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 shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
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. Take a wife from there from 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, that you may be 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 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.”
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.
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.
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 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;”
7 A ua hoolohe mai o Iakoba i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a ua hala aku la i Padanarama;
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was 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 daughters of Canaan didn’t 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 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.
10 Hele aku la o Iakoba mai Beereseba aku, i kona hele ana i Harana.
Jacob went out from 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 of the place, and 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 upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, 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, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t 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 awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and 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 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.
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 was Luz at the first.
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 keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
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 come again to my father’s house in peace, and 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.
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.”
