Farawa 24
1 Yanzu fa Ibrahim ya tsufa, yana da shekaru masu yawa, Ubangiji kuma ya albarkace shi a kowace hanya.
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 Sai Ibrahim ya ce wa babban bawan gidansa, wanda yake lura da duk abin da yake da shi, “Sa hannunka a ƙarƙashin cinyata.
And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 Ina so ka rantse da sunan Ubangiji Allah na sama da ƙasa, cewa ba za ka samo wa ɗana mata daga’yan matan Kan’aniyawa, waɗanda nake zama cikinsu ba.
and I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
4 Amma za ka tafi ƙasata da kuma cikin’yan’uwana, ka samo mata saboda ɗana Ishaku.”
But thou shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
5 Bawan ya ce masa, “Me zai faru in matar ba tă yarda tă zo tare da ni zuwa wannan ƙasa ba? In komar da ɗanka a ƙasar da ka fito ne ke nan?”
And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
6 Ibrahim ya ce, “Ka tabbata ba ka komar da ɗana can ba.”
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
7 Ubangiji Allah na sama, wanda ya fitar da ni daga gidan mahaifina, da kuma ƙasar asalina wanda kuma ya yi magana da ni, ya yi mini alkawari da rantsuwa cewa, “Ga zuriyarka zan ba da wannan ƙasa, zai aika mala’ikansa yă sha gabanka domin ka samo wa ɗana mata daga can.
The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.
8 In matar ba tă yarda tă zo tare da kai ba, za a kuɓutar da kai daga wannan rantsuwa. Sai dai kada ka kai ɗana a can.”
And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
9 Saboda haka bawan ya sa hannunsa a ƙarƙashin cinyar maigidansa Ibrahim, ya kuma rantse masa game da wannan al’amari.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Sai bawan ya ɗibi raƙuma goma na maigidansa ya tafi, ɗauke da kowane irin abubuwa masu kyau daga wurin maigidansa. Ya fita don yă tafi Aram-Naharayim, ya kama hanyarsa zuwa garin Nahor.
And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 Ya sa raƙuman suka durƙusa kusa da rijiya a bayan gari; wajen yamma ne, lokacin da mata sukan fita ɗiban ruwa.
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 Sai ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allah na maigidana Ibrahim, ka ba ni nasara yau, ka kuma nuna alheri ga maigidana Ibrahim.
And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
13 Duba, ina tsaye a bakin rijiyar ruwa,’ya’ya matan mutanen gari kuma suna fitowa domin ɗiban ruwa.
Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Bari yă zama sa’ad da na ce wa wata yarinya, ‘Ina roƙonki ki saukar da tulunki domin in sha,’ in ta ce, ‘Ka sha, zan kuma ba wa raƙumanka ma’; bari tă zama ita ce ka zaɓa wa bawanka Ishaku. Ta haka zan san cewa ka nuna wa maigidana alheri.”
And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
15 Kafin ya gama addu’a, sai Rebeka ta fito da tulu a kafaɗarta. Ita’yar Betuwel ɗan Milka, matar Nahor, ɗan’uwan Ibrahim.
And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
16 Yarinyar kuwa kyakkyawa ce, budurwa, ba namijin da ya taɓa kwana da ita. Ta gangara zuwa rijiyar, ta cika tulunta ta kuma hauro.
And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
17 Bawan ya yi sauri ya same ta ya ce, “Ina roƙonki ki ba ni ɗan ruwa daga tulunki.”
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
18 Ta ce, “Ka sha, ranka yă daɗe,” ta yi sauri ta saukar da tulun a hannuwanta, ta kuma ba shi, ya sha.
and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
19 Bayan ta ba shi ya sha, sai ta ce, “Zan ɗebo wa raƙumanka ruwa su ma, har sai sun gama sha.”
And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 Sai ta yi sauri ta juye ruwan da yake tulunta cikin kwami, ta koma zuwa rijiyar da gudu don ta ƙara ɗebo ruwa, ta kuma ɗebo isashe saboda dukan raƙumansa.
And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
21 Mutumin bai ce uffam ba, ya dai kalle ta sosai don yă san ko Ubangiji ya ba shi nasara a tafiyarsa ko babu.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 Sa’ad da raƙuman suka gama shan ruwa, mutumin ya fitar da zoben hanci na zinariya mai nauyin giram biyar da woroworo biyu na zinariya masu nauyin shekel goma, ya ba ta.
