Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Kuom mano Isaka noluongo Jakobo mogwedhe kendo osieme konyise niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.
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.
Chak wuoth idhi Padan Aram, e od Bethuel ma kwaru. Kend achiel kuom nyi Laban ma neru.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Mad Nyasaye Maratego gwedhi kendo inyaa mi kwanu medre nyaka ubed oganda mathoth.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Mad ogwedhi kod nyikwayi kaka nogwedho Ibrahim mondo ikaw piny makoro idakieni kaka jadak, ma en piny mane Nyasaye omiyo Ibrahim.”
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Eka Isaka nogolo Jakobo modhi kendo Jakobo nodhi Padan Aram, ir Laban wuod Bethuel ja-Aram, owad gi Rebeka, mane min Jakobo kod Esau.
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 shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Koro Esau nofwenyo ni Isaka osegwedho Jakobo kendo oseore Padan Aram mondo odhi okend kuno. Nowinjo bende ni kane Isaka gwedho Jakobo, nochike niya, “Kik ikend nyar jo-Kanaan.”
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Mi Jakobo nowinjo wach min gi wuon modhi Padan Aram.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
Esau nofwenyo kaka Isaka wuon mare ne ok mor gi nyi jo-Kanaan.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Kuom mano Esau nodhi ir Ishmael mi okendo Mahalath nyamin Nebayoth mane nyar Ishmael wuod Ibrahim, mondo obed chiege ewi monde mane okwongo kendo.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Jakobo nowuok Bersheba kendo nodhi Haran.
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.
Kane ochopo kamoro, nobworo gotieno nikech chiengʼ nosepodho. Nonindo kanyo moteno wiye gi kidi moro mane okwanyo kanyo.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Noleko ni oneno ngas konyono piny to wiye ochopo e polo kendo malaika mag Nyasaye ne luwe kadhi malo kendo lor piny.
13 Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
To ewi ngasno gi malo Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼie kawacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach wuonu Ibrahim kendo Nyasach Isaka. Piny minindoeni abiro miyi gi nyikwayi.
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Nyikwayi nobed mangʼeny ka kwoyo, kendo unudag koa yo podho chiengʼ nyaka wuok chiengʼ, bende koa yo nyandwat nyaka yo milambo. Ogendini duto manie piny nogwedh kokadho kuomi kod nyikwayi.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep 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.”
Anabed kodi kendo anariti kamoro amora ma idhiye nyaka adwoki e pinyni. Ok anaweyi nyaka chop atim mana ma asesingorani.”
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
Kane Jakobo ochiewo oa e nindo, noparo niya, “Adier Jehova Nyasaye nika kendo ne ok angʼeyo.”
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Luoro nomake mi owacho niya, “Ma kama lich manade! Nyaka bedni ma en od Nyasaye; ma en dhoranga polo.”
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Jakobo nokawo kidi mane otenogo wiye kendo nochunge ka siro mi oolo mo e wiye.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Nochako kanyo ni Bethel to kinde mokwongo nying dalano niluongo ni Luz.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Eka Jakobo nokwongʼore kawacho niya, “Ka Nyasaye nobed koda kendo norita e wuodhani ma adhiye kendo miya chiemo ma achamo kod lewni ma arwako,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,
mi anadogi maber e od wuora eka Jehova Nyasaye nobed Nyasacha,
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
kendo kidi ma asechungo kaka sironi, nobed od Nyasaye kendo duto ma imiya, namiyi achiel kuom apar.”
