< Genesis 28 >

1 Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Vocavit itaque Isaac Iacob, et benedixit eum, praecepitque ei dicens: Noli accipere coniugem de genere Chanaan:
2 Arise, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.
sed vade, et proficiscere in Mesopotamiam Syriae, ad domum Bathuel patris matris tuae, et accipe tibi inde uxorem de filiabus Laban avunculi tui.
3 And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
Deus autem omnipotens benedicat tibi, et crescere te faciat, atque multiplicet: ut sis in turbas populorum.
4 And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger, ) which God gaue vnto Abraham.
Et det tibi benedictiones Abrahae, et semini tuo post te: ut possideas terram peregrinationis tuae, quam pollicitus est avo tuo.
5 Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus mother.
Cumque dimisisset eum Isaac, profectus pervenit in Mesopotamiam Syriae ad Laban filium Bathuel Syri, fratrem Rebeccae matris suae.
6 When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan,
Videns autem Esau quod benedixisset pater suus Iacob, et misisset eum in Mesopotamiam Syriae, ut inde uxorem duceret; et quod post benedictionem praecepisset ei, dicens: Non accipies uxorem de filiabus Chanaan:
7 And that Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram:
quodque obediens Iacob parentibus suis isset in Syriam:
8 Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
probans quoque quod non libenter aspiceret filias Chanaan pater suus:
9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, to be his wife.
ivit ad Ismaelem, et duxit uxorem absque iis, quas prius habebat, Maheleth filiam Ismael filii Abraham, sororem Nabaioth.
10 Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran,
Igitur egressus Iacob de Bersabee, pergebat Haran.
11 And he came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same place.
Cumque venisset ad quemdam locum, et vellet in eo requiescere post solis occubitum, tulit de lapidibus qui iacebant, et supponens capiti suo, dormivit in eodem loco.
12 Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by it.
Viditque in somnis scalam stantem super terram, et cacumen illius tangens caelum: Angelos quoque Dei ascendentes et descendentes per eam,
13 And behold, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede.
et Dominum innixum scalae dicentem sibi: Ego sum Dominus Deus Abraham patris tui, et Deus Isaac: Terram, in qua dormis, tibi dabo et semini tuo.
14 And thy seede 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 seede shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Eritque semen tuum quasi pulvis terrae: dilataberis ad Orientem, et Occidentem, et Septentrionem, et Meridiem: et BENEDICENTUR IN TE et in semine tuo cunctae tribus terrae.
15 And lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.
Et ero custos tuus quocumque perrexeris, et reducam te in terram hanc: nec dimittam nisi complevero universa quae dixi.
16 Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
Cumque evigilasset Iacob de somno, ait: Vere Dominus est in loco isto, et ego nesciebam.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
Pavensque: Quam terribilis est, inquit, locus iste! non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei, et porta caeli.
18 Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it.
Surgens ergo Iacob mane, tulit lapidem quem supposuerat capiti suo, et erexit in titulum, fundens oleum desuper.
19 And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
Appellavitque nomen urbis Bethel, quae prius Luza vocabatur.
20 Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on:
Vovit etiam votum, dicens: Si fuerit Dominus mecum, et custodierit me in via, per quam ego ambulo, et dederit mihi panem ad vescendum, et vestimentum ad induendum,
21 So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God.
reversusque fuero prospere ad domum patris mei: erit mihi Dominus in Deum,
22 And this stone, which I haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
et lapis iste, quem erexi in titulum, vocabitur Domus Dei: cunctorumque quae dederis mihi, decimas offeram tibi.
