Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Kemudian Ishak memanggil Yakub, lalu memberkati dia serta berkata, "Janganlah engkau kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.
2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father; and take you a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
Pergilah ke Mesopotamia, kepada keluarga Betuel, kakekmu, dan kawinlah dengan salah seorang anak pamanmu Laban.
3 And God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a multitude of people;
Semoga Allah Yang Mahakuasa memberkati perkawinanmu dan memberikan kepadamu anak cucu yang banyak, sehingga engkau menjadi leluhur banyak bangsa!
4 And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you; that you may inherit the land wherein you are a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
Semoga TUHAN memberkati engkau dan keturunanmu sebagaimana telah diberkatinya Abraham, dan semoga engkau memiliki tanah yang kaudiami ini, yang telah diberikan Allah kepada Abraham!"
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Demikianlah Ishak melepas Yakub pergi ke Mesopotamia, kepada Laban, anak Betuel orang Aram itu. Laban adalah abang Ribka ibu Yakub dan Esau.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Esau mendengar bahwa Ishak telah memberkati Yakub dan melepas dia pergi ke Mesopotamia untuk mencari istri di situ. Juga bahwa pada waktu Ishak memberkati Yakub, ia melarang Yakub kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
Selain itu Esau tahu bahwa Yakub mentaati perkataan ayah ibunya dan telah berangkat ke Mesopotamia.
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Maka mengertilah Esau bahwa Ishak, ayahnya, tidak suka pada perempuan Kanaan,
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.
sebab itu pergilah Esau kepada Ismael, anak Abraham, dan kawin dengan anak Ismael yang bernama Mahalat, adik Nebayot.
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Yakub meninggalkan Bersyeba dan berangkat ke 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.
Pada waktu matahari terbenam ia sampai di suatu tempat, lalu bermalam di situ. Ia berbaring hendak tidur; kepalanya berbantalkan sebuah batu.
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.
Kemudian bermimpilah ia bahwa ia melihat sebuah tangga yang berdiri di bumi dan ujungnya mencapai langit dan malaikat-malaikat turun naik di tangga itu.
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed;
Dan di sampingnya berdirilah TUHAN dan berkata, "Akulah TUHAN, Allah yang dipuja Abraham dan Ishak. Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu tanah tempat engkau berbaring ini.
14 And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Keturunanmu akan sebanyak debu di bumi. Mereka akan memperluas wilayah mereka ke segala arah, dan melalui engkau dan keturunanmu, Aku akan memberkati semua bangsa di bumi.
15 And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.
Ingatlah, Aku akan menolong dan melindungimu, ke mana pun engkau pergi, dan Aku akan membawamu kembali ke negeri ini. Aku tak akan meninggalkan engkau sampai telah Kulakukan segala apa yang Kujanjikan kepadamu."
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Lalu Yakub bangun dari tidurnya dan berkata, "TUHAN ada di sini, di tempat ini, tetapi baru sekarang aku mengetahuinya!"
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Ia menjadi takut lalu berkata, "Alangkah seramnya tempat ini! Pastilah ini rumah Allah, pintu gerbang surga."
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.
Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Yakub bangkit, lalu mengambil batu yang dipakainya sebagai bantal dan menegakkannya menjadi batu peringatan. Dituangkannya minyak zaitun di atas batu itu untuk dikhususkan bagi Allah.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Tempat itu dinamakannya Betel. (Dahulu namanya Lus).
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,
Lalu bersumpahlah Yakub, "Jika TUHAN menolong dan melindungi saya pada perjalanan ini serta memberikan kepada saya makanan dan pakaian
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
sehingga saya kembali ke rumah ayah saya dengan selamat, TUHAN akan menjadi Allah saya.
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that you shall give me I will surely give the tenth unto you.
Dan saya akan memberikan kepada TUHAN sepersepuluh dari segala sesuatu yang TUHAN berikan kepada saya. Batu peringatan yang saya tegakkan ini akan menjadi tempat pemujaan bagi TUHAN."
