< Genesis 28 >

1 Then Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, —and commanded him and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of 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 Rise, go thy way to Padan-aram to the house of Bethuel, thy mother’s father, —and take thee from thence a wife, of the daughters of Laban, thy 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 And, GOD Almighty, bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, so shalt thou become a multitude 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 may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee, —that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojournings, 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 So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he took his journey to Padan-aram, —unto Laban son of Bethuel, the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 And Esau beheld that Isaac, when he blessed Jacob, and sent him to Padan-aram, to take to himself from thence a wife, that in blessing him, he laid command upon him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of 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 hearkened unto his father and unto his mother, —and took his journey to Padan-aram.
àti pé, Jakọbu ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì ti lọ sí Padani-Aramu.
8 So then Esau beheld that displeasing, were the daughters of Caanan, —in the eyes of Isaac his father:
Nígbà náà ni Esau mọ bí Isaaki baba rẹ ti kórìíra àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani tó.
9 Esau therefore went unto Ishmael, —and took Mahalath daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham sister of Nebaioth, to himself to wife, in addition to the wives that he had.
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 So Jacob went forth from Beer-sheba, and journeyed towards Haran.
Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, ó sì kọrí sí ìlú Harani.
11 And he lighted on a place, and tarried the night there, because the sun had gone in, —and he took of the stones of the place, and put for his pillow, and lay down in that place,
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 lo! a stairway, planted earthwards, with, its top, reaching towards the heavens, —and lo! messengers of God, ascending and descending thereon;
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 lo! Yahweh, standing by him, —and he said, I, am Yahweh, God of Abraham thy father and God of Isaac, —The land whereon, thou, art lying, to thee, will I give it and to thy seed;
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 And thy seed shall become as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt break forth westward and eastward, and northward and southward, —And all the families of the ground shall be blessed in thee and in thy seed.
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 Lo! then, I, am with thee, so will I keep thee in every place whithersoever thou mayest go, and will bring thee back unto this soil, —For I will not forsake thee until I have done that of which I have spoken to thee.
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 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said. Surely, Yahweh was in this place, And I, knew it not.
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 And he feared and said, How fearful is this place! None other this, than the house of God! Nor this than the gate of the heavens
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 So Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone which he had put for his pillow, and put it for a pillar, —and poured out oil upon the top thereof;
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 and called the name of that place—Beth-el, —nevertheless, Luz, was the name of the city, aforetime.
Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Beteli, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìlú náà ń jẹ́ Lusi tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, —If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way whereon, I, am going, and give me bread to eat and raiment 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 and I come back in prosperity unto the house of my father, Then will Yahweh prove to 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 put for a pillar, shall be the house of God, —And, of all which thou shalt give me, a tenth, will I tithe unto thee.
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.”
