Jenesis 28
1 Hanki Aisaki'a ke higeno Jekopu'a egeno asomu ke hunenteno, hankavenentake ke asamino amanage hu'ne, Kagra mago Kenani vahe'mokizmi mofara ara e'origahane.
Then Isaac summoned Jacob, and gave him a blessing. He told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group.
2 Hanki otinka Padan-Aram moparega (Mesopotemia), Betuel nontega vuo. E'i negrerana nefa'e. Anantegati a'ka'a erisanana negrera nesaro Lebani mofanefinti mago mofa ara erio!
Instead, go right away to Paddan-Aram [in northwest Mesopotamia], to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Ask one of the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban to marry you.
3 Ana'ma hanankeno'a Hankavenentake Anumzamo'a asomu huneganteno, kazeri hakare hugante'na tusi'a vahe fore hunka manigahane.
I will pray that God Almighty will bless you, and enable you to [get married and] have many descendants, in order that they will become many people-groups.
4 Nagri'ma navesiana Anumzamo Abrahamu hunte'neaza huno kagri'ene, mofavreka'ane asomu hugantesnie. Ama vanoma nehana mopa, Anumzamo'a Abrahamu ami'nea mopa eri nafa'a kagra hugahane.
I also will pray that he will bless you and your descendants by enabling you to possess/seize the land in which you are now living as a foreigner, the land that God promised to give to [my father] Abraham and his descendants.”
5 Aisaki'a Jekopuna huntegeno Padan-Aram (Mesopotemia) Lebani nemofo Betueli Aramia ne'mofontega vu'ne. Rebeka'a Jekopune Isonena neznarera'e.
So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-Aram, to live with Rebekah’s brother Laban, the son of Bethuel, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
6 Hagi Aisaki'ma Jekopuma asomu hunenteno Padan-aramuti a' erinogu huntegeno nevigeno hankavenentake ke asmino, kagra Kenani vahe'mokizmi mofa'nefintira ara e'oriogahane hiankea Iso'a antahine.
Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and then sent him to Paddan-Aram. He also found out that when he blessed Isaac, he told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group,”
7 Hagi Jekopu'ma nefane nerera kema erizafa huno Padan-Aram vu'nea zamofo kenena keno antahino hu'ne.
and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother, and had gone to Paddan-Aram.
8 Iso'ma keana nefa Aisaki'a Kenani mofa'negura musena osu'ne.
Esau also realized that his father Isaac did not approve of women from the Canaan people-group.
9 Ana higeno Iso'a Ismaelintega vuno a'nema zamante'nefi mago'ene a' omeri'ne. Ismaeli mofa agi'a Mahalati'e, Ismaeli'a Abrahamu nemofo'e. Mahalati'a Nebaioti nenunkna'e.
Because of that, Esau went to see his uncle Ishmael, and married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. Mahalath was the sister of Nabaioth and the granddaughter of Abraham.
10 Hagi Jekopu'a Berseba atreno Harani kaziga vu'ne.
Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and started walking along the road to Haran.
11 Nevigeno kantega zage ufreno hani ome higeno, have fita erinteno mase'ne.
When he arrived at a certain place, he stopped there, because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones there and put it under his head to use as a pillow. Then he lay down and slept there.
12 Anante mase'neno ava'nama keana, mago latamo'a mopareti agafa huteno anagamu monafinka mareri'negeno, Anumzamofo ankeromo'za ana latarera mareri'za tami'za nehazageno ke'ne.
While he was sleeping, he had a dream, in which he [was surprised to] see a stairway. The bottom of the stairway was on the earth and the top was in the sky. Jacob also saw that God’s angels were going up and down the stairway.
13 Ana huno nezmagegeno Ra Anumzamo'a anante otino mani'neno anage huno asami'ne, Nagra negageho Abrahamune, negafa Aisakine Anumzane, Menima mase'nana mopa kagri'ene, kagehe'ine tamigahue.
And he [was surprised to] see Yahweh standing at the top of the stairway, saying “I am Yahweh God, whom your grandfather Abraham worshiped, and whom Isaac worships. I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying.
14 Kagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za kasepankna hu'za fore huhakare hu'za manigahaze. Zage fre kazigane, zage hanati kazigane, ruga raga agentega vu'za e'za hu'za mani titipa hu'za manigahaze. Kagri'ene kagehe'impinti ama mopafi vahe'mo'za asomura erigahaze.
Your descendants will be as numerous as the particles of dirt that are on the earth, and their territory will be very large. It will extend in all directions, to the east and to the west, to the north and to the south. And people of all people-groups on earth will receive blessings because of [what happens to] you and to your descendants.
15 Hanki antahio, Nagra kagrane mani'nena inantego vanoma hananana kva hunegante'na, ete kavre'na ama ana mopare egahue. Ana nehu'na Nagra onkatre'na, huvempama hugante'noa kea eri knare huvagaregahue.
I will help you and protect you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you; I will continue to do for you all that I have promised to do.”
16 Higeno Jekopu'a avu'ma masenereti otino anage hu'ne, Tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a amafi mani'negena nagra ontahi'noane.
[During the night], when Jacob woke up from sleeping, he thought, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and until now I was not aware of it!”
17 Agra amanogu nehuno amanage hu'ne. Ama mopa ruzahu hu'nea mopare e'noe! Ra Anumzamo mani'nea nompi e'noankino, ama mona kafa me'ne.
He was afraid, and he said, “This place is very awesome! This is surely the place where God lives, and this is the entrance to heaven!”
18 Jekopu'a nanterame otino, fita aruno mase'nea havea erisga huno retru renteteno, masve tagino agofetu frenteno eri ruotge hunte'ne.
In the morning Jacob got up and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up on its end to show that the place was a holy place. He poured some olive oil on top of the stone [to dedicate it to God].
19 Agra ana kumakura Beteli'e huno agia antemi'ne. Korapara ana kumamofo agi'a Lusie huno me'neane.
He named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God’.] Previously its name was Luz.
20 Jekopu'a amanage huno huvempa hu'ne, Afete kama nevanugeno Anumzamo'ma nagrane nevuno nagu'vazino ne'za ni'ane kukena'ni'ane nazama nehanigeno,
Jacob solemnly promised God, saying, “God, if you will help me and protect me while I am taking this journey, and if you give me enough food to eat and clothes to wear,
21 mago knazamo navate'ma omesanige'na, nafa'nimofo kumate ete rukrahe hu'na uhanatisu'na, Ra Anumzana nagri Anumzane hu'na hugahue.
in order that I can later return safely to my father’s house, then you, Yahweh, will be the God that I will worship.
22 Ama havema eri retruroana, Anumzamofo no mesie. Mika'zama Anumzamo'ma namisifintira 10ni'ma hania kevua refko hu'na Anumzamofo amitere hugahue.
This stone that I have set up will mark the place where people can worship you. And I will give back to you a tenth of everything that you give to me.”
