Chakruok 28
1 Kuom mano Isaka noluongo Jakobo mogwedhe kendo osieme konyise niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.
And Isaac calleth unto Jacob, and blesseth him, and commandeth him, and saith to him, 'Thou dost not take a wife of the daughters of Caanan;
2 Chak wuoth idhi Padan Aram, e od Bethuel ma kwaru. Kend achiel kuom nyi Laban ma neru.
rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother's father, and take for thyself from 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 God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples;
4 Mad ogwedhi kod nyikwayi kaka nogwedho Ibrahim mondo ikaw piny makoro idakieni kaka jadak, ma en piny mane Nyasaye omiyo Ibrahim.”
and He doth give to thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, to cause thee to possess the land of thy sojournings, 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.
And Isaac sendeth away Jacob, and he goeth to Padan-Aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, brother of Rebekah, 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 seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife — in his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan —
7 Mi Jakobo nowinjo wach min gi wuon modhi Padan Aram.
that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram —
8 Esau nofwenyo kaka Isaka wuon mare ne ok mor gi nyi jo-Kanaan.
and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of 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.
and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives, to himself, for a wife.
10 Jakobo nowuok Bersheba kendo nodhi Haran.
And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,
11 Kane ochopo kamoro, nobworo gotieno nikech chiengʼ nosepodho. Nonindo kanyo moteno wiye gi kidi moro mane okwanyo kanyo.
and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down 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 he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by 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 lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, 'I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee 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 hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.
15 Anabed kodi kendo anariti kamoro amora ma idhiye nyaka adwoki e pinyni. Ok anaweyi nyaka chop atim mana ma asesingorani.”
'And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'
16 Kane Jakobo ochiewo oa e nindo, noparo niya, “Adier Jehova Nyasaye nika kendo ne ok angʼeyo.”
And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, 'Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;'
17 Luoro nomake mi owacho niya, “Ma kama lich manade! Nyaka bedni ma en od Nyasaye; ma en dhoranga polo.”
and he feareth, and saith, 'How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.'
18 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Jakobo nokawo kidi mane otenogo wiye kendo nochunge ka siro mi oolo mo e wiye.
And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing pillar, and poureth oil upon its top,
19 Nochako kanyo ni Bethel to kinde mokwongo nying dalano niluongo ni Luz.
and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.
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 voweth a vow, saying, 'Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on —
21 mi anadogi maber e od wuora eka Jehova Nyasaye nobed Nyasacha,
when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,
22 kendo kidi ma asechungo kaka sironi, nobed od Nyasaye kendo duto ma imiya, namiyi achiel kuom apar.”
then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me — tithing I tithe to Thee.'
