yee ad the LORde stode apon it and sayde. I am the LORde God of Abraham thi father and the God of Isaac: The londe which thou slepest apon will I geue the and thy seed.
14 elabena wò dzidzimeviwo asɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene! Woakaka ɖe anyigba dzi tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe, tso anyiehe yi dziehe, eye woayra dukɔwo katã le xexea me to wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dzi.
And thy seed shalbe as the dust of the erth: And thou shalt spreade abrode: west east north and south. And thorow the and thy seed shall all the kynreddes of the erth be blessed.
15 Gawu la, meli kpli wò, makpɔ tawò le afi sia afi si nàyi la, eye makplɔ wò nàgbɔ ava anyigba sia dzi dedie. Manɔ kpli wò va se ɖe esime matsɔ nu siwo katã ŋugbe medo na wò la ana wò.”
And se I am with the and wylbe thy keper in all places whother thou goost and wyll brynge ye agayne in to this lande: Nether will I leaue the vntill I haue made good all that I haue promysed the.
16 Esime Yakob nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, egblɔ be, “Vavã, Yehowa le afi sia, gake nyemenya o.”
When Iacob was awaked out of his slepe he sayde: surely the LORde is in this place ad I was not aware.
17 Egblɔ be, “Aleke gbegbe teƒe sia dzi ŋɔe! Teƒe sia menye teƒe bubu aɖeke wu Mawu ƒe aƒe o. Esiae nye dziƒogbo la.”

18 Yakob fɔ ŋdi kanya, ɖi kpe si wòziɔ la abe ŋkuɖodzikpe ene, eye wòkɔ ami ɖe edzi.
And Iacob stode vp early in the mornynge and toke the stone that he had layde vnder his heade and pitched it vp an ende and poured oyle on the topp of it.
19 Ena ŋkɔ teƒea be Betel si gɔmee nye “Mawu ƒe Aƒe.” Tsã la, woyɔ du si te ɖe afi ma ŋu la be Luz.
And he called the name of the place Bethell for in dede the name of the citie was called Lus before tyme.
20 Yakob ɖe adzɔgbe na Mawu be, “Ne Mawu ave nunye, akpɔ tanye le nye mɔzɔzɔ sia me, ana nuɖuɖu kple nutatam,
And Iacob vowed a vowe saynge: Yf God will be with me and wyll kepe me in this iourney which I goo and will geue me bread to eate and cloothes to put on

so that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftie: then shall the LORde be my God
22 Ŋkuɖodzikpe sia azu mawusubɔƒe, eye matsɔ nu sia nu si nànam la ƒe ewolia ana wò!”
and this stone which I haue sett vp an ende shalbe godes house And of all that thou shalt geue me will I geue the tenth vnto the.
