¹God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

¹Pada suatu hari Allah berkata kepada Yakub, "Akulah Allah yang menampakkan diri kepadamu ketika engkau lari dari abangmu Esau. Pergilah segera ke Betel. Tinggallah di situ dan dirikanlah sebuah mezbah bagi-Ku."

²Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

²Lalu Yakub berkata kepada keluarganya dan kepada semua orang yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia, "Kita akan berangkat dari sini dan pergi ke Betel. Di situ saya akan mendirikan mezbah bagi Allah yang telah menolong saya pada masa kesukaran saya dan yang telah melindungi saya ke mana saja saya pergi. Jadi buanglah patung dewa-dewa asing yang ada padamu; lakukanlah upacara pembersihan diri dan kenakanlah pakaian yang bersih."

³Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”

³(35:2)

⁴They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

⁴Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung dewa asing yang ada pada mereka dan juga anting-anting mereka. Semua benda itu ditanam Yakub di bawah pohon besar di dekat kota Sikhem.

⁵They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁵Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah meliputi penduduk kota-kota sekitar dengan rasa takut, sehingga mereka tidak mengejar Yakub dan rombongannya.

⁶So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

⁶Lalu sampailah mereka di tanah Kanaan di kota Betel yang dahulu bernama Lus.

⁷He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

⁷Di situ Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamakan tempat itu "El-Betel", karena Allah telah menampakkan diri kepadanya di situ ketika ia lari dari abangnya.

⁸Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

⁸Di sana juga Debora, inang pengasuh Ribka, meninggal lalu dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar di sebelah selatan kota itu. Itulah sebabnya pohon itu dinamakan "Pohon Tangis".

⁹God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

⁹Setelah Yakub kembali dari Mesopotamia, Allah menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya dan memberkatinya.

¹⁰God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.

¹⁰Kata Allah kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan disebut lagi Yakub, tetapi Israel." Demikianlah Allah menamakan dia Israel.

¹¹God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

¹¹Lalu kata Allah pula, "Akulah Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Hendaklah engkau beranak cucu yang banyak! Engkau akan menurunkan bangsa-bangsa dan menjadi bapak leluhur raja-raja.

¹²The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land.”

¹²Negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada Abraham dan Ishak, akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu."

¹³God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

¹³Setelah itu Allah meninggalkan Yakub.

¹⁴Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

¹⁴Di tempat Allah berbicara kepada Yakub, ia menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan. Lalu batu itu dipersembahkannya kepada Allah dengan menuangkan anggur dan minyak zaitun di atasnya.

¹⁵Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel.”

¹⁵Tempat itu dinamakannya "Betel".

¹⁶They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

¹⁶Sesudah itu Yakub dan rombongannya meninggalkan Betel. Ketika mereka masih agak jauh dari Efrata, tibalah saatnya bagi Rahel untuk melahirkan. Tetapi anaknya sukar lahir.

¹⁷When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

¹⁷Ketika sakit bersalinnya memuncak, berkatalah bidan kepadanya, "Besarkan hatimu, Rahel, anakmu laki-laki lagi."

¹⁸It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, “Benoni” means “son of my trouble.” but his father named him Benjamin. “Benjamin” means “son of my right hand.”

¹⁸Tetapi Rahel sudah mendekati ajalnya, dan ketika ia hendak menghembuskan napasnya yang penghabisan, dinamakannya anak itu Ben-Oni tetapi ayahnya menamakannya Benyamin.

¹⁹Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

¹⁹Setelah Rahel meninggal, ia dikuburkan di sisi jalan yang menuju ke Efrata, yang sekarang bernama Betlehem.

²⁰Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

²⁰Yakub menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan di situ, dan sampai hari ini pun kuburan Rahel masih ditandai oleh batu itu.

²¹Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

²¹Sesudah itu Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya, lalu memasang kemahnya di suatu tempat lewat menara Eder.

²²It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

²²Sementara mereka ada di tempat itu Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, selir ayahnya. Hal itu didengar Yakub, dan ia menjadi sangat marah. Yakub mempunyai dua belas anak laki-laki.

²³The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

²³Anak-anak Lea ialah Ruben (anak sulung Yakub), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakhar dan Zebulon.

²⁴The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁴Anak-anak Rahel ialah Yusuf dan Benyamin.

²⁵The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

²⁵Anak-anak Bilha, hamba Rahel ialah Dan serta Naftali.

²⁶The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

²⁶Anak-anak Zilpa, hamba Lea ialah Gad dan Asyer. Anak-anak itu lahir di Mesopotamia.

²⁷Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

²⁷Lalu sampailah Yakub kepada Ishak ayahnya, di tempat tinggalnya di Mamre dekat Hebron. (Dulu Abraham kakeknya, juga tinggal di sana).

²⁸The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

²⁸Pada usia amat tua, yaitu seratus delapan puluh tahun, Ishak meninggal lalu dikuburkan oleh Esau dan Yakub, anak-anaknya.

²⁹Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

²⁹(35:28)
