< 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, and said unto him: 'Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
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.
Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
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 fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a congregation of peoples;
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 thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.'
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 Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's 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,”
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying: 'Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan';
7 ya kuma san cewa Yaƙub ya yi biyayya da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram.
and that Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram;
8 Sai Isuwa ya gane cewa matan Kan’aniyawa ba su gamshi mahaifinsa Ishaku ba;
and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
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.
so Esau went unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives that he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba ya kama hanyar Haran.
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward 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 he lighted upon the place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
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 dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on 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, behold, the LORD stood beside him, and said: 'I am the LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, 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, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth 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, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.'
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 Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: 'Surely 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 he was afraid, and said: 'How full of awe is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is 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 rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured 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 that place Beth-el, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
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 Jacob vowed a vow, saying: 'If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 har in dawo lafiya zuwa gidan mahaifina, to, Ubangiji zai zama Allahna
so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then shall the LORD 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 pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.'
