Uumama 28
1 Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobin waamee eebbisee akkana jedhee isa ajaje: “Intallan warra Kanaʼaan keessaa hin fuudhin.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Ammuma kaʼiitii gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam mana abbaa haadha keetii mana Betuuʼeel dhaqi. Achiis intallan obboleessa haadha keetii intallan Laabaa keessaa tokko fuudhi.
Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun si haa eebbisu; sanyii siif haa kennu; akka ati saba balʼaa taatuufis si haa baayʼisu.
And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
4 Ati biyya amma alagummaadhaan keessa jiraattu, biyya Waaqni dhaala godhee Abrahaamiif kenne sana akka dhaaltuuf inni eebba Abrahaamiif kenne sii fi sanyii keetiif haa kennu.”
And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
5 Yisihaaqis akkasitti Yaaqoobin erge; Yaaqoobis gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam gara Laabaa ilma Betuuʼeel namicha Arraam sanaa dhaqe; Laabaan kun immoo obboleessa Ribqaa, haadha Yaaqoobii fi Esaawu.
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 Esaawu akka Yisihaaq Yaaqoobin eebbisee akka inni achii niitii fuudhuuf gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamitti isa ergee fi akka isa eebbisettis “Intallan warra Kanaʼaan hin fuudhin” jedhee isa ajaje yommuu beeketti;
And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 Yaaqoob abbaa fi haadha isaatiif ajajamee gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam dhaqe.
and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
8 Esaawus intallan warra Kanaʼaan fuula abbaa isaa Yisihaaq duratti hammam jibbamoo akka taʼan hubate.
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
9 Kanaafuu Esaaw gara Ishmaaʼeel ilma Abrahaam dhaqee Maahalaati intala Ishmaaʼeel obboleettii Nabaayoti niitota dur qabu irratti dabalee fuudhe.
And 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 Yaaqoob Bersheebaa baʼee Kaaraan dhaqe.
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
11 Innis iddoo tokko gaʼee aduun dhiinaan achi bule; dhagoota achi turan keessaas tokko fudhatee mataa jala kaaʼatee rafuuf ciise.
And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
12 Innis achitti abjuu abjoote; kunoo yaabbannoo lafa dhaabatee fiixeen isaa immoo samii gaʼu tokko arge; kunoo ergamoonni Waaqayyoo yaabbannoo sana irra ol baʼaa fi gad buʼaa turan.
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
13 Kunoo Waaqayyo yaabbannoo sana gara irraa dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa abbaa kee Abrahaamii fi Waaqa Yisihaaq; ani lafa ati irra ciiftu kana siif fi sanyii keetiif nan kenna.
And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
14 Sanyiin kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa ni baayʼata; atis gara dhiʼaatti, gara baʼaatti, gara kaabaattii fi kibbaatti ni babalʼatta. Uummanni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa keetii fi karaa sanyii keetiitiin ni eebbifama.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 Kunoo ani si wajjinan jira; lafa ati dhaqxu hundattis sin eega; gara biyya kanaattis deebisee sin fida. Ani hamman waanan waadaa siif gale sana siif guututti si hin dhiisu.”
And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
16 Yaaqoobis yommuu hirribaa kaʼetti, “Dhugumaan Waaqayyo iddoo kana jira; ani waan kana hin hubanne” jedhe.
And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
17 Innis sodaatee, “Iddoon kun akkam nama sodaachisa! Kun mana Waaqaa ti malee waan biraa miti; kun karra samiiti” jedhe.
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 Yaaqoobis guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroo kaʼee dhagaa mataa jala kaaʼatee ture sana fuudhee akka utubaatti ol dhaabe; fiixee isaa irrattis zayitii dhangalaase.
And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 Innis maqaa iddoo sanaa Beetʼeel jedhee moggaase; duraan garuu magaalaan sun Luuzi jedhama ture.
And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
20 Ergasiis Yaaqoob akkana jedhee wareege; “Yoo Waaqni na wajjin taʼe, yoo inni karaa ani deemu kana irratti na eege, yoo waan ani nyaadhuu fi waan ani uffadhu naa kenne,
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
21 yoo ani nagaan mana abbaa kootti deebiʼe, Waaqayyo Waaqa koo ni taʼa;
and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
22 dhagaan ani utubaa godhee ol dhaabe kunis mana Waaqaa taʼa; waan ati naa kennitu keessaas kudhan keessaa tokko siifin kenna.”
And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
