Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa har ya kai ƙasar mutanen gabashi.
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
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 Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
Yaƙub ya tambayi makiyayan ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Mu daga Haran ne.”
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
Sai ya ce musu, “Kun san Laban, jikan Nahor?” Suka amsa, “I, mun san shi.”
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya tambaye su, “Yana nan lafiya?” Suka ce, “I, yana lafiya, ga ma’yarsa Rahila tafe da tumaki.”
7 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed 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 And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
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 was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
Tun yana cikin magana da su, sai ga Rahila ta zo da tumakin mahaifinta, gama ita makiyayyiya ce.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's 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 Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sumbaci Rahila, ya kuma ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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 it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
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 And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
Sa’an nan Laban ya ce masa, “Kai nama da jinina ne.” Bayan Yaƙub ya zauna da shi na wata guda cif,
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
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 name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Laban dai yana da’ya’ya mata biyu; sunan babbar Liyatu, sunan ƙaramar kuwa Rahila.
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
Liyatu tana da raunannun idanu, amma Rahila dai tsarinta yana da kyau kuma kyakkyawa ce.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
Yaƙub ya ƙaunaci Rahila, sai ya ce, “Zan yi maka aiki na shekaru bakwai domin ƙaramar’yarka Rahila.”
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
Laban ya ce, “Ya fi kyau in ba ka ita, da in ba wani mutum dabam. Zauna tare da ni.”
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving 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 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ba ni matata. Lokacina ya cika, ina kuma so in kwana da ita.”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
Saboda haka Laban ya tara dukan mutanen wurin, ya yi biki.
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to 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 gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
Laban kuma ya ba da baranyarsa Zilfa wa’yarsa tă zama mai hidimarta.
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived 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 done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
Laban ya amsa, “Ba al’adarmu ba ce a nan a ba da’ya ƙarama aure kafin’yar fari.
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other years.
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 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to 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 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
Laban ya ba da baranyarsa Bilha wa’yarsa Rahila ta zama mai hidimarta.
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
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 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga ba a ƙaunar Liyatu, sai ya buɗe mahaifarta, amma Rahila ta zama bakararriya.
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love 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 conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one 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 conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
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 And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased 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.
