Kejadian 28
1 Kemudian Ishak memanggil Yakub, lalu memberkati dia serta berkata, "Janganlah engkau kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
2 Pergilah ke Mesopotamia, kepada keluarga Betuel, kakekmu, dan kawinlah dengan salah seorang anak pamanmu Laban.
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 Semoga Allah Yang Mahakuasa memberkati perkawinanmu dan memberikan kepadamu anak cucu yang banyak, sehingga engkau menjadi leluhur banyak bangsa!
May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
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 you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
5 Demikianlah Ishak melepas Yakub pergi ke Mesopotamia, kepada Laban, anak Betuel orang Aram itu. Laban adalah abang Ribka ibu Yakub dan Esau.
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's 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.
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 must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"
7 Selain itu Esau tahu bahwa Yakub mentaati perkataan ayah ibunya dan telah berangkat ke Mesopotamia.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
8 Maka mengertilah Esau bahwa Ishak, ayahnya, tidak suka pada perempuan Kanaan,
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
9 sebab itu pergilah Esau kepada Ismael, anak Abraham, dan kawin dengan anak Ismael yang bernama Mahalat, adik Nebayot.
Esau 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 Yakub meninggalkan Bersyeba dan berangkat ke Haran.
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Pada waktu matahari terbenam ia sampai di suatu tempat, lalu bermalam di situ. Ia berbaring hendak tidur; kepalanya berbantalkan sebuah batu.
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 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 dreamed. And look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending on 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 God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
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.
Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth 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 look, I am with you, and will watch over 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 Lalu Yakub bangun dari tidurnya dan berkata, "TUHAN ada di sini, di tempat ini, tetapi baru sekarang aku mengetahuinya!"
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
17 Ia menjadi takut lalu berkata, "Alangkah seramnya tempat ini! Pastilah ini rumah Allah, pintu gerbang surga."
He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, and this is 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 rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on top of it.
19 Tempat itu dinamakannya Betel. (Dahulu namanya Lus).
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
20 Lalu bersumpahlah Yakub, "Jika TUHAN menolong dan melindungi saya pada perjalanan ini serta memberikan kepada saya makanan dan pakaian
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 sehingga saya kembali ke rumah ayah saya dengan selamat, TUHAN akan menjadi Allah saya.
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will 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 as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
