Genesis 28
1 And he summoned Isaac Jacob and he blessed him and he commanded him and he said to him not you must take a wife from [the] daughters of Canaan.
以撒叫了雅各來，給他祝福，並囑咐他說：「你不要娶迦南的女子為妻。
2 Arise go Paddan towards Aram [the] house of towards Bethuel [the] father of mother your and take for yourself from there a wife one of [the] daughters of Laban [the] brother of mother your.
你起身往巴旦‧亞蘭去，到你外祖彼土利家裏，在你母舅拉班的女兒中娶一女為妻。
3 And God Almighty may he bless you and may he make fruitful you and may he multiply you and you will become a company of peoples.
願全能的上帝賜福給你，使你生養眾多，成為多族，
4 And may he give to you [the] blessing of Abraham to you and to offspring your with you to take possession of you [the] land of sojournings your which he gave God to Abraham.
將應許亞伯拉罕的福賜給你和你的後裔，使你承受你所寄居的地為業，就是上帝賜給亞伯拉罕的地。」
5 And he sent off Isaac Jacob and he went Paddan towards Aram to Laban [the] son of Bethuel the Aramean [the] brother of Rebekah [the] mother of Jacob and Esau.
以撒打發雅各走了，他就往巴旦‧亞蘭去，到亞蘭人彼土利的兒子拉班那裏。拉班是雅各、以掃的母舅。
6 And he saw Esau that he had blessed Isaac Jacob and he had sent off him Paddan towards Aram to take for himself from there a wife when blessed he him and he had commanded to him saying not you must take a wife from [the] daughters of Canaan.
以掃見以撒已經給雅各祝福，而且打發他往巴旦‧亞蘭去，在那裏娶妻，並見祝福的時候囑咐他說：「不要娶迦南的女子為妻」，
7 And he had listened Jacob to father his and to mother his and he had gone Paddan towards Aram.
又見雅各聽從父母的話往巴旦‧亞蘭去了，
8 And he saw Esau that [were] displeasing [the] daughters of Canaan in [the] eyes of Isaac father his.
以掃就曉得他父親以撒看不中迦南的女子，
9 And he went Esau to Ishmael and he took Mahalath - [the] daughter of Ishmael [the] son of Abraham [the] sister of Nebaioth to wives his for himself to a wife.
便往以實瑪利那裏去，在他二妻之外又娶了瑪哈拉為妻。她是亞伯拉罕兒子以實瑪利的女兒，尼拜約的妹子。
10 And he went out Jacob from Beer Sheba and he went Haran towards.
雅各出了別是巴，向哈蘭走去；
11 And he reached the place and he stayed [the] night there for it had gone the sun and he took one of [the] stones of the place and he put [it] [the] place of head his and he lay down in the place that.
到了一個地方，因為太陽落了，就在那裏住宿，便拾起那地方的一塊石頭枕在頭下，在那裏躺臥睡了，
12 And he dreamed and there! a stairway [was] placed [the] earth towards and top its [was] reaching the heavens towards and there! [the] angels of God [were] going up and [were] going down on it.
夢見一個梯子立在地上，梯子的頭頂着天，有上帝的使者在梯子上，上去下來。
13 And there! Yahweh [was] standing on it and he said I [am] Yahweh [the] God of Abraham father your and [the] God of Isaac the land which you [are] lying on it to you I will give it and to offspring your.
耶和華站在梯子以上，說：「我是耶和華－你祖亞伯拉罕的上帝，也是以撒的上帝；我要將你現在所躺臥之地賜給你和你的後裔。
14 And it will be offspring your like [the] dust of the earth and you will spread out west-ward and east-ward and north-ward and south-ward and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth and by offspring your.
你的後裔必像地上的塵沙那樣多，必向東西南北開展；地上萬族必因你和你的後裔得福。
15 And here! I [am] with you and I will protect you in every where you will go and I will bring back you to the land this for not I will abandon you until that I have done [that] which I have spoken to you.
我也與你同在。你無論往哪裏去，我必保佑你，領你歸回這地，總不離棄你，直到我成全了向你所應許的。」
16 And he awoke Jacob from sleep his and he said truly there [is] Yahweh in the place this and I not I realized.
雅各睡醒了，說：「耶和華真在這裏，我竟不知道！」
17 And he was afraid and he said how! awesome [is] the place this [is] not this that except [the] house of God and this [is] [the] gate of the heavens.
就懼怕，說：「這地方何等可畏！這不是別的，乃是上帝的殿，也是天的門。」
18 And he rose early Jacob in the morning and he took the stone which he had put [the] place of head his and he set up it a pillar and he poured oil on top its.
雅各清早起來，把所枕的石頭立作柱子，澆油在上面。
19 And he called [the] name of the place that Beth-el and but [was] Luz [the] name of the city to the former [time].
他就給那地方起名叫伯特利；但那地方起先名叫路斯。
20 And he vowed Jacob a vow saying if he will be God with me and he will protect me on the journey this which I [am] going and he will give to me food to eat and clothing to wear.
雅各許願說：「上帝若與我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又給我食物吃，衣服穿，
21 And I will return in peace to [the] house of father my and he will become Yahweh for me God.
使我平平安安地回到我父親的家，我就必以耶和華為我的上帝。
22 And the stone this which I have set up a pillar it will be [the] house of God and all that you will give to me fully I will tithe it to you.
我所立為柱子的石頭也必作上帝的殿；凡你所賜給我的，我必將十分之一獻給你。」
