¹Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

¹Siis Iisak kutsus Jaakobi ja õnnistas teda; ja ta keelas teda ning ütles temale: 'Ära võta naist kaananlaste tütreist!

²Arise, 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.

²Võta kätte, mine Mesopotaamiasse oma emaisa Betueli kotta ja võta sealt enesele naine oma ema venna Laabani tütreist.

³May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,

³Kõigeväeline Jumal õnnistagu sind, tehku sind viljakaks ja paljuks, et sinust tuleks hulk rahvaid!

⁴and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”

⁴Ta andku sulle Aabrahami õnnistust, sinule ja su soole koos sinuga, et sa päriksid maa, kus sa võõrana elad, mille Jumal on andnud Aabrahamile!'

⁵Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, Rebekah’s brother, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

⁵Ja Iisak saatis Jaakobi teele ning see läks Mesopotaamiasse süürlase Betueli poja Laabani juurde, kes oli Jaakobi ja Eesavi ema Rebeka vend.

⁶Now 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,”

⁶Kui Eesav nägi, et Iisak oli õnnistanud Jaakobit ja oli saatnud ta Mesopotaamiasse sealt enesele naist võtma, olles teda õnnistanud ja keelanud, öeldes: 'Ära võta naist kaananlaste tütreist!'

⁷and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.

⁷ja et Jaakob oli kuulanud oma isa ja ema ja oli läinud Mesopotaamiasse,

⁸Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.

⁸siis Eesav mõistis, et kaananlaste tütred olid pahad ta isa Iisaki silmis,

⁹Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

⁹ja Eesav läks Ismaeli juurde ning võttis oma naiste kõrvale enesele naiseks Mahalati, Aabrahami poja Ismaeli tütre, Nebajoti õe.

¹⁰Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

¹⁰Jaakob aga lahkus Beer-Sebast ja läks Haarani poole.

¹¹He 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.

¹¹Ta sattus ühte paika ja ööbis seal, sest päike oli loojunud; ta võttis selle paiga kividest ühe, pani enesele peaaluseks ja heitis sinna paika magama.

¹²He dreamed. Behold, a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

¹²Ja ta nägi und, ja vaata, maa peal seisis redel, mille ots ulatus taevasse, ja ennäe, Jumala inglid astusid sedamööda üles ja alla.

¹³Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.

¹³Ja vaata, Issand seisis tema ees ning ütles: 'Mina olen Issand, su isa Aabrahami Jumal ja Iisaki Jumal. Maa, mille peal sa magad, ma annan sinule ja su soole.

¹⁴Your seed 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 seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹⁴Ja sinu sugu saab maapõrmu sarnaseks ja sa levid õhtu ja hommiku, põhja ja lõuna poole, ja sinu ja su soo nimel õnnistavad endid kõik maailma suguvõsad.

¹⁵Behold, 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.”

¹⁵Ja vaata, mina olen sinuga ja hoian sind kõikjal, kuhu sa lähed, ning toon sind taas sellele pinnale, sest ma ei jäta sind maha, kuni olen teinud, mis ma sulle olen öelnud!'

¹⁶Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”

¹⁶Siis Jaakob ärkas unest ja ütles: 'Issand on tõesti selles paigas, mina aga ei teadnud seda!'

¹⁷He was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”

¹⁷Ja ta kartis ning ütles: 'Küll on see paik kardetav! See pole muud midagi kui Jumala koda ja taeva värav!'

¹⁸Jacob 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.

¹⁸Ja Jaakob tõusis hommikul vara ning võttis kivi, mille ta oli pannud enesele peaaluseks, ja pani selle sambaks püsti ning valas selle otsa peale õli.

¹⁹He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

¹⁹Ja ta pani sellele paigale nimeks Peetel; enne aga oli selle linna nimi Luus.

²⁰Jacob 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,

²⁰Ja Jaakob andis tõotuse, öeldes: 'Kui Jumal on minuga ja hoiab mind teel, mida käin, ja annab mulle leiba süüa ja riided selga,

²¹so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,

²¹ja mina võin rahuga pöörduda oma isakotta, siis on Issand mulle Jumalaks,

²²then 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 the tenth to you.”

²²ja see kivi, mille ma panin sambaks, saab Jumala kojaks. Ja kõigest, mis sa mulle annad, ma annan sulle täpselt kümnist.'
