Genesis 30
1 Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
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, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
Yaƙub ya fusata da ita ya ce, “Ina a matsayin Allah ne wanda ya hana ke samun’ya’ya?”
3 Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
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 she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
Saboda haka ta ba shi baranyarta Bilha tă zama matarsa. Yaƙub kuwa ya kwana da ita,
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
ta kuwa yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa.
6 Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
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 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Baranyar Rahila ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifi wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
Sai Rahila ta ce, “Na yi kokawa sosai da’yar’uwata, na kuwa yi nasara.” Saboda haka ta kira shi Naftali.
9 When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
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 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Baranyar Liyatu, Zilfa ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Na yi sa’a!” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Gad.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Zilfa baranyar Liyatu ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
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 When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
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 said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
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 returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob 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 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Allah ya saurari Liyatu, ta kuwa yi ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyar.
18 Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Allah ya sāka mini saboda na ba da mai hidimata ga mijina.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Issakar.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
Liyatu ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na shida.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
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 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Daga baya ta haifi’ya ta kuwa ba ta suna Dina.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Sai Allah ya tuna da Rahila; ya saurare ta ya kuma buɗe mahaifarta.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
Sai ta yi ciki ta kuma haifi ɗa ta ce, “Allah ya ɗauke mini kunyata.”
24 She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
Ta ba shi suna Yusuf, ta kuma ce, “Bari Ubangiji yă ƙara mini wani ɗa.”
25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
Bayan Rahila ta haifi Yusuf, sai Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ka sallame ni don in koma ƙasata.
26 You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
Ba ni matana da’ya’yana, waɗanda na bauta maka dominsu, zan kuwa tafi. Ka dai san yadda na bauta maka.”
27 But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
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 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
Ya ƙara da cewa, “Faɗa albashinka, zan kuwa biya shi.”
29 Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
Yaƙub ya ce masa, “Ka dai san yadda na yi maka aiki da kuma yadda dabbobinka suka yi yawa a hannuna.
30 You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
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 Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
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 Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They 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 In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
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 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Sai Laban ya ce, “Na yarda. Bari yă zama yadda ka faɗa.”
35 But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
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 took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of 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 Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
Yaƙub ya samo ɗanyen reshen itatuwan aduruku, da na katambiri, da na durumi, ya ɓare ya bar fararen cikin katakon rassan.
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they 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 The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
sai su yi barbara a gaban rassan. Sai kuwa su haifi ƙanana masu zāne dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare ko masu zāne-zāne.
40 Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
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 In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate 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 when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
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 As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many 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.
