Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:
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 But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother’s father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle.
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 God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.
Ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hitahy anao ka hahamaro fara anao sy hampitombo anao, mba ho tonga firenena maro ianao;
4 And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.
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 And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.
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 seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:
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 obeying his parents was gone into Syria:
koa Jakoba efa nanaraka ny tenin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny ka lasa nankany Mesopotamia;
8 Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:
ary hitan’ i Esao fa efa ratsy teo imason’ Isaka rainy ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita:
9 He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nabajoth.
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 But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
Dia nivoaka avy tany Beri-sheba Jakoba ka nankany Harana.
11 And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same 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 he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by 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 leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee 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 dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL 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 I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said.
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 when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed 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 trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and 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, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon 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 the city Bethel, which before was called Luza.
Ary ny anaran’ izany fitoerana izany dia nataony hoe Betela, fa Lozy no anaran’ ilay tanàna tany aloha.
20 And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall 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 I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God:
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 title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.
ary ity vato izay naoriko ho tsangam-bato ity ho tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary izay rehetra homenao ahy, dia homeko Anao tokoa ny ampahafolony.
