Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:
Na ka karanga a Ihaka i a Hakopa, ka manaaki i a ia, ka tohutohu ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Kaua koe e tango wahine o nga tamahine o Kanaana.
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.
Whakatika, haere ki Paranaarama ki te whare o Petuere, papa o tou whaea; ka tango mai i reira i tetahi wahine mau o nga tamahine a Rapana, tungane o tou whaea.
3 And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.
A ma te Atua Kaha Rawa koe e manaaki, mana koe e mea kia hua, kia nui, kia meinga hoki hei huihuinga iwi;
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.
Mana e homai ki a koe te manaaki o Aperahama, ki a koutou tahi ko ou uri; kia riro ai i a koe te whenua e noho manene nei koe, i homai nei hoki e te Atua ki a Aperahama.
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.
Na tonoa atu ana a Hakopa e Ihaka: a haere ana ia ki Paranaarama ki a Rapana, ki te tama a Petuere Hiriani, ki te tungane o Ripeka, whaea o Hakopa raua ko Ehau.
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:
A ka kite a Ehau kua manaaki a Ihaka i a Hakopa, kua tono hoki i a ia ki Paranaarama ki te tiki wahine mana i reira; kua tohutohu hoki ki a ia, i a ia e manaaki ana i a ia, kua mea, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine i nga tamahine o Kanaana;
7 And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria:
A kua rongo a Hakopa ki tona papa raua ko tona whaea, kua riro hoki ki Paranaarama;
8 Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:
A ka kite a Ehau e kino ana nga tamahine o Kanaana ki te titiro a Ihaka, a tona papa;
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.
Na haere ana a Ehau ki a Ihimaera, a tangohia ana mai e ia ki roto ki ana wahine a Maharata, te tamahine a Ihimaera, tama a Aperahama, te tuahine o Nepaioto, hei wahine mana.
10 But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
Na ka turia atu e Hakopa i Peerehepa, a haere ana ki 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.
A ka pono atu ia ki tetahi wahi, ka moe i reira, kua to hoki te ra; na ka tikina atu e ia tetahi o nga kohatu o taua wahi, a meatia ana e ia hei urunga mona, ka takoto ia i taua wahi, ka moe.
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;
Na moe iho ia, ko tetahi arawhata e tu ana i runga i te whenua, ko tona pito i tutuki ki te rangi: na, ko nga anahera a te Atua e piki ana, e heke ana i runga i taua mea.
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.
Na, ko Ihowa e tu ana i runga atu i taua mea, e mea ana, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa, ko te Atua hoki o Ihaka: ko te whenua e takoto na koe ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki ou uri ano hoki;
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.
A ka rite ou uri ki te puehu o te oneone, ka tohatoha atu koe ki te hauauru, ki te rawhiti, ki te raki, ki te tonga: a mau, ma tou uri hoki e manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te whenua.
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.
Na, kei a koe tenei ahau, ka tiaki ahau i a koe i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe, ka whakahoki mai ano ahau i a koe ki tenei whenua; e kore hoki ahau e whakarere i a koe, kia oti ra ano taku i ki atu ai ki a koe.
16 And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
Na ka oho ake a Hakopa i tana moe, ka mea, He pono kei tenei wahi a Ihowa; a kihai ahau i mohio.
17 And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
Na ka wehi ia, kamea, Ano te wehi o tenei wahi! ehara tenei i te mea ke atu i te whare o te Atua, a ko te kuwaha tenei ki te rangi.
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.
Na ka ara wawe a Hakopa i te ata, a ka mau ki te kohatu i waiho ra hei urunga mona, whakaturia ana e ia hei pou, ringihia iho e ia he hinu ki runga.
19 And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza.
A huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Peteere: ko Rutu ia te ingoa o taua pa i mua.
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,
Na ka puaki ta Hakopa kupu taurangi, ka mea ia, Ki te mea ka tata mai ki ahau te Atua, a ka tiakina ahau e ia i tenei ara e haere nei ahau, a ka homai e ia ki ahau he taro hei kai, me tetahi kakahu hei kakahu,
21 And I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God:
A ka hoki mai ahau i runga i te rangimarie ki te whare o toku papa; na, ko Ihowa hei Atua ki ahau:
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.
A, ko tenei kohatu i whakaturia nei e ahau hei pou, ka waiho hei whare mo te Atua; a, o nga mea katoa e homai e koe ki ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga whakatekau.
