1 Amaiba: le, Aisage da Ya: igobe misa: ne sia: i. E da ema hahawane dogolegele sia: i. E amane sia: i, “Di da Ga: ina: ne a: fini mae lama!
And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.
2 Be di da Mesoubouda: imia soge amo dia aowa Bediuele ea soge amoga masa. Amogai, di da dia daiya La: iba: ne, amo ea uda mano afae lama.
But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.
3 Gode Bagadedafa da dia lasu hou hahawane dogolegele hamomu amola dima mano bagohame imunu da defea. Amasea, di da fifi asi gala bagohame ilima ada agoane ba: mu da defea.
And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.
4 Gode da A: ibalaha: me hahawane dogolegele fidi dagoi. Amo defele, E da di amola digaga fi dilima hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea. Dia wali esalebe soge amo Gode da A: ibalaha: mema i, amo soge di lamu da defea.”
And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”
5 Amalalu, Aisage da Ya: igobe amo Mesoubouda: imia sogega asunasi. E da La: iba: nema asunasi. La: iba: ne da Bediuele (A: ila: mia dunu) amo ea mano esalu. E da Lebega (Ya: igobe amola Iso ame) amo ea ola.
And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.
6 Aisage da Ya: igobema hahawane dogolegele sia: i, amola Badane Alame amoga uda lamusa: asunasi, amo huluane Iso da nabi dagoi. E eno amane nabi amo Aisage da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Ga: ina: ne uda maedafa lama.”
But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’
7 Ya: igobe da ada amola ame ela sia: nababeba: le, Badane Alame sogega asi dagoi, amo amola e da ba: i.
and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
8 Amanoba, e da ea ada da Ga: ina: ne uda hahawane hame ba: i amo dawa: i galu.
having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
9 Amaiba: le, e da Isiama: ile (A: ibalaha: me ea mano) ema asili, amola Ma: ihala: de (Niba: iode ea dalusi) amo lai dagoi. Ma: ihala: de da Isiama: ile ea idiwi galu.
he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
10 Ya: igobe da Biasiba moilai yolesili, Halane moilaiga doaga: musa: asi.
Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
11 Eso dabe, daeya, e da sogebi afae doaga: le, gele afae lale, busafugulu hamone, gola midi.
And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.
12 E simasia ba: i. E fa: gu bagade, osoboga bugila dalebe ba: i. Fa: gu ea banuguma, Hebene muagado doaga: i. Gode Ea a: igele dunu bagohame fa: guba: le gado heda: lebe amola gudu dalebe ba: i.
And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,
13 Amalalu, e da Hina Gode ema dafulili lelebe ba: i. Hina Gode da Ya: igobema amane sia: , “Na da dia ada A: ibalaha: me ea Gode, amola Aisage ea Gode. Dia gola midi soge na digili imunu.
and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.
14 Dia mano ilia da osobo ea su idi defele agoane heda: mu. Dia fi ilia da soge guma: goe amola gusugoe, ga (south) amola ga (north) amo huluane nabamu. Na da dia fi amo ganodini hawa: hamosea, dunu fifi asi gala huluane da hahawane dogolegesu bagade ba: mu.
And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.
15 Mae gogolema! Dilia da habidili ahoasea, Na amola da di gaga: musa: oule masunu. Fa: nowane Na da di amo sogega bu oule misunu. Na da di mae yolesili, Na ilegele sia: i liligi huluane didili hamomu.”
And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”
16 Ya: igobe da bu nedigili amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Hina Gode da gui soge ganodini esala. E da guiguda: esala, be na da hame dawa: i galu.”
And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 E da bagade beda: i galu amola amane sia: i, “Amo soge ganodini na da bagade beda: i. Amo da Gode Ea diasu. Dafawane! Amo da Hebene heda: su logo holei gala.”
And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”
18 Golale hahabe, Ya: igobe da wa: legadole, gele ea busafugului amo lale, Godema dawa: ma: ne wanonesi. E da amo gele wanonesisu Godema modale ligiagama: ne, amo da: iya olife susuligi sogadigi.
Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.
19 Amo sogebiga e da Bedele dio asuli. (Moilai amo sogebi galu da musa: Luse)
And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
20 Amalalu, Ya: igobe da Godema amane ilegele sia: i, “Dafawane! Di da na masunu logo noga: le ouligisia, amola na ha: i manu amola na abula nama iasea,
And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21 amola na da hahawane na ada diasuga bu doaga: sea, Di da na Godedafa esaloma: ne, na da ilegesa.
and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
22 Amo wanonesisu na Dima dawa: digima: ne bugi da Dima nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi agoane. Amola Dia nama iasu liligi na da nabuane momogili, afadafa Dima bu imunu.”
and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”
