Farawa 27
1 Sa’ad da Ishaku ya tsufa idanunsa suka raunana har ba ya iya gani, sai ya kira Isuwa babban ɗansa ya ce masa, “Ɗana.” Isuwa kuwa ya amsa, ya ce “Ga ni.”
And it came to pass that Isaac, was old, and his eyes became too dim to see, so he called Esau his elder son and said unto him My son! And he said unto him, Behold me!
2 Ishaku ya ce, “Yanzu na tsufa kuma ban san ranar mutuwata ba.
And he said, Behold, I pray thee, I am old, —I know not the day of my death.
3 Saboda haka yanzu, ka ɗauki makamanka, kwari da bakanka, ka tafi jeji ka farauto mini nama.
Now, therefore, take I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and catch for me game;
4 Ka shirya mini irin abinci mai daɗin da nake so, ka kawo mini in ci, domin in sa maka albarka kafin in mutu.”
and make for me dainty meats, such as I love and bring in to me, that I may eat, —To the end my soul may bless thee, ere yet I die!
5 Ashe, Rebeka tana ji sa’ad da Ishaku ya yi wa ɗansa Isuwa magana. Da Isuwa ya tafi jeji don yă farauto nama yă kawo,
Now, Rebekah, was hearkening, when Isaac spake unto Esau his son, and Esau went his way to the field, to catch game, to bring in.
6 sai Rebeka ta ce wa ɗanta Yaƙub, “Ka ji nan, na ji mahaifinka ya ce wa ɗan’uwanka Isuwa,
Rebekah, therefore spake unto Jacob her son saying, —Lo! I heard thy father, speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Kawo mini nama ka shirya mini abinci mai daɗi don in ci, in sa maka albarka a gaban Ubangiji kafin in mutu.’
Bring in for me game and make for me dainty meats, that I may eat; and let me bless thee in the presence of Yahweh before my death.
8 Saboda haka ɗana, ka saurara da kyau ka kuma yi abin da na faɗa maka.
Now, therefore my son, hearken unto my voice, —in that which I am commanding thee:
9 Je garke ka kawo mini awaki biyu kyawawa, domin in shirya abinci mai daɗi wa mahaifinka, kamar yadda dai yake so.
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and fetch me from thence two kids of the goats, fine ones, —that I may make of them dainty meats for thy father such as he loveth:
10 Sa’an nan ka kai wa mahaifinka yă ci, domin yă sa maka albarka kafin yă mutu.”
Then shalt thou take them in unto thy father and he shall eat, —To the end he may bless thee before his death.
11 Yaƙub ya ce wa mahaifiyarsa Rebeka, “Amma ɗan’uwana Isuwa mutum ne mai gashi a jiki, ni kuma jikina sumul yake.
And Jacob said unto Rebekah his mother, Lo! Esau my brother, is a hairy man, whereas, I, am a smooth man:
12 A ce baba ya tattaɓa ni fa? Zai zama kamar ina ruɗunsa ne, wannan fa zai jawo mini la’ana a maimakon albarka.”
peradventure my father might feel me, then should I be in his eyes as one that mocketh, —and should bring upon myself a reproach, and not a blessing!
13 Mahaifiyarsa ta ce masa, “Ɗana, bari la’anar tă fāɗo a kaina. Kai dai yi abin da na faɗa, jeka ka kawo mini su.”
And his mother said to him, Upon me, be thy reproach my son, —only hearken unto my voice and go fetch [them] for me.
14 Sai ya tafi ya kamo su, ya kawo wa mahaifiyarsa, ta kuwa shirya abinci mai daɗi, yadda mahaifinsa yake so.
So he went, and fetched [them], and brought them in to his mother, and his mother made dainty meats, such as his father loved.
15 Sa’an nan Rebeka ta ɗauki riguna mafi kyau na Isuwa babban ɗanta, waɗanda take da su a gida ta sa wa ƙaramin ɗanta Yaƙub.
Then took Rebekah the garments of Esau her elder son, the costly ones, which were with her in the house, —and put them on Jacob her younger son:
16 Sai ta mamanne gashin awakin nan biyu a hannuwansa da bayan wuyarsa wanda ba gashi.
and the, skins of the kids of the goats, put she upon his hands, —and on the smooth part of his neck;
17 Sa’an nan ta ba wa ɗanta Yaƙub abinci mai daɗi da kuma burodin da ta yi.
then placed she the dainty meats and the bread, which she had made ready, in the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Shi kuwa ya tafi wurin mahaifinsa ya ce, “Babana.” Shi kuma ya amsa “I, ɗana, wane ne?”
