Genesis 28
1 And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
Ary Isaka nampaka an’ i Jakoba ka nitso-drano azy ary namepetra azy hoe: Aza maka vady avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita ianao.
2 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.
Miainga ka mankanesa any Mesopotamia, any amin’ ny tranon’ i Betoela rain-dreninao; dia makà vady any, avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Labana anadahin-dreninao.
3 And may my God bless thee, and increase thee, and multiply thee, and thou shalt become gatherings of nations.
Ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hitahy anao ka hahamaro fara anao sy hampitombo anao, mba ho tonga firenena maro ianao;
4 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.
ary homeny anao anie ny fitahiana an’ i Abrahama, dia ho anao sy ny taranakao koa, mba handovanao ny tany fivahinianao, izay efa nomen’ Andriamanitra an’ i Abrahama.
5 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.
Ary Isaka nampandeha an’ i Jakoba ka dia lasa izy nankany Mesopotamia, ho any amin’ i Labana, zanak’ i Betoela Syriana, anadahin-dRebeka, renin’ i Jakoba sy Esao.
6 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;
Ary nony hitan’ i Esao fa Isaka efa nitso-drano an’ i Jakoba ka efa nampandeha azy ho any Mesopotamia haka vady any ary nitso-drano azy sady namepetra azy hoe: Aza maka vady avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita ianao;
7 and [that] Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
koa Jakoba efa nanaraka ny tenin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny ka lasa nankany Mesopotamia;
8 And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
ary hitan’ i Esao fa efa ratsy teo imason’ Isaka rainy ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita:
9 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.
dia lasa Esao nankany amin’ Isimaela ka naka an’ i Mahalota, zanakavavin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Abrahama, sady anabavin’ i Nebaiota, ho vadiny, ho fanampin’ ny vady izay nananany.
10 And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
Dia nivoaka avy tany Beri-sheba Jakoba ka nankany Harana.
11 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,
Ary tonga teo amin’ ny fitoerana anankiray izy ka nandry teo niloaka alina, satria efa maty ny masoandro; dia naka vato tamin’ izany fitoerana izany izy, ka nataony ondana, dia nandry teo izy.
12 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.
Ary nanonofy izy, ka, indro, nisy tohatra niorina tamin’ ny tany, ka nipaka tamin’ ny lanitra ny lohany; ary, indreo, nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra niakatra sy nidina teo aminy.
13 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.
Ary, indro, Jehovah niseho teo amboniny ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama rainao sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka; ny tany izay andrianao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao;
14 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.
ary ny taranakao ho be tahaka ny vovoka amin’ ny tany; dia hiely any andrefana sy any atsinanana ary any avaratra sy any atsimo ianao; ary aminao sy ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
15 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.
Ary, indro, Izaho momba anao ka hiaro anao amin’ izay lalan-kalehanao rehetra ary hampody anao indray ho amin’ ity tany ity; fa tsy handao anao Aho mandra-panaoko izay voalazako taminao.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
Ary Jakoba nahatsiaro tamin’ ny torimasony, dia nanao hoe: Ato amin’ ity fitoerana ity tokoa Jehovah, fa izaho no tsy nahalala.
17 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.
Dia raiki-tahotra izy ka nanao hoe: Endrey, mahatahotra ity fitoerana ity! tsy hafa ity, fa tranon’ Andriamanitra sy vavahadin’ ny lanitra.
18 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.
Ary nifoha maraina koa Jakoba, dia naka ilay vato izay nataony ondana ka nanorina azy ho tsangam-bato, dia nampidina diloilo teo aminy.
19 And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
Ary ny anaran’ izany fitoerana izany dia nataony hoe Betela, fa Lozy no anaran’ ilay tanàna tany aloha.
20 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,
Dia nivoady Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Raha homba ahy Andriamanitra ka hiaro ahy amin’ izao lalana alehako izao, ary hanome ahy mofo hohaniko sy lamba hitafiako,
21 and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
ka ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara any amin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko aho, dia Jehovah no ho Andriamanitro,
22 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.
ary ity vato izay naoriko ho tsangam-bato ity ho tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary izay rehetra homenao ahy, dia homeko Anao tokoa ny ampahafolony.
