5 Mgbe ahụ Aịzik zipụrụ Jekọb nʼije ya, ọ gara Padan Aram, nʼụlọ Leban nwa Betuel onye Aram, nwanne Ribeka onye bụ nne Jekọb na Ịsọ.
Thus Isaac sent forth Iacob to goo to Mesopotamia vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Sirien and brother to Rebecca Iacobs and Esaus mother.
6 Ịsọ hụrụ ka Aịzik siri gọzie Jekọb, ziga ya Padan Aram ka ọ gaa lụọ nwunye nʼebe ahụ, nyekwa ya iwu mgbe ọ na-agọzi ya sị, “Alụla nwanyị na Kenan,”

9 Nʼihi ya, Ịsọ gakwuru Ishmel lụrụ Mahalat, ada Ishmel, nwa Ebraham, onye bụ nwanyị Nebaiot, tinyekwara ndị nwunye ọ lụrụ na mbụ.
Then went he vnto Ismael and toke vnto the wiues which he had Mahala the doughter of Ismael Abrahams sonne the sister of Nabaioth to be his wife.
10 Jekọb hapụrụ Bịasheba gawa Haran.

11 Mgbe chi na-eji, ọ kwụsịrị ebe ọ ga-anọ zuo ike abalị. Mgbe ọ chọrọ idina ala, o weere otu nʼime nkume ndị dị nʼebe ahụ hinye nʼisi ya, dinara ala ịrahụ ụra.
and came vnto a place and taried there all nyghte because the sonne was downe. And toke a stone of the place and put it vnder his heade and layde him downe in the same place to slepe.
12 Nʼabalị ahụ, ọ rọrọ nrọ, hụ mbube e ji arị elu. E mere ka o guzo site nʼụwa ruo nʼeluigwe. Ọ hụkwara ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke ka ha si na ya na-arịgo na-arịdakwa.
And he dreamed: and beholde there stode a ladder apon the erth and the topp of it reached vpp to heaue. And se the angells of God went vp and downe apon it
13 Nʼelu ya, ọ hụrụ Onyenwe anyị ka o guzo, nụkwa ka ọ na-agwa ya okwu sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna gị Ebraham, na Chineke Aịzik. Aga m enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ala ahụ nke i dina nʼelu ya.
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 Ụmụ gị ga-adị ukwuu, dị ka aja dị nʼala. Ha ga-ejupụta ala a, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, sitekwa nʼugwu ruo na ndịda. A ga-esitekwa na gị na mkpụrụ gị, gọzie mba niile nke ụwa a.
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 Anọnyeere m gị. Aga m echebe gị ebe ọbụla ị na-aga. Aga m akpọghachite gị nʼala a. Agaghị m ahapụ gị tutu ruo mgbe m mezuoro gị ihe niile m kwere gị na nkwa.”
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 Jekọb tetara nʼụra sị, “Nʼezie Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a. Ma amaghị m ya.”
When Iacob was awaked out of his slepe he sayde: surely the LORde is in this place ad I was not aware.
17 Ọ tụrụ egwu sị, “Lee ka ebe a si dị oke egwu, o nweghị ihe ebe a bụ karịa ụlọ Chineke, nʼezie ọ bụ ọnụ ụzọ ama eluigwe.”
And he was afrayde and sayde how fearfull is this place? it is none other but euen the house of God and the gate of heaue.
18 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Jekọb weere nkume ahụ o hinyere nʼisi ya guzo ya dịka ogidi, wụsa mmanụ nʼelu ya.
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 Ọ kpọrọ ebe ahụ Betel, ọ bụ ezie na Luz bụ aha obodo ahụ na mbụ.
And he called the name of the place Bethell for in dede the name of the citie was called Lus before tyme.
20 Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kwere nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na Chineke ga-anọnyere m, chebe m nʼije m na-eje, ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-enye m ihe oriri m ga-eri na uwe m ga-eyi,
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
21 m lọghachi nʼụlọ nna m nʼudo, mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ Chineke m.
so that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftie: then shall the LORde be my God
22 Nkume a m doziri elu dịka ogidi ga-abụ ụlọ Chineke. Aga m eke ihe niile i nyere m ụzọ iri, nyeghachi gị otu ụzọ.”
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.
