Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
Na ka karanga a Ihaka i a Hakopa, ka manaaki i a ia, ka tohutohu ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Kaua koe e tango wahine o nga tamahine o Kanaana.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
Whakatika, haere ki Paranaarama ki te whare o Petuere, papa o tou whaea; ka tango mai i reira i tetahi wahine mau o nga tamahine a Rapana, tungane o tou whaea.
3 May God Almighty bless you, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude of peoples.
A ma te Atua Kaha Rawa koe e manaaki, mana koe e mea kia hua, kia nui, kia meinga hoki hei huihuinga iwi;
4 May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants after you, that you may inherit the land where you have been living, which God gave to Abraham.”
Mana e homai ki a koe te manaaki o Aperahama, ki a koutou tahi ko ou uri; kia riro ai i a koe te whenua e noho manene nei koe, i homai nei hoki e te Atua ki a Aperahama.
5 So Isaac sent Jacob away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Na tonoa atu ana a Hakopa e Ihaka: a haere ana ia ki Paranaarama ki a Rapana, ki te tama a Petuere Hiriani, ki te tungane o Ripeka, whaea o Hakopa raua ko Ehau.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take a wife from there. He also saw that Isaac had blessed him and given him a command, saying, “You must not take a wife from the women of Canaan.”
A ka kite a Ehau kua manaaki a Ihaka i a Hakopa, kua tono hoki i a ia ki Paranaarama ki te tiki wahine mana i reira; kua tohutohu hoki ki a ia, i a ia e manaaki ana i a ia, kua mea, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine i nga tamahine o Kanaana;
7 Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan Aram.
A kua rongo a Hakopa ki tona papa raua ko tona whaea, kua riro hoki ki Paranaarama;
8 Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
A ka kite a Ehau e kino ana nga tamahine o Kanaana ki te titiro a Ihaka, a tona papa;
9 So he 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.
Na haere ana a Ehau ki a Ihimaera, a tangohia ana mai e ia ki roto ki ana wahine a Maharata, te tamahine a Ihimaera, tama a Aperahama, te tuahine o Nepaioto, hei wahine mana.
10 Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
Na ka turia atu e Hakopa i Peerehepa, a haere ana ki Harana.
11 He came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones in that place, put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
A ka pono atu ia ki tetahi wahi, ka moe i reira, kua to hoki te ra; na ka tikina atu e ia tetahi o nga kohatu o taua wahi, a meatia ana e ia hei urunga mona, ka takoto ia i taua wahi, ka moe.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set up on the earth. Its top reached to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Na moe iho ia, ko tetahi arawhata e tu ana i runga i te whenua, ko tona pito i tutuki ki te rangi: na, ko nga anahera a te Atua e piki ana, e heke ana i runga i taua mea.
13 Behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.
Na, ko Ihowa e tu ana i runga atu i taua mea, e mea ana, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Atua o Aperahama, o tou papa, ko te Atua hoki o Ihaka: ko te whenua e takoto na koe ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki ou uri ano hoki;
14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread far out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south. Through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
A ka rite ou uri ki te puehu o te oneone, ka tohatoha atu koe ki te hauauru, ki te rawhiti, ki te raki, ki te tonga: a mau, ma tou uri hoki e manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te whenua.
15 Behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you into this land again; for I will not leave you. I will do all that I have promised to you.”
Na, kei a koe tenei ahau, ka tiaki ahau i a koe i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe, ka whakahoki mai ano ahau i a koe ki tenei whenua; e kore hoki ahau e whakarere i a koe, kia oti ra ano taku i ki atu ai ki a koe.
16 Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Na ka oho ake a Hakopa i tana moe, ka mea, He pono kei tenei wahi a Ihowa; a kihai ahau i mohio.
17 He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.”
Na ka wehi ia, kamea, Ano te wehi o tenei wahi! ehara tenei i te mea ke atu i te whare o te Atua, a ko te kuwaha tenei ki te rangi.
18 Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.
Na ka ara wawe a Hakopa i te ata, a ka mau ki te kohatu i waiho ra hei urunga mona, whakaturia ana e ia hei pou, ringihia iho e ia he hinu ki runga.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was Luz.
A huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Peteere: ko Rutu ia te ingoa o taua pa i mua.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will protect me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
Na ka puaki ta Hakopa kupu taurangi, ka mea ia, Ki te mea ka tata mai ki ahau te Atua, a ka tiakina ahau e ia i tenei ara e haere nei ahau, a ka homai e ia ki ahau he taro hei kai, me tetahi kakahu hei kakahu,
21 so that I return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh will be my God.
A ka hoki mai ahau i runga i te rangimarie ki te whare o toku papa; na, ko Ihowa hei Atua ki ahau:
22 Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
A, ko tenei kohatu i whakaturia nei e ahau hei pou, ka waiho hei whare mo te Atua; a, o nga mea katoa e homai e koe ki ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga whakatekau.
