WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον Βαιθὴλ, καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ· καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι, ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.

1 Y DIJO Dios á Jacob: Levántate, sube á Beth-el, y estáte allí; y haz allí un altar al Dios que te apareció cuando huías de tu hermano Esaú.

1 God 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.”

2 Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ἄρατε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν, καὶ καθαρίσθητε, καὶ ἀλλάξατε τὰς στολὰς ὑμῶν.

2 Entonces Jacob dijo á su familia y á todos los que con él estaban: Quitad los dioses ajenos que hay entre vosotros, y limpiaos, y mudad vuestros vestidos.

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

3 Καὶ ἀναστάντες ἀναβῶμεν εἰς Βαιθὴλ, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐπακούσαντί μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, ὃς ἦν μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ διέσωσέ με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθην.

3 Y levantémonos, y subamos á Beth-el; y haré allí altar al Dios que me respondió en el día de mi angustia, y ha sido conmigo en el camino que he andado.

3 Let’s 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 on the way which I went.”

4 Καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Ἰακὼβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν· καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ Ἰακὼβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέβινθον τὴν ἐν Σηκίμοις· καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὰ, ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

4 Así dieron á Jacob todos los dioses ajenos que había en poder de ellos, y los zarzillos que estaban en sus orejas; y Jacob los escondió debajo de una encina, que estaba junto á Sichêm.

4 They 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.

5 Καὶ ἐξῇρεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ Σηκίμων· καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

5 Y partiéronse, y el terror de Dios fué sobre las ciudades que había en sus alrededores, y no siguieron tras los hijos de Jacob.

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

6 Ἦλθε δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Λουζὰ ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, ἥ ἐστι Βαιθὴλ, αὐτὸς, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, ὃς ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

6 Y llegó Jacob á Luz, que está en tierra de Canaán, (esta es Beth-el) él y todo el pueblo que con él estaba;

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

7 Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου, Βαιθήλ· ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς, ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

7 Y edificó allí un altar, y llamó al lugar El-Beth-el, porque allí le había aparecido Dios, cuando huía de su hermano.

7 He 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.

8 Ἀπέθανε δὲ Δεβόῤῥα, ἡ τρόφος Ῥεβέκκας, καὶ ἐτάφη κατώτερον Βαιθὴλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς, βάλανος πένθους.

8 Entonces murió Débora, ama de Rebeca, y fué sepultada á las raíces de Beth-el, debajo de una encina: y llamóse su nombre Allon-Bacuth.

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

9 Ὤφθη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰακὼβ ἔτι ἐν Λουζᾷ, ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας τῆς Συρίας· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεὸς.

9 Y aparecióse otra vez Dios á Jacob, cuando se había vuelto de Padan-aram, y bendíjole.

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

10 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς, τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι Ἰακὼβ, ἀλλʼ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

10 Y díjole Dios: Tu nombre es Jacob; no se llamará más tu nombre Jacob, sino Israel será tu nombre: y llamó su nombre Israel.

10 God 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.

11 Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς, ἐγὼ ὁ Θεός σου· αὐξάνου, καὶ πληθύνου· ἔθνη καὶ συναγωγαὶ ἐθνῶν ἔσονται ἐκ σοῦ, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου ἐξελεύσονται.

11 Y díjole Dios: Yo soy el Dios Omnipotente: crece y multiplícate; una nación y conjunto de naciones procederá de ti, y reyes saldrán de tus lomos:

11 God 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.

12 Καὶ τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκα Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν· σοὶ ἔσται· καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τῆν γῆν ταύτην.

12 Y la tierra que yo he dado á Abraham y á Isaac, la daré á ti: y á tu simiente después de ti daré la tierra.

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

13 Ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐλάλησε μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

13 Y fuése de él Dios, del lugar donde con él había hablado.

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

14 Καὶ ἔστησεν Ἰακὼβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεὸς, στήλην λιθίνην· καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν σπονδὴν, καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔλαιον.

14 Y Jacob erigió un título en el lugar donde había hablado con él, un título de piedra, y derramó sobre él libación, y echó sobre él aceite.

14 Jacob 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.

15 Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου, ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεὸς, Βαιθήλ.

