< Genesis 28 >

1 Then Isaac summoned Jacob, and gave him a blessing. He told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group.
Inayaban ni Isaac ni Jacob, binendisionanna isuna, ken binilinna isuna, “Masapul a saanka a mangala ti asawam manipud kadagiti Canaaneo a babbai.
2 Instead, go right away to Paddan-Aram [in northwest Mesopotamia], to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Ask one of the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban to marry you.
Tumakderka, mapanka idiay Padan Aram, idiay balay ni Betuel nga ama ti inam, ket mangalaka iti asawam sadiay, maysa kadagiti annak a babbai ni Laban a kabsat ti inam.
3 I will pray that God Almighty will bless you, and enable you to [get married and] have many descendants, in order that they will become many people-groups.
Bendisionannaka koma ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin, pagbalinennaka a nabunga ken paaduennaka, tapno agbalinka a rineprep ti tattao.
4 I also will pray that he will bless you and your descendants by enabling you to possess/seize the land in which you are now living as a foreigner, the land that God promised to give to [my father] Abraham and his descendants.”
Itedna koma kenka ti bendision ni Abraham, kenka, ken kadagiti kaputotamto, tapno matawidmo ti daga a nagnanaedam nga inted ti Dios kenni Abraham.
5 So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-Aram, to live with Rebekah’s brother Laban, the son of Bethuel, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
Imbaon ngarud ni Isaac ni Jacob nga umadayo. Napan ni Jacob idiay Padan Aram, iti ayan ni Laban nga anak ni Betuel nga Arameo, a kabsat ni Rebecca nga ina da Jacob ken Esau.
6 Esau found out that his father Isaac had blessed Jacob and then sent him to Paddan-Aram. He also found out that when he blessed Isaac, he told him, “Do not marry a woman of the Canaan people-group,”
Ita, nakita ni Esau a binendisionan ni Isaac ni Jacob ket imbaonna idiay Padan-aram tapno mangala iti asawana sadiay. Nakitana met a binendisionan ni Isaac isuna ken binilinna a kunana, “Masapul a saanka a mangala iti asawam manipud kadagiti babbai iti Canaan.”
7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother, and had gone to Paddan-Aram.
Nakita met ni Esau a tinungpal ni Jacob ti amana ken ti inana, ket napan idiay Padan-aram.
8 Esau also realized that his father Isaac did not approve of women from the Canaan people-group.
Nakita ni Esau a saan a naay-ayo ni Isaac nga amana kadagiti babbai iti Canaan.
9 Because of that, Esau went to see his uncle Ishmael, and married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. Mahalath was the sister of Nabaioth and the granddaughter of Abraham.
Isu a napan isuna kenni Ismael, ket innalana a kas asawana ni Mahalat a kabsat ni Nebayot a putot ni Ismael, a putot ni Abraham, malaksid kadagiti addan nga assawana.
10 Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and started walking along the road to Haran.
Pimmanaw ni Jacob idiay Beerseba ket nagturong idiay Haran.
11 When he arrived at a certain place, he stopped there, because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones there and put it under his head to use as a pillow. Then he lay down and slept there.
Nakadanun isuna iti maysa a lugar ket nagpatpatnag sadiay, gapu ta limneken ti init. Nangala isuna iti maysa kadagiti bato iti dayta a disso, impunganna daytoy, ket nagidda iti dayta a disso tapno maturog.
12 While he was sleeping, he had a dream, in which he [was surprised to] see a stairway. The bottom of the stairway was on the earth and the top was in the sky. Jacob also saw that God’s angels were going up and down the stairway.
Nagtagtagainep isuna ket nakitana ti maysa nga agdan a nakapasdek iti rabaw ti daga. Nakadanun ti murdongna idiay langit ket ngumato ken bumaba dagiti anghel ti Dios iti daytoy.
13 And he [was surprised to] see Yahweh standing at the top of the stairway, saying “I am Yahweh God, whom your grandfather Abraham worshiped, and whom Isaac worships. I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying.
Pagammoan, nagtakder ni Yahweh iti ngatoen daytoy ket kinunana, “Siak ni Yahweh a Dios ni Abraham nga amam, ken ti Dios ni Isaac. Itedkonto kenka ken kadagiti kaputotam ti daga a pagid-iddaam.
14 Your descendants will be as numerous as the particles of dirt that are on the earth, and their territory will be very large. It will extend in all directions, to the east and to the west, to the north and to the south. And people of all people-groups on earth will receive blessings because of [what happens to] you and to your descendants.
Kaslanto tapok iti daga dagiti kaputotam, ket agwaraskayto iti adayo; iti laud, iti daya, iti amianan ken iti abagatan. Kenka ken kadagiti kaputotam ket mabendisionanto dagiti amin a pamilia iti daga.
15 I will help you and protect you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you; I will continue to do for you all that I have promised to do.”
Kitaem, addaak kenka, ket aywanankanto iti sadinoman a papanam. Iyegkanto manen iti daytoy a daga; ta saankanto a panawan. Aramidekto amin nga inkarik kenka.”
16 [During the night], when Jacob woke up from sleeping, he thought, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and until now I was not aware of it!”
Nakariing ni Jacob iti pannaturogna, ket kinunana, “Awan duadua nga adda ditoy a disso ni Yahweh, ket saanko a napanunot dayta.”
17 He was afraid, and he said, “This place is very awesome! This is surely the place where God lives, and this is the entrance to heaven!”
Nagbuteng isuna ket kinunana, “Anian a nakabutbuteng daytoy a disso! Daytoy ket awanen sabali no di ti balay ti Dios. Daytoy ti ruangan ti langit.”
18 In the morning Jacob got up and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up on its end to show that the place was a holy place. He poured some olive oil on top of the stone [to dedicate it to God].
Nagriing ni Jacob iti nasapa ket innalana ti bato a nagpungananna. Impasdekna a kas adigi ket binukbukanna iti lana ti rabaw daytoy.
19 He named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God’.] Previously its name was Luz.
Pinanagananna dayta a lugar iti Betel, ngem ti sigud a nagan dayta a siudad ket Luz.
20 Jacob solemnly promised God, saying, “God, if you will help me and protect me while I am taking this journey, and if you give me enough food to eat and clothes to wear,
Nagsapata ni Jacob a kunana, “No kaduaannak ti Dios ken salaknibannak iti daytoy a dalan a pagpagnaak, ken ikkannak iti tinapay a kanek, ken pagan-anay nga ikawesko,
21 in order that I can later return safely to my father’s house, then you, Yahweh, will be the God that I will worship.
iti kasta ket makasangpetak a sitatalged idiay balay ni amak, ni Yahweh ti agbalinto a Diosko.
22 This stone that I have set up will mark the place where people can worship you. And I will give back to you a tenth of everything that you give to me.”
Ket daytoy a bato nga impasdekko a kas adigi ket agbalinto a nasagradoan a bato. Manipud iti tunggal banag nga itedmo kaniak, sigurado nga isublikto kenka ti apagkapullo.”