So he went in unto his father, and said My father! And he said Behold me! who art, thou, my son?
19 Yaƙub ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ni ne Isuwa ɗan farinka. Na yi yadda ka faɗa mini. Ina roƙonka tashi ka zauna ka ci naman, domin ka sa mini albarkarka.”
And Jacob said unto his father I, am Esau thy firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end thy soul may bless me.
20 Ishaku ya tambayi ɗansa, “Yaya aka yi ka samo shi da sauri haka, ɗana?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Ubangiji Allahnka ne ya ba ni nasara.”
Then said Isaac unto his son. How is it thou hast been so quick in finding, my son? And he said, Because Yahweh thy God caused it so to fall out before me.
21 Sai Ishaku ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Zo kusa don in taɓa ka, ɗana, domin in sani ko tabbatacce kai ne ɗana Isuwa ko babu.”
Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son—whether, thou thyself, art my son Esau, or not.
22 Yaƙub kuwa ya matsa kusa da mahaifinsa Ishaku, wanda ya tattaɓa shi, sa’an nan ya ce, “Muryan nan dai, muryar Yaƙub ce, amma hannuwan, hannuwan Isuwa ne.”
So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he the voice is the voice of Jacob; But, the hands, are the hands of Esau.
23 Bai gane shi ba, gama hannuwansa suna da gashi kamar na ɗan’uwansa Isuwa, saboda haka ya albarkace shi.
So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy, —so he blessed him.
24 Ya tambaya, “Tabbatacce kai ne ɗana Isuwa?” Ya amsa ya ce “Ni ne.”
And he said, Thou thyself, art my son Esau? And he said, I am!
25 Sa’an nan ya ce, “Ɗana, kawo mini naman da ka farauto in ci, domin in sa maka albarka.” Yaƙub ya kawo masa ya kuwa ci; ya kuma kawo masa ruwan inabi ya kuma sha.
So he said, Bring it near to me., that I may eat of the game of my son, To the end my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought in to him wine, and he drank.
26 Sa’an nan mahaifinsa Ishaku ya ce masa, “Zo nan, ɗana ka sumbace ni.”
Then Isaac his father said unto him, —Come thou near I pray thee and kiss me my son.
27 Saboda haka ya je gunsa ya sumbace shi. Sa’ad da Ishaku ya ji ƙanshin rigunansa, sai ya sa masa albarka ya ce, “Aha, ƙanshin ɗana yana kama da ƙanshin jejin da Ubangiji ya sa wa albarka ne.
So he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him, —and said. See! the smell of my son, As the smell of a field, which Yahweh hath blessed;
28 Allah yă ba ka daga raɓar sama da kuma yalwar ƙasa, yalwar hatsi da sabon ruwan inabi.
Then, may God give thee of the dew of the heavens, And of the fatness of the earth, —And abundance of corn and new wine:
29 Bari al’ummai su bauta maka mutane kuma su rusuna maka. Ka zama shugaba a kan’yan’uwanka bari kuma’ya’yan mahaifiyarka su rusuna maka. Bari waɗanda suka la’anta ka, su la’antu; waɗanda kuma suka sa maka albarka, su sami albarka.”
Let peoples serve thee And races bow down to thee, Become thou lord to thy brethren, And let the sons of thy mother bow down to thee, —He that curseth thee, be accursed! And he that blesseth thee, be blessed!
30 Bayan Ishaku ya gama sa masa albarka, Yaƙub yana fita daga mahaifinsa ke nan, sai ga ɗan’uwansa Isuwa ya dawo daga farauta.
And it came to pass as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, —yea it came to pass when Jacob, had only just gone forth, from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother, came in from his hunting.
31 Shi ma ya shirya abinci mai daɗi ya kawo wa mahaifinsa. Sa’an nan ya ce masa, “Babana, tashi ka zauna ka ci daga abin da na farauto, domin ka sa mini albarka.”
Then, he too, made dainty meats, and brought in to his father, —and said to his father, Let my father rise that he may eat of the game of his son, To the end thy soul may bless me!
32 Mahaifinsa Ishaku ya tambaye shi, “Wane ne kai?” Ya amsa, “Ni ne ɗanka, ɗan farinka, Isuwa.”
And Isaac his father said to him Who art, thou? And he said, I, am thy son thy firstborn, Esau.
33 Ishaku ya yi makyarkyata ƙwarai ya ce, “To, wane ne wannan da ya farauto nama ya kawo mini kafin ka zo, har na ci na kuma sa masa albarka? Tabbatacce zai zama mai albarka!”