15 Y llamó Jacob el nombre de aquel lugar donde Dios había hablado con él, Beth-el.

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

16 Ἀπάρας δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐκ Βαιθὴλ, ἔπηξε τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου Γαδέρ· ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν εἰς Χαβραθὰ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὴν Ἐφραθᾶ, ἔτεκε Ῥαχήλ· καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ.

16 Y partieron de Beth-el, y había aún como media legua de tierra para llegar á Ephrata, cuando parió Rachêl, y hubo trabajo en su parto.

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

17 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρὼς αὐτὴν τίκτειν, εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα, θάρσει, καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοι ἐστὶν υἱός.

17 Y aconteció, que como había trabajo en su parir, díjole la partera: No temas, que también tendrás este hijo.

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

18 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχὴν, ἀπέθνησκε γὰρ, ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου· ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Βενιαμίν.

18 Y acaeció que al salírsele el alma, (pues murió) llamó su nombre Benoni; mas su padre lo llamó Benjamín.

18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Ἀπέθανε δὲ Ῥαχὴλ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου Ἐφραθᾶ· αὕτη ἐστὶ Βηθλεέμ.

19 Así murió Rachêl, y fué sepultada en el camino de Ephrata, la cual es Beth-lehem.

19 Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).

20 Καὶ ἔστησεν Ἰακὼβ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου αὐτῆς· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ στήλη ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου Ῥαχὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

20 Y puso Jacob un título sobre su sepultura: este es el título de la sepultura de Rachêl hasta hoy. 21 Y partió Israel, y tendió su tienda de la otra parte de Migdaleder.

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα κατῴκησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ, ἐπορεύθη Ῥουβὴν, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ Βαλλὰς, τῆς παλλακῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ· καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ. Ἦσαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ, δώδεκα.

22 Y acaeció, morando Israel en aquella tierra, que fué Rubén y durmió con Bilha la concubina de su padre; lo cual llegó á entender Israel. Ahora bien, los hijos de Israel fueron doce:

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

23 Υἱοὶ Λείας, πρωτότοκος Ἰακὼβ, Ῥουβὴν, Συμεὼν, Λευὶ, Ἰούδας, Ἰσσάχαρ, Ζαβουλών.

23 Los hijos de Lea: Rubén el primogénito de Jacob, y Simeón, y Leví, y Judá, é Issachâr, y Zabulón.

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

24 Υἱοὶ δὲ Ῥαχὴλ, Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ Βενιαμίν.

24 Los hijos de Rachêl: José, y Benjamín.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 Υἱοὶ δὲ Βαλλᾶς παιδίσκης Ῥαχὴλ, Δαν, καὶ Νεφθαλείμ.

25 Y los hijos de Bilha, sierva de Rachêl: Dan, y Nephtalí.

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

26 Υἱοὶ δὲ Ζελφᾶς παιδίσκης Λείας, Γὰδ, καὶ Ἀσήρ· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ, οἳ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ ἐν Μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς Συρίας.

26 Y los hijos de Zilpa, sierva de Lea: Gad, y Aser. Estos fueron los hijos de Jacob, que le nacieron en Padan-aram.

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

27 Ἦλθε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Μαμβρῆ, εἰς πόλιν τοῦ πεδίου· αὕτη ἐστὶ Χεβρὼν ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν, οὗ παρῴκησεν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαάκ.

27 Y vino Jacob á Isaac su padre á Mamre, á la ciudad de Arba, que es Hebrón, donde habitaron Abraham é Isaac.

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

28 Ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι Ἰσαὰκ, ἃς ἔζησεν, ἔτη ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα.

28 Y fueron los días de Isaac ciento ochenta años.

28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Καὶ ἐκλείπων Ἰσαὰκ ἀπέθανε, καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν Ἡσαῦ καὶ Ἰακὼβ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.

29 Y exhaló Isaac el espíritu, y murió, y fué recogido á sus pueblos, viejo y harto de días; y sepultáronlo Esaú y Jacob sus hijos.

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

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

So then that Angel, who is understood to be the Lord Jesus, saith to Jacob, "Thou shalt not be any more called Jacob, but Israel shall thy name be," which is by interpretation, "Seeing God." After this He touched the sinew of his thigh, the broad part, that is, of the thigh, and it dried up; and Jacob became lame.
