Genesisy 28
1 Ary Isaka nampaka an’ i Jakoba ka nitso-drano azy ary namepetra azy hoe: Aza maka vady avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita ianao.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
2 Miainga ka mankanesa any Mesopotamia, any amin’ ny tranon’ i Betoela rain-dreninao; dia makà vady any, avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Labana anadahin-dreninao.
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 Ary Andriamanitra Tsitoha anie hitahy anao ka hahamaro fara anao sy hampitombo anao, mba ho tonga firenena maro ianao;
May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
4 ary homeny anao anie ny fitahiana an’ i Abrahama, dia ho anao sy ny taranakao koa, mba handovanao ny tany fivahinianao, izay efa nomen’ Andriamanitra an’ i Abrahama.
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 Ary Isaka nampandeha an’ i Jakoba ka dia lasa izy nankany Mesopotamia, ho any amin’ i Labana, zanak’ i Betoela Syriana, anadahin-dRebeka, renin’ i Jakoba sy Esao.
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 Ary nony hitan’ i Esao fa Isaka efa nitso-drano an’ i Jakoba ka efa nampandeha azy ho any Mesopotamia haka vady any ary nitso-drano azy sady namepetra azy hoe: Aza maka vady avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita ianao;
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 koa Jakoba efa nanaraka ny tenin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny ka lasa nankany Mesopotamia;
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
8 ary hitan’ i Esao fa efa ratsy teo imason’ Isaka rainy ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita:
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
9 dia lasa Esao nankany amin’ Isimaela ka naka an’ i Mahalota, zanakavavin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Abrahama, sady anabavin’ i Nebaiota, ho vadiny, ho fanampin’ ny vady izay nananany.
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 Dia nivoaka avy tany Beri-sheba Jakoba ka nankany Harana.
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Ary tonga teo amin’ ny fitoerana anankiray izy ka nandry teo niloaka alina, satria efa maty ny masoandro; dia naka vato tamin’ izany fitoerana izany izy, ka nataony ondana, dia nandry teo izy.
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 Ary nanonofy izy, ka, indro, nisy tohatra niorina tamin’ ny tany, ka nipaka tamin’ ny lanitra ny lohany; ary, indreo, nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra niakatra sy nidina teo aminy.
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 Ary, indro, Jehovah niseho teo amboniny ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama rainao sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka; ny tany izay andrianao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao;
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 ary ny taranakao ho be tahaka ny vovoka amin’ ny tany; dia hiely any andrefana sy any atsinanana ary any avaratra sy any atsimo ianao; ary aminao sy ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
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 Ary, indro, Izaho momba anao ka hiaro anao amin’ izay lalan-kalehanao rehetra ary hampody anao indray ho amin’ ity tany ity; fa tsy handao anao Aho mandra-panaoko izay voalazako taminao.
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 Ary Jakoba nahatsiaro tamin’ ny torimasony, dia nanao hoe: Ato amin’ ity fitoerana ity tokoa Jehovah, fa izaho no tsy nahalala.
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
17 Dia raiki-tahotra izy ka nanao hoe: Endrey, mahatahotra ity fitoerana ity! tsy hafa ity, fa tranon’ Andriamanitra sy vavahadin’ ny lanitra.
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 Ary nifoha maraina koa Jakoba, dia naka ilay vato izay nataony ondana ka nanorina azy ho tsangam-bato, dia nampidina diloilo teo aminy.
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 Ary ny anaran’ izany fitoerana izany dia nataony hoe Betela, fa Lozy no anaran’ ilay tanàna tany aloha.
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
20 Dia nivoady Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Raha homba ahy Andriamanitra ka hiaro ahy amin’ izao lalana alehako izao, ary hanome ahy mofo hohaniko sy lamba hitafiako,
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 ka ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara any amin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko aho, dia Jehovah no ho Andriamanitro,
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
22 ary ity vato izay naoriko ho tsangam-bato ity ho tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary izay rehetra homenao ahy, dia homeko Anao tokoa ny ampahafolony.
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."
