Genesis 28
1 Nítorí náà Isaaki pe Jakọbu, ó sì súre fún un, ó sì pàṣẹ fún un pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ aya láàrín àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:
2 Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí Padani-Aramu, sí ilé Betueli, baba ìyá rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fẹ́ aya fún ara rẹ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Labani arákùnrin ìyá rẹ.
But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother’s father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle.
3 Kí Ọlọ́run Olódùmarè El-Ṣaddai kí ó bùkún fún ọ, kí ó sì mú ọ bí sí i, kí ó sì mú ọ pọ̀ sí i ní iye títí tí ìwọ yóò di àgbájọ àwọn ènìyàn.
And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.
4 Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ ní ìre tí ó sú fún Abrahamu, kí ìwọ kí ó le gba ilẹ̀ níbi tí a ti ń ṣe àtìpó yìí, ilẹ̀ tí Ọlọ́run ti fi fún Abrahamu.”
And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Isaaki sì rán Jakọbu lọ. Ó sì lọ sí Padani-Aramu, lọ́dọ̀ Labani ọmọ Betueli, ará Aramu, tí í ṣe arákùnrin Rebeka ìyá Jakọbu àti Esau.
And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.
6 Nígbà tí Esau gbọ́ pé, Isaaki ti súre fún Jakọbu, ó sì ti rán Jakọbu lọ sí Padani-Aramu láti fẹ́ aya níbẹ̀ àti pé nígbà tí ó súre fún un, ó kìlọ̀ fun un pé, kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:
7 àti pé, Jakọbu ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì ti lọ sí Padani-Aramu.
And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria:
8 Nígbà náà ni Esau mọ bí Isaaki baba rẹ ti kórìíra àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani tó.
Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:
9 Nítorí náà Esau tọ Iṣmaeli lọ, ó sì fẹ́ Mahalati, arábìnrin Nebaioti, ọmọbìnrin Iṣmaeli tí í ṣe ọmọ Abrahamu. Ó fẹ́ ẹ, kún àwọn ìyàwó tí ó ti ní tẹ́lẹ̀.
He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nabajoth.
10 Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, ó sì kọrí sí ìlú Harani.
But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
11 Nígbà tí ó dé ibìkan, ó dúró ní òru náà nítorí tí ilẹ̀ ti ń ṣú, ó sì gbé òkúta kan ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí, ó sì sùn.
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place.
12 Ó sì lá àlá pé, a gbé àkàsọ̀ kan dúró ti ó fi ìdí lélẹ̀, orí rẹ̀ sì kan ọ̀run, àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run sì ń gòkè, wọ́n sì ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀.
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it;
13 Olúwa sì dúró lókè rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba rẹ Abrahamu àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki, ìwọ àti ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ dùbúlẹ̀ sórí rẹ̀ yìí fún.
And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed.
14 Ìran rẹ yóò pọ̀ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì tànkálẹ̀ dé ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, àti dé gúúsù àti àríwá. A ó sì bùkún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé nípasẹ̀ ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED.
15 Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi yóò sì pa ọ mọ́ ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ, èmi yóò sì mú ọ padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí ní àlàáfíà. Èmi kì yóò fi ọ sílẹ̀ ní ìgbà kan, títí tí èmi yóò fi mú gbogbo ìlérí mi ṣẹ.”
And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said.
16 Nígbà tí Jakọbu jí lójú oorun rẹ̀, ó rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Dájúdájú Olúwa ń bẹ ní ìhín yìí, èmi kò sì mọ̀.”
And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 Ẹ̀rù sì bà á, ó sì wí pé, “Ìhín yìí ní ẹ̀rù gidigidi; ibí kì í ṣe ibòmíràn bí kò ṣe ilé Ọlọ́run, àní ẹnu ibodè ọ̀run nìyìí.”
And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
18 Jakọbu sì dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, ó sì gbé òkúta tí ó fi ṣe ìrọ̀rí lélẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n, ó sì da òróró si lórí.
And Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it.
19 Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Beteli, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìlú náà ń jẹ́ Lusi tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza.
20 Jakọbu sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ níbẹ̀ pé, “Bí Ọlọ́run yóò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, tí yóò sì pa mí mọ́ ní ìrìnàjò mi tí mo ń lọ, tí yóò sì fún mi ní oúnjẹ láti jẹ àti aṣọ láti wọ̀,
And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 tí mo sì padà sílé baba mi ní àlàáfíà, nígbà náà Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run mi,
And I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God:
22 Òkúta yìí tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ bí ọ̀wọ́n yóò jẹ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, nínú gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ ó fi fún mi, èmi yóò sì fi ìdámẹ́wàá rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.
