Genesisy 28
1 Tinoka’ Ietsàk’ amy zao t’Iakòbe naho tinata’e vaho nafanto’e ami’ty hoe, Ko mañenga valy amo anak’ ampela nte-Kanàneo.
Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him.
2 Mionjona mb’e Padan’ arame, mb’añ’ anjomba’ i Betoele, raen-drene’o añe, vaho mañengà amo anak’ampela’ i Labàne, rahalahin-drene’oo.
“Leave right away and go to Paddan-aram, to the home of Bethuel, your mother's father. Find yourself a wife there—a daughter of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 Ehe te hitahy azo t’i El-Sadai, hampibodobodo naho hañamaro azo, soa te ho firimboñam-pifokoañe.
God Almighty bless you and may your descendants be so numerous that you become the ancestor of many nations.
4 Le hatolo’e azo naho amo tarira’o mindre ama’oo o fitahiañe i Avrahameo, handovà’o i tane maha-renetane azoy, i natolon’ Añahare amy Avrahamey.
May he grant you and your descendants the same blessing he gave to Abraham, so that you may take over the land where you now live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
5 Aa le nirahe’ Ietsàke mb’ eo t’Iakòbe, hañavelo mb’e Padan’ arame, mb’ amy Labàne ana’ i Betoele nte-Arame, rahalahi’ i Ribkae rene’ i Esave naho Iakòbe añe.
So Isaac sent Jacob on his way. He traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 Ie nirendre’ i Esave te nitatae’ Ietsake t’Iakòbe naho nirahe’e mb’e Padan’ arame mb’eo hañenga valy boak’añe, ie nitata aze ro namantoke ty hoe, Ko mañenga amo anak’ ampela’ i Kanàneo,
Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife there, and that when he blessed him he ordered him, “Don't marry a Canaanite woman.”
7 le nihaoñe’ Iakòbe i nafanton-drae’e naho i rene’ey vaho nitaveañe mb’e Padan’ Arame añe,
He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram.
8 le napota’ i Esave te tsy nòn-drae’e Ietsake o anak’ ampela’ i Kanàneo;
This made Esau realize how much his father disliked Canaanite women.
9 aa le nimb’ am’ Iesmaèle mb’eo re nañenga i Makalate, rahavave’ i Nebaiote, ana’ Iesmaèle ana’ i Avrahame, ho tovo’ o vali’eo.
So he went to Ishmael's family and married an additional wife—Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
10 Nienga i Beersevà t’Iakòbe naho nionjo mb’e Kharane añe.
In the meantime Jacob had set off from Beersheba on his way to Haran.
11 Ie nahaisake toetse, le nialeñe ao fa nimotake i àndroy. Nangalak’ amo vato eio re naho napo’e ho ankala’ ty añambone’e vaho nandre niròtse amy toetsey.
He arrived after sunset at a particular place and stopped there for the night. He picked up a stone, put it under his head, lay down and went to sleep.
12 Nañinofy re, le ingo ty fanongà nitroatse an-tane eo, ty ambone’e naha-takatse an-digiligin-dikerañe eñe vaho inge, niañambone naho nizotsoa’ o anjelin’Añahareo.
He dreamed he saw a stairway that started on earth, and the top reached all the way into heaven. He saw God's angels going up and down on it.
13 Naheo’e te nijohañe ambone’e ey t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañaharen-drae’o Avrahame naho Andrianañahare’ Iets’ake. Hatoloko azo naho amo tarira’oo o tane andrea’o henaneo.
Then he saw the Lord standing over him, who said, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac. I'm giving you and your descendants the land you're lying on.
14 Ho mira ami’ty debo’ ty tane toy o tarira’oo, ie hangetseketseke mañandrefa naho maniñana naho mañavaratse vaho mañatimo, le ihe naho o tarira’oo ro hitahiañe ze hene hasavereña’ ty tane toy.
Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth, and will spread out west and east, and north and south. Everyone on earth will be blessed by your descendants.
15 Inao, mpindre ama’o iraho, hañambeñe azo ndra aia’aia ty hañaveloa’o, vaho hampoliko an-tane atoy, le tsy hieng’ azo naho tsy henefeko o vinolako ama’oo.
Listen! I am with you and will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this country. I won't leave you because I'm going to do what I've promised you.”
16 Ie nivañoñe amy firota’ey t’Iakobe le hoe re, Toe an-toetse atoy t’Iehovà fe tsy napotako.
When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”
17 Nihemban-dre le nanao ty hoe, Akore ty harevendreveñañe etoañe! Ts’inoñe naho tsy anjomban’ Añahare ty etoa vaho itoy i lalambein-dikerañey.
He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”
18 Nitroatse marain-tsikiake t’Iakòbe le rinambe’e i vato napo’e ho ankala’ ty añambone’ey naho natroa’e ho ajiba, vaho nañiliña’e solike ambone’e eo.
When Jacob got up in the morning he took the stone he'd put under his head and set it upright as a stone pillar and poured some olive oil on it.
19 Natao’e ty hoe Betele ty añara’ i toetsey, fa nitokaveñe ty hoe Loze i tanàñey taolo.
He named the place “Bethel,” (previously it was called Luz).
20 Nifanta amy zao t’Iakòbe ami’ty hoe, Naho hañimbañ’ ahiko t’i Andrianañahare, hañaro ahy ami’ty liako toy naho hamahañe ahy hànen-ko haneñe naho lamba hisikinañe,
Jacob also made a solemn promise, saying, “God, if you will be with me, and take care of me on my journey, and give me food to eat and clothes to wear
21 hibalihako an-kanintsiñe mb’añ’ anjomban-draeko añe, le ho Andrianañahareko t’Iehovà,
so I can return safely to my father's home, then you Lord will be my God.
22 naho ho anjomban’ Añahare ty vato natroako ho ajiba toy, vaho toe homeako Azo ty faha-folo’ ze hene hatolo’o ahiko.
This stone pillar that I've set up will be the house of God, and I will give you one tenth of all you give me.”
