Genesis 28
Beibl William Morgan

28 Yna y galwodd Isaac ar Jacob, ac a’i bendithiodd ef: efe a orchmynnodd iddo hefyd, ac a ddywedodd wrtho, Na chymer wraig o ferched Canaan. 2 Cyfod, dos i Mesopotamia, i dŷ Bethuel tad dy fam; a chymer i ti wraig oddi yno, o ferched Laban brawd dy fam: 3 A Duw Hollalluog a’th fendithio, ac a’th ffrwythlono, ac a’th luosogo, fel y byddech yn gynulleidfa pobloedd: 4 Ac a roddo i ti fendith Abraham, i ti ac i’th had gyda thi, i etifeddu ohonot dir dy ymdaith, yr hwn a roddodd Duw i Abraham. 5 Felly Isaac a anfonodd ymaith Jacob: ac efe a aeth i Mesopotamia, at Laban fab Bethuel y Syriad, brawd Rebeca, mam Jacob ac Esau.

6 Pan welodd Esau fendithio o Isaac Jacob, a’i anfon ef i Mesopotamia, i gymryd iddo wraig oddi yno, a gorchymyn iddo wrth ei fendithio, gan ddywedyd, Na chymer wraig o ferched Canaan; 7 A gwrando o Jacob ar ei dad, ac ar ei fam, a’i fyned i Mesopotamia; 8 Ac Esau yn gweled mai drwg oedd merched Canaan yng ngolwg Isaac ei dad; 9 Yna Esau a aeth at Ismael, ac a gymerodd Mahalath merch Ismael mab Abraham, chwaer Nebaioth, yn wraig iddo, at ei wragedd eraill.

10 A Jacob a aeth allan o Beer‐seba, ac a aeth tua Haran. 11 Ac a ddaeth ar ddamwain i fangre, ac a letyodd yno dros nos; oblegid machludo’r haul: ac efe a gymerth o gerrig y lle hwnnw, ac a osododd dan ei ben, ac a gysgodd yn y fan honno. 12 Ac efe a freuddwydiodd; ac wele ysgol yn sefyll ar y ddaear, a’i phen yn cyrhaeddyd i’r nefoedd: ac wele angylion Duw yn dringo ac yn disgyn ar hyd‐ddi. 13 Ac wele yr Arglwydd yn sefyll arni: ac efe a ddywedodd, Myfi yw Arglwydd Dduw Abraham dy dad, a Duw Isaac; y tir yr wyt ti yn gorwedd arno, i ti y rhoddaf ef, ac i’th had. 14 A’th had di fydd fel llwch y ddaear; a thi a dorri allan i’r gorllewin, ac i’r dwyrain, ac i’r gogledd, ac i’r deau: a holl deuluoedd y ddaear a fendithir ynot ti, ac yn dy had di. 15 Ac wele fi gyda thi; ac mi a’th gadwaf pa le bynnag yr elych, ac a’th ddygaf drachefn i’r wlad hon: oherwydd ni’th adawaf, hyd oni wnelwyf yr hyn a leferais wrthyt.

16 A Jacob a ddeffrôdd o’i gwsg; ac a ddywedodd, Diau fod yr Arglwydd yn y lle hwn, ac nis gwyddwn i. 17 Ac efe a ofnodd, ac a ddywedodd, Mor ofnadwy yw’r lle hwn! nid oes yma onid tŷ i Dduw, a dyma borth y nefoedd. 18 A Jacob a gyfododd yn fore, ac a gymerth y garreg a osodasai efe dan ei ben, ac efe a’i gosododd hi yn golofn, ac a dywalltodd olew ar ei phen hi. 19 Ac efe a alwodd enw y lle hwnnw, Bethel: ond Lus fuasai enw y ddinas o’r cyntaf. 20 Yna yr addunodd Jacob adduned, gan ddywedyd, Os Duw fydd gyda myfi, ac a’m ceidw yn y ffordd yma, yr hon yr ydwyf yn ei cherdded, a rhoddi i mi fara i’w fwyta, a dillad i’w gwisgo, 21 A dychwelyd ohonof mewn heddwch i dŷ fy nhad; yna y bydd yr Arglwydd yn Dduw i mi. 22 A’r garreg yma, yr hon a osodais yn golofn, a fydd yn dŷ Dduw; ac o’r hyn oll a roddech i mi, gan ddegymu mi a’i degymaf i ti.

Genesis 28
New International Version

28 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed(A) him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman.(B) 2 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) 3 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. 4 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.” 5 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.

6 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) 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. 8 Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women(R) were to his father Isaac;(S) 9 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)”
