Genesis 28 (RHG)

1Toi Isake Yakubore ḍaikke edde duwa goijje, ar hibaye endilla hokum diye: "Tui Kenaniyo hono mayafuware biya no goribi.So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Do not take a wife from the Canaanite women,” he commanded.

2Tui Paddan Aramot tor mar baf Betuelor górot za, heṛe tor mar bái Labonor hono ziyaindor butottu tolla ugguwa bou lo.“Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take a wife from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.

3Šorbo-Šoktiwala Allaye tore rahamot gorok edde fólwala gorok edde barai tulok, toi zene tui ugguwa bout zatir šomaz os.May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a company of peoples.

4Ar hibaye Ibrahimor duwa tui edde tor fũwati tor bongšore dok, toi zene ze zagat tui ehon ekzon bidešitta hisabe takor, ziyanore Allaye Ibrahimore dil, hiyan tor šombotti oi fare."And may He give the blessing of Abraham to you and your descendants, so that you may possess the land where you dwell as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

5Toi Isake Yakubore bidai diye, edde Yakube Paddan Aramot, Aramiyo Betuelor fut, Rebekar bái Labonor hãse giye, ze aššil Yakub edde Išor ma.So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.

6Iše zehon zanifaijje ze Isake Yakubore duwa goijje edde Paddan Aramottu hono ek maya fuwa biya goribolla heṛe defeṛaiye, edde hitare duwa goribar šomot hokum dil, "Tui Kenaniyo hono mayafuware biya no goribi."Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to take a wife there, commanding him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”

7Ar Yakube hitar baf edde mar hota mainne edde Paddan Aramot giyegoi.and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

8Toi Išye buzi faijje ze Kenaniyo mayafuwain okkol hitar baf sukot hondilla horaf de hiyan.And seeing that his father Isaac disapproved of the Canaanite women,

9Hetolla hite Ismailor heṛe giye, edde dui bou bade hite Ibrahimor fut Ismailor zi, Nebayotor boin, Mahalathore biya goijje.Esau went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had.

10Ar Yakub Beer-Šebattu niyoliyore Haranor mikka giye.Meanwhile Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.

11Ar hono ek zagat fõsi bade heṛe rait haṛaiye, kiyollahoile beil góillegoi. Toi hibaye hentu ugguwa fattor loiye, edde matar tole diyore gum zaibolla neiṭṭe.On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.

12Toi Yakube šopponot dekedde, duniyair uwore ekkan hãṭṭa uwa oi roiye, ar hiyanor uworor mata asman suiye, ar so, hiyan bai Allar firista okkol uṛa lama gorer.And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.

13Ar Mabude hiyanor uwore tiyaiye edde hodde: "Ãi Mabud, tor baf Ibrahimor edde Isakor Allah. Tui zeṛe neṛi roiyos he zaga hiyanore ãi tore edde tor bongšore diyum.And there at the top the LORD was standing and saying, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you now lie.

14Tor bongšo okkol duniyair dúilor ḍoilla oibo edde fuk fosim edde uttor doine tor bongšo šiṛi zaiboi, edde tui edde tor bongšor duwara duniyair hár zatire duwa gora oibo.Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and east and north and south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

15Ar sa, ãi tor fũwati asi, tui zeṛe zaibi za, ãi tore rokka goriyum, edde ãi tore ei zagat loi aniyum; kiyollahoile ãi tore wada diyide hin goijja no oite ãi tore eri no zaiyumboi."Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

16Bade Yakubor gum bainge edde hiba hodde, "Ei zagat hameka Mabud ase, ar ãi to iyan no zanitam."When Jacob woke up, he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.”

17Ar hibaye ḍoraiye edde hodde, "Ken ḍor lagede zaga iyan! Iyan ar kissu no, hameka Allar gór oibo, iyan oilde behostor geiṭ."And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven!”

18Tarfore Yakube binna sore uiṭṭe edde ze fattor hibaye matar tole dil hiba loi faiya ḍoilla gori buwaiye edde hibar uwore tel ḍaille.Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head, and he set it up as a pillar. He poured oil on top of it,

19Ar he zagar nam diye Betel, zodi o he šohorganor nam age Luz aššil.and he called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz.

20Toi Yakube ek manoš goijje edde hodde, "Zodi Allah ãr fũwati take edde zeṛe zair he fõtot ãre rokka gore, edde ãre háibolla hána ar findibolla hoor de,Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,

21ar zodi šušondane ãi bafor górot firi aifari, toile ei Mabud ãr Allah oibo.so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.

22Ar ze fattor ãi eṛe faiyar ḍoilla tiya gorai raikki, hiyan Allar gór oibo, ar tũi za kissu ãre diba hinor doš bag ai tũware diyum."And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
