Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Aịzik kpọrọ Jekọb gọzie ya, nye ya iwu sị ya, “Alụla nwunye site nʼala Kenan.
2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thyself from there a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Kama bilie gaa Padan Aram nʼụlọ nna nne gị, Betuel, lụrụ nwunye site nʼụmụ ndị inyom Leban.
3 And God, the Almighty, bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a multitude of people;
Ka Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, gọzie gị, mee ka ị mịa mkpụrụ, mụbaa, ghọọ ọtụtụ mba.
4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojourn, which God gave unto Abraham.
Ka Chineke nye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ngọzị ahụ o kwere nkwa inye Ebraham. Ka i nweta ala a, nke i bi nʼime ya ugbu a dịka ọbịa, bụ ala ahụ Chineke kwere Ebraham na nkwa inye ya.”
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Padan-aram, unto Laban, the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Mgbe ahụ Aịzik zipụrụ Jekọb nʼije ya, ọ gara Padan Aram, nʼụlọ Leban nwa Betuel onye Aram, nwanne Ribeka onye bụ nne Jekọb na Ịsọ.
6 And when Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take himself from there a wife; and in blessing him had given him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Ịsọ hụrụ ka Aịzik siri gọzie Jekọb, ziga ya Padan Aram ka ọ gaa lụọ nwunye nʼebe ahụ, nyekwa ya iwu mgbe ọ na-agọzi ya sị, “Alụla nwanyị na Kenan,”
7 And that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram:
Jekọb rubekwara nna ya na nne ya isi gawa Padan Aram.
8 Then saw Esau that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of Isaac his father;
O dokwara Ịsọ anya na ndị inyom Kenan dị njọ nʼanya nna ya Aịzik.
9 And Esau went unto Ishmael, and took Machalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebayoth in addition to his wives, to himself as wife.
Nʼihi ya, Ịsọ gakwuru Ishmel lụrụ Mahalat, ada Ishmel, nwa Ebraham, onye bụ nwanyị Nebaiot, tinyekwara ndị nwunye ọ lụrụ na mbụ.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Charan.
Jekọb hapụrụ Bịasheba gawa Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it for his pillow, and laid himself down in that place.
Mgbe chi na-eji, ọ kwụsịrị ebe ọ ga-anọ zuo ike abalị. Mgbe ọ chọrọ idina ala, o weere otu nʼime nkume ndị dị nʼebe ahụ hinye nʼisi ya, dinara ala ịrahụ ụra.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Nʼabalị ahụ, ọ rọrọ nrọ, hụ mbube e ji arị elu. E mere ka o guzo site nʼụwa ruo nʼeluigwe. Ọ hụkwara ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke ka ha si na ya na-arịgo na-arịdakwa.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord, the 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;
Nʼelu ya, ọ hụrụ Onyenwe anyị ka o guzo, nụkwa ka ọ na-agwa ya okwu sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna gị Ebraham, na Chineke Aịzik. Aga m enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ala ahụ nke i dina nʼelu ya.
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 thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Ụmụ gị ga-adị ukwuu, dị ka aja dị nʼala. Ha ga-ejupụta ala a, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, sitekwa nʼugwu ruo na ndịda. A ga-esitekwa na gị na mkpụrụ gị, gọzie mba niile nke ụwa a.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
Anọnyeere m gị. Aga m echebe gị ebe ọbụla ị na-aga. Aga m akpọghachite gị nʼala a. Agaghị m ahapụ gị tutu ruo mgbe m mezuoro gị ihe niile m kwere gị na nkwa.”
16 And Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is present in this place; and I knew it not.
Jekọb tetara nʼụra sị, “Nʼezie Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a. Ma amaghị m ya.”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Ọ tụrụ egwu sị, “Lee ka ebe a si dị oke egwu, o nweghị ihe ebe a bụ karịa ụlọ Chineke, nʼezie ọ bụ ọnụ ụzọ ama eluigwe.”
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Jekọb weere nkume ahụ o hinyere nʼisi ya guzo ya dịka ogidi, wụsa mmanụ nʼelu ya.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but Luz was the name of that city in former times.
Ọ kpọrọ ebe ahụ Betel, ọ bụ ezie na Luz bụ aha obodo ahụ na mbụ.
20 And Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me on this way which I am going, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kwere nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na Chineke ga-anọnyere m, chebe m nʼije m na-eje, ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-enye m ihe oriri m ga-eri na uwe m ga-eyi,
21 And I come again in peace to my father's house: then shall the Lord be my God;
m lọghachi nʼụlọ nna m nʼudo, mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ Chineke m.
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Nkume a m doziri elu dịka ogidi ga-abụ ụlọ Chineke. Aga m eke ihe niile i nyere m ụzọ iri, nyeghachi gị otu ụzọ.”
