Genesis 31

1 Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”

Yaƙub ya ji cewa’ya’ya Laban mazan suna cewa, “Yaƙub ya kwashe dukan abin da mahaifinmu yake da shi, ya kuma sami dukan wannan arziki daga abin da yake na mahaifinmu.”

2 And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.

Yaƙub kuma ya lura cewa halin Laban gare shi ya canja ba kamar yadda yake a dā ba.

3 Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”

Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Koma ƙasar kakanninka da kuma danginka, zan kuwa kasance tare da kai.”

4 So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,

Saboda haka Yaƙub ya aika a ce wa Rahila da Liyatu su zo jeji inda garkunan suke.

5 and he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.

Sai ya ce musu, “Na ga cewa halin mahaifinku gare ni ba kamar yadda dā yake ba, amma Allah na mahaifina yana tare da ni.

6 You know that I have served your father with all my strength.

Kun san cewa na yi aiki wa mahaifinku da dukan ƙarfina,

7 And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.

duk da haka mahaifinku ya cuce ni ta wurin sauya albashina sau goma. Amma dai, Allah bai yardar masa yă yi mini lahani ba.

8 If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.

In ya ce, ‘Dabbare-dabbare ne za su zama ladanka,’ sai dukan garkunan su haifi dabbare-dabbare, in kuma ya ce, ‘Masu zāne-zāne ne za su zama ladanka,’ sai dukan garkunan su haifi ƙananan masu zāne-zāne.

9 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.

Ta haka Allah ya kwashe dabbobin mahaifinku ya ba ni.

10 When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.

“A lokacin ɗaukar cikin garken, na taɓa yin mafarki inda na ga bunsuran da suke barbara da garken, masu dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare, ko masu zāne-zāne ne.

11 In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’

Sai mala’ikan Allah ya ce mini a mafarkin, ‘Yaƙub.’ Sai na amsa na ce, ‘Ga ni.’

12 ‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.

Ya ce, ‘Ɗaga idanunka ka gani, dukan bunsuran da suke hawan garken, masu dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare, ko masu zāne-zāne ne, gama na ga dukan abin da Laban yake yin maka.

13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”

Ni ne Allah na Betel, inda ka zuba wa al’amudi mai, da kuma inda ka yi mini alkawari. Yanzu ka bar wannan ƙasa nan take, ka koma ƙasarka ta ainihi.’”

14 And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?

Sai Rahila da Liyatu suka amsa suka ce, “Muna da wani rabo a gādon kayan mahaifinmu ne?

15 Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.

Ba kamar baƙi ne yake ɗaukarmu ba? Ba sayar da mu kaɗai ya yi ba, har ma ya yi amfani da abin da aka biya saboda mu.

16 Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”

Tabbatacce dukan dukiyar da Allah ya kwashe daga mahaifinmu ya zama namu da’ya’yanmu. Saboda haka ka yi duk abin da Allah ya faɗa maka.”

17 Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,

Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sa’ya’yansa da matansa a kan raƙuma,

18 and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.

ya kuma kora dukan dabbobinsa, suka ja gabansa, tare da dukan abubuwan da ya samu a Faddan Aram, don su tafi wurin mahaifinsa Ishaku a ƙasar Kan’ana.

19 Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.

Sa’ad da Laban ya tafi don askin tumakinsa, sai Rahila ta sace gumakan gidan mahaifinta.

20 Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.

Yaƙub kuwa ya ruɗe Laban mutumin Aram da bai sanar da shi zai gudu ba.

21 So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.

Saboda haka ya gudu da dukan abin da ya mallaka, ya ƙetare Kogi, ya nufi yankin tuddan Gileyad.

22 On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.

A rana ta uku, sai aka faɗa wa Laban cewa Yaƙub ya gudu.

23 So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.

Sai Laban ya ɗauki danginsa tare da shi, ya bi bayan Yaƙub har kwana bakwai, ya kuma same shi a yankin tuddan Gileyad.

24 But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”

Sai Allah ya bayyana ga Laban mutumin Aram a mafarki da dare, ya ce masa, “Ka yi hankali kada ka faɗa wa Yaƙub wani abu, ko mai kyau ko marar kyau.”

25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.

Yaƙub ya riga ya kafa tentinsa a yankin tuddan Gileyad sa’ad da Laban ya same shi. Laban da danginsa suka kafa sansani a can su ma.

26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!

Sai Laban ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Me ke nan ka yi? Ka ruɗe ni, ka kuma ɗauki’ya’yana mata kamar kamammun yaƙi.

27 Why did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.

Me ya sa ka gudu a ɓoye ka kuma ruɗe ni? Me ya sa ba ka faɗa mini don in sallame ka da farin ciki da waƙoƙi haɗe da kiɗin ganguna da garayu ba?

28 But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.

Ba ka ma bari in sumbaci jikokina da’ya’yana mata in yi musu bankwana ba. Ka yi wauta.

29 I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’

Ina da iko in cuce ka; amma jiya da dare Allahn mahaifinka ya faɗa mini, ‘Ka yi hankali kada ka faɗa wa Yaƙub wani abu ko mai kyau ko marar kyau.’

30 Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”

Yanzu ka gudu domin kana marmari komawa gidan mahaifinka. Amma don me ka sace mini gumakana?”

31 “I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.

