Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take 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, go to Padan–aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s 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 Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply 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 give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
Et det tibi benedictiones Abrahae, et semini tuo post te: ut possideas terram peregrinationis tuae, quam pollicitus est avo tuo.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan–aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Cumque dimisisset eum Isaac, profectus pervenit in Mesopotamiam Syriae ad Laban filium Bathuel Syri, fratrem Rebeccae matris suae.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan–aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, 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 Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan–aram;
quodque obediens Iacob parentibus suis isset in Syriam:
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
probans quoque quod non libenter aspiceret filias Chanaan pater suus:
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
ivit ad Ismaelem, et duxit uxorem absque iis, quas prius habebat, Maheleth filiam Ismael filii Abraham, sororem Nabaioth.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer–sheba, and went toward Haran.
Igitur egressus Iacob de Bersabee, pergebat Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
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 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Viditque in somnis scalam stantem super terram, et cacumen illius tangens caelum: Angelos quoque Dei ascendentes et descendentes per eam,
13 And, behold, Yhwh stood above it, and said, I am Yhwh God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
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 seed 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 seed 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, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Et ero custos tuus quocumque perrexeris, et reducam te in terram hanc: nec dimittam nisi complevero universa quae dixi.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Yhwh is in this place; and I knew it not.
Cumque evigilasset Iacob de somno, ait: Vere Dominus est in loco isto, et ego nesciebam.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Pavensque: Quam terribilis est, inquit, locus iste! non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei, et porta caeli.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon 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 the name of that place Beth–el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Appellavitque nomen urbis Bethel, quae prius Luza vocabatur.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment 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 again to my father’s house in peace; And, behold, Yhwh be my God:
reversusque fuero prospere ad domum patris mei: erit mihi Dominus in Deum,
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
et lapis iste, quem erexi in titulum, vocabitur Domus Dei: cunctorumque quae dederis mihi, decimas offeram tibi.
