< Genesis 28 >

1 Inayaban ni Isaac ni Jacob, binendisionanna isuna, ken binilinna isuna, “Masapul a saanka a mangala ti asawam manipud kadagiti Canaaneo a babbai.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Tumakderka, mapanka idiay Padan Aram, idiay balay ni Betuel nga ama ti inam, ket mangalaka iti asawam sadiay, maysa kadagiti annak a babbai ni Laban a kabsat ti inam.
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 Bendisionannaka koma ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin, pagbalinennaka a nabunga ken paaduennaka, tapno agbalinka a rineprep ti tattao.
May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
4 Itedna koma kenka ti bendision ni Abraham, kenka, ken kadagiti kaputotamto, tapno matawidmo ti daga a nagnanaedam nga inted ti Dios kenni Abraham.
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 Imbaon ngarud ni Isaac ni Jacob nga umadayo. Napan ni Jacob idiay Padan Aram, iti ayan ni Laban nga anak ni Betuel nga Arameo, a kabsat ni Rebecca nga ina da Jacob ken 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 Ita, nakita ni Esau a binendisionan ni Isaac ni Jacob ket imbaonna idiay Padan-aram tapno mangala iti asawana sadiay. Nakitana met a binendisionan ni Isaac isuna ken binilinna a kunana, “Masapul a saanka a mangala iti asawam manipud kadagiti babbai iti Canaan.”
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 Nakita met ni Esau a tinungpal ni Jacob ti amana ken ti inana, ket napan idiay Padan-aram.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
8 Nakita ni Esau a saan a naay-ayo ni Isaac nga amana kadagiti babbai iti Canaan.
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
9 Isu a napan isuna kenni Ismael, ket innalana a kas asawana ni Mahalat a kabsat ni Nebayot a putot ni Ismael, a putot ni Abraham, malaksid kadagiti addan nga assawana.
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 Pimmanaw ni Jacob idiay Beerseba ket nagturong idiay Haran.
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Nakadanun isuna iti maysa a lugar ket nagpatpatnag sadiay, gapu ta limneken ti init. Nangala isuna iti maysa kadagiti bato iti dayta a disso, impunganna daytoy, ket nagidda iti dayta a disso tapno maturog.
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 Nagtagtagainep isuna ket nakitana ti maysa nga agdan a nakapasdek iti rabaw ti daga. Nakadanun ti murdongna idiay langit ket ngumato ken bumaba dagiti anghel ti Dios iti daytoy.
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 Pagammoan, nagtakder ni Yahweh iti ngatoen daytoy ket kinunana, “Siak ni Yahweh a Dios ni Abraham nga amam, ken ti Dios ni Isaac. Itedkonto kenka ken kadagiti kaputotam ti daga a pagid-iddaam.
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 Kaslanto tapok iti daga dagiti kaputotam, ket agwaraskayto iti adayo; iti laud, iti daya, iti amianan ken iti abagatan. Kenka ken kadagiti kaputotam ket mabendisionanto dagiti amin a pamilia iti daga.
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 Kitaem, addaak kenka, ket aywanankanto iti sadinoman a papanam. Iyegkanto manen iti daytoy a daga; ta saankanto a panawan. Aramidekto amin nga inkarik kenka.”
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 Nakariing ni Jacob iti pannaturogna, ket kinunana, “Awan duadua nga adda ditoy a disso ni Yahweh, ket saanko a napanunot dayta.”
Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
17 Nagbuteng isuna ket kinunana, “Anian a nakabutbuteng daytoy a disso! Daytoy ket awanen sabali no di ti balay ti Dios. Daytoy ti ruangan ti langit.”
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 Nagriing ni Jacob iti nasapa ket innalana ti bato a nagpungananna. Impasdekna a kas adigi ket binukbukanna iti lana ti rabaw daytoy.
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 Pinanagananna dayta a lugar iti Betel, ngem ti sigud a nagan dayta a siudad ket Luz.
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
20 Nagsapata ni Jacob a kunana, “No kaduaannak ti Dios ken salaknibannak iti daytoy a dalan a pagpagnaak, ken ikkannak iti tinapay a kanek, ken pagan-anay nga ikawesko,
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 iti kasta ket makasangpetak a sitatalged idiay balay ni amak, ni Yahweh ti agbalinto a Diosko.
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
22 Ket daytoy a bato nga impasdekko a kas adigi ket agbalinto a nasagradoan a bato. Manipud iti tunggal banag nga itedmo kaniak, sigurado nga isublikto kenka ti apagkapullo.”
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.”
