創世記 28
1 依撒格叫了雅各伯來，祝福他，吩咐他說：「你不要娶客納罕女人為妻。
And so Isaac clepide Jacob, and blesside hym, and comaundide to hym, and seide, Nyle thou take a wijf of the kyn of Canaan; but go thou,
2 你應起身往帕丹阿蘭你外祖父貝突耳家去，在那裏娶你舅父拉班的女兒為妻。
and walke forth in to Mesopotanye of Sirie, to the hows of Batuel, fadir of thi modir, and take to thee of thennus a wijf of the douytris of Laban, thin vncle.
3 願全能的天主祝福你，使你生育繁殖，成為一大家族。
Sotheli Almyyti God blesse thee, and make thee to encreesse, and multiplie thee, that thou be in to cumpanyes of puplis;
4 願天主將亞巴郎的祝福賜與你和你的後裔，使你承受你所住的地方，即天主賜與亞巴郎的土地作為產業。」
and God yyue to thee the blessyngis of Abraham, and to thi seed aftir thee, that thou welde the lond of thi pilgrymage, which he bihiyte to thi grauntsir.
5 依撒格就這樣打發了雅各伯往帕丹阿蘭，投往阿蘭人貝突耳的兒子拉班，即雅各伯和厄撒烏的母親黎貝加的哥哥裏去了。
And whanne Ysaac hadde left hym, he yede forth, and cam in to Mesopotanye of Sirie, to Laban, the sone of Batuel of Sirie, the brother of Rebecca, his modir.
6 厄撒烏見依撒烏祝福了雅各伯，打發他到帕丹阿蘭去，在那裏娶妻；祝福他時還吩咐他說：「不要娶客納罕女人為妻。」
Forsothe Esau seiy that his fadir hadde blessid Jacob, and hadde sent him in to Mesopotanye of Sirie, that he schulde wedde a wijf of thennus, and that aftir the blessyng he comaundide to Jacob, and seide, Thou schalt not take a wijf of the douytris of Canaan;
7 厄撒烏見雅各伯聽從父母的命，往帕丹阿蘭去了，
and that Jacob obeiede to his fadir `and modir, and yede in to Sirie;
8 便明白父親依撒格不喜歡客納罕女子。
also Esau preuyde that his fadir bihelde not gladli the douytris of Canaan.
9 所以他去了依市瑪耳那裏，除自己所有的兩個妻子外，又娶了亞巴郎之子依市瑪耳的女兒乃巴約特的妹妹瑪哈拉特為妻。
And he yede to Ismael, and weddide a wijf, with out these whiche he hadde bifore, Melech, the douyter of Ismael, sone of Abraham, the sistir of Nabaioth.
10 雅各伯離開貝爾舍巴，往哈蘭去了。
Therfor Jacob yede out of Bersabee, and yede to Aran.
11 他來到一個地方，因太陽已落，就在那裏過宿，隨地拿了一塊石頭，放在頭底下，就在那地方躺下睡了。
And whanne he hadde come to sum place, and wolde reste ther inne aftir the goynge doun of the sunne, he took of the stoonus that laien ther, and he puttide vndur his heed, and slepte in the same place.
12 他作了一夢：見一個梯子直立在地上，梯頂與天相接；天主的使者在梯子上，上去下來。
And he seiye in sleep a laddir stondynge on the erthe, and the cop ther of touchinge heuene; and he seiy Goddis aungels stiynge vp and goynge doun ther bi,
13 上主立在梯上說：「我是上主，你父亞巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主。我要將你所躺的地方，賜給你和你的後裔。
and the Lord fastned to the laddir, seiynge to hym, Y am the Lord God of Abraham, thi fadir, and God of Isaac; Y schal yyue to thee and to thi seed the lond in which thou slepist.
14 你的後裔要多得如地上的灰塵；你要向東西南北擴展，地上的萬民都要因你和你的後裔蒙受祝福。
And thi seed schal be as the dust of erthe, thou schalt be alargid to the eest, and west, and north, and south; and alle lynagis of erthe schulen be blessid in thee and in thi seed.
15 看我與你同在；你不論到那裏，我必護佑你，領你回到此地。我決不離棄你，直到我實踐了我對你所許的。」
And Y schal be thi kepere, whidur euer thou schalt go; and Y schal lede thee ayen in to this lond, and Y schal not leeue no but Y schal fil alle thingis whiche Y seide.
16 雅各伯一覺醒來，說：「上主實在在這地方，我竟不知道。」
And whanne Jacob hadde wakyd of sleep, he seide, Verili the Lord is in this place, and Y wiste not.
17 他又滿懷敬畏地說：「這地方多麼可畏! 這裏不是別處，乃是天主的住所，上天之門。」
And he seide dredynge, Hou worschipful is this place! Here is noon other thing no but the hows of God, and the yate of heuene.
18 雅各伯清早一起來，就把那塊放在頭底下的石頭，立作石柱，在頂上倒了油，
Therfor Jacob roos eerli, and took the stoon which he hadde put vndur his heed, and reiside in to a title, and helde oile aboue.
19 給那地方起名叫貝特耳，原先那城名叫路次。
And he clepide the name of that citee Bethel, which was clepid Lusa bifore.
20 然後雅各伯許願說：「若是天主與我同在，在我所走的路上護佑我，賜我豐衣足食，
Also he auowide a vow, and seide, If God is with me, and kepith me in the weie in which Y go, and yyueth to me looues to ete, and clothis to be clothid,
21 使我平安回到父家，上主實在當是我的天主。
and Y turne ayen in prosperite to the hows of my fadir, the Lord schal be in to God to me.
22 我立作石柱的這塊石頭，必要成為天主的住所；凡你賜與我的，我必給你奉獻十分之一。」
And this stoon, which Y reiside in to a title, schal be clepid the hows of God, and Y schal offre tithis to thee of alle thingis whiche thou schalt yyue to me.
