Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobin waamee eebbisee akkana jedhee isa ajaje: “Intallan warra Kanaʼaan keessaa hin fuudhin.
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.
Ammuma kaʼiitii gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam mana abbaa haadha keetii mana Betuuʼeel dhaqi. Achiis intallan obboleessa haadha keetii intallan Laabaa keessaa tokko fuudhi.
3 May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun si haa eebbisu; sanyii siif haa kennu; akka ati saba balʼaa taatuufis si haa baayʼisu.
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."
Ati biyya amma alagummaadhaan keessa jiraattu, biyya Waaqni dhaala godhee Abrahaamiif kenne sana akka dhaaltuuf inni eebba Abrahaamiif kenne sii fi sanyii keetiif haa kennu.”
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.
Yisihaaqis akkasitti Yaaqoobin erge; Yaaqoobis gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam gara Laabaa ilma Betuuʼeel namicha Arraam sanaa dhaqe; Laabaan kun immoo obboleessa Ribqaa, haadha Yaaqoobii fi Esaawu.
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,"
Esaawu akka Yisihaaq Yaaqoobin eebbisee akka inni achii niitii fuudhuuf gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamitti isa ergee fi akka isa eebbisettis “Intallan warra Kanaʼaan hin fuudhin” jedhee isa ajaje yommuu beeketti;
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
Yaaqoob abbaa fi haadha isaatiif ajajamee gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam dhaqe.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Esaawus intallan warra Kanaʼaan fuula abbaa isaa Yisihaaq duratti hammam jibbamoo akka taʼan hubate.
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.
Kanaafuu Esaaw gara Ishmaaʼeel ilma Abrahaam dhaqee Maahalaati intala Ishmaaʼeel obboleettii Nabaayoti niitota dur qabu irratti dabalee fuudhe.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Yaaqoob Bersheebaa baʼee Kaaraan dhaqe.
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.
Innis iddoo tokko gaʼee aduun dhiinaan achi bule; dhagoota achi turan keessaas tokko fudhatee mataa jala kaaʼatee rafuuf ciise.
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.
Innis achitti abjuu abjoote; kunoo yaabbannoo lafa dhaabatee fiixeen isaa immoo samii gaʼu tokko arge; kunoo ergamoonni Waaqayyoo yaabbannoo sana irra ol baʼaa fi gad buʼaa turan.
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.
Kunoo Waaqayyo yaabbannoo sana gara irraa dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa abbaa kee Abrahaamii fi Waaqa Yisihaaq; ani lafa ati irra ciiftu kana siif fi sanyii keetiif nan kenna.
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.
Sanyiin kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa ni baayʼata; atis gara dhiʼaatti, gara baʼaatti, gara kaabaattii fi kibbaatti ni babalʼatta. Uummanni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa keetii fi karaa sanyii keetiitiin ni eebbifama.
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."
Kunoo ani si wajjinan jira; lafa ati dhaqxu hundattis sin eega; gara biyya kanaattis deebisee sin fida. Ani hamman waanan waadaa siif gale sana siif guututti si hin dhiisu.”
16 Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
Yaaqoobis yommuu hirribaa kaʼetti, “Dhugumaan Waaqayyo iddoo kana jira; ani waan kana hin hubanne” jedhe.
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."
Innis sodaatee, “Iddoon kun akkam nama sodaachisa! Kun mana Waaqaa ti malee waan biraa miti; kun karra samiiti” jedhe.
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.
Yaaqoobis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroo kaʼee dhagaa mataa jala kaaʼatee ture sana fuudhee akka utubaatti ol dhaabe; fiixee isaa irrattis zayitii dhangalaase.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
Innis maqaa iddoo sanaa Beetʼeel jedhee moggaase; duraan garuu magaalaan sun Luuzi jedhama ture.
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,
Ergasiis Yaaqoob akkana jedhee wareege; “Yoo Waaqni na wajjin taʼe, yoo inni karaa ani deemu kana irratti na eege, yoo waan ani nyaadhuu fi waan ani uffadhu naa kenne,
21 so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
yoo ani nagaan mana abbaa kootti deebiʼe, Waaqayyo Waaqa koo ni taʼa;
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."
dhagaan ani utubaa godhee ol dhaabe kunis mana Waaqaa taʼa; waan ati naa kennitu keessaas kudhan keessaa tokko siifin kenna.”
