Uumama 28
1 Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobin waamee eebbisee akkana jedhee isa ajaje: “Intallan warra Kanaʼaan keessaa hin fuudhin.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
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 Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun si haa eebbisu; sanyii siif haa kennu; akka ati saba balʼaa taatuufis si haa baayʼisu.
May God Almighty bless you, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude 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.”
May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants after you, that you may inherit the land where you have been living, 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.
So Isaac sent Jacob away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, 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;
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take a wife from there. He also saw that Isaac had blessed him and given him a command, saying, “You must not take a wife from the women of Canaan.”
7 Yaaqoob abbaa fi haadha isaatiif ajajamee gara kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam dhaqe.
Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan Aram.
8 Esaawus intallan warra Kanaʼaan fuula abbaa isaa Yisihaaq duratti hammam jibbamoo akka taʼan hubate.
Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
9 Kanaafuu Esaaw gara Ishmaaʼeel ilma Abrahaam dhaqee Maahalaati intala Ishmaaʼeel obboleettii Nabaayoti niitota dur qabu irratti dabalee fuudhe.
So he 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.
Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
11 Innis iddoo tokko gaʼee aduun dhiinaan achi bule; dhagoota achi turan keessaas tokko fudhatee mataa jala kaaʼatee rafuuf ciise.
He came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones in that place, put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
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.
He dreamed and saw a stairway set up on the earth. Its top reached to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and descending on 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.
Behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.
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.
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread far out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south. Through you and through your descendants will 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.”
Behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you into this land again; for I will not leave you. I will do all that I have promised to you.”
16 Yaaqoobis yommuu hirribaa kaʼetti, “Dhugumaan Waaqayyo iddoo kana jira; ani waan kana hin hubanne” jedhe.
Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 Innis sodaatee, “Iddoon kun akkam nama sodaachisa! Kun mana Waaqaa ti malee waan biraa miti; kun karra samiiti” jedhe.
He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. 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.
Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 Innis maqaa iddoo sanaa Beetʼeel jedhee moggaase; duraan garuu magaalaan sun Luuzi jedhama ture.
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was Luz.
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,
Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will protect me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
21 yoo ani nagaan mana abbaa kootti deebiʼe, Waaqayyo Waaqa koo ni taʼa;
so that I return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh will be my God.
22 dhagaan ani utubaa godhee ol dhaabe kunis mana Waaqaa taʼa; waan ati naa kennitu keessaas kudhan keessaa tokko siifin kenna.”
Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
