< Genesis 28 >
1 Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him.
Nítorí náà Isaaki pe Jakọbu, ó sì súre fún un, ó sì pàṣẹ fún un pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ aya láàrín àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani.
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.
Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Padani-Aramu, sí ilé Betueli, baba ìyá rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fẹ́ aya fún ara rẹ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Labani arákùnrin ìyá rẹ.
3 God Almighty bless you and may your descendants be so numerous that you become the ancestor of many nations.
Kí Ọlọ́run Olódùmarè El-Ṣaddai kí ó bùkún fún ọ, kí ó sì mú ọ bí sí i, kí ó sì mú ọ pọ̀ sí i ní iye títí tí ìwọ yóò di àgbájọ àwọn ènìyàn.
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.”
Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ ní ìre tí ó sú fún Abrahamu, kí ìwọ kí ó le gba ilẹ̀ níbi tí a ti ń ṣe àtìpó yìí, ilẹ̀ tí Ọlọ́run ti fi fún Abrahamu.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Isaaki sì rán Jakọbu lọ. Ó sì lọ sí Padani-Aramu, lọ́dọ̀ Labani ọmọ Betueli, ará Aramu, tí í ṣe arákùnrin Rebeka ìyá Jakọbu àti Esau.
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.”
Nígbà tí Esau gbọ́ pé, Isaaki ti súre fún Jakọbu, ó sì ti rán Jakọbu lọ sí Padani-Aramu láti fẹ́ aya níbẹ̀ àti pé nígbà tí ó súre fún un, ó kìlọ̀ fun un pé, kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani
7 He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram.
àti pé, Jakọbu ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì ti lọ sí Padani-Aramu.
8 This made Esau realize how much his father disliked Canaanite women.
Nígbà náà ni Esau mọ bí Isaaki baba rẹ ti kórìíra àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani tó.
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.
Nítorí náà Esau tọ Iṣmaeli lọ, ó sì fẹ́ Mahalati, arábìnrin Nebaioti, ọmọbìnrin Iṣmaeli tí í ṣe ọmọ Abrahamu. Ó fẹ́ ẹ, kún àwọn ìyàwó tí ó ti ní tẹ́lẹ̀.
10 In the meantime Jacob had set off from Beersheba on his way to Haran.
Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, ó sì kọrí sí ìlú Harani.
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.
Nígbà tí ó dé ibìkan, ó dúró ní òru náà nítorí tí ilẹ̀ ti ń ṣú, ó sì gbé òkúta kan ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí, ó sì sùn.
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.
Ó sì lá àlá pé, a gbé àkàsọ̀ kan dúró ti ó fi ìdí lélẹ̀, orí rẹ̀ sì kan ọ̀run, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì ń gòkè, wọ́n sì ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀.
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.
Olúwa sì dúró lókè rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba rẹ Abrahamu àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki, ìwọ àti ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ dùbúlẹ̀ sórí rẹ̀ yìí fún.
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.
Ìran rẹ yóò pọ̀ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì tànkálẹ̀ dé ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, àti dé gúúsù àti àríwá. A ó sì bùkún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé nípasẹ̀ ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
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.”
Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì pa ọ mọ́ ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ, èmi yóò sì mú ọ padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí ní àlàáfíà. Èmi kì yóò fi ọ sílẹ̀ ní ìgbà kan, títí tí èmi yóò fi mú gbogbo ìlérí mi ṣẹ.”
16 When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”
Nígbà tí Jakọbu jí lójú oorun rẹ̀, ó rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú Olúwa ń bẹ ní ìhín yìí, èmi kò sì mọ̀.”
17 He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”
Ẹ̀rù sì bà á, ó sì wí pé, “Ìhín yìí ní ẹ̀rù gidigidi; ibí kì í ṣe ibòmíràn bí kò ṣe ilé Ọlọ́run, àní ẹnu ibodè ọ̀run nìyìí.”
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.
Jakọbu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, ó sì gbé òkúta tí ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí lélẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n, ó sì da òróró si lórí.
19 He named the place “Bethel,” (previously it was called Luz).
Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Beteli, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìlú náà ń jẹ́ Lusi tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
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
Jakọbu sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ níbẹ̀ pé, “Bí Ọlọ́run yóò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, tí yóò sì pa mí mọ́ ní ìrìnàjò mi tí mo ń lọ, tí yóò sì fún mi ní oúnjẹ láti jẹ àti aṣọ láti wọ̀,
21 so I can return safely to my father's home, then you Lord will be my God.

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.”
Òkúta yìí tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n yóò jẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, nínú gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ ó fi fún mi, èmi yóò sì fi ìdámẹ́wàá rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
