Genesis 28
1 At tinawag ni Isaac si Jacob, at siya'y binasbasan, at siya'y pinagbilinan, na sinabi sa kaniya, Huwag kang magaasawa sa mga anak ng Canaan.
And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.
2 Tumindig ka, pumaroon ka sa Padan-aram, sa bahay ni Bethuel, na ama ng iyong ina, at magasawa ka roon sa mga anak ni Laban, na kapatid na lalake ng iyong ina.
But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.
3 At ikaw ay pagpalain nawa ng Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, at ikaw ay palaguin, at ikaw ay paramihin, upang ikaw ay maging kapisanan ng mga bayan;
And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.
4 At ibigay nawa sa iyo ang pagpapala kay Abraham, sa iyo, at sangpu sa iyong binhi; upang iyong ariin ang lupaing iyong pinaglakbayan, na ibinigay ng Dios kay Abraham.
And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”
5 At pinapagpaalam ni Isaac si Jacob: at naparoon siya sa Padan-aram kay Laban, anak ni Bethuel na taga Siria, na kapatid ni Rebeca, na ina ni Jacob at ni Esau.
And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.
6 Nakita nga ni Esau na binasbasan ni Isaac si Jacob, at siya'y pinaparoon sa Padan-aram, upang doon magasawa; at nang siya'y basbasan ay ipinagbilin sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Huwag kang magaasawa sa mga anak ng Canaan.
But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’
7 At sumunod si Jacob sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang ina, at naparoon sa Padan-aram;
and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
8 At nakita ni Esau na hindi nakalulugod ang mga anak ng Canaan kay Isaac na kaniyang ama;
having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
9 At naparoon si Esau kay Ismael, at nagasawa kay Mahaleth, anak ni Ismael, na anak ni Abraham, na kapatid na babae ni Nabaioth, bukod pa sa mga asawang mayroon na siya.
he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
10 At umalis si Jacob sa Beerseba at napasa dakong Haran.
Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
11 At dumating sa isang dako, at nagparaan ng buong gabi roon, sapagka't lumubog na ang araw; at kumuha ng isa sa mga bato sa dakong yaon, at inilagay sa kaniyang ulunan, at nahiga sa dakong yaon upang matulog.
And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.
12 At nanaginip, at narito, ang isang hagdan, na ang puno ay nasa lupa, at ang dulo ay umaabot sa langit; at narito, ang mga anghel ng Dios na nagmamanhik manaog doon.
And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,
13 At, narito, ang Panginoon ay nasa kataastaasan niyaon, at nagsabi, Ako ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Abraham na iyong ama, at ang Dios ni Isaac: ang lupang kinahihigaan mo ay ibibigay ko sa iyo at sa iyong binhi;
and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.
14 At ang iyong binhi ay magiging parang alabok sa lupa, at kakalat ka sa kalunuran, at sa silanganan, at sa hilagaan, at sa timugan at sa iyo at sa iyong binhi ay pagpapalain ang lahat ng angkan sa lupa.
And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.
15 At, narito't ako'y sumasa iyo, at iingatan kita saan ka man pumaroon, at pababalikin kita sa lupaing ito sapagka't hindi kita iiwan hanggang hindi ko magawa ang sinalita ko sa iyo.
And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”
16 At nagising si Jacob sa kaniyang panaginip, at nagsabi, Tunay na ang Panginoon ay nasa dakong ito, at hindi ko nalalaman.
And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 At siya'y natakot, at kaniyang sinabi, Kakilakilabot na dako ito! ito'y hindi iba kundi bahay ng Dios, at ito ang pintuan ng langit.
And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”
18 At si Jacob ay bumangong maaga ng kinaumagahan, at kinuha ang batong kaniyang inilagay sa ulunan niya, at kaniyang itinayo na pinakaalaala, at kaniyang binuhusan ng langis sa ibabaw.
Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.
19 At ang ipinangalan niya sa dakong yaon ay Betel: datapuwa't ang pangalan ng bayan nang una ay Luz.
And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
20 At si Jacob ay nagpanata, na sinasabi, Kung sasaakin ang Dios, at ako'y iingatan sa daang ito na aking nilalakaran, at ako'y bibigyan ng tinapay na makakain, at damit na maisusuot,
And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21 Na ano pa't ako'y makabalik na payapa sa bahay ng aking ama, ay ang Panginoon nga ang magiging aking Dios,
and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
22 At ang batong ito na aking itinayo na pinakaalaala ay magiging bahay ng Dios; at sa lahat ng ibigay mo sa akin ay walang pagsalang ang ikasangpung bahagi ay ibibigay ko sa iyo.
and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”
