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,
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
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.
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.
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, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude 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.
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.”
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 away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
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 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.”
7 A ua hoolohe mai o Iakoba i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a ua hala aku la i Padanarama;
Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had 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;
Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
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.
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.
10 Hele aku la o Iakoba mai Beereseba aku, i kona hele ana i Harana.
Jacob left Beersheba and went toward 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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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 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.
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.
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.”
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.
Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know 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.
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.”
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.
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.
19 Kapa iho la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o i Betela: o Luza ka inoa mamua o ua kulanakauhale la.
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was 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,
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,
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 return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh 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.
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.”
