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 calls to Jacob, and blesses him, and commands him, and says to him, “You must not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
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.
rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban;
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 you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and you have become an assembly of peoples;
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 He gives to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, to cause you to possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.”
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 Isaac sends Jacob away, and he goes to Padan-Aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 sees that Isaac has blessed Jacob, and has sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from there a wife—in his blessing him that he lays a charge on him, saying, You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan—
7 àti pé, Jakọbu ti gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì ti lọ sí Padani-Aramu.
that Jacob listens to his father and to his mother, and goes to Padan-Aram—
8 Nígbà náà ni Esau mọ bí Isaaki baba rẹ ti kórìíra àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani tó.
and Esau sees that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of his father Isaac,
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.
and Esau goes to Ishmael, and takes Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to himself, for a wife.
10 Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, ó sì kọrí sí ìlú Harani.
And Jacob goes out from Beer-Sheba, and goes toward 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 he touches at a [certain] place, and lodges there, for the sun has gone in, and he takes of the stones of the place, and makes [them] his pillows, and lies down in that 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 dreams, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and behold, messengers of God are going up and coming down 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 behold, YHWH is standing on it, and He says, “I [am] YHWH, God of your father Abraham, and God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying, to you I give it, and to your 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 your seed has been as the dust of the land, and you have broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you and in your seed.
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 behold, I [am] with you, and have kept you wherever you go, and have caused you to return to this ground; for I do not leave you until I have surely done that which I have spoken to you.”
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 Jacob awakens out of his sleep and says, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I did not know”;
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 he fears and says, “How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.”
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 rises early in the morning, and takes the stone which he has made his pillows, and makes it a standing pillar, and pours oil on its top,
19 Ó sì pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Beteli, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìlú náà ń jẹ́ Lusi tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
and he calls the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.
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 Jacob vows a vow, saying, “Seeing God is with me, and has kept me in this way which I am going, and has given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on—
21 tí mo sì padà sílé baba mi ní àlàáfíà, nígbà náà Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run mi,
when I have turned back in peace to the house of my father, and YHWH has become 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.”
then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that You give to me—tithing I tithe to You.”
