Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Pea ui ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne tāpuaki ia, ʻo ne naʻinaʻi kiate ia, mo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua naʻa ke fili ho uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani;
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.
Ka ke tuʻu ʻo ʻalu ki Petanalami, ki he fale ʻo Petueli ko e tamai ʻa hoʻo faʻē; pea ke fili hao uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lepani, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo hoʻo faʻē.
3 May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Pea ke tāpuaki koe ʻe he ʻOtua Māfimafi, pea fakatupu mo fakatokolahiʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ko e fuʻu kakai tokolahi.
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."
Pea ke tuku kiate koe ʻae tāpuaki ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ki ho hako foki; koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻāunofo ki ai, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kia ʻEpalahame.”
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope ke ne ʻalu: pea ʻalu ia ki Petanalami kia Lepani, ko e foha ʻo Petueli ko e [tangata ]Silia, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka, ko e faʻē ʻa Sēkope mo ʻIsoa.
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,"
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsoa kuo tāpuaki ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope, ʻo ne fekau ia ke ʻalu ki Petanalami, ke fili moʻona ha uaifi mei ai; pea mo ʻene tāpuaki ia mo naʻinaʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa ke fili ha uaifi mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani:
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
Pea mo ʻene talangofua ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Petanalami;
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsoa ʻoku ʻikai fiemālie ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake, ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kēnani;
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.
Pea ʻalu ʻa ʻIsoa kia ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻo ne fakatokolahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi uaifi naʻa ne maʻu ʻa Mehalate, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsimeʻeli, ko e foha ʻo ʻEpalahame, ko e tuofefine ʻo Nepeoti, ke mali mo ia.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sēkope mei Peasipa, mo [ne ]fononga ki Halani.
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.
Pea hoko ia ki he potu ʻe taha, pea ne nofo ai ʻi he pō ko ia, he kuo tō ʻae laʻā; pea ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi maka ʻoe potu ko ia, ke ne ʻolunga ʻaki, pea naʻa ne tokoto ʻi he potu ko ia, ʻo mohe.
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.
Pea misi ia, pea vakai, kuo fokotuʻu ha tuʻunga ki he funga kelekele, pea tau hake hono potu ki he langi, pea vakai, naʻe feʻaluʻaki hake mo hifo ʻi ai ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua.
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.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei ʻolunga ʻi ai, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame ko hoʻo tamai, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake: ko e fonua ʻoku ke tokoto ai, te u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho hako.
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.
Pea ʻe tatau ho hako mo e efu ʻoe kelekele, pea te ke mafola koe ki he lulunga mo e hahake, pea ki he tokelau mo e tonga: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate koe mo ho hako, ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
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."
Pea vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea te u tauhi koe ʻi hoʻo fononga kotoa pē, pea te u toe ʻomi koe ki he fonua ni: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u siʻaki koe, ka te u fai ʻaia kuo u lea ai kiate koe.”
16 Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
Pea ʻā hake ʻa Sēkope mei heʻene mohe, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻi heni ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia.”
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."
Pea naʻe manavahē ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku fakamanavahē ʻae potu ni! ʻOku ʻikai ko ha potu kehe eni, ka ko e fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko eni ʻae matapā ʻoe langi.”
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.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻa Sēkope, pea ne toʻo mai ʻae maka naʻa ne ʻolunga ʻaki, pea ne tō ia ko e pou, pea lilingi ʻe ia ʻae lolo ki ai.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
Pea ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Peteli: ka ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia ko Lusa.
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,
Pea fai ai ʻe Sēkope ʻae fuakava, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua, pea ne tauhi au ʻi he hala ni ʻoku ou ʻalu ai, pea ne foaki kiate au ʻa ʻeku meʻakai, mo e ngaahi kofu ke u ai,
21 so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
Koeʻuhi ke u toe hoko ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻi he fiemālie, pehē, te u ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova;
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."
pea ko e maka ni, ʻaia kuo u tō ko e pou, ʻe hoko ia ko e fale ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē te ke tuku mai kiate au, te u ʻatu moʻoni hono vahe hongofulu kiate koe.”
