35 — Genesis

1In the mean time God said to Jacob: Arise and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau, thy brother.Frattanto il Signore disse a Giacobbe: Sorgi, e va' in Bethel, e ivi fermati, e fa' un altare a Dio, il quale ti apparve allorché fuggivi Esaù tuo fratello.IN THE meane time God spake to Iacob: Arise, and goe vp to Bethel, and dwel there, and make an altar to God that appeared to thee when thou diddest flie from Esau thy brother.Interea locutus est Deus ad Jacob: Surge, et ascende Bethel, et habita ibi, facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum. 2And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed, and change your garments.E Giacobbe, raunata tutta la sua famiglia, disse: Gettate via gli dei stranieri, che avete tra voi, e mondatevi, e cangiate le vostre vesti.And Iacob hauing called together al his house, said: Cast away the strange goddes that are among you, and be clensed and change your garments.Jacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abjicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini, ac mutate vestimenta vestra. 3Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God; who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompained me in my journey.Venite, e andiamo a Bethel per far ivi un altare a Dio: il quale mi esaudì nel giorno di mia tribolazione, e mi accompagnò nel mio viaggio.Arise, and let vs goe vp into Bethel, that we may make there an altar vnto God: who heard me in the day of my tribulation, and accompained me in my iourney.Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meæ, et socius fuit itineris mei. 4So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.Diedero pertanto a lui tutti gli dei stranieri che aveano, e gli orecchini, che quegli avevano alle orecchie: ed egli li sotterrò sotto il terebinto, che è di là dalla città di Sichem.They gaue to him therfore al the strange goddes that they had, and the earelets which were in their eares: but he buried them vnder the terebinth,that is behind the citie of Sichem.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. 5And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away.E partiti ch'ei furono, il terrore di Dio invase tutte le città all'intorno, e non ardirono d'inseguirli, mentre si ritiravano.And when they were departed, the terror of God inuaded al the cities rounde about, and they durst not pursew them going away.Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes.

6And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.Giacobbe adunque, egli, e tutta la sua gente con lui arrivò a Luza cognominata Bethel nella terra di Chanaan.And Iacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and al the people that was with him.Venit igitur Jacob Luzam, quæ est in terra Chanaan, cognomento Bethel: ipse et omnis populus cum eo. 7And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.E ivi edificò l'altare, e a quel luogo pose il nome di Casa di Dio: perocché ivi apparve Dio a lui, quando fuggiva il fratel suo.And he builded there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.Ædificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, Domus Dei: ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum. 8At the same time Debora, the nurse of Rebecca, died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel, under an oak, and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.Nello stesso tempo si morì Debora, balia di Rebecca, e fu sepolta appiè di Bethel sotto una quercia: e fu chiamato quel luogo la Quercia del pianto.The same time died Debora the nurse of Rebecca, and was buried at the foote of Bethel vnder an oke: and the name of that place was called, The oke of weeping.Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccæ, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus. 9And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,E Dio apparve a Giacobbe la seconda volta, dopo il suo ritorno dalla Mesopotamia della Siria, e lo benedisse,And God appeared again to Iacob after he returned from Mesopotamia of Siria, and he blessed him,Apparuit autem iterum Deus Jacob postquam reversus est de Mespotamia Syriæ, benedixitque ei 10Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.Dicendo: Tu non ti chiamerai più Giacobbe, ma il tuo nome sarà Israele. E chiamollo Israele.saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Iacob, but Israel shal be thy name. And he called him Israel,dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Jacob, sed Israël erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israël, 11And said to him: I am God almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.E soggiunsegli: Io il Dio onnipotente; cresci, moltiplica: tu sarai capo di nazioni, e di popoli, da te usciranno de' re.and said to him: I am God almightie, encrease thou and multiplie: Of thee shal be nations and peoples of nations, kinges shal come forth of thy loynes.dixitque ei: Ego Deus omnipotens: cresce, et multiplicare: gentes et populi nationum ex te erunt, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur,