And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23 Sa’an nan ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Ke’yar wace ce? Ina roƙonki ki faɗa mini, akwai wuri a gidan mahaifinki da za mu kwana?”
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
24 Sai ta ce masa, “Ni’yar Betuwel ce ɗan da Milka ta haifa wa Nahor.”
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Ta ƙara da cewa, “Muna da isashen ciyawa da abincin dabbobi, da kuma wuri domin ku kwana.”
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Sa’an nan mutumin ya rusuna ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada,
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 yana cewa, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji Allah na maigidana Ibrahim, wanda bai daina nuna alheri da amincinsa ga maigidana ba. Ni kam, Ubangiji ya bishe ni a tafiyata zuwa gidan’yan’uwan maigidana.”
and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
28 Yariyan ta gudu ta faɗa wa mutanen gidan mahaifiyarta game da abubuwan nan.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 Rebeka fa tana da wani ɗan’uwa mai suna Laban, sai ya yi hanzari ya fita zuwa wurin mutumin a rijiyar.
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 Nan da nan da ya ga zoben hancin da woroworo a hannuwan’yar’uwansa, ya kuma ji Rebeka ta faɗa abin da mutumin ya ce mata, sai ya fita zuwa wurin mutumin, ya same shi yana tsaye wajen raƙuma kusa da rijiyar.
And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
31 Sai ya ce, “Zo, ya kai mai albarka na Ubangiji, don me kake tsaye a waje? Gama na shirya gida da wuri domin raƙuma.”
And he said to him, Come in hither, thou blessed of the Lord, why standest thou without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
32 Don haka mutumin ya tafi gidan, aka kuma saukar da kaya kan raƙuman. Aka kawo wa raƙuman ciyawa da abincin dabbobi, aka kuma kawo ruwa dominsa da mutanensa su wanke ƙafafunsu.
And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 Sa’an nan aka ajiye abinci a gabansa, amma ya ce, “Ba zan ci ba, sai na faɗi abin da yake tafe da ni.” Sai Laban ya ce, “Faɗa mana.”
And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Saboda haka ya ce, “Ni bawan Ibrahim ne.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 Ubangiji ya albarkaci maigidana sosai, ya kuma zama mai arziki. Ya ba shi tumaki, shanu, azurfa, zinariya, bayi maza da mata, raƙuma, da kuma jakuna.
and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
36 Saratu matar maigidana ta haifa masa ɗa a tsufanta, ya kuma ba shi duk mallakarsa.
And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
37 Maigidana ya sa na yi rantsuwa, ya kuma ce, ‘Kada ka ɗauko wa ɗana mata daga’ya’ya matan Kan’aniyawa, waɗanda nake zama a ƙasarsu,
And my master caused me to swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
38 amma ka tafi wajen gidan mahaifina da kuma dangina, ka ɗauko wa ɗana mata.’
But thou shalt go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
39 “Sai na ce wa maigidana, ‘A ce matar ba tă yarda tă zo tare da ni ba fa?’
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 “Maigidana ya ce, ‘Ubangiji wanda yake tare da ni zai aiki mala’ikansa tare da kai, yă kuma sa tafiyarka tă yi nasara, don ka samo wa ɗana mata daga dangina, daga kuma gidan mahaifina.
And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with thee, and shall prosper thy journey, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
41 Ta haka za ka kuɓuta daga rantsuwata sa’ad da ka tafi wurin dangina, ko ma sun ƙi su ba ka ita, za ka kuɓuta daga rantsuwata.’
Then shalt thou be clear from my curse, for whensoever thou shalt have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to thee, then shalt thou be clear from my oath.
42 “Sa’ad da na zo rijiya a yau, na ce, ‘Ya Ubangiji Allah na maigidana Ibrahim, ina roƙonka ka ba ni nasara a tafiyar da na yi.
And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if thou prosperest my journey on which I am now going,
43 Duba, ina tsaye kusa da wannan rijiya; in wata yarinya ta fito domin tă ɗiba ruwa, wadda in na ce mata, “Ina roƙonki bari in ɗan sha ruwa daga tulunki,”
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher,
44 in ta ce, “Ka sha, zan kuma ba wa raƙumanka ma,” bari tă zama wadda Ubangiji ya zaɓar wa ɗan maigidana.’
and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
45 “Kafin in gama addu’ar, a zuciyata, sai ga Rebeka ta fito da tulunta a kafaɗarta. Ta gangara zuwa rijiyar ta ɗebo ruwa, na kuma ce mata, ‘Ina roƙonki ki ba ni ɗan ruwa daga tulunki.’
