< Genesis 28 >

1 And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma denu e nae, “Rena malolole! Ho afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan.
2 Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
Te muu sia Padan Aram, sia baꞌi Betuel ume na, fo sao mala toꞌo Labꞌan ma ana feto na esa.
3 And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain Mana Koasa fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, fo ho umbu-ana mara ramahefu, ma tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ.
4 And may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
Naa fo, Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli Na neu Abraham tudꞌa neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi ma. Dei fo hambu mala rae fo Lamatualain helu-fuli fee neu Abraham a.
5 So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Isak olaꞌ basa ma, ana mboꞌi Yakob Padan Aram neu, nisiꞌ toꞌo Labꞌan no baꞌi Betuel na umen.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
Boe ma Esau rena oi Isak fee Yakob papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, ma ai e fo afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan. Ana o rena oi, ama na denu odꞌi na neu sao toꞌo na ana feto na esa sia Padan Aram
7 and [that] Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
Yakob rena aman no inan parenda na, de lao Padan Aram neu.
8 And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
Esau o bubꞌuluꞌ oi, ama na nda hii eni sao, atahori Kanaꞌan ra sa.
9 Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
De ana nisiꞌ ama aꞌa na Ismael, de sao nala Ismael anan, naran Mahalat. Mahalat ia, Nebayot feton.
10 And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
Leleꞌ naa Yakob lao hela Beer Syeba, fo nae Haran neu.
11 And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
Relo a mopo ma, ana losa mamanaꞌ esa, de sungguꞌ sia naa. Ana nae sungguꞌ ma, haꞌi nala fatu esa, fo tao dadꞌi ainulu.
12 and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
Tetembaꞌ naa, ana nalamein nita eꞌedaꞌ esa nambariiꞌ sia rae ma tonggo na losa lalai. Lamatualain ate Nara mia sorga onda-hene eꞌedaꞌ a.
13 And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.
Sia meit naa, Yakob nita LAMATUALAIN nambariiꞌ sia bobꞌoa na, de olaꞌ nae, “Au ia LAMATUALAIN, ho baꞌi ma Abraham no Isak Lamatualain na. Dei fo Au fee rae ia neu nggo ma tititi-nonosi mara.
14 And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
Mete te, tititi-nonosi mara ramahefu onaꞌ afu. Ara sea-sarangganggaa bee-bꞌee reu sia basa mamanaꞌ. Mia tititi-nonosi mara, basa nusaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
15 And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.
Musunedꞌa malolole! Ho muu sia sudꞌiꞌ a bee-bꞌee o, Au unea nggo. Dei fo Au o baliꞌ nggo misiꞌ nusaꞌ ia. Au nda hela mesaꞌ nggo sa. Ma Au o tao utetu basa hehelu-fufuliꞌ fo Au helu fee nggoꞌ a.”
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
Yakob sungguꞌ fela ma nae, “Au feꞌe uhine ae, LAMATUALAIN o sia ia boe!”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Ma ana namatau, de duꞌa nae, “We! Mamanaꞌ ia tao au ao fulu ngga tenggou. Memaꞌ Lamatualain ume na sia ia! Ia, lelesu nisiꞌ sorga neu.”
18 And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yakob fela, haꞌi nala fatu ainuluꞌ a, de naririi e dadꞌi tatandaꞌ. Ana mbori mina nisiꞌ fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
19 And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa naran Betel, sosoa na nae ‘Lamatualain ume na’. (Maꞌahulu na, mamanaꞌ naa, naran Lus).
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Boe ma Yakob sumba nae, “Mete ma Lamatualain no au, ma nanea au sia dala ngga, ma fee nanaat ma bua-baꞌus,
21 and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
losa au baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ, naa, LAMATUALAIN dadꞌi au Lamatua ngga.
22 And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatever you shall give me, I will tithe a tenth for you.
Fatu fo au uririiꞌ ia, dadꞌi mamana beꞌuteeꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma basa saa fo Ana fee au, dei fo au fee baliꞌ babanggiꞌ esa mia sanahulu.”
