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 calls to Jacob, and blesses him, and commands him, and says to him, “You must 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.
rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban;
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 you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and you have become an assembly 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 He gives to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, to cause you to possess the land of your sojournings, which God gave to 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 sends Jacob away, and he goes to Padan-Aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 sees that Isaac has blessed Jacob, and has sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from there a wife—in his blessing him that he lays a charge on him, saying, You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan—
7 ya kuma san cewa Yaƙub ya yi biyayya da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram.
that Jacob listens to his father and to his mother, and goes to Padan-Aram—
8 Sai Isuwa ya gane cewa matan Kan’aniyawa ba su gamshi mahaifinsa Ishaku ba;
and Esau sees that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of his father Isaac,
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.
and Esau goes to Ishmael, and takes Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, to himself, for a wife.
10 Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba ya kama hanyar Haran.
And Jacob goes out from Beer-Sheba, and goes 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 touches at a [certain] place, and lodges there, for the sun has gone in, and he takes of the stones of the place, and makes [them] his pillows, and lies down in that 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 dreams, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and behold, messengers of God are going up and coming down 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 behold, YHWH is standing on it, and He says, “I [am] YHWH, God of your father Abraham, and God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying, to you I give it, and to your 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 your seed has been as the dust of the land, and you have broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you and in your seed.
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 you, and have kept you wherever you go, and have caused you to return to this ground; for I do not leave you until I have surely done that which I have spoken to you.”
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 awakens out of his sleep and says, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I did not know”;
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 fears and says, “How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.”
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 rises early in the morning, and takes the stone which he has made his pillows, and makes it a standing pillar, and pours oil on its top,
19 Ya kira wannan wuri Betel ko da yake dā ana kiran birnin Luz ne.
and he calls the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city 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 vows a vow, saying, “Seeing God is with me, and has kept me in this way which I am going, and has given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on—
21 har in dawo lafiya zuwa gidan mahaifina, to, Ubangiji zai zama Allahna
when I have turned back in peace to the house of my father, and YHWH has become 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.”
then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that You give to me—tithing I tithe to You.”
