Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Awo Isaaka n’ayita Yakobo n’amuwa omukisa, n’amukuutira nti, “Towasanga, wadde omu ku bakazi Abakanani.
2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Golokoka ogende e Padanalaamu mu nnyumba ya Besweri kitaawe wa nnyoko, ofune omukazi omu ku bawala ba Labbaani mwannyina nnyoko.
3 And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
Katonda Ayinzabyonna akuwe omukisa, akwaze, weeyongere, era obeerenga n’abantu ab’enjawulo bangi.
4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
Akuwe emikisa gya Ibulayimu, era agiwe n’ezzadde lyo, olyoke ofune ensi mw’otambulira, Katonda gye yawa Ibulayimu.”
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Bw’atyo Isaaka n’asiibula Yakobo, Yakobo n’agenda e Padanalaamu ewa Labbaani, mutabani wa Besweri Omusuuli mwannyina Lebbeeka, nnyina wa Esawu ne Yakobo.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Esawu n’ategeera nga Isaaka awadde Yakobo omukisa, era ng’amusindise e Padanalaamu afuneyo omukazi, era nga bwe yamuwa omukisa yamukuutira nti, “Towasanga ku bakazi Abakanani,”
7 and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
era nga Yakobo agondedde kitaawe ne nnyina n’agenda e Padanalaamu.
8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
Awo n’ategeera nti abakazi Abakanani tebaasanyusa kitaawe Isaaka.
9 And Esau 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.
Esawu n’agenda eri Isimayiri n’awasa omukazi erinnya lye Makalasi, muwala wa Isimayiri, mutabani wa Ibulayimu, mwannyina wa Nebayoosi, n’amwongera ku bakazi be yalina.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
Awo Yakobo n’ava e Beeruseba n’ayolekera Kalani. N’atuuka mu kifo ekimu, n’asula awo ekiro ekyo, kubanga obudde bwali buzibye.
11 And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
N’addira erimu ku mayinja agaali mu kifo ekyo, n’alyezizika ne yeebaka.
12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
N’aloota ng’alaba eddaala eggwanvu nga liva ku nsi okutuuka mu ggulu, era nga bamalayika ba Katonda balikkirako era nga balinnyirako,
13 And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
era nga Mukama atudde waggulu waalyo. Mukama n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Nze Mukama Katonda wa Ibulayimu jjajjaawo, era Katonda wa Isaaka; ensi kw’ogalamidde ndigikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo.
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Era ezzadde lyo liriba ng’enfuufu y’oku nsi, era olibuna obugwanjuba n’obuvanjuba era n’obukiikakkono n’obukiikaddyo. Mu ggwe ne mu zadde lyo amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi mwe galiweerwa omukisa.
15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
Laba ndi wamu naawe, era nnaakukuumanga buli gy’onoogendanga yonna, era ndikukomyawo mu nsi eno, kubanga sirikuleka okutuusa nga mmaze okukola ekyo kye nkugambye.”
16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
Awo Yakobo n’ava mu tulo n’agamba nti, “Mazima ddala Mukama ali mu kifo kino, nze mbadde ssimanyi.”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
N’atya nnyo, n’agamba nti, “Ekifo kino nga kyantiisa! Ekifo kino ye nnyumba ya Katonda, era guno gwe mulyango gw’eggulu.”
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Awo Yakobo n’agolokoka ku makya, n’addira ejjinja lye yali yeezizise n’alisimba okuba empagi n’ayiwa amafuta ku mutwe gwalyo.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
Ekifo ekyo n’akituuma Beseri, songa ekibuga ekyo kyayitibwanga Luzi.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
Awo Yakobo ne yeerayirira ng’agamba nti, “Katonda bw’alibeera nange, n’ankuuma mu lugendo luno lwe ndiko, n’ampa emmere okulya era n’ebyokwambala ne nkomawo mirembe mu nnyumba ya kitange,
21 and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
olwo Mukama n’aba Katonda wange.
22 And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
Era ejjinja lino lye nsimbye okuba empagi liriba nnyumba ya Katonda, era n’ebyo byonna by’ompa ndikuwaako ekimu eky’ekkumi.”
