Genesis 29
1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa har ya kai ƙasar mutanen gabashi.
2 And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.
A can ya ga rijiya a jeji da garkuna uku na tumaki kwance kusa da ita, gama a wannan rijiya ce ake shayar da garkuna. Dutsen da ake rufe bakin rijiyar mai girma ne.
3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.
Sa’ad da dukan garkuna suka taru a can, sai makiyayan su gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar su shayar da tumaki. Sa’an nan su mai da dutsen a wurinsa a bakin rijiya.
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
Yaƙub ya tambayi makiyayan ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Mu daga Haran ne.”
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
Sai ya ce musu, “Kun san Laban, jikan Nahor?” Suka amsa, “I, mun san shi.”
6 Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya tambaye su, “Yana nan lafiya?” Suka ce, “I, yana lafiya, ga ma’yarsa Rahila tafe da tumaki.”
7 Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
Ya ce, “Duba har yanzu da sauran rana da yawa, lokaci bai kai na tara garkuna ba. Ku shayar da tumaki ku mai da su wurin kiwo.”
8 But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.
Suka amsa suka ce, “Ba za mu iya ba, sai dukan garkunan sun taru, aka kuma gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar. Sa’an nan za mu shayar da tumakin.”
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
Tun yana cikin magana da su, sai ga Rahila ta zo da tumakin mahaifinta, gama ita makiyayyiya ce.
10 And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya ga Rahila’yar Laban, ɗan’uwan mahaifiyarsa, da tumakin Laban, sai ya tafi ya gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar, ya kuma shayar da tumakin kawunsa.
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sumbaci Rahila, ya kuma ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
Ya riga ya faɗa wa Rahila cewa shi dangin mahaifinta ne kuma ɗan Rebeka. Saboda haka ta ruga da gudu ta faɗa wa mahaifinta.
13 And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things.
Nan da nan, da Laban ya sami labari game da Yaƙub, ɗan’yar’uwarsa, ya gaggauta yă sadu da shi. Sai ya rungume shi ya sumbace shi, ya kuma kawo shi gidansa, a can kuwa Yaƙub ya faɗa masa dukan waɗannan abubuwa.
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Sa’an nan Laban ya ce masa, “Kai nama da jinina ne.” Bayan Yaƙub ya zauna da shi na wata guda cif,
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
sai Laban ya ce masa, “Don kawai kai dangina ne na kusa, sai kawai ka yi mini aiki a banza? Faɗa mini abin da albashinka zai zama.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
Laban dai yana da’ya’ya mata biyu; sunan babbar Liyatu, sunan ƙaramar kuwa Rahila.
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
Liyatu tana da raunannun idanu, amma Rahila dai tsarinta yana da kyau kuma kyakkyawa ce.
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
Yaƙub ya ƙaunaci Rahila, sai ya ce, “Zan yi maka aiki na shekaru bakwai domin ƙaramar’yarka Rahila.”
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
Laban ya ce, “Ya fi kyau in ba ka ita, da in ba wani mutum dabam. Zauna tare da ni.”
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
Saboda haka Yaƙub ya yi bauta shekaru bakwai domin a ba shi Rahila, amma shekarun suka zama kamar’yan kwanaki ne kawai gare shi saboda ƙaunar da yake mata.
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ba ni matata. Lokacina ya cika, ina kuma so in kwana da ita.”
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Saboda haka Laban ya tara dukan mutanen wurin, ya yi biki.
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
Amma da yamma ta yi, sai ya ɗauki’yarsa Liyatu ya ba da ita ga Yaƙub, sai Yaƙub ya kwana da ita.
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
Laban kuma ya ba da baranyarsa Zilfa wa’yarsa tă zama mai hidimarta.
25 But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me?
Sa’ad da safiya ta yi, sai ga Liyatu! Saboda haka Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Mene ne ke nan ka yi mini? Na yi maka bauta domin Rahila, ba haka na yi ba? Don me ka ruɗe ni?”
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
Laban ya amsa, “Ba al’adarmu ba ce a nan a ba da’ya ƙarama aure kafin’yar fari.
27 Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more.
Ka gama makon amaryanci na’yar nan; sa’an nan za mu ba ka ƙaramar ita ma, don ƙarin waɗansu shekaru bakwai na aiki.”
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
Haka kuwa Yaƙub ya yi. Ya gama mako guda da Liyatu, sa’an nan Laban ya ba shi’yarsa Rahila tă zama matarsa.
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
Laban ya ba da baranyarsa Bilha wa’yarsa Rahila ta zama mai hidimarta.
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
Yaƙub ya kwana da Rahila ita ma, ya kuwa ƙaunaci Rahila fiye da Liyatu. Ya kuma yi wa Laban aiki na ƙarin waɗansu shekaru bakwai.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga ba a ƙaunar Liyatu, sai ya buɗe mahaifarta, amma Rahila ta zama bakararriya.
32 And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me.
Sai Liyatu ta yi ciki ta haifi ɗa. Ta sa masa suna Ruben, gama ta ce, “Domin Ubangiji ya ga wahalata. Tabbatacce mijina zai ƙaunace ni yanzu.”
33 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
Ta sāke yin ciki, sa’ad da kuma ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “Gama Ubangiji ya ji cewa ba a ƙaunata, ya ba ni wannan shi ma.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Simeyon.
34 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
Har yanzu ta yi ciki, sa’ad da kuma ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “Yanzu, a ƙarshe mijina zai manne mini, gama na haifa masa’ya’ya maza uku.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Lawi.
35 Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
Ta sāke yin ciki, sa’ad da ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “A wannan lokaci zan yabi Ubangiji.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Yahuda. Sa’an nan ta daina haihuwa.