Yaƙub ya amsa wa Laban, “Na ji tsoro ne, domin na yi tsammani za ka ƙwace’ya’yanka mata daga gare ni ƙarfi da yaji.

32 If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

Amma in ka sami wani wanda yake da gumakanka, ba zai rayu ba. Kai da kanka ka duba a gaban danginmu, ko akwai wani abin da yake naka a nan tare da ni; in ka gani, ka ɗauka.” Yaƙub dai bai san cewa Rahila ta sace gumakan ba.

33 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.

Saboda haka Laban ya shiga tentin Yaƙub, ya shiga tentin Liyatu da kuma tentuna matan nan biyu bayi, amma bai sami kome ba. Bayan ya fita daga tentin Liyatu, sai ya shiga tentin Rahila.

34 Now Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.

Rahila fa ta kwashe gumakan gidan ta sa su cikin sirdin raƙumi, ta kuma zauna a kansu. Laban ya bincika cikin kowane abu a tentin amma bai sami kome ba.

35 Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.

Sai Rahila ta ce wa mahaifinta, “Kada ka yi fushi, ranka yă daɗe da ban tashi tsaye a gabanka ba; gama ina al’adar mata ne.” Saboda haka ya bincika amma bai sami gumakan gidan ba.

36 Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?

Yaƙub ya fusata, ya kuma yi wa Laban faɗa. Ya tambayi Laban, “Mene ne laifina? Wanda zunubi na yi da kake farautata?

37 You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.

Yanzu da ka bincika dukan kayayyakina, me ka samu da yake na gidanka? Kawo shi nan a gaban danginka da kuma dangina, bari su zama alƙali tsakaninmu biyu.

38 I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.

“Na kasance tare da kai shekaru ashirin. Tumakinka da awakinka ba su yi ɓarin ciki ba, ban kuwa ci raguna daga garkunanka ba.

39 I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.

Ban kawo dabbobinka da namun jeji suka yayyaga; na kuma ɗauki hasarar ba? Ka nemi in biya dukan abin da aka sace da rana ko da dare.

40 As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.

Yanayin da na kasance ke nan, da rana na sha zafin rana da dare kuma na sha sanyi, ga rashin barci.

41 Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!

Haka ya kasance shekaru ashirin da na yi a gidanka. Na yi maka aiki shekaru goma sha huɗu domin’ya’yanka mata biyu, na kuma yi shekaru shida domin garkunanka, ka kuma canja albashina sau goma.

42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”

Da ba don Allah na mahaifina, Allah na Ibrahim da kuma Tsoron Ishaku ya kasance tare da ni ba, tabbatacce da ka sallame ni hannu wofi. Amma Allah ya ga wahalata da famar hannuwana, ya kuwa tsawata maka da dare jiya.”

43 But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?

Laban ya amsa wa Yaƙub, “Matan,’ya’yana ne,’ya’yansu,’ya’yana ne, garkunan kuma garkunana ne. Dukan abin da kake gani, nawa ne. Duk da haka me zan yi a rana ta yau ga waɗannan’ya’yana mata, ko kuma ga’ya’yan da suka haifa?

44 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”

Zo, bari mu ƙulla yarjejjeniya, da kai da ni, bari kuma ta kasance shaida a tsakaninmu.”

45 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,

Saboda haka Yaƙub ya ɗauki dutse ya kafa yă zama al’amudi.

46 and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.

Ya ce wa danginsa. “Ku tattara waɗansu duwatsu.” Sai suka kwashe duwatsu suka tsiba, suka kuwa ci abinci a can kusa da tsibin.

47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.

Laban ya sa masa suna Yegar Sahaduta, Yaƙub kuwa ya kira shi Galeyed.

48 Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.

Laban ya ce, “Wannan tsibi, shi ne shaida tsakaninka da ni a yau.” Shi ya sa aka kira shi Galeyed.

49 It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.

Aka kuma kira shi Mizfa, domin ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sa ido tsakanin ni da kai sa’ad da muka rabu da juna.

50 If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”

Laban ya ce in ka wulaƙanta’ya’yana mata, ko ka auri waɗansu mata ban da’ya’yana mata, ko da yake babu wani da yake tare da mu, ka tuna cewa Allah shi ne shaida tsakaninka da ni.”

51 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.

Laban ya kuma ce wa Yaƙub, “Ga wannan tsibi, ga kuma wannan al’amudin da na kafa tsakaninka da ni.

52 This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.

Wannan tsibin shi ne shaida, wannan al’amudi kuma shaida ne, cewa ba zan tsallake wannan tsibi zuwa gefenka don in cuce ka ba, kai kuma ba za ka tsallake wannan tsibi da al’amudi zuwa gefena don ka cuce ni ba.

53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

Bari Allah na Ibrahim da Allah na Nahor, Allah na iyayensu, yă zama alƙali tsakaninmu.” Saboda haka Yaƙub ya yi rantsuwa da sunan Tsoron mahaifinsa Ishaku.

54 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain.

Ya miƙa hadaya a can a ƙasar tudu, ya kuma gayyaci danginsa zuwa wurin cin abinci. Bayan suka ci, sai suka kwana a can.

55 Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.

Da sassafe kashegari sai Laban ya sumbaci jikokinsa da’ya’yansa mata, ya sa musu albarka. Sa’an nan ya yi bankwana da su, ya koma gida.
