Pirmā Mozus 28
1 Tad Īzaks aicināja Jēkabu un to svētīja un tam pavēlēja un uz to sacīja: tev nebūs sievu ņemt no Kanaāniešu meitām.
And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.
2 Celies, ej uz Mezopotamiju, Betuēļa, savas mātes tēva, namā, un ņem sev sievu no turienes, no Lābana, savas mātes brāļa, meitām.
But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.
3 Un tas visuvarenais Dievs lai tevi svētī un lai tevi dara auglīgu un lai tevi vairo, ka topi par lielu ļaužu pulku.
And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.
4 Un lai viņš tev dod Ābrahāma svētību, tev un tavam dzimumam ar tevi, ka tu vari iemantot to zemi, kur tu esi piemitis, ko Dievs Ābrahāmam ir devis.
And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”
5 Tā Īzaks atlaida Jēkabu, un tas gāja uz Mezopotamiu pie Lābana, Betuēļa, tā Sīrieša, dēla, Rebekas, Jēkaba un Ēsava mātes, brāļa.
And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.
6 Kad nu Ēsavs redzēja, ka Īzaks Jēkabu bija svētījis un uz Mezopotamiu sūtījis, no turienes sievu ņemt, un ka viņš to svētījot tam bija pavēlējis sacīdams: tev nebūs sievu ņemt no Kanaāniešu meitām,
But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’
7 Un ka Jēkabs savam tēvam un savai mātei bija paklausījis un uz Mezopotamiu aizgājis,
and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
8 Un kad Ēsavs arī redzēja, ka Īzaks, viņa tēvs, tās Kanaāniešu meitas neieredzēja, -
having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
9 Tad Ēsavs gāja pie Ismaēla un ņēma klāt pie savām sievām sev par sievu Maālatu, Ismaēla, Ābrahāma dēla, meitu, Nebajota māsu. -
he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
10 Un Jēkabs aizgāja no Bēršebas un gāja uz Hāranu.
Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
11 Un tam gadījās nonākt kādā vietā, tur viņš palika par nakti, jo saule bija nogājusi; un tas ņēma vienu no tās vietas akmeņiem un lika to sev pagalvē un apgūlās tanī vietā.
And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.
12 Un tas sapņoja, un redzi, trepes bija celtas virs zemes, un viņu virsgals aiztika debesis, un redzi, Dieva eņģeļi pa tām uzkāpa un nokāpa.
And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,
13 Un redzi, Tas Kungs stāvēja virsgalā un sacīja: Es esmu Tas Kungs, tava tēva Ābrahāma Dievs un Īzaka Dievs; to zemi, kur tu guli, Es došu tev un tavam dzimumam.
and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.
14 Un tavs dzimums būs kā zemes pīšļi, un tu izplētīsies pret vakariem un pret rītiem, uz ziemeļa pusi un uz dienasvidus pusi, un caur tevi un tavu sēklu visas zemes ciltis taps svētītas.
And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.
15 Un redzi, Es esmu ar tevi un pasargāšu tevi visur, kur tu noiesi, un pārvedīšu tevi atkal uz šo zemi; jo Es tevi negribu atstāt, tiekams Es izdarīšu, ko Es uz tevi esmu runājis.
And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”
16 Kad nu Jēkabs no sava miega atmodās, tad tas sacīja: tiešām, Tas Kungs ir šinī vietā, un es to neesmu zinājis.
And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 Un viņš bijās un sacīja: cik bijājama ir šī vieta! Še ir tiešām Dieva nams un še ir debesu vārti.
And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”
18 Un Jēkabs cēlās rītā agri un ņēma to akmeni, kas tam bija pagalvē bijis, un to uzcēla par zīmi un tam uzlēja eļļu virsū.
Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.
19 Un viņš nosauca tās vietas vārdu Bēteli (Dieva nams); bet papriekš tai pilsētai bija Lūza vārds.
And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
20 Un Jēkabs solīdamies solījās un sacīja: ja Dievs Tas Kungs būs ar mani un mani pasargās uz šā ceļa, ko es staigāju, un man dos maizi ēst un drēbes ģērbties,
And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21 Un man liks ar mieru pāriet sava tēva namā, tad Tas Kungs lai man ir par Dievu.
and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
22 Un šim akmenim, ko esmu uzcēlis par zīmi, būs tapt par Dieva namu, un no visa, ko Tu man dosi, es Tev došu desmito tiesu.
and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”
