< 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.
Pea ui ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne tāpuaki ia, ʻo ne naʻinaʻi kiate ia, mo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua naʻa ke fili ho uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani;
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.
Ka ke tuʻu ʻo ʻalu ki Petanalami, ki he fale ʻo Petueli ko e tamai ʻa hoʻo faʻē; pea ke fili hao uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lepani, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo hoʻo faʻē.
3 And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
Pea ke tāpuaki koe ʻe he ʻOtua Māfimafi, pea fakatupu mo fakatokolahiʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ko e fuʻu kakai tokolahi.
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.
Pea ke tuku kiate koe ʻae tāpuaki ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ki ho hako foki; koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame.”
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ke ne ʻalu: pea ʻalu ia ki Petanalami kia Lepani, ko e foha ʻo Petueli ko e [tangata ]Silia, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka, ko e faʻē ʻa Sēkope mo ʻIsoa.
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,
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsoa kuo tāpuaki ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu ki Petanalami, ke fili moʻona ha uaifi mei ai; pea mo ʻene tāpuaki ia mo naʻinaʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa ke fili ha uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani:
7 And that Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram:
Pea mo ʻene talangofua ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Petanalami;
8 Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsoa ʻoku ʻikai fiemālie ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake, ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani;
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.
Pea ʻalu ʻa ʻIsoa kia ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻo ne fakatokolahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi uaifi naʻa ne maʻu ʻa Mehalate, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsimeʻeli, ko e foha ʻo ʻEpalahame, ko e tuofefine ʻo Nepeoti, ke mali mo ia.
10 Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran,
Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sēkope mei Peasipa, mo [ne ]fononga ki Halani.
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.
Pea hoko ia ki he potu ʻe taha, pea ne nofo ai ʻi he pō ko ia, he kuo tō ʻae laʻā; pea ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi maka ʻoe potu ko ia, ke ne ʻolunga ʻaki, pea naʻa ne tokoto ʻi he potu ko ia, ʻo mohe.
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.
Pea misi ia, pea vakai, kuo fokotuʻu ha tuʻunga ki he funga kelekele, pea tau hake hono potu ki he langi, pea vakai, naʻe feʻaluʻaki hake mo hifo ʻi ai ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
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.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei ʻolunga ʻi ai, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame ko hoʻo tamai, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake: ko e fonua ʻoku ke tokoto ai, te u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho hako.
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.
Pea ʻe tatau ho hako mo e efu ʻoe kelekele, pea te ke mafola koe ki he lulunga mo e hahake, pea ki he tokelau mo e tonga: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate koe mo ho hako, ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
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.
Pea vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea te u tauhi koe ʻi hoʻo fononga kotoa pē, pea te u toe ʻomi koe ki he fonua ni: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki koe, ka te u fai ʻaia kuo u lea ai kiate koe.”
16 Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
Pea ʻā hake ʻa Sēkope mei heʻene mohe, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻi heni ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe manavahē ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku fakamanavahē ʻae potu ni! ʻOku ʻikai ko ha potu kehe eni, ka ko e fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko eni ʻae matapā ʻoe langi.”
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.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻa Sēkope, pea ne toʻo mai ʻae maka naʻa ne ʻolunga ʻaki, pea ne tō ia ko e pou, pea lilingi ʻe ia ʻae lolo ki ai.
19 And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
Pea ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Peteli: ka ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia ko Lusa.
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:
Pea fai ai ʻe Sēkope ʻae fuakava, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua, pea ne tauhi au ʻi he hala ni ʻoku ou ʻalu ai, pea ne foaki kiate au ʻa ʻeku meʻakai, mo e ngaahi kofu ke u ai,
21 So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God.
Koeʻuhi ke u toe hoko ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻi he fiemālie, pehē, te u ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova;
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.
pea ko e maka ni, ʻaia kuo u tō ko e pou, ʻe hoko ia ko e fale ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē te ke tuku mai kiate au, te u ʻatu moʻoni hono vahe hongofulu kiate koe.”
