Farawa 24
1 Yanzu fa Ibrahim ya tsufa, yana da shekaru masu yawa, Ubangiji kuma ya albarkace shi a kowace hanya.
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham 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 Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, 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 make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 Amma za ka tafi ƙasata da kuma cikin’yan’uwana, ka samo mata saboda ɗana Ishaku.”
but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take 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 unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 Ibrahim ya ce, “Ka tabbata ba ka komar da ɗana can ba.”
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
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, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for 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 be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring 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 Abraham his master, and sware 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 the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 Ya sa raƙuman suka durƙusa kusa da rijiya a bayan gari; wajen yamma ne, lokacin da mata sukan fita ɗiban ruwa.
And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out 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, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Duba, ina tsaye a bakin rijiyar ruwa,’ya’ya matan mutanen gari kuma suna fitowa domin ɗiban ruwa.
Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out 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 let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
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, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
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 damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, 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 to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water 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, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Bayan ta ba shi ya sha, sai ta ce, “Zan ɗebo wa raƙumanka ruwa su ma, har sai sun gama sha.”
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
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 her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his 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 looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey 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, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight 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 said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 Sai ta ce masa, “Ni’yar Betuwel ce ɗan da Milka ta haifa wa Nahor.”
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 Ta ƙara da cewa, “Muna da isashen ciyawa da abincin dabbobi, da kuma wuri domin ku kwana.”
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Sa’an nan mutumin ya rusuna ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada,
And the man bowed his head, and 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 he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master: as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 Yariyan ta gudu ta faɗa wa mutanen gidan mahaifiyarta game da abubuwan nan.
And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house 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 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain.
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 ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.
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, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room 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 came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the men’s feet 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 there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Saboda haka ya ce, “Ni bawan Ibrahim ne.
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
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 hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses.
36 Saratu matar maigidana ta haifa masa ɗa a tsufanta, ya kuma ba shi duk mallakarsa.
And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
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 made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 amma ka tafi wajen gidan mahaifina da kuma dangina, ka ɗauko wa ɗana mata.’
but thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take 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 unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow 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 unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
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 oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt 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 I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
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 fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
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 also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master’s son.
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 before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
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 made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
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? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon 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 I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter 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.”
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, 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.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Ga Rebeka, ɗauke ta ku tafi, bari tă zama matar ɗan maigidanka, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta.”
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
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, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD.
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 brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
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 they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto 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 brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
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.”
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Sa’an nan suka ce, “Bari mu kira yarinyar mu tambaye ta game da zancen.”
And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire 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 Rebekah, and said unto 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.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
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 Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
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 Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Ishaku kuwa ya zo daga Beyer-Lahai-Royi, gama yana zama a Negeb.
And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of 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 out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
64 Rebeka ma ta ɗaga ido sai ta ga Ishaku. Ta sauka daga raƙuminta da sauri,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off 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 she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It 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 the things 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 brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
