Chakruok 28
1 Kuom mano Isaka noluongo Jakobo mogwedhe kendo osieme konyise niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.
And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
2 Chak wuoth idhi Padan Aram, e od Bethuel ma kwaru. Kend achiel kuom nyi Laban ma neru.
Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of thy mother, and take to thyself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 Mad Nyasaye Maratego gwedhi kendo inyaa mi kwanu medre nyaka ubed oganda mathoth.
And may my God bless thee, and increase thee, and multiply thee, and thou shalt become gatherings of nations.
4 Mad ogwedhi kod nyikwayi kaka nogwedho Ibrahim mondo ikaw piny makoro idakieni kaka jadak, ma en piny mane Nyasaye omiyo Ibrahim.”
And may he give thee the blessing of my father Abraam, even to thee and to thy seed after thee, to inherit the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
5 Eka Isaka nogolo Jakobo modhi kendo Jakobo nodhi Padan Aram, ir Laban wuod Bethuel ja-Aram, owad gi Rebeka, mane min Jakobo kod Esau.
So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 Koro Esau nofwenyo ni Isaka osegwedho Jakobo kendo oseore Padan Aram mondo odhi okend kuno. Nowinjo bende ni kane Isaka gwedho Jakobo, nochike niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.”
And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
7 Mi Jakobo nowinjo wach min gi wuon modhi Padan Aram.
and [that] Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
8 Esau nofwenyo kaka Isaka wuon mare ne ok mor gi nyi jo-Kanaan.
And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
9 Kuom mano Esau nodhi ir Ishmael mi okendo Mahalath nyamin Nebayoth mane nyar Ishmael wuod Ibrahim, mondo obed chiege ewi monde mane okwongo kendo.
Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
10 Jakobo nowuok Bersheba kendo nodhi Haran.
And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
11 Kane ochopo kamoro, nobworo gotieno nikech chiengʼ nosepodho. Nonindo kanyo moteno wiye gi kidi moro mane okwanyo kanyo.
And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
12 Noleko ni oneno ngas konyono piny to wiye ochopo e polo kendo malaika mag Nyasaye ne luwe kadhi malo kendo lor piny.
and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
13 To ewi ngasno gi malo Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼie kawacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach wuonu Ibrahim kendo Nyasach Isaka. Piny minindoeni abiro miyi gi nyikwayi.
And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
14 Nyikwayi nobed mangʼeny ka kwoyo, kendo unudag koa yo podho chiengʼ nyaka wuok chiengʼ, bende koa yo nyandwat nyaka yo milambo. Ogendini duto manie piny nogwedh kokadho kuomi kod nyikwayi.
And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
15 Anabed kodi kendo anariti kamoro amora ma idhiye nyaka adwoki e pinyni. Ok anaweyi nyaka chop atim mana ma asesingorani.”
And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee.
16 Kane Jakobo ochiewo oa e nindo, noparo niya, “Adier Jehova Nyasaye nika kendo ne ok angʼeyo.”
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 Luoro nomake mi owacho niya, “Ma kama lich manade! Nyaka bedni ma en od Nyasaye; ma en dhoranga polo.”
And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Jakobo nokawo kidi mane otenogo wiye kendo nochunge ka siro mi oolo mo e wiye.
And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 Nochako kanyo ni Bethel to kinde mokwongo nying dalano niluongo ni Luz.
And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
20 Eka Jakobo nokwongʼore kawacho niya, “Ka Nyasaye nobed koda kendo norita e wuodhani ma adhiye kendo miya chiemo ma achamo kod lewni ma arwako,
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 mi anadogi maber e od wuora eka Jehova Nyasaye nobed Nyasacha,
and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
22 kendo kidi ma asechungo kaka sironi, nobed od Nyasaye kendo duto ma imiya, namiyi achiel kuom apar.”
And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatsoever thou shalt give me, I will tithe a tenth for thee.
