ter preoblecite!

²And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are] with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

³in vstanimo ter pojdimo gori v Betel, da napravim tam oltar Bogu mogočnemu, ki me je uslišal v dan stiske moje in mi je bil ob strani na potu, po katerem sem hodil.

³and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.`

⁴Izročé torej Jakobu vse tuje bogove, ki so bili v njih rokah, in obodce, ki so bili v njih ušesih; in Jakob jih zakoplje pod hrastom, ki je blizu Sihema.

⁴And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;

⁵Nato se napotijo, in strah Božji je navdajal mesta, ki so bila okrog njih, da niso podili sinov Jakobovih.

⁵and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.

⁶In Jakob pride v Luz, ki je v deželi Kanaanski (to je Betel), on in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo ž njim.

⁶And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,

⁷In napravi tam oltar, in imenoval je tisto mesto El-Betel [T. j. Bog mogočni Betela.], ker se mu je bil ondi razodel Bog, ko je bežal pred bratom svojim.

⁷and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.

⁸Umrla je pa Debora, Rebekina dojnica, in je bila pokopana pod hrastom doli za Betelom, zato ga je imenoval Alon bakut [T. j. hrast jokú.].

⁸And Deborah, Rebekah`s nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name `Oak of weeping.`

⁹Nato se prikaže Bog zopet Jakobu, ko je prišel iz Padan-arama, in ga blagoslovi.

⁹And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;

¹⁰In mu reče Bog: Ime tvoje je Jakob; odslej se ne bo imenovalo ime tvoje Jakob, ampak Izrael bode ime tvoje; in imenoval je ime njegovo Izrael.

¹⁰and God saith to him, `Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;` and He calleth his name Israel.

¹¹Še mu reče Bog: Jaz sem Bog silni, Vsemogočni: rodoviten bodi in množi se; narod, da, množica narodov bodi iz tebe, tudi kralji naj pridejo iz ledij tvojih.

¹¹And God saith to him, `I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;

¹²Deželo pa, ki sem jo dal Abrahamu in Izaku, dam tebi, in semenu tvojemu za teboj dam deželo to.

¹²and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac — to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.`

¹³In Bog je šel od njega na tistem mestu, kjer je govoril ž njim.

¹³And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.

¹⁴In Jakob postavi spomenik na mestu, kjer je govoril ž njim, spomenik kamenen, in izlije nanj pitno daritev in ga oblije z oljem.

¹⁴And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;

¹⁵In Jakob je dal mestu, kjer je Bog govoril ž njim, ime Betel.

¹⁵and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.

¹⁶In ko so zapustili Betel in je bilo še malo pota, da pridejo do Efrate, je imela Rahela težek porod.

¹⁶And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;

¹⁷In ko je trpela hude porodne bolečine, ji reče babica: Ne boj se, ker tudi zdaj imaš sina.

¹⁷and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.`

¹⁸In zgodi se, ko ji je uhajala duša in je umirala, da imenuje ime njegovo Benoni [T. j. sin bolečine moje.], ali oče njegov ga je imenoval Benjamina [T. j. sin desnice.].

¹⁸And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

¹⁹In umrla je Rahela in je bila pokopana na potu v Efrato (to je Betlehem).

¹⁹and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,

²⁰In Jakob postavi spomenik na njen grob, to je Spomenik Rahelinega groba do današnjega dne.

²⁰and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel`s grave unto this day.

²¹Nato se napoti Izrael in razpne šator svoj onkraj stolpa Ederja.

²¹And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;

²²Zgodi se pa, ko je bival Izrael v tisti pokrajini, da je šel Ruben in ležal z Bilho, priležnico očeta svojega; in to je slišal Izrael. Bilo je pa sinov Izraelovih dvanajst.

²²and it cometh to pass in Israel`s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father`s concubine; and Israel heareth.

²³Sinovi Leje: prvenec Jakobov Ruben, in Simeon in Levi in Juda, Isahar in Zebulon;

²³And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob`s first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴sinova Rahele: Jožef in Benjamin;

²⁴Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵sinova pa Bilhe, ki je bila Rahelina dekla: Dan in Neftali;

²⁵And sons of Bilhah, Rachel`s maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶in sinova Zilpe, ki je bila Lejina dekla: Gad in Aser. Ti so sinovi Jakobovi, ki so se mu rodli v Padan-aramu.

²⁶And sons of Zilpah, Leah`s maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.

²⁷In pride Jakob k Izaku, očetu svojemu, v Mamro pri Kirjat-arbi, to je Hebron, kjer je nekdaj Abraham tujčeval in potem Izak.

²⁷And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

²⁸Bilo je pa Izakovih dni sto osemdeset let.In izdihnil je Izak in umrl ter je bil zbran k ljudstvu svojemu, star in dni svojih sit; in pokopala sta ga Ezav in Jakob, sina njegova.

²⁸And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,

²⁹In izdihnil je Izak in umrl ter je bil zbran k ljudstvu svojemu, star in dni svojih sit; in pokopala sta ga Ezav in Jakob, sina njegova.

²⁹and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
