Chakruok 28
1 Kuom mano Isaka noluongo Jakobo mogwedhe kendo osieme konyise niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
2 Chak wuoth idhi Padan Aram, e od Bethuel ma kwaru. Kend achiel kuom nyi Laban ma neru.
Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 Mad Nyasaye Maratego gwedhi kendo inyaa mi kwanu medre nyaka ubed oganda mathoth.
May God Almighty bless you, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude of peoples.
4 Mad ogwedhi kod nyikwayi kaka nogwedho Ibrahim mondo ikaw piny makoro idakieni kaka jadak, ma en piny mane Nyasaye omiyo Ibrahim.”
May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants after you, that you may inherit the land where you have been living, which God gave to Abraham.”
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 Jacob away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
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.”
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take a wife from there. He also saw that Isaac had blessed him and given him a command, saying, “You must not take a wife from the women of Canaan.”
7 Mi Jakobo nowinjo wach min gi wuon modhi Padan Aram.
Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan Aram.
8 Esau nofwenyo kaka Isaka wuon mare ne ok mor gi nyi jo-Kanaan.
Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
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.
So he went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Jakobo nowuok Bersheba kendo nodhi Haran.
Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
11 Kane ochopo kamoro, nobworo gotieno nikech chiengʼ nosepodho. Nonindo kanyo moteno wiye gi kidi moro mane okwanyo kanyo.
He came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones in that place, put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 Noleko ni oneno ngas konyono piny to wiye ochopo e polo kendo malaika mag Nyasaye ne luwe kadhi malo kendo lor piny.
He dreamed and saw a stairway set up on the earth. Its top reached to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and descending 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.
Behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.
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.
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread far out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south. Through you and through your descendants will all the families 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.”
Behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you into this land again; for I will not leave you. I will do all that I have promised to you.”
16 Kane Jakobo ochiewo oa e nindo, noparo niya, “Adier Jehova Nyasaye nika kendo ne ok angʼeyo.”
Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 Luoro nomake mi owacho niya, “Ma kama lich manade! Nyaka bedni ma en od Nyasaye; ma en dhoranga polo.”
He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. 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.
Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 Nochako kanyo ni Bethel to kinde mokwongo nying dalano niluongo ni Luz.
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was 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,
Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will protect me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
21 mi anadogi maber e od wuora eka Jehova Nyasaye nobed Nyasacha,
so that I return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh will be my God.
22 kendo kidi ma asechungo kaka sironi, nobed od Nyasaye kendo duto ma imiya, namiyi achiel kuom apar.”
Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