Then did Isaac tremble with an exceeding great trembling, and said Who then was it that caught game and brought in to me and I did eat of all ere yet thou didst come in and I blessed him? Yea blessed, shall he remain!
34 Sa’ad da Isuwa ya ji kalmomin mahaifinsa, sai ya fashe da kuka mai zafi kuma da ƙarfi, ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ka albarkace ni, ni ma, baba!”
When Esau heard the words of his father, then cried he out with an outcry loud and bitter exceedingly, —and said to his father, Bless even me also, O my father!
35 Amma ya ce, “Ɗan’uwanka ya zo da makirci ya karɓi albarkarka.”
Then he said, Thy brother came in with deceit, —and took away thy blessing.
36 Isuwa ya ce, “Ba saboda haka ne aka raɗa masa suna Yaƙub ba? Ya yi mini ƙwace sau biyu ke nan; ya ƙwace mini matsayina na ɗan fari, ga shi yanzu kuma ya karɓi albarkata.” Sa’an nan ya yi tambaya, “Ba sauran albarkar da ka rage mini?”
And he said, Is it because his name, is called, Jacob, that he hath tricked me, now twice? My birthright, he took away, And lo! now, he hath taken away my blessing! And he said, Hast thou not reserved for me a blessing?
37 Ishaku ya amsa wa Isuwa, “Na mai da shi shugaba a kanka, na sa dukan dangoginsa su zama bayinsa, na kuma ba shi hatsi da sabon ruwan inabi. Saboda haka me kuma zan yi maka ɗana?”
Then answered Isaac and said to Esau, —Lo a lord, have I appointed him unto thee, And, all his brethren, have I given to him as servants, And with corn and new wine, have I sustained him, —And for thee—now, what can I do, my son?
38 Isuwa ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Iyakar albarkar da kake da ita ke nan, baba? Ka albarkace ni ni ma, baba!” Sai Isuwa ya ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.
And Esau said unto his father, But one blessing, hast thou, O my father? Bless, me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Mahaifinsa Ishaku ya amsa masa ya ce, “Ga shi, ni’imar ƙasar za tă nisanci mazauninka. Raɓar samaniya can ƙwanƙoli za tă nisance ka.
Then answered Isaac his father and said unto him, —Lo! of the fat parts of the earth, shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of the heavens, above;
40 Za ka rayu ta wurin takobi za ka kuwa bauta wa ɗan’uwanka. Amma sa’ad da ka ɓalle, za ka kakkarye karkiyarsa daga wuyanka.”
And on thy sword, shalt thou live, And thy brother, shalt thou serve: But it shall come to pass when thou shalt rove at large, Then shalt thou break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Isuwa ya riƙe Yaƙub a zuciya saboda albarkar da mahaifinsa ya sa masa. Ya ce wa kansa, “Kwanakin mutuwar mahaifina sun yi kusa; sa’an nan zan kashe ɗan’uwana Yaƙub.”
And Esau lay in wait for Jacob, on account of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him, —and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, when I can slay Jacob my brother.
42 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Rebeka abin da babban ɗanta Isuwa ya faɗa, sai ta kira ɗanta Yaƙub ta ce masa, “Ɗan’uwanka Isuwa yana ta’azantar da kansa da tunanin kashe ka.
Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him—Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay thee.
43 To, fa, ɗana, yi abin da na ce; gudu nan take zuwa wurin ɗan’uwana Laban a Haran.
Now, therefore, my son, hearken to my voice, —and rise flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 Zauna tare da shi na ɗan lokaci sai ɗan’uwanka ya huce.
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, —until that the wrath of thy brother turn away:
45 Sa’ad da ɗan’uwanka ya daina fushi da kai, ya kuma manta da abin da ka yi masa, zan aika don ka dawo daga can. Don me zan rasa ku biyu a rana guda?”
until the turning away of the anger of thy brother from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him, and I send and fetch thee from thence. Wherefore should I lose, you both, in one day?
46 Sa’an nan Rebeka ta ce wa Ishaku, “Ni fa na gaji da matan Hittiyawan nan. In Yaƙub ya auri mata daga cikin matan ƙasan nan, wato, daga matan Hittiyawa irin waɗannan, rayuwata ba za tă daɗa mini kome ba.”
So then Rebekah said unto Isaac, I am disgusted with my life because of the daughters of Heth, —Should Jacob be taking a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these, of the daughters of the land, wherefore could I wish for life?
