Farawa 29
1 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa har ya kai ƙasar mutanen gabashi.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
2 A can ya ga rijiya a jeji da garkuna uku na tumaki kwance kusa da ita, gama a wannan rijiya ce ake shayar da garkuna. Dutsen da ake rufe bakin rijiyar mai girma ne.
He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
3 Sa’ad da dukan garkuna suka taru a can, sai makiyayan su gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar su shayar da tumaki. Sa’an nan su mai da dutsen a wurinsa a bakin rijiya.
There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
4 Yaƙub ya tambayi makiyayan ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Mu daga Haran ne.”
Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
5 Sai ya ce musu, “Kun san Laban, jikan Nahor?” Suka amsa, “I, mun san shi.”
He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
6 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya tambaye su, “Yana nan lafiya?” Suka ce, “I, yana lafiya, ga ma’yarsa Rahila tafe da tumaki.”
He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
7 Ya ce, “Duba har yanzu da sauran rana da yawa, lokaci bai kai na tara garkuna ba. Ku shayar da tumaki ku mai da su wurin kiwo.”
He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
8 Suka amsa suka ce, “Ba za mu iya ba, sai dukan garkunan sun taru, aka kuma gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar. Sa’an nan za mu shayar da tumakin.”
They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
9 Tun yana cikin magana da su, sai ga Rahila ta zo da tumakin mahaifinta, gama ita makiyayyiya ce.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
10 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya ga Rahila’yar Laban, ɗan’uwan mahaifiyarsa, da tumakin Laban, sai ya tafi ya gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar, ya kuma shayar da tumakin kawunsa.
When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sumbaci Rahila, ya kuma ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.
Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Ya riga ya faɗa wa Rahila cewa shi dangin mahaifinta ne kuma ɗan Rebeka. Saboda haka ta ruga da gudu ta faɗa wa mahaifinta.
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
13 Nan da nan, da Laban ya sami labari game da Yaƙub, ɗan’yar’uwarsa, ya gaggauta yă sadu da shi. Sai ya rungume shi ya sumbace shi, ya kuma kawo shi gidansa, a can kuwa Yaƙub ya faɗa masa dukan waɗannan abubuwa.
When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
14 Sa’an nan Laban ya ce masa, “Kai nama da jinina ne.” Bayan Yaƙub ya zauna da shi na wata guda cif,
Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
15 sai Laban ya ce masa, “Don kawai kai dangina ne na kusa, sai kawai ka yi mini aiki a banza? Faɗa mini abin da albashinka zai zama.”
Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
16 Laban dai yana da’ya’ya mata biyu; sunan babbar Liyatu, sunan ƙaramar kuwa Rahila.
Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Liyatu tana da raunannun idanu, amma Rahila dai tsarinta yana da kyau kuma kyakkyawa ce.
Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
18 Yaƙub ya ƙaunaci Rahila, sai ya ce, “Zan yi maka aiki na shekaru bakwai domin ƙaramar’yarka Rahila.”
Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
19 Laban ya ce, “Ya fi kyau in ba ka ita, da in ba wani mutum dabam. Zauna tare da ni.”
Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
20 Saboda haka Yaƙub ya yi bauta shekaru bakwai domin a ba shi Rahila, amma shekarun suka zama kamar’yan kwanaki ne kawai gare shi saboda ƙaunar da yake mata.
Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ba ni matata. Lokacina ya cika, ina kuma so in kwana da ita.”
Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
22 Saboda haka Laban ya tara dukan mutanen wurin, ya yi biki.
Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Amma da yamma ta yi, sai ya ɗauki’yarsa Liyatu ya ba da ita ga Yaƙub, sai Yaƙub ya kwana da ita.
In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
24 Laban kuma ya ba da baranyarsa Zilfa wa’yarsa tă zama mai hidimarta.
Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
25 Sa’ad da safiya ta yi, sai ga Liyatu! Saboda haka Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Mene ne ke nan ka yi mini? Na yi maka bauta domin Rahila, ba haka na yi ba? Don me ka ruɗe ni?”
In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
26 Laban ya amsa, “Ba al’adarmu ba ce a nan a ba da’ya ƙarama aure kafin’yar fari.
Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Ka gama makon amaryanci na’yar nan; sa’an nan za mu ba ka ƙaramar ita ma, don ƙarin waɗansu shekaru bakwai na aiki.”
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
28 Haka kuwa Yaƙub ya yi. Ya gama mako guda da Liyatu, sa’an nan Laban ya ba shi’yarsa Rahila tă zama matarsa.
Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 Laban ya ba da baranyarsa Bilha wa’yarsa Rahila ta zama mai hidimarta.
Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
30 Yaƙub ya kwana da Rahila ita ma, ya kuwa ƙaunaci Rahila fiye da Liyatu. Ya kuma yi wa Laban aiki na ƙarin waɗansu shekaru bakwai.
He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
31 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga ba a ƙaunar Liyatu, sai ya buɗe mahaifarta, amma Rahila ta zama bakararriya.
Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Sai Liyatu ta yi ciki ta haifi ɗa. Ta sa masa suna Ruben, gama ta ce, “Domin Ubangiji ya ga wahalata. Tabbatacce mijina zai ƙaunace ni yanzu.”
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
33 Ta sāke yin ciki, sa’ad da kuma ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “Gama Ubangiji ya ji cewa ba a ƙaunata, ya ba ni wannan shi ma.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Simeyon.
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
34 Har yanzu ta yi ciki, sa’ad da kuma ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “Yanzu, a ƙarshe mijina zai manne mini, gama na haifa masa’ya’ya maza uku.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Lawi.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Ta sāke yin ciki, sa’ad da ta haifi ɗa sai ta ce, “A wannan lokaci zan yabi Ubangiji.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Yahuda. Sa’an nan ta daina haihuwa.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
