< 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.
Tondũ ũcio, Isaaka agĩĩta Jakubu akĩmũrathima na akĩmwatha, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanahikie mũndũ-wa-nja wa kuuma gũkũ Kaanani.
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.
Ũkĩra ũthiĩ Padani-Aramu, kwa nyũmba ya Bethueli ithe wa nyũkwa. Wĩcarĩrie mũtumia kuuma kũrĩ airĩtu a Labani, mũrũ wa nyina na nyũkwa.
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.
Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arokũrathima na atũme ũciarane mũno na ũingĩhe o nginya ũgaatuĩka rũrĩrĩ rwa andũ aingĩ.
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.
Ngai arokũhe kĩrathimo kĩrĩa aaheire Iburahĩmu hamwe na njiaro ciaku, nĩgeetha wĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũyũ ũratũũra rĩu ũrĩ ta mũgeni, o bũrũri ũyũ Ngai eerĩire Iburahĩmu.”
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.
Isaaka akĩĩra Jakubu athiĩ, nake agĩthiĩ Padani-Aramu kwa Labani mũrũ wa Bethueli ũrĩa Mũsuriata, mũrũ wa nyina na Rebeka, nyina wa Jakubu na Esaũ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, Esaũ nĩamenyire atĩ Isaaka nĩarathimĩte Jakubu na akamũtũma Padani-Aramu akahikanie kuo, na atĩ rĩrĩa aamũrathimire nĩamwathire, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanahikie mũndũ-wa-nja wa kuuma gũkũ Kaanani.”
7 And he had listened Jacob to father his and to mother his and he had gone Paddan towards Aram.
O na akĩmenya atĩ Jakubu nĩathĩkĩire ithe na nyina na nĩathiĩte Padani-Aramu.
8 And he saw Esau that [were] displeasing [the] daughters of Canaan in [the] eyes of Isaac father his.
Ningĩ Esaũ agĩkũũrana atĩ andũ-a-nja acio a Ahiti matiakenagia ithe, Isaaka;
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.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, agĩthiĩ gwa Ishumaeli na akĩhikia Mahalathu, mwarĩ wa nyina na Nebaiothu, mũirĩtu wa Ishumaeli mũriũ wa Iburahĩmu, akĩmuongerera harĩ atumia arĩa angĩ aarĩ nao.
10 And he went out Jacob from Beer Sheba and he went Haran towards.
Jakubu oima Birishiba aathiire erekeire Harani.
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.
Na aakinya handũ hana-rĩ, akĩraarĩrĩra ho tondũ riũa nĩ rĩathũĩte. Akĩoya ihiga rĩmwe hau, agĩĩtiira narĩo mũtwe nĩguo akome.
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.
Nake akĩroota, akĩona ngathĩ ĩturumĩte thĩ, na mũthia wayo ũgakinya igũrũ matu-inĩ, nao araika a Ngai mambataga magĩikũrũkaga nayo.
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.
Jakubu akĩona Jehova arũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa ngathĩ ĩyo akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Jehova, Ngai wa thoguo Iburahĩmu na Ngai wa Isaaka. Bũrũri ũyũ ũkomete nĩngakũhe, wee hamwe na njiaro ciaku.
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.
Njiaro ciaku ikaingĩha ta rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, na nĩũgatambũrũka na mwena wa ithũĩro, na mwena wa irathĩro, na wa gathigathini, o na wa gũthini. Andũ a mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya thĩ nĩmakarathimwo nĩ ũndũ waku, na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku.
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.
Na niĩ ndĩ hamwe nawe, na nĩndĩkũmenyagĩrĩra kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga, na nĩngagũcookia bũrũri ũyũ. Ndigagũtiganĩria nginya ngaahingia maũndũ marĩa ndakwĩrĩra.”
16 And he awoke Jacob from sleep his and he said truly there [is] Yahweh in the place this and I not I realized.
Rĩrĩa Jakubu ookĩrire, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Jehova arĩ handũ haha, na ndiikũũĩ.”
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.
Agĩkĩigua guoya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ handũ haha nĩ ha kũmakania-ĩ! Haha nĩho nyũmba ya Ngai; na gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa igũrũ-kwa-Ngai.”
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.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Jakubu akĩoya ihiga rĩrĩa etiirĩte narĩo mũtwe, akĩrĩrũgamia ta gĩtugĩ, akĩrĩitĩrĩria maguta.
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].
Agĩcooka agĩĩta handũ hau Betheli, o na gũtuĩka mbere ĩyo itũũra rĩu rĩetagwo Luzu.
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.
Ningĩ Jakubu akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai angĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ, na aamenyerere rũgendo-inĩ rũrũ ndĩrathiĩ, na aaheage irio cia kũrĩa na nguo cia kwĩhumba,
21 And I will return in peace to [the] house of father my and he will become Yahweh for me God.
nĩguo ngaacooka nyũmba-inĩ ya baba na thayũ-rĩ, Jehova nĩagatuĩka Ngai wakwa,
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.
narĩo ihiga rĩĩrĩ ndaarũgamia ta gĩtugĩ rĩgaatuĩka nyũmba ya Ngai, na kĩrĩa o gĩothe ũkaahe, nĩngakũhe gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi.”
