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 cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 Ishaku ya ce, “Yanzu na tsufa kuma ban san ranar mutuwata ba.
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
3 Saboda haka yanzu, ka ɗauki makamanka, kwari da bakanka, ka tafi jeji ka farauto mini nama.
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
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 tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before 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,
And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
6 sai Rebeka ta ce wa ɗanta Yaƙub, “Ka ji nan, na ji mahaifinka ya ce wa ɗan’uwanka Isuwa,
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have 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 for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 Saboda haka ɗana, ka saurara da kyau ka kuma yi abin da na faɗa maka.
'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to 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 take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 Sa’an nan ka kai wa mahaifinka yă ci, domin yă sa maka albarka kafin yă mutu.”
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth 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 saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I 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.”
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, 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 saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
14 Sai ya tafi ya kamo su, ya kawo wa mahaifiyarsa, ta kuwa shirya abinci mai daɗi, yadda mahaifinsa yake so.
And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath 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.
and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put 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 she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
17 Sa’an nan ta ba wa ɗanta Yaƙub abinci mai daɗi da kuma burodin da ta yi.
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Shi kuwa ya tafi wurin mahaifinsa ya ce, “Babana.” Shi kuma ya amsa “I, ɗana, wane ne?”
And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; 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 saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth 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.”
And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come 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.”
And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, 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.”
And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.'
23 Bai gane shi ba, gama hannuwansa suna da gashi kamar na ɗan’uwansa Isuwa, saboda haka ya albarkace shi.
And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 Ya tambaya, “Tabbatacce kai ne ɗana Isuwa?” Ya amsa ya ce “Ni ne.”
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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.
And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 Sa’an nan mahaifinsa Ishaku ya ce masa, “Zo nan, ɗana ka sumbace ni.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, 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.
and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;
28 Allah yă ba ka daga raɓar sama da kuma yalwar ƙasa, yalwar hatsi da sabon ruwan inabi.
and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and 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.”
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] 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 cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come 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.”
and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
32 Mahaifinsa Ishaku ya tambaye shi, “Wane ne kai?” Ya amsa, “Ni ne ɗanka, ɗan farinka, Isuwa.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, 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!”
and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
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 heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 Amma ya ce, “Ɗan’uwanka ya zo da makirci ya karɓi albarkarka.”
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh 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 saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?'
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?”
And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall 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 saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
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.
And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from 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 by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken 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 hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I 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.
And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
43 To, fa, ɗana, yi abin da na ce; gudu nan take zuwa wurin ɗan’uwana Laban a Haran.
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 Zauna tare da shi na ɗan lokaci sai ɗan’uwanka ya huce.
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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?”
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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.”
And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
