< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Yaƙub shi ma ya kama hanyarsa, sai mala’ikun Allah suka sadu da shi.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya gan su sai ya ce, “Wannan sansanin Allah ne!” Saboda haka ya kira wannan wuri Mahanayim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Sai Yaƙub ya aiki manzanni su sha gabansa zuwa wurin ɗan’uwansa Isuwa a ƙasar Seyir, a ƙauyen Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now:
Ya umarce su, “Ga abin da za ku faɗa wa maigidana Isuwa, ‘Bawanka Yaƙub ya ce, na yi zama tare da Laban na kuwa kasance a can sai yanzu.
5 And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Ina da shanu da jakuna, tumaki da awaki, bayi maza da mata. Yanzu ina aika da wannan saƙo zuwa ga ranka yă daɗe, don in sami tagomashi a idanunka.’”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Sa’ad da manzannin suka komo wurin Yaƙub, suka ce, “Mun tafi wurin ɗan’uwanka Isuwa, yanzu kuwa yana zuwa ya sadu da kai, da kuma mutum ɗari huɗu tare da shi.”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
Da tsoro mai yawa da kuma damuwa, Yaƙub ya rarraba mutanen da suke tare da shi ƙungiyoyi biyu, haka ma garkunan tumaki da awaki, da garkunan shanu da raƙuma.
8 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Ya yi tunani, “In Isuwa ya zo ya fāɗa wa ƙungiya ɗaya, sai ƙungiya ɗayan da ta ragu ta tsira.”
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya yi addu’a, “Ya Allah na mahaifina Ibrahim, Allah na mahaifina Ishaku. Ya Ubangiji kai da ka ce mini, ‘Koma ƙasarka zuwa wurin danginka, zan kuma sa ka yi albarka.’
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
Ban cancanci dukan alheri da amincin da ka nuna wa bawanka ba. Da sanda kaɗai nake sa’ad da na ƙetare wannan Urdun, amma ga shi yanzu na zama ƙungiyoyi biyu.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
Ka cece ni, ina roƙonka daga hannun ɗan’uwana Isuwa, gama ina tsoro zai zo yă fāɗa mini, yă karkashe mu duka,’ya’ya da iyaye.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Amma ka riga ka faɗa, ‘Tabbatacce zan sa ka yi albarka. Zan kuma sa zuriyarka su zama kamar yashin teku da ba a iya ƙirgawa.’”
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Ya kwana a can, daga cikin abin da yake tare da shi kuwa, ya zaɓi kyauta domin ɗan’uwansa Isuwa,
14 Two hundred female goats, and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
awaki ɗari biyu da bunsurai ashirin, tumaki ɗari biyu da raguna ashirin,
15 Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten foals.
raƙuma mata talatin tare da ƙananansu, shanu arba’in da bijimai goma, jakuna mata ashirin da kuma jakuna maza goma.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Ya sa su a ƙarƙashin kulawar bayinsa, kowane kashin garke ya kasance a ware. Ya ce wa bayinsa, “Ku sha gabana, ku kuma ba da rata tsakanin garke da garke.”
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and where goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
Ya umarci wanda yake jagorar ya ce, “Sa’ad da ɗan’uwana Isuwa ya sadu da ku ya kuma yi tambaya, ‘Ku na wane ne, ina za ku, kuma wane ne mai dukan dabbobin nan da suke gabanku?’
18 Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
Sai ku ce, ‘Na bawanka Yaƙub ne. Kyauta ce wa maigidana Isuwa, yana kuma tafe a bayanmu.’”
19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
Yaƙub ya kuma umarci na biyu da na uku da kuma dukan waɗansu da suka bi garkunan, “Sai ku faɗa irin abu guda ga Isuwa sa’ad da kuka sadu da shi.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept of me.
Ku kuma tabbata kun ce, ‘Bawanka Yaƙub yana tafe a bayanmu.’” Gama Yaƙub ya yi tunani cewa, “Zan kwantar da ran Isuwa da waɗannan kyautai, kafin mu sadu fuska da fuska, wataƙila yă karɓe shi.”
21 So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Saboda haka kyautai Yaƙub suka sha gabansa, amma shi kansa ya kwana a sansani.
22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
A wannan dare Yaƙub ya tashi ya ɗauki matansa biyu, da matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansa goma sha ɗaya ya haye rafin Yabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
Bayan ya sa suka haye rafin, haka ma ya tura dukan mallakarsa zuwa hayen.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Saboda haka sai aka bar Yaƙub shi kaɗai. Sai ga wani mutum ya zo ya yi kokawa da shi har wayewar gari.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Da mutumin ya ga cewa bai fi ƙarfin Yaƙub ba, sai ya bugi kwarin ƙashin cinyar Yaƙub, sai gaɓar ƙashin cinyarsa ya goce, a sa’ad da yake kokawa da mutumin.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Sa’an nan mutumin ya ce, “Bar ni in tafi, gama gari ya waye.” Amma Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Ba zan bar ka ka tafi ba, sai ka sa mini albarka.”
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Mutumin ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Mene ne sunanka?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Yaƙub.”
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Sai mutumin ya ce, “Sunanka ba zai ƙara zama Yaƙub ba, amma Isra’ila, gama ka yi kokawa da Allah da mutane, ka kuwa yi rinjaye.”
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Yaƙub ya ce, “Ina roƙonka, faɗa mini sunanka.” Amma mutumin ya amsa ya ce, “Me ya sa kake tambayata sunana?” Sa’an nan ya albarkace shi.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Saboda haka Yaƙub ya kira wurin Feniyel, yana cewa, “Domin na ga Allah fuska da fuska, duk da haka aka bar ni da rai.”
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.
Rana ta yi sama a sa’ad da ya wuce Fenuwel yana kuma ɗingishi saboda ƙashin cinyarsa.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Wannan ya sa har wa yau Isra’ilawa ba sa cin jijiyar ƙashin cinya wadda take a kwarin ƙashin cinya, domin an taɓa kwarin ƙashin cinyar Yaƙub kusa da jijiyar.
