Genesis 28
1 And Isaac calls to Jacob, and blesses him, and commands him, and says to him, “You must not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma denu e nae, “Rena malolole! Ho afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan.
2 rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban;
Te muu sia Padan Aram, sia baꞌi Betuel ume na, fo sao mala toꞌo Labꞌan ma ana feto na esa.
3 and God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and you have become an assembly of peoples;
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 He gives to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, to cause you to possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.”
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 And Isaac sends Jacob away, and he goes to Padan-Aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, brother of Rebekah, 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 sees that Isaac has blessed Jacob, and has sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from there a wife—in his blessing him that he lays a charge on him, saying, You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan—
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 that Jacob listens to his father and to his mother, and goes to Padan-Aram—
Yakob rena aman no inan parenda na, de lao Padan Aram neu.
8 and Esau sees that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of his father Isaac,
Esau o bubꞌuluꞌ oi, ama na nda hii eni sao, atahori Kanaꞌan ra sa.
9 and Esau goes to Ishmael, and takes Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to himself, for a wife.
De ana nisiꞌ ama aꞌa na Ismael, de sao nala Ismael anan, naran Mahalat. Mahalat ia, Nebayot feton.
10 And Jacob goes out from Beer-Sheba, and goes toward Haran,
Leleꞌ naa Yakob lao hela Beer Syeba, fo nae Haran neu.
11 and he touches at a [certain] place, and lodges there, for the sun has gone in, and he takes of the stones of the place, and makes [them] his pillows, and lies down 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 he dreams, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and behold, messengers of God are going up and coming down by 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 behold, YHWH is standing on it, and He says, “I [am] YHWH, God of your father Abraham, and God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying, to you 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 has been as the dust of the land, and you have broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you and in your seed.
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, and have kept you wherever you go, and have caused you to return to this ground; for I do not leave you until I have surely done that which I have spoken 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 awakens out of his sleep and says, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I did not know”;
Yakob sungguꞌ fela ma nae, “Au feꞌe uhine ae, LAMATUALAIN o sia ia boe!”
17 and he fears and says, “How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.”
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 rises early in the morning, and takes the stone which he has made his pillows, and makes it a standing pillar, and pours oil on its top,
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 calls the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa naran Betel, sosoa na nae ‘Lamatualain ume na’. (Maꞌahulu na, mamanaꞌ naa, naran Lus).
20 And Jacob vows a vow, saying, “Seeing God is with me, and has kept me in this way which I am going, and has given to me bread to eat, and a garment 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 when I have turned back in peace to the house of my father, and YHWH has become my God,
losa au baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ, naa, LAMATUALAIN dadꞌi au Lamatua ngga.
22 then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that You give to me—tithing I tithe to 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.”