12And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.E la terra, che io diedi ad Abramo, e ad Isacco, la darò a te, e alla tua stirpe dopo di te.And the land which I gaue to Abraham and Isaac, I wil geue to thee, and to thy seede after thee.terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi et semini tuo post te. 13And he departed from him.E partissi da lui.And he departed from him.Et recessit ab eo. 14But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink-offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:Ed egli eresse un monumento di pietra nel luogo, dove Dio gli avea parlato: facendovi sopra le libagioni, e versandovi dell'olio:But he erected a title of stone, in the place where God had spoken vnto him: offering vpon it liquide offeringes, and powring oile on it:Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus fuerat ei Deus: libans super eum libamina, et effundens oleum: 15And calling the name of that place Bethel.E pose a quel luogo il nome di Bethel.and calling the name of that place, Bethel.vocansque nomen loci illius Bethel. 16And going forth from thence, he came in the spring time to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,E partitosi di colà andò nella primavera ad un luogo sulla strada di Ephrata: dove venendo i dolori di parto a Rachele,And being gone forth from thence, he came in the spring time to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherin when Rachel was in trauaile,Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quæ ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel, 17By reason of her hard labour, she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.Essendo il parto difficile, cominciò ad essere in pericolo. E la levatrice le disse: Non temere; tu avrai ancora questo figliuolo.because of difficultie in her trauaile, she beganne to be in danger, and the midwife said vnto her: Feare not, for thou shalt haue also this a sonne.ob difficultatem partus periclitari cœpit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium. 18And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.E stando ella per rendere l'anima pel dolore, e già in braccio alla morte, pose al figlio suo il nome di Benoni, cioè figliuolo del mio dolore: ma il padre chiamollo Beniamin, cioè figlio della destra.And her soule departing for paine, and death now at hand, she called the name of her sonne Benoni, that is the sonne of my paine: but his father called him Beniamin, that is the sonne of the right hand.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.

19So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.Morì adunque Rachele, e fu sepolta sulla strada, che mena ad Ephrata, che è Bethlehem.Rachel therfore died, and was buried in the hye way that leadeth to Ephrata, this same is Bethleem.Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quæ ducit Ephratam, hæc est Bethlehem. 20And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel’s monument, to this day.E Giacobbe eresse sulla sepoltura di lei un monumento: Questo è il monumento di Rachele fino al dì d'oggi.And Iacob erected a title ouer her sepulchre: This is the litle of Rachels monument, vntil this present day.Erexitque Jacob titulum super sepulchrum ejus: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in præsentem diem. 21Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower.Partitosi di là, piantò il padiglione di là della torre del gregge.Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flocke tower.Egressus inde, fixit tabernaculum trans Turrem gregis. 22And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.E mentre egli si stava in quel paese, Ruben andò, e dormì con Bala concubina di suo padre: e questi non lo ignorò. Or dodici erano i figliuoli di Giacobbe.And when he dwelt in that countrie: Ruben went, and slept with Bala his fathers concubine: which thing he was not ignorant of. And the sonnes of Iacob were twelue.Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben, et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui: quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Jacob duodecim. 23The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon.Figliuoli di Lia: primogenito Ruben, e Simeon, e Levi, e Giuda, e Issachar, e Zabulon.The sonnes of Lia: Ruben the first begotten, and Simeon, and Leui, and Iudas, and Issachar, and Zabulon.Filii Liæ: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Judas, et Issachar, et Zabulon. 24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.Figliuoli di Rachele: Giuseppe e Beniamin.The sonnes of Rachel: Ioseph and Beniamin.Filii Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin. 25The sons of Bala, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Nephthali.Figliuoli di Bala, schiava di Rachele: Dan, e Nephtali.The sonnes of Bala Rachels handmaid: Dan and Nepthali.Filii Balæ ancillæ Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali. 26The sons of Zelpha, Lia’s handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.Figliuoli di Zelpha, schiava di Lia: Gad, e Aser: questi sono i figliuoli di Giacobbe, che a lui nacquero nella Mesopotamia della Siria.The sonnes of Zelpha Lias handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sonnes of Iacob, that were borne to him in Mesopotamia of Siria.Filii Zelphæ ancillæ Liæ: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Jacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriæ.

27And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned.Andò poscia a trovar Isacco suo padre a Mambre, alla città di Arbee, che è Hebron, dove Abramo, e Isacco stettero pellegrini.He came also to Isaac his father in Mambre, the citie of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherin Abraham and Isaac soiourned.Venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre, civitatem Arbee, hæc est Hebron, in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac. 28And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.E tutti i giorni d'Isacco furono cento ottanta anni.And the dayes of Isaac were complete an hundred eyghtie yeares.Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum. 29And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.E consumato d'età si morì, e vecchio, e pieno di giorni si riunì al suo popolo: e Giacobbe ed Esaù suoi figliuoli lo seppellirono.And spent With age he died, and was put to his people, being old and ful of dayes: and Esau and Iacob his sonnes buryed him.Consumptusque ætate mortuus est: et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum: et sepelierunt eum Esau et Jacob filii sui.
