28 Isxaaqna wuxuu u yeedhay Yacquub, wuuna u duceeyey, oo wuxuu ku amray, oo ku yidhi, Waa inaadan naag ka guursan gabdhaha reer Kancaan. Kac oo xagga Fadan Araam tag, iyo xagga gurigii Betuu'el oo ah hooyadaa aabbeheed; oo halkaas naag ka guurso gabdhaha Laabaan oo ah hooyadaa walaalkeed. Oo Ilaaha Qaadirka ahu ha ku barakeeyo, oo ha ku badiyo, oo ha ku tarmiyo, inaad noqotid dad faro badan, oo ha ku siiyo barakadii Ibraahim, adiga iyo farcankaaga kula joogaba, inaad dhaxashid dalka aad qariibka ku tahay, oo Ilaah Ibraahim siiyey. Isxaaqna Yacquub wuu diray: oo wuxuu u kacay Fadan Araam xagga Laabaan, ina Betuu'el kii reer Suuriya, oo ahaa Rebeqah walaalkeed tii ahayd Yacquub iyo Ceesaw hooyadood. Ceesawna wuxuu arkay in Isxaaq u duceeyey Yacquub oo u diray Fadan Araam, inuu halkaas naag ka guursado, iyo inuu markuu u duceeyey amray, oo ku yidhi, Waa inaadan naag ka guursan gabdhaha reer Kancaan; iyo in Yacquub addeecay aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, oo uu u kacay xagga Fadan Araam. Oo Ceesaw wuxuu arkay inaanay gabdhaha reer Kancaan ka farxin aabbihiis Isxaaq. Markaasuu Ceesaw wuxuu u kacay xagga Ismaaciil, oo wuxuu naagihii uu qabay ku daray Mahalad gabadhii Ismaaciil ina Ibraahim, taas oo ahayd Nebayod walaashiis, si ay naagtiisii u noqoto.

Riyadii Yacquub Ku Riyooday Beytel

10 Yacquubna waa ka tegey Bi'ir Shebac, oo wuxuu u kacay xagga Haaraan. 11 Oo meel buu gaadhay oo halkaasuu habeenkii oo dhan joogay, maxaa yeelay, qorraxdu way dhacday, markaasuu qaaday mid ka mid ah dhagxantii meeshaas, oo barkaday, halkaasuuna jiifsaday si uu u seexdo. 12 Wuuna riyooday, oo riyadiisii wuxuu ku arkay sallaan dhulka qotoma oo caaraddiisiina samada gaadhay, wuxuuna arkay malaa'igihii Ilaah oo ku koraya, kuna soo degaya. 13 Oo bal eeg, Rabbigaa isdul taagay, oo yidhi, Waxaan ahay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowgaa Ibraahim, iyo Ilaaha Isxaaq. Dhulka aad ku jiifto, waxaan siin doonaa adiga iyo farcankaaga. 14 Farcankaaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida ciidda dhulka, oo waxaad ku firdhi doontaan tan iyo galbeed, iyo bari, iyo tan iyo woqooyi, iyo koonfur: oo adiga iyo farcankaagay qabiilooyinka dhulka oo dhammu ku barakoobi doonaan. 15 Oo bal eeg, waan kula jiraa, meel alla meeshii aad tagtidna waan kugu dhawri doonaa, dalkanna mar kalaan kugu soo celin doonaa; waayo, anigu kaa tegi maayo ilaa aan sameeyo wixii aan kugula hadlay. 16 Markaasuu Yacquub ka toosay hurdadiisii, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hubaal Rabbigaa halkan jooga, mana aan ogayn. 17 Wuuna cabsaday, oo wuxuu yidhi, Meeshanu cabsi badanaa! Tanu meel kale ma aha, gurigii Ilaah mooyaane, tanuna waa iriddii samada. 18 Yacquubna aroor horuu kacay, oo wuxuu qaaday dhagaxii uu barkaday, oo sidii tiir buu u qotomiyey, kolkaasuu saliid ku dul shubay. 19 Meeshaas magaceediina wuxuu u bixiyey Beytel: laakiinse markii hore magaalada magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Luus. 20 Yacquubna nidar buu nidray, oo wuxuu yidhi, Haddii Ilaah ila jiro, oo uu jidkan aan socdo igu dhawro, oo uu i siiyo wax aan cuno, iyo dhar aan xidho, 21 oo aan aniga oo nabad qaba ku soo noqdo gurigii aabbahay, markaas Rabbigu wuxuu ii noqon doonaa Ilaah, 22 oo dhagaxan aan sidii tiir u qotomiyey, wuxuu noqon doonaa guriga Ilaah: oo wax alla wixii aad i siisidna hubaal meel tobnaadka adigaan ku siin doonaa.

28 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed(A) him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman.(B) Go at once to Paddan Aram,[a](C) to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel.(D) Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.(E) May God Almighty[b](F) bless(G) you and make you fruitful(H) and increase your numbers(I) until you become a community of peoples. May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham,(J) so that you may take possession of the land(K) where you now reside as a foreigner,(L) the land God gave to Abraham.” Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way,(M) and he went to Paddan Aram,(N) to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean,(O) the brother of Rebekah,(P) who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.

Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”(Q) and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women(R) were to his father Isaac;(S) so he went to Ishmael(T) and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth(U) and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.(V)

Jacob’s Dream at Bethel

10 Jacob left Beersheba(W) and set out for Harran.(X) 11 When he reached a certain place,(Y) he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head(Z) and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream(AA) in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.(AB) 13 There above it[c] stood the Lord,(AC) and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.(AD) I will give you and your descendants the land(AE) on which you are lying.(AF) 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you(AG) will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.(AH) All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[d](AI) 15 I am with you(AJ) and will watch over you(AK) wherever you go,(AL) and I will bring you back to this land.(AM) I will not leave you(AN) until I have done what I have promised you.(AO)(AP)

16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep,(AQ) he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place!(AR) This is none other than the house of God;(AS) this is the gate of heaven.”

18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head(AT) and set it up as a pillar(AU) and poured oil on top of it.(AV) 19 He called that place Bethel,[e](AW) though the city used to be called Luz.(AX)

20 Then Jacob made a vow,(AY) saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me(AZ) on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear(BA) 21 so that I return safely(BB) to my father’s household,(BC) then the Lord[f] will be my God(BD) 22 and[g] this stone that I have set up as a pillar(BE) will be God’s house,(BF) and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.(BG)
