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

¹Kemudian Ishak memanggil Yakub, lalu memberkati dia serta berkata, "Janganlah engkau kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.

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.

²Pergilah ke Mesopotamia, kepada keluarga Betuel, kakekmu, dan kawinlah dengan salah seorang anak pamanmu Laban.

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

³Semoga Allah Yang Mahakuasa memberkati perkawinanmu dan memberikan kepadamu anak cucu yang banyak, sehingga engkau menjadi leluhur banyak bangsa!

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.”

⁴Semoga TUHAN memberkati engkau dan keturunanmu sebagaimana telah diberkatinya Abraham, dan semoga engkau memiliki tanah yang kaudiami ini, yang telah diberikan Allah kepada Abraham!"

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.

⁵Demikianlah Ishak melepas Yakub pergi ke Mesopotamia, kepada Laban, anak Betuel orang Aram itu. Laban adalah abang Ribka ibu Yakub dan Esau.

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,”

⁶Esau mendengar bahwa Ishak telah memberkati Yakub dan melepas dia pergi ke Mesopotamia untuk mencari istri di situ. Juga bahwa pada waktu Ishak memberkati Yakub, ia melarang Yakub kawin dengan gadis Kanaan.

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

⁷Selain itu Esau tahu bahwa Yakub mentaati perkataan ayah ibunya dan telah berangkat ke Mesopotamia.

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

⁸Maka mengertilah Esau bahwa Ishak, ayahnya, tidak suka pada perempuan Kanaan,

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.

⁹sebab itu pergilah Esau kepada Ismael, anak Abraham, dan kawin dengan anak Ismael yang bernama Mahalat, adik Nebayot.

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

¹⁰Yakub meninggalkan Bersyeba dan berangkat ke Haran.

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.

¹¹Pada waktu matahari terbenam ia sampai di suatu tempat, lalu bermalam di situ. Ia berbaring hendak tidur; kepalanya berbantalkan sebuah batu.

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.

¹²Kemudian bermimpilah ia bahwa ia melihat sebuah tangga yang berdiri di bumi dan ujungnya mencapai langit dan malaikat-malaikat turun naik di tangga itu.

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.

¹³Dan di sampingnya berdirilah TUHAN dan berkata, "Akulah TUHAN, Allah yang dipuja Abraham dan Ishak. Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu tanah tempat engkau berbaring ini.

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.

¹⁴Keturunanmu akan sebanyak debu di bumi. Mereka akan memperluas wilayah mereka ke segala arah, dan melalui engkau dan keturunanmu, Aku akan memberkati semua bangsa di bumi.

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.”

¹⁵Ingatlah, Aku akan menolong dan melindungimu, ke mana pun engkau pergi, dan Aku akan membawamu kembali ke negeri ini. Aku tak akan meninggalkan engkau sampai telah Kulakukan segala apa yang Kujanjikan kepadamu."

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

¹⁶Lalu Yakub bangun dari tidurnya dan berkata, "TUHAN ada di sini, di tempat ini, tetapi baru sekarang aku mengetahuinya!"

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.”

¹⁷Ia menjadi takut lalu berkata, "Alangkah seramnya tempat ini! Pastilah ini rumah Allah, pintu gerbang surga."

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.

¹⁸Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Yakub bangkit, lalu mengambil batu yang dipakainya sebagai bantal dan menegakkannya menjadi batu peringatan. Dituangkannya minyak zaitun di atas batu itu untuk dikhususkan bagi Allah.

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

¹⁹Tempat itu dinamakannya Betel. (Dahulu namanya Lus).

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,

²⁰Lalu bersumpahlah Yakub, "Jika TUHAN menolong dan melindungi saya pada perjalanan ini serta memberikan kepada saya makanan dan pakaian

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

²¹sehingga saya kembali ke rumah ayah saya dengan selamat, TUHAN akan menjadi Allah saya.

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.”

²²Dan saya akan memberikan kepada TUHAN sepersepuluh dari segala sesuatu yang TUHAN berikan kepada saya. Batu peringatan yang saya tegakkan ini akan menjadi tempat pemujaan bagi TUHAN."
