Zvino Isaka wakadana Jakobho, akamuropafadza, akamuraira, akati kwaari, Usawana mukadzi kuvakunda veKenani.And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Simuka uende Padhanaramu, kuimba yaBhetueri, baba vamai vako, uzviwanire ikoko mukadzi kuvakunda vaRabhani, hanzvadzi yamai vako.Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
Mwari Wamasimbaose ngaakuropafadze, akuberekese vana, akuwanze, kuti uve ndudzi zhinji dzavanhu;And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
akupe kuropafadzwa kwaAbhurahamu, iwe, navana vako pamwechete newe; kuti ugare nhaka yenyika maugere uri mutorwa, iyo yakapiwa Abhurahamu naMwari.And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
Isaka akati Jakobho aende, akaenda Padhanaramu, kuna Rabhani, mwanakomana waBhetueri, muAramu, hanzvadzi yaRabheka, mai vaJakobho naEsau.And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Zvino Esau wakaona kuti Isaka wakanga aropafadza Jakobho, akati aende Padhanaramu, kuti azviwanire ikoko mukadzi; uyewo kuti pakumuropafadza kwake akamuraira, achiti, Usawana mukadzi kuvakunda veKenani ;When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
uyezve, kuti Jakobho akateerera baba vake namai vake, akaenda Padhanaramu.And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
Esau akaona kuti vakunda veKenani havana kufadza Isaka baba vake;And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Esau akaenda kuna Ishimaeri, akawedzera kuvakadzi vake, vaakanga anavo, Maharati mukunda walshimaeri, mwanakomana waAbhurahamu, hanzvadzi yaNebhayoti, kuti ave mukadzi wake.Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
Zvino Jakobho akabuda paBheerishebha, akaenda Harani,And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
akasvika pane imwe nzvimbo, akavatapo usiku, nokuti zuva rakanga ravira; akatora rimwe ibwe ipapo, akaritsamira, akavata pasi ipapo.And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Akarota, akaona danhu rakanga ramiswa panyika, musoro waro wakasvika kudenga; akaona vatumwa vaMwari vachikwira nokuburuka naro.And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Akaona Jehovha amire naye, akati, Ndini Jehovha, Mwari waAbhurahamu baba vako, naMwari waIsaka; nyika yauvete pamusoro payo ndichakupa iyoyo, iwe navana vako;And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
vana vako vachaita seguruva renyika; uchapararira kumavirazuva, nokumabvazuva, nokumusoro, nenyasi; ndudzi dzose dzenyika dzicharopafadzwa mauri nomuvana vako.And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Tarira, ndinewe, ndichakuchengeta kwose kwaunoenda, nokukudzosera kunyika ino; nokuti handingakusiyi kusvikira ndaita izvozvo zvandakakuudza.And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Ipapo Jakobho akapepuka pahope dzake, akati, Zvirokwazvo Jehovha ari panzvimbo ino, asi ini handina kuzviziva.And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Akatya akati, Nzvimbo ino inotyisa seiko! Iyi imba chaiyo yaMwari, isuo rokudenga.And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Jakobho akamuka mangwanani, akatora ibwe raakanga akatsamira, akarimisa kuti rive shongwe, akadira mafuta pamusoro paro;And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
akatumidza nzvimbo iyoyo zita rinonzi Bheteri, asi zita reguta pakutanga rainzi Ruzi.And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Ipapo Jakobho akapika mhiko achiti, Kana Mwari akava neni, akandichengeta panzira yandinoenda, akandipa zvokudya, ndidye, nezvokufuka, ndifuke;And Jacob 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 raiment to put on,
ndikadzokerazve norugare kuimba yababa vangu, Jehovha achava Mwari wangu;So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
neiri ibwe, randakamisa rikava shongwe, richava imba yaMwari; nezvinhu zvose zvamuchandipa, zvirokwazvo ndichakupai chegumi chazvo.And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
