Genesis 28
English Standard Version
Jacob Sent to Laban
28 Then Isaac called Jacob (A)and blessed him and directed him, (B)“You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women. 2 (C)Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of (D)Bethuel your mother's father, and take as your wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 3 (E)God Almighty[a] bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. 4 May he give (F)the blessing of Abraham to you and to your offspring with you, that you may take possession of (G)the land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham!” 5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Esau Marries an Ishmaelite
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women,” 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram. 8 So when Esau saw (H)that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father, 9 Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, (I)Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of (J)Nebaioth.
Jacob's Dream
10 Jacob left (K)Beersheba and went toward (L)Haran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he (M)dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder[b] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, (N)the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, (O)the Lord stood above it[c] and said, (P)“I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. (Q)The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like (R)the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and (S)your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, (T)I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and (U)will bring you back to this land. For I will (V)not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is (W)in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up (X)for a pillar (Y)and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place (Z)Bethel,[d] but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20 Then Jacob (AA)made 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 wear, 21 (AB)so that I come again to my father's house in peace, (AC)then the Lord shall be my God, 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, (AD)shall be God's house. And (AE)of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
28 Kaya ipinatawag ni Isaac si Jacob. Pagdating niya, binasbasan niya ito at inutusan, “Huwag kang mag-aasawa ng taga-Canaan. 2 Maghanda ka at pumunta sa Padan Aram,[a] doon sa lolo mong si Betuel na ama ng iyong ina. Doon ka pumili ng iyong mapapangasawa sa isa sa mga dalagang anak ni Laban na kapatid ng iyong ina. 3 Nawaʼy pagpalain ka ng Makapangyarihang Dios at bigyan ka ng maraming anak para maging ama ka ng maraming grupo ng tao. 4 Nawaʼy ibigay din sa iyo at sa mga lahi mo ang pagpapalang ibinigay niya kay Abraham, para maging iyo ang lupaing ito na iyong tinitirhan ngayon bilang isang dayuhan. Ang lupaing ito ay ibinigay nga ng Dios kay Abraham.” 5 Agad na pinapunta ni Isaac si Jacob sa Padan Aram, sa lugar ni Laban na anak ni Betuel na Arameo. Si Laban ay kapatid ni Rebeka na ina nina Jacob at Esau.
Muling nag-asawa si Esau
6 Nalaman ni Esau na binasbasan ni Isaac si Jacob at pinapunta sa Padan Aram para roon maghanap ng mapapangasawa. Nalaman din niya na binasbasan ni Isaac si Jacob, inutusan niya ito na huwag mag-asawa ng taga-Canaan. 7 At nalaman din niyang sumunod si Jacob sa magulang nila at pumunta sa Padan Aram. 8 Dito napansin ni Esau na ayaw ng kanyang ama ang mga babaeng taga-Canaan. 9 Kaya pumunta siya sa tiyuhin niyang si Ishmael na anak ni Abraham kay Hagar at napangasawa si Mahalat na kapatid ni Nebayot at anak ni Ishmael, bukod pa sa dalawang naging asawa niya.
Nanaginip si Jacob sa Betel
10 Umalis si Jacob sa Beersheba at lumakad papuntang Haran. 11 Nang lumubog na ang araw, nakarating siya sa isang lugar at doon nanatili nang gabing iyon. Kumuha siya ng isang bato at ginawa niyang unan sa pagtulog niya. 12 Ngayon, nanaginip siya na may isang hagdan na nakatayo sa lupa na abot hanggang langit. Nakita niya ang mga anghel ng Dios na umaakyat at bumababa sa hagdan. 13 Nakita rin niya ang Panginoon na nakatayo sa itaas ng hagdan[b] at sinabi sa kanya, “Ako ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Abraham at ni Isaac. Ibibigay ko sa iyo at sa mga lahi mo ang lupaing ito na iyong hinihigaan. 14 Ang mga lahi mo ay magiging kasindami ng alikabok sa lupa. Mangangalat sila sa ibaʼt ibang bahagi ng lupa. Sa pamamagitan mo at ng mga lahi mo, pagpapalain ko ang lahat ng tao sa mundo. 15 Alalahanin mo palagi na kasama mo ako at iingatan kita kahit saan ka pumunta. Pababalikin kita sa lupaing ito at hindi kita pababayaan hanggang sa matupad ko ang aking ipinangako sa iyo.”
16 Biglang nagising si Jacob at sinabi niya sa kanyang sarili, “Hindi ko alam na nandito pala ang Panginoon sa lugar na ito.” 17 Kinabahan siya at sinabi, “Nakakamangha ang lugar na ito! Tirahan ito ng Dios at dito mismo ang pintuan papuntang langit.”
18 Maagang bumangon si Jacob. Kinuha niya ang batong inunan niya noong gabi at itinayo bilang isang alaala. Pagkatapos, binuhusan niya ito ng langis para maging banal. 19 Pinangalanan ni Jacob ang lugar na iyon na Betel.[c] Dati ay Luz ang pangalan ng lugar na iyon.
20 Sumumpa agad si Jacob na nagsabi, “Panginoon, kung sasamahan po ninyo ako at bibigyan po ng pagkain at damit, 21 at kung makakabalik po akong muli sa bahay ng aking ama na walang masamang nangyari sa akin, kikilalanin ko po kayong aking Dios. 22 Ang bato pong ito na itinayo ko bilang isang alaala ay magpapatunay ng inyong presensya sa lugar[d] na ito. At ibibigay ko po sa inyo ang ikasampung bahagi ng lahat ng ibibigay nʼyo sa akin.”
Genesis 28
King James Version
28 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.
2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4 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.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, 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 daughers of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 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.
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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;
14 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.
15 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.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 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.
18 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.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 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,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
22 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.
