< Genesis 28 >

1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Nítorí náà Isaaki pe Jakọbu, ó sì súre fún un, ó sì pàṣẹ fún un pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ aya láàrín àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Padani-Aramu, sí ilé Betueli, baba ìyá rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fẹ́ aya fún ara rẹ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Labani arákùnrin ìyá rẹ.
3 May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Kí Ọlọ́run Olódùmarè El-Ṣaddai kí ó bùkún fún ọ, kí ó sì mú ọ bí sí i, kí ó sì mú ọ pọ̀ sí i ní iye títí tí ìwọ yóò di àgbájọ àwọn ènìyàn.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ ní ìre tí ó sú fún Abrahamu, kí ìwọ kí ó le gba ilẹ̀ níbi tí a ti ń ṣe àtìpó yìí, ilẹ̀ tí Ọlọ́run ti fi fún Abrahamu.”
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Isaaki sì rán Jakọbu lọ. Ó sì lọ sí Padani-Aramu, lọ́dọ̀ Labani ọmọ Betueli, ará Aramu, tí í ṣe arákùnrin Rebeka ìyá Jakọbu àti Esau.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"
Nígbà tí Esau gbọ́ pé, Isaaki ti súre fún Jakọbu, ó sì ti rán Jakọbu lọ sí Padani-Aramu láti fẹ́ aya níbẹ̀ àti pé nígbà tí ó súre fún un, ó kìlọ̀ fun un pé, kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
àti pé, Jakọbu ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì ti lọ sí Padani-Aramu.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Nígbà náà ni Esau mọ bí Isaaki baba rẹ ti kórìíra àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani tó.
9 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Nítorí náà Esau tọ Iṣmaeli lọ, ó sì fẹ́ Mahalati, arábìnrin Nebaioti, ọmọbìnrin Iṣmaeli tí í ṣe ọmọ Abrahamu. Ó fẹ́ ẹ, kún àwọn ìyàwó tí ó ti ní tẹ́lẹ̀.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, ó sì kọrí sí ìlú Harani.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Nígbà tí ó dé ibìkan, ó dúró ní òru náà nítorí tí ilẹ̀ ti ń ṣú, ó sì gbé òkúta kan ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí, ó sì sùn.
12 And he dreamed. And look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Ó sì lá àlá pé, a gbé àkàsọ̀ kan dúró ti ó fi ìdí lélẹ̀, orí rẹ̀ sì kan ọ̀run, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì ń gòkè, wọ́n sì ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀.
13 And God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
Olúwa sì dúró lókè rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba rẹ Abrahamu àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki, ìwọ àti ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ dùbúlẹ̀ sórí rẹ̀ yìí fún.
14 Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
Ìran rẹ yóò pọ̀ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì tànkálẹ̀ dé ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, àti dé gúúsù àti àríwá. A ó sì bùkún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé nípasẹ̀ ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
15 And look, I am with you, and will watch over you wherever 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 of to you."
Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì pa ọ mọ́ ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ, èmi yóò sì mú ọ padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí ní àlàáfíà. Èmi kì yóò fi ọ sílẹ̀ ní ìgbà kan, títí tí èmi yóò fi mú gbogbo ìlérí mi ṣẹ.”
16 Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
Nígbà tí Jakọbu jí lójú oorun rẹ̀, ó rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú Olúwa ń bẹ ní ìhín yìí, èmi kò sì mọ̀.”
17 He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, and this is the gate of heaven."
Ẹ̀rù sì bà á, ó sì wí pé, “Ìhín yìí ní ẹ̀rù gidigidi; ibí kì í ṣe ibòmíràn bí kò ṣe ilé Ọlọ́run, àní ẹnu ibodè ọ̀run nìyìí.”
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on top of it.
Jakọbu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, ó sì gbé òkúta tí ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí lélẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n, ó sì da òróró si lórí.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Beteli, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìlú náà ń jẹ́ Lusi tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing to put on,
Jakọbu sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ níbẹ̀ pé, “Bí Ọlọ́run yóò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, tí yóò sì pa mí mọ́ ní ìrìnàjò mi tí mo ń lọ, tí yóò sì fún mi ní oúnjẹ láti jẹ àti aṣọ láti wọ̀,
21 so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
tí mo sì padà sílé baba mi ní àlàáfíà, nígbà náà Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run mi,
22 and this stone, which I have set up as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
Òkúta yìí tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n yóò jẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, nínú gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ ó fi fún mi, èmi yóò sì fi ìdámẹ́wàá rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
