Kinohi 28
1 HEA aku la o Isaaka ia Iakoba, hoomaikai aku la ia ia, kauoha aku la ia ia, i aku la, Mai lawe oe i wahine nau no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana,
So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Do not take a wife from the Canaanite women,” he commanded.
2 E ku ae, e hele aku oe i Padanarama, i ka hale o Betuela o ka makuakane o kou makuwahine; a e lawe oe i wahine nau nolaila, no na kaikamahine a Labana a ke kaikunane o kou makuwahine.
“Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take a wife from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
3 E hoomaikai mai ke Akua mana ia oe, e hoohua mai kela ia oe, e hoomahuahua hoi ia oe, i lilo oe i poe kanaka he nui:
May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a company of peoples.
4 E haawi mai hoi oia nou i ka pomaikai o Aberahama, nou, a no kau poe mamo me oe; i hooiliia nou ka aina au e noho malihini nei, ka mea a ke Akua i haawi mai ai no Aberahama.
And may He give the blessing of Abraham to you and your descendants, so that you may possess the land where you dwell as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
5 Hoouna aku la o Isaaka ia Iakoba: a hele aku la ia i Padauarama io Labana la, i ke keiki a Betuela no Suria, i ke kaikunane o Rebeka, o ka makuwahine o Iakoba laua o Esau.
So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 A ike iho o Esau, ua hoomaikai mai o Isaaka ia Iakoba, a ua hoouna aku ia ia e hele i Padanarama, e lawe i wahine nana mai ia wahi mai; a i kana hoomaikai ana ia ia, kauoha aku la ia, i ka i ana, Mai lawe oe i wahine nau no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana;
Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to take a wife there, commanding him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”
7 A ua hoolohe mai o Iakoba i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a ua hala aku la i Padanarama;
and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and gone to Paddan-aram.
8 A ike iho la o Esau, aole i oluolu o Isaaka o kona makuakane i na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana;
And seeing that his father Isaac disapproved of the Canaanite women,
9 Alaila, hele aku la o Esau io Isemaela la, a hui mai la me kana mau wahine, ia Mahalata i ke kaikamahine a Isemaela a ke keiki a Aberahama, oia ke kaikuwahine o Nebaiota, i wahine nana.
Esau went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had.
10 Hele aku la o Iakoba mai Beereseba aku, i kona hele ana i Harana.
Meanwhile Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.
11 A hiki aku la ia i kau wahi, a noho iho la ilaila i ka po; no ka mea, ua napoo ka la: lawe ae la ia i kekahi o na pohaku o ia wahi i uluna nona, a moe iho la ilaila.
On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
12 Moe iho la ia i ka uhane; aia hoi, ku mai la kekahi ala haka maluna o ka honua, a hiki aku la kona welau i ka lani: aia hoi, ua ikea na anela o ke Akua i ka pii ana ae, a i ka iho ana mai maluna o ka haka.
And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.
13 Aia hoi, ku mai la o Iehova maluna ae o ka haka, i mai la, Owau no Iehova ke Akua o Aberahama o kou kupunakane, a ke Akua o Isaaka: e haawi aku no au i ka aina au e moe iho ai nou, a no kau poe mamo;
And there at the top the LORD was standing and saying, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you now lie.
14 A e like auanei ka nui o kau poe mamo me ka lepo o ka honua, a e palahalaha ana ae oe i ke komohana, i ka hikina, i ke kukulu akau, a i ke kukulu hema: ia oe no a i kau poe mamo e hoopomaikaiia'i na ohana a pau o ka honua.
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and east and north and south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
15 Aia hoi, me oe no wau, a e malama auanei ia oe i na wahi a pau au e hele ai, a e hoihoi mai no wau ia oe i keia aina; no ka mea, aole au e haalele ia oe, a pau i ka hanaia e au ka mea a'u i olelo aku ai ia oe.
Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
16 Ala ae la o Iakoba mai kona hiamoe ana, i iho la ia. He oiaio, maanei no o Iehova, aole nae au i ike.
When Jacob woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.”
17 Eehia iho la ia, i iho la, He wahi eehia keia! o ka hale wale no keia no ke Akua, o ka ipuka hoi keia o ka lani.
And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven!”
18 Ala ae la o Iakoba i kakahiaka nui, lalau aku la ia i ka pohaku ana i uluna ai, hooku ae la i eho, a ninini iho la i ka aila maluna o kona welau.
Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head, and he set it up as a pillar. He poured oil on top of it,
19 Kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o i Betela: o Luza ka inoa mamua o ua kulanakauhale la.
and he called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz.
20 Hoohiki aku la o Iakoba i ka hoohiki ana, i aku la, Ina e noho pu ke Akua me au, a e malama mai ia'u ma keia ala a'u e hele nei, a e haawi mai i ai na'u e ai ai, a i kapa hoi e aahu ai,
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,
21 A hoi hou mai au i ka hale o ko'u makuakane me ka maluhia; alaila o Iehova no ko'u Akua:
so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.
22 A o keia pohaku a'u i hooku ae nei i kukulu, a e lilo auanei ia i hale no ke Akua: a e haawi io aku no wau nou i ka hapaumi o na mea a pau au e haawi mai ai ia'u.
And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
