< Genesis 30 >

1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
Sa’ad da Rahila ta ga cewa ba tă haifa wa Yaƙub’ya’ya ba, sai ta fara kishin’yar’uwarta. Saboda haka ta ce wa Yaƙub, “Ka ba ni’ya’ya, ko kuwa in mutu!”
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
Yaƙub ya fusata da ita ya ce, “Ina a matsayin Allah ne wanda ya hana ke samun’ya’ya?”
3 Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
Sa’an nan ta ce, “Ga Bilha, mai baiwata, ka kwana da ita don tă haifa mini’ya’ya, ta gare ta kuwa ni ma in gina iyali.”
4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
Saboda haka ta ba shi baranyarta Bilha tă zama matarsa. Yaƙub kuwa ya kwana da ita,
5 and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
ta kuwa yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
Sa’an nan Rahila ta ce, “Allah ya baratar da ni; ya saurari roƙona ya kuma ba ni ɗa.” Saboda wannan ta ba shi suna Dan.
7 And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
Baranyar Rahila ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifi wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.
8 Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
Sai Rahila ta ce, “Na yi kokawa sosai da’yar’uwata, na kuwa yi nasara.” Saboda haka ta kira shi Naftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
Sa’ad da Liyatu ta ga cewa ta daina haihuwa, sai ta ɗauki mai hidimarta Zilfa ta ba da ita ga Yaƙub tă zama matarsa.
10 And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
Baranyar Liyatu, Zilfa ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa.
11 Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Na yi sa’a!” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Gad.
12 When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
Zilfa baranyar Liyatu ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.
13 Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Ni mai farin ciki ce! Mata za su ce da ni mai farin ciki.” Saboda haka ta sa masa suna Asher.
14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
A lokacin girbin alkama, sai Ruben ya je jeji ya ɗebo manta-uwa ya kawo wa mahaifiyarsa Liyatu. Sai Rahila ta ce wa Liyatu, “Ina roƙonki ki ɗan sam mini manta-uwa ɗanki.”
15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
Amma ta ce mata, “Bai ishe ki ba ne da kika ƙwace mijina? Yanzu kuma kina so ki ƙwace manta-uwa na yarona?” Sai Rahila ta ce “Shi ke nan, mijina zai iya kwana da ke yau saboda manta-uwa na ɗanki.”
16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
Saboda haka sa’ad da Yaƙub ya dawo daga jeji a wannan yamma sai Liyatu ta fito ta tarye shi. Ta ce, “Dole ka kwana da ni, na yi hayarka da manta-uwa na ɗana.” Saboda haka ya kwana da ita a wannan dare.
17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Allah ya saurari Liyatu, ta kuwa yi ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyar.
18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Allah ya sāka mini saboda na ba da mai hidimata ga mijina.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Issakar.
19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Liyatu ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na shida.
20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Allah ya ba ni kyauta mai daraja. A wannan lokaci mijina zai darajarta ni, domin na haifa masa’ya’ya maza shida.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Zebulun.
21 After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
Daga baya ta haifi’ya ta kuwa ba ta suna Dina.
22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
Sai Allah ya tuna da Rahila; ya saurare ta ya kuma buɗe mahaifarta.
23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
Sai ta yi ciki ta kuma haifi ɗa ta ce, “Allah ya ɗauke mini kunyata.”
24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
Ta ba shi suna Yusuf, ta kuma ce, “Bari Ubangiji yă ƙara mini wani ɗa.”
25 Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
Bayan Rahila ta haifi Yusuf, sai Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ka sallame ni don in koma ƙasata.
26 Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
Ba ni matana da’ya’yana, waɗanda na bauta maka dominsu, zan kuwa tafi. Ka dai san yadda na bauta maka.”
27 But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
Amma Laban ya ce masa, “In na sami tagomashi daga gare ka, ina roƙonka ka zauna. Na gane ta wurin duba cewaUbangiji ya albarkace ni saboda kai.”
28 And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Ya ƙara da cewa, “Faɗa albashinka, zan kuwa biya shi.”
29 Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
Yaƙub ya ce masa, “Ka dai san yadda na yi maka aiki da kuma yadda dabbobinka suka yi yawa a hannuna.
30 Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
Kaɗan da kake da shi kafin zuwata ya ƙaru sosai, kuma Ubangiji ya albarkace ka a duk inda na tafi. Amma yanzu, yaushe zan yi wani abu domin gidana ni ma?”
31 “What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
Sai Laban ya yi tambaya, “Me zan ba ka?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Kada ka ba ni wani abu. Amma in za ka yi mini abu guda ɗaya, zan ci gaba da kiwon garkunanka, ina kuma lura da su.
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
Bari in ratsa cikin dukan garkunanka yau in fid da masu dabbare-dabbare da tumaki babare-babare, da kowane ɗan rago baƙi, da dabbare-dabbare da babare-babare na awaki daga ciki, waɗannan ne za su zama ladana.
33 So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
Gaskiyata kuwa za tă zama mini shaida nan gaba, duk sa’ad da ka bincika a kan albashin da ka biya ni. Duk akuyar da take tawa da ba dabbare-dabbare ko babare-babare, ko ɗan ragon da ba baƙi ba, zai kasance sata na yi.”
34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
Sai Laban ya ce, “Na yarda. Bari yă zama yadda ka faɗa.”
35 That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
A wannan rana ya ware dukan bunsurai da suke dabbare-dabbare da masu zāne-zāne, da dukan awakin da suke dabbare-dabbare (duka da suke da fari-fari a jikinsu), da dukan baƙaƙen tumaki, ya sa su a hannun’ya’yansa maza.
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Sa’an nan ya sa nisan tafiya kwana uku tsakaninsa da Yaƙub, yayinda Yaƙub ya ci gaba da lura da sauran garkunan Laban Yaƙub.
37 Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
Yaƙub ya samo ɗanyen reshen itatuwan aduruku, da na katambiri, da na durumi, ya ɓare ya bar fararen cikin katakon rassan.
38 Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
Sa’an nan ya zuba ɓararre rassan cikin dukan kwamame na banruwa saboda su kasance a gaban garkunan sa’ad da suka zo shan ruwa. A sa’ad da garkunan suke barbara suka kuma zo shan ruwa,
39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
sai su yi barbara a gaban rassan. Sai kuwa su haifi ƙanana masu zāne dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare ko masu zāne-zāne.
40 Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
Sai Yaƙub yă ware ƙananan garken dabam, amma sai yă sa sauran su fuskanci dabbobin da suke dabbare-dabbare da kuma baƙaƙe da suke na Laban. Ta haka ya ware garkuna dabam domin kansa bai kuwa haɗa su da dabbobin Laban ba.
41 Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
A duk sa’ad da ƙarfafa dabbobi mata suke barbara, Yaƙub yakan zuba rassan a kwamame a gaban dabbobin saboda su yi barbara kusa da rassan,
42 But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
amma in dabbobin raunana ne, ba ya sa su a can. Saboda haka raunanan dabbobi suka zama na Laban, ƙarfafan kuma suka zama na Yaƙub.
43 Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Ta haka mutumin ya zama riƙaƙƙe mai arziki, ya kasance mai manya-manyan garkuna, da bayi mata da maza, da raƙuma da kuma jakuna.
