Genesis 28
1 Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him.
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma denu e nae, “Rena malolole! Ho afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan.
2 “Leave right away and go to Paddan-aram, to the home of Bethuel, your mother's father. Find yourself a wife there—a daughter of Laban, your mother's brother.
Te muu sia Padan Aram, sia baꞌi Betuel ume na, fo sao mala toꞌo Labꞌan ma ana feto na esa.
3 God Almighty bless you and may your descendants be so numerous that you become the ancestor of many nations.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain Mana Koasa fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, fo ho umbu-ana mara ramahefu, ma tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ.
4 May he grant you and your descendants the same blessing he gave to Abraham, so that you may take over the land where you now live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
Naa fo, Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli Na neu Abraham tudꞌa neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi ma. Dei fo hambu mala rae fo Lamatualain helu-fuli fee neu Abraham a.
5 So Isaac sent Jacob on his way. He traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Isak olaꞌ basa ma, ana mboꞌi Yakob Padan Aram neu, nisiꞌ toꞌo Labꞌan no baꞌi Betuel na umen.
6 Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife there, and that when he blessed him he ordered him, “Don't marry a Canaanite woman.”
Boe ma Esau rena oi Isak fee Yakob papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, ma ai e fo afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan. Ana o rena oi, ama na denu odꞌi na neu sao toꞌo na ana feto na esa sia Padan Aram
7 He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram.
Yakob rena aman no inan parenda na, de lao Padan Aram neu.
8 This made Esau realize how much his father disliked Canaanite women.
Esau o bubꞌuluꞌ oi, ama na nda hii eni sao, atahori Kanaꞌan ra sa.
9 So he went to Ishmael's family and married an additional wife—Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
De ana nisiꞌ ama aꞌa na Ismael, de sao nala Ismael anan, naran Mahalat. Mahalat ia, Nebayot feton.
10 In the meantime Jacob had set off from Beersheba on his way to Haran.
Leleꞌ naa Yakob lao hela Beer Syeba, fo nae Haran neu.
11 He arrived after sunset at a particular place and stopped there for the night. He picked up a stone, put it under his head, lay down and went to sleep.
Relo a mopo ma, ana losa mamanaꞌ esa, de sungguꞌ sia naa. Ana nae sungguꞌ ma, haꞌi nala fatu esa, fo tao dadꞌi ainulu.
12 He dreamed he saw a stairway that started on earth, and the top reached all the way into heaven. He saw God's angels going up and down on it.
Tetembaꞌ naa, ana nalamein nita eꞌedaꞌ esa nambariiꞌ sia rae ma tonggo na losa lalai. Lamatualain ate Nara mia sorga onda-hene eꞌedaꞌ a.
13 Then he saw the Lord standing over him, who said, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac. I'm giving you and your descendants the land you're lying on.
Sia meit naa, Yakob nita LAMATUALAIN nambariiꞌ sia bobꞌoa na, de olaꞌ nae, “Au ia LAMATUALAIN, ho baꞌi ma Abraham no Isak Lamatualain na. Dei fo Au fee rae ia neu nggo ma tititi-nonosi mara.
14 Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth, and will spread out west and east, and north and south. Everyone on earth will be blessed by your descendants.
Mete te, tititi-nonosi mara ramahefu onaꞌ afu. Ara sea-sarangganggaa bee-bꞌee reu sia basa mamanaꞌ. Mia tititi-nonosi mara, basa nusaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
15 Listen! I am with you and will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this country. I won't leave you because I'm going to do what I've promised you.”
Musunedꞌa malolole! Ho muu sia sudꞌiꞌ a bee-bꞌee o, Au unea nggo. Dei fo Au o baliꞌ nggo misiꞌ nusaꞌ ia. Au nda hela mesaꞌ nggo sa. Ma Au o tao utetu basa hehelu-fufuliꞌ fo Au helu fee nggoꞌ a.”
16 When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”
Yakob sungguꞌ fela ma nae, “Au feꞌe uhine ae, LAMATUALAIN o sia ia boe!”
17 He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”
Ma ana namatau, de duꞌa nae, “We! Mamanaꞌ ia tao au ao fulu ngga tenggou. Memaꞌ Lamatualain ume na sia ia! Ia, lelesu nisiꞌ sorga neu.”
18 When Jacob got up in the morning he took the stone he'd put under his head and set it upright as a stone pillar and poured some olive oil on it.
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yakob fela, haꞌi nala fatu ainuluꞌ a, de naririi e dadꞌi tatandaꞌ. Ana mbori mina nisiꞌ fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
19 He named the place “Bethel,” (previously it was called Luz).
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa naran Betel, sosoa na nae ‘Lamatualain ume na’. (Maꞌahulu na, mamanaꞌ naa, naran Lus).
20 Jacob also made a solemn promise, saying, “God, if you will be with me, and take care of me on my journey, and give me food to eat and clothes to wear
Boe ma Yakob sumba nae, “Mete ma Lamatualain no au, ma nanea au sia dala ngga, ma fee nanaat ma bua-baꞌus,
21 so I can return safely to my father's home, then you Lord will be my God.
losa au baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ, naa, LAMATUALAIN dadꞌi au Lamatua ngga.
22 This stone pillar that I've set up will be the house of God, and I will give you one tenth of all you give me.”
Fatu fo au uririiꞌ ia, dadꞌi mamana beꞌuteeꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma basa saa fo Ana fee au, dei fo au fee baliꞌ babanggiꞌ esa mia sanahulu.”