And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
46 “Ta yi sauri ta saukar da tulun daga kafaɗarta ta ce, ‘Sha, zan kuma ba wa raƙumanka su ma.’ Sai na sha, ta kuma shayar da raƙumana su ma.
And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
47 “Na tambaye ta, ‘Ke’yar wane ne?’ “Ta ce, ‘’Yar Betuwel ɗan Nahor, wanda Milka ta haifa masa.’ “Sai na sa mata zobe a hancinta, woroworo kuma a hannuwata,
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 na kuma sunkuya na yi wa Ubangiji sujada. Na yabi Ubangiji Allah na maigidana Ibrahim wanda ya bi da ni a hanyar da take daidai, don in samo wa ɗan maigidana jikanyar ɗan’uwansa.
And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Yanzu fa in za ku nuna wa maigidana alheri da aminci, ku faɗa mini, in kuma ba haka ba, ku faɗa mini, don in san hanyar da zan juya.”
If then ye [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
50 Laban da Betuwel suka ce, “Wannan daga wurin Ubangiji ne, ba abin da za mu ce I, ko a’a ba.
And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.
51 Ga Rebeka, ɗauke ta ku tafi, bari tă zama matar ɗan maigidanka, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta.”
Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of thy master, as the Lord has said.
52 Sa’ad da bawan Ibrahim ya ji abin da suka ce, sai ya rusuna har ƙasa a gaban Ubangiji.
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 Sa’an nan bawan ya fito da kayan ado na zinariya da azurfa da kayayyaki na tufafi ya ba wa Rebeka; ya kuma ba wa ɗan’uwanta da mahaifiyarta kyautai masu tsada.
And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
54 Sa’an nan shi da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka ci, suka sha, suka kuma kwana a can. Kashegari da safe da suka tashi sai ya ce, “A sallame ni in koma wurin maigidana.”
And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
55 Amma ɗan’uwanta da mahaifiyarta suka ce, “Bari yarinyar ta ɗan zauna tare da mu kwana goma ko fiye, sa’an nan ka ta fi.”
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 Amma ya ce musu, “Kada ku tsai da ni, tun da Ubangiji ya ba ni nasara a tafiyata. Ku sallame ni domin in tafi wurin maigidana.”
But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
57 Sa’an nan suka ce, “Bari mu kira yarinyar mu tambaye ta game da zancen.”
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Saboda haka suka kira Rebeka suka ce mata, “Za ki tafi tare da mutumin nan?” Sai ta ce, “Zan tafi.”
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 Saboda haka suka sallame Rebeka,’yar’uwarsu, duk da uwar goyonta da bawan Ibrahim da mutanensa.
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 Suka kuma albarkaci Rebeka suka ce mata, “’Yar’uwarmu, bari ki zama mahaifiyar dubu dubbai, bari zuriyarki su mallaki ƙofofin abokan gābansu.”
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the cities of their enemies.
61 Sa’an nan Rebeka da bayinta mata suka shirya suka hau raƙumansu suka koma tare da mutumin. Da haka bawan ya ɗauki Rebeka ya tafi.
And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
62 Ishaku kuwa ya zo daga Beyer-Lahai-Royi, gama yana zama a Negeb.
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
63 Wata rana da yamma ya fita zuwa fili domin yă yi tunani, sa’ad da ya ɗaga ido, sai ya ga raƙuma suna zuwa.
And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 Rebeka ma ta ɗaga ido sai ta ga Ishaku. Ta sauka daga raƙuminta da sauri,
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 ta ce wa bawan, “Wane ne mutumin can a fili, da yake zuwa yă tarye mu?” Bawan ya ce, “Maigidana ne.” Saboda haka ta ɗauki mayafinta to rufe kanta.
and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Sai bawan ya faɗa wa Ishaku duk abin da ya yi.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Ishaku ya kawo ta cikin tentin mahaifiyarsa Saratu, ya kuma auri Rebeka. Ta haka ta zama matarsa, ya kuwa ƙaunace ta; Ishaku kuma ya ta’azantu bayan rasuwar mahaifiyarsa.
And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
