Kejadian 28
1 Kemudian Ishak memanggil Yakub, lalu memberkati dia serta berkata, "Janganlah engkau kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:
2 Pergilah ke Mesopotamia, kepada keluarga Betuel, kakekmu, dan kawinlah dengan salah seorang anak pamanmu Laban.
But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother’s father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle.
3 Semoga Allah Yang Mahakuasa memberkati perkawinanmu dan memberikan kepadamu anak cucu yang banyak, sehingga engkau menjadi leluhur banyak bangsa!
And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.
4 Semoga TUHAN memberkati engkau dan keturunanmu sebagaimana telah diberkatinya Abraham, dan semoga engkau memiliki tanah yang kaudiami ini, yang telah diberikan Allah kepada Abraham!"
And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.
5 Demikianlah Ishak melepas Yakub pergi ke Mesopotamia, kepada Laban, anak Betuel orang Aram itu. Laban adalah abang Ribka ibu Yakub dan Esau.
And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.
6 Esau mendengar bahwa Ishak telah memberkati Yakub dan melepas dia pergi ke Mesopotamia untuk mencari istri di situ. Juga bahwa pada waktu Ishak memberkati Yakub, ia melarang Yakub kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:
7 Selain itu Esau tahu bahwa Yakub mentaati perkataan ayah ibunya dan telah berangkat ke Mesopotamia.
And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria:
8 Maka mengertilah Esau bahwa Ishak, ayahnya, tidak suka pada perempuan Kanaan,
Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:
9 sebab itu pergilah Esau kepada Ismael, anak Abraham, dan kawin dengan anak Ismael yang bernama Mahalat, adik Nebayot.
He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nabajoth.
10 Yakub meninggalkan Bersyeba dan berangkat ke Haran.
But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
11 Pada waktu matahari terbenam ia sampai di suatu tempat, lalu bermalam di situ. Ia berbaring hendak tidur; kepalanya berbantalkan sebuah batu.
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place.
12 Kemudian bermimpilah ia bahwa ia melihat sebuah tangga yang berdiri di bumi dan ujungnya mencapai langit dan malaikat-malaikat turun naik di tangga itu.
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it;
13 Dan di sampingnya berdirilah TUHAN dan berkata, "Akulah TUHAN, Allah yang dipuja Abraham dan Ishak. Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu tanah tempat engkau berbaring ini.
And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed.
14 Keturunanmu akan sebanyak debu di bumi. Mereka akan memperluas wilayah mereka ke segala arah, dan melalui engkau dan keturunanmu, Aku akan memberkati semua bangsa di bumi.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED.
15 Ingatlah, Aku akan menolong dan melindungimu, ke mana pun engkau pergi, dan Aku akan membawamu kembali ke negeri ini. Aku tak akan meninggalkan engkau sampai telah Kulakukan segala apa yang Kujanjikan kepadamu."
And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said.
16 Lalu Yakub bangun dari tidurnya dan berkata, "TUHAN ada di sini, di tempat ini, tetapi baru sekarang aku mengetahuinya!"
And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 Ia menjadi takut lalu berkata, "Alangkah seramnya tempat ini! Pastilah ini rumah Allah, pintu gerbang surga."
And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
18 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Yakub bangkit, lalu mengambil batu yang dipakainya sebagai bantal dan menegakkannya menjadi batu peringatan. Dituangkannya minyak zaitun di atas batu itu untuk dikhususkan bagi Allah.
And Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it.
19 Tempat itu dinamakannya Betel. (Dahulu namanya Lus).
And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza.
20 Lalu bersumpahlah Yakub, "Jika TUHAN menolong dan melindungi saya pada perjalanan ini serta memberikan kepada saya makanan dan pakaian
And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 sehingga saya kembali ke rumah ayah saya dengan selamat, TUHAN akan menjadi Allah saya.
And I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God:
22 Dan saya akan memberikan kepada TUHAN sepersepuluh dari segala sesuatu yang TUHAN berikan kepada saya. Batu peringatan yang saya tegakkan ini akan menjadi tempat pemujaan bagi TUHAN."
And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.
