< Genesis 32 >

1 And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
Yaƙub shi ma ya kama hanyarsa, sai mala’ikun Allah suka sadu da shi.
2 and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, 'This [is] the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place 'Two Camps.'
Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya gan su sai ya ce, “Wannan sansanin Allah ne!” Saboda haka ya kira wannan wuri Mahanayim.
3 And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
Sai Yaƙub ya aiki manzanni su sha gabansa zuwa wurin ɗan’uwansa Isuwa a ƙasar Seyir, a ƙauyen Edom.
4 and commandeth them, saying, 'Thus do ye say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and I tarry until 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 ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'
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 turn back unto Jacob, saying, 'We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also 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 and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
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 saith, 'If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have smitten it — then the camp which is left hath been for an escape.'
Ya yi tunani, “In Isuwa ya zo ya fāɗa wa ƙungiya ɗaya, sai ƙungiya ɗayan da ta ragu ta tsira.”
9 And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good 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 have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant — for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
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 am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me — mother beside sons;
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 — Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the 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 lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into 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 she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
awaki ɗari biyu da bunsurai ashirin, tumaki ɗari biyu da raguna ashirin,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
raƙuma mata talatin tare da ƙananansu, shanu arba’in da bijimai goma, jakuna mata ashirin da kuma jakuna maza goma.
16 and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put 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 commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither 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 hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind us.'
Sai ku ce, ‘Na bawanka Yaƙub ne. Kyauta ce wa maigidana Isuwa, yana kuma tafe a bayanmu.’”
19 And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding 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 ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'
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 and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
Saboda haka kyautai Yaƙub suka sha gabansa, amma shi kansa ya kwana a sansani.
22 And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of 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 taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
Bayan ya sa suka haye rafin, haka ma ya tura dukan mallakarsa zuwa hayen.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
Saboda haka sai aka bar Yaƙub shi kaɗai. Sai ga wani mutum ya zo ya yi kokawa da shi har wayewar gari.
25 and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh is disjointed in his wrestling 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 saith, 'Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, 'I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed 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 saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
Mutumin ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Mene ne sunanka?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Yaƙub.”
28 And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
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 asketh, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, 'Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth 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 calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
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 the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Rana ta yi sama a sa’ad da ya wuce Fenuwel yana kuma ɗingishi saboda ƙashin cinyarsa.
32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which 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.
