Genesis 29
1 And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
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 field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on 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 (When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its 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 Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
Yaƙub ya tambayi makiyayan ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Mu daga Haran ne.”
5 And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
Sai ya ce musu, “Kun san Laban, jikan Nahor?” Suka amsa, “I, mun san shi.”
6 And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya tambaye su, “Yana nan lafiya?” Suka ce, “I, yana lafiya, ga ma’yarsa Rahila tafe da tumaki.”
7 And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
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 say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
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 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
Tun yana cikin magana da su, sai ga Rahila ta zo da tumakin mahaifinta, gama ita makiyayyiya ce.
10 and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
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 kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sumbaci Rahila, ya kuma ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.
12 and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to 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 it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to 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 and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
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 says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
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 And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, 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 Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Liyatu tana da raunannun idanu, amma Rahila dai tsarinta yana da kyau kuma kyakkyawa ce.
18 And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
Yaƙub ya ƙaunaci Rahila, sai ya ce, “Zan yi maka aiki na shekaru bakwai domin ƙaramar’yarka Rahila.”
19 and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to 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 serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because 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 says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I 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 gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
Saboda haka Laban ya tara dukan mutanen wurin, ya yi biki.
23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes 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 gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
Laban kuma ya ba da baranyarsa Zilfa wa’yarsa tă zama mai hidimarta.
25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why 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 says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
Laban ya amsa, “Ba al’adarmu ba ce a nan a ba da’ya ƙarama aure kafin’yar fari.
27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve 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 does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
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 gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
Laban ya ba da baranyarsa Bilha wa’yarsa Rahila ta zama mai hidimarta.
30 And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet 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 YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga ba a ƙaunar Liyatu, sai ya buɗe mahaifarta, amma Rahila ta zama bakararriya.
32 and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband 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 conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls 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 conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] 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 she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from 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.
