< 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 Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
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.
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 Ehe te hitahy azo t’i El-Sadai, hampibodobodo naho hañamaro azo, soa te ho firimboñam-pifokoañe.
May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
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.
and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which 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.
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
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,
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 shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
7 le nihao­ñe’ Iakòbe i nafanton-drae’e naho i rene’ey vaho nitaveañe mb’e Padan’ Arame añe,
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
8 le napota’ i Esave te tsy nòn-drae’e Ietsake o anak’ ampela’ i Kanàneo;
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
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 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Nienga i Beersevà t’Iakòbe naho nionjo mb’e Kharane añe.
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward 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 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 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 and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending 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.
Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
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 offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
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.
Behold, I am with you, and will keep 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 Ie nivañoñe amy firota’ey t’Iakobe le hoe re, Toe an-toetse atoy t’Iehovà fe tsy napotako.
Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know 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 was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of 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.
Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
19 Natao’e ty hoe Betele ty añara’ i toetsey, fa nitokaveñe ty hoe Loze i tanàñey taolo.
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
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 vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 hibalihako an-kanintsi­ñe mb’añ’ anjomban-draeko añe, le ho Andrianañahareko t’Iehovà,
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh 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.
then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
