Farawa 28
1 Saboda haka Ishaku ya kira Yaƙub, ya kuma albarkace shi, sa’an nan ya umarce shi ya ce, “Kada ka auri mace daga Kan’ana.
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan:
2 Tashi nan da nan ka tafi Faddan Aram, zuwa gidan mahaifin mahaifiyarka Betuwel. Ka ɗauko wa kanka mata a can daga cikin’ya’ya matan Laban ɗan’uwan mahaifiyarka.
But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother’s father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle.
3 Bari Allah Maɗaukaki yă albarkace ka, yă kuma sa ka yi ta haihuwa ka riɓaɓɓanya har ka zama ƙungiyar jama’o’i.
And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.
4 Bari Allah yă ba ka da kuma zuriyarka albarkar da ya ba wa Ibrahim, don ka amshi ƙasar da kake baƙunci, ƙasar da Allah ya ba wa Ibrahim.”
And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather.
5 Sa’an nan Ishaku ya sallami Yaƙub, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram, zuwa wurin Laban ɗan Betuwel mutumin Aram. Laban ne ɗan’uwan Rebeka, wadda take mahaifiyar Yaƙub da Isuwa.
And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.
6 Yanzu Isuwa ya san cewa Ishaku ya albarkaci Yaƙub ya kuma aike shi zuwa Faddan Aram don yă auri mata daga can, ya kuma san cewa sa’ad da ya albarkace shi, ya umarce shi cewa, “Kada ka auro wata mace daga cikin Kan’aniyawa,”
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:
7 ya kuma san cewa Yaƙub ya yi biyayya da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram.
And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria:
8 Sai Isuwa ya gane cewa matan Kan’aniyawa ba su gamshi mahaifinsa Ishaku ba;
Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan:
9 saboda haka sai ya tafi wurin Ishmayel ya auri Mahalat,’yar’uwar Nebayiwot da kuma’yar Ishmayel ɗan Ibrahim, ban da matan da yake da su.
He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nabajoth.
10 Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba ya kama hanyar Haran.
But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
11 Sa’ad da ya kai wani wuri, sai ya dakata domin yă kwana, gama rana ta riga ta fāɗi. Ya ɗauki dutse daga cikin duwatsun wurin, ya sa shi ya zama matashin kansa, sa’an nan ya kwanta don yă yi barci.
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place.
12 Ya yi mafarki inda ya ga wata matakalar hawa, tsaye a ƙasa, kanta ta kai sama, mala’ikun Allah kuwa suna hawa, suna sauka a kanta.
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it;
13 A can bisantaUbangiji ya tsaya, ya kuma ce, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allah na mahaifinka Ibrahim da kuma Allah na Ishaku. Zan ba ka, kai da kuma zuriyarka, ƙasar da kake kwance a kai.
And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed.
14 Zuriyarka za tă zama kamar ƙurar ƙasa, za ka kuma bazu zuwa yamma da kuma gabas, zuwa arewa da kuma kudu. Dukan mutanen duniya za su sami albarka ta wurinka da kuma ta wurin’ya’yanka.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED.
15 Ina tare da kai, zan lura da kai duk inda ka tafi, zan kuma dawo da kai zuwa wannan ƙasa. Ba zan rabu da kai ba sai na cika abin da na yi maka alkawari.”
And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said.
16 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya farka daga barci, sai ya yi tunani ya ce, “Tabbatacce Ubangiji yana a wannan wuri, ban kuwa sani ba.”
And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 Ya ji tsoro, ya kuma ce, “Wane irin wuri ne mai banrazana haka! Lalle wannan gidan Allah ne, kuma nan ne ƙofar sama.”
And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
18 Kashegari da sassafe, sai Yaƙub ya ɗauki dutsen da ya yi matashin kai da shi, ya kafa shi al’amudi, ya kuma zuba mai a kansa.
And Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it.
19 Ya kira wannan wuri Betel ko da yake dā ana kiran birnin Luz ne.
And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza.
20 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya yi alkawari cewa, “In Allah zai kasance tare da ni yă kuma lura da ni a wannan tafiya, yă kuma ba ni abinci in ci da tufafi in sa,
And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 har in dawo lafiya zuwa gidan mahaifina, to, Ubangiji zai zama Allahna
And I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God:
22 kuma wannan dutsen da na kafa al’amudi, zai zama gidan Allah, kuma dukan abin da ka ba ni zan ba ka kashi ɗaya bisa goma.”
And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.
