Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma denu e nae, “Rena malolole! Ho afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Te muu sia Padan Aram, sia baꞌi Betuel ume na, fo sao mala toꞌo Labꞌan ma ana feto na esa.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain Mana Koasa fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, fo ho umbu-ana mara ramahefu, ma tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Naa fo, Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli Na neu Abraham tudꞌa neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi ma. Dei fo hambu mala rae fo Lamatualain helu-fuli fee neu Abraham a.
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Isak olaꞌ basa ma, ana mboꞌi Yakob Padan Aram neu, nisiꞌ toꞌo Labꞌan no baꞌi Betuel na umen.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Boe ma Esau rena oi Isak fee Yakob papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, ma ai e fo afiꞌ sao ina Kanaꞌan. Ana o rena oi, ama na denu odꞌi na neu sao toꞌo na ana feto na esa sia Padan Aram
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Yakob rena aman no inan parenda na, de lao Padan Aram neu.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
Esau o bubꞌuluꞌ oi, ama na nda hii eni sao, atahori Kanaꞌan ra sa.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
De ana nisiꞌ ama aꞌa na Ismael, de sao nala Ismael anan, naran Mahalat. Mahalat ia, Nebayot feton.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went towards Haran.
Leleꞌ naa Yakob lao hela Beer Syeba, fo nae Haran neu.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Relo a mopo ma, ana losa mamanaꞌ esa, de sungguꞌ sia naa. Ana nae sungguꞌ ma, haꞌi nala fatu esa, fo tao dadꞌi ainulu.
12 He dreamt and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Tetembaꞌ naa, ana nalamein nita eꞌedaꞌ esa nambariiꞌ sia rae ma tonggo na losa lalai. Lamatualain ate Nara mia sorga onda-hene eꞌedaꞌ a.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
Sia meit naa, Yakob nita LAMATUALAIN nambariiꞌ sia bobꞌoa na, de olaꞌ nae, “Au ia LAMATUALAIN, ho baꞌi ma Abraham no Isak Lamatualain na. Dei fo Au fee rae ia neu nggo ma tititi-nonosi mara.
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Mete te, tititi-nonosi mara ramahefu onaꞌ afu. Ara sea-sarangganggaa bee-bꞌee reu sia basa mamanaꞌ. Mia tititi-nonosi mara, basa nusaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
Musunedꞌa malolole! Ho muu sia sudꞌiꞌ a bee-bꞌee o, Au unea nggo. Dei fo Au o baliꞌ nggo misiꞌ nusaꞌ ia. Au nda hela mesaꞌ nggo sa. Ma Au o tao utetu basa hehelu-fufuliꞌ fo Au helu fee nggoꞌ a.”
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
Yakob sungguꞌ fela ma nae, “Au feꞌe uhine ae, LAMATUALAIN o sia ia boe!”
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Ma ana namatau, de duꞌa nae, “We! Mamanaꞌ ia tao au ao fulu ngga tenggou. Memaꞌ Lamatualain ume na sia ia! Ia, lelesu nisiꞌ sorga neu.”
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Mbila fefetu ana na, Yakob fela, haꞌi nala fatu ainuluꞌ a, de naririi e dadꞌi tatandaꞌ. Ana mbori mina nisiꞌ fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa naran Betel, sosoa na nae ‘Lamatualain ume na’. (Maꞌahulu na, mamanaꞌ naa, naran Lus).
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Boe ma Yakob sumba nae, “Mete ma Lamatualain no au, ma nanea au sia dala ngga, ma fee nanaat ma bua-baꞌus,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
losa au baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ, naa, LAMATUALAIN dadꞌi au Lamatua ngga.
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
Fatu fo au uririiꞌ ia, dadꞌi mamana beꞌuteeꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma basa saa fo Ana fee au, dei fo au fee baliꞌ babanggiꞌ esa mia sanahulu.”
