Farawa 30

1 Sa’ad da Rahila ta ga cewa ba tă haifa wa Yaƙub’ya’ya ba, sai ta fara kishin’yar’uwarta. Saboda haka ta ce wa Yaƙub, “Ka ba ni’ya’ya, ko kuwa in mutu!”

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

2 Yaƙub ya fusata da ita ya ce, “Ina a matsayin Allah ne wanda ya hana ke samun’ya’ya?”

But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?

3 Sa’an nan ta ce, “Ga Bilha, mai baiwata, ka kwana da ita don tă haifa mini’ya’ya, ta gare ta kuwa ni ma in gina iyali.”

Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

4 Saboda haka ta ba shi baranyarta Bilha tă zama matarsa. Yaƙub kuwa ya kwana da ita,

So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5 ta kuwa yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa.

And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

6 Sa’an nan Rahila ta ce, “Allah ya baratar da ni; ya saurari roƙona ya kuma ba ni ɗa.” Saboda wannan ta ba shi suna Dan.

Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

7 Baranyar Rahila ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifi wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.

And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

8 Sai Rahila ta ce, “Na yi kokawa sosai da’yar’uwata, na kuwa yi nasara.” Saboda haka ta kira shi Naftali.

And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

9 Sa’ad da Liyatu ta ga cewa ta daina haihuwa, sai ta ɗauki mai hidimarta Zilfa ta ba da ita ga Yaƙub tă zama matarsa.

When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

10 Baranyar Liyatu, Zilfa ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

11 Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Na yi sa’a!” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Gad.

And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

12 Zilfa baranyar Liyatu ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyu.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

13 Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Ni mai farin ciki ce! Mata za su ce da ni mai farin ciki.” Saboda haka ta sa masa suna Asher.

And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

14 A lokacin girbin alkama, sai Ruben ya je jeji ya ɗebo manta-uwa ya kawo wa mahaifiyarsa Liyatu. Sai Rahila ta ce wa Liyatu, “Ina roƙonki ki ɗan sam mini manta-uwa ɗanki.”

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

15 Amma ta ce mata, “Bai ishe ki ba ne da kika ƙwace mijina? Yanzu kuma kina so ki ƙwace manta-uwa na yarona?” Sai Rahila ta ce “Shi ke nan, mijina zai iya kwana da ke yau saboda manta-uwa na ɗanki.”

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

16 Saboda haka sa’ad da Yaƙub ya dawo daga jeji a wannan yamma sai Liyatu ta fito ta tarye shi. Ta ce, “Dole ka kwana da ni, na yi hayarka da manta-uwa na ɗana.” Saboda haka ya kwana da ita a wannan dare.

In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

17 Allah ya saurari Liyatu, ta kuwa yi ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na biyar.

And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

18 Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Allah ya sāka mini saboda na ba da mai hidimata ga mijina.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Issakar.

Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

19 Liyatu ta sāke yin ciki ta kuma haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa na shida.

And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.

20 Sai Liyatu ta ce, “Allah ya ba ni kyauta mai daraja. A wannan lokaci mijina zai darajarta ni, domin na haifa masa’ya’ya maza shida.” Saboda haka ta ba shi suna Zebulun.

And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

21 Daga baya ta haifi’ya ta kuwa ba ta suna Dina.

After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

22 Sai Allah ya tuna da Rahila; ya saurare ta ya kuma buɗe mahaifarta.

Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.

23 Sai ta yi ciki ta kuma haifi ɗa ta ce, “Allah ya ɗauke mini kunyata.”

And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

24 Ta ba shi suna Yusuf, ta kuma ce, “Bari Ubangiji yă ƙara mini wani ɗa.”

And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.

25 Bayan Rahila ta haifi Yusuf, sai Yaƙub ya ce wa Laban, “Ka sallame ni don in koma ƙasata.

Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

26 Ba ni matana da’ya’yana, waɗanda na bauta maka dominsu, zan kuwa tafi. Ka dai san yadda na bauta maka.”

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

27 Amma Laban ya ce masa, “In na sami tagomashi daga gare ka, ina roƙonka ka zauna. Na gane ta wurin duba cewaUbangiji ya albarkace ni saboda kai.”

And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

28 Ya ƙara da cewa, “Faɗa albashinka, zan kuwa biya shi.”

Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.

29 Yaƙub ya ce masa, “Ka dai san yadda na yi maka aiki da kuma yadda dabbobinka suka yi yawa a hannuna.

Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

30 Kaɗan da kake da shi kafin zuwata ya ƙaru sosai, kuma Ubangiji ya albarkace ka a duk inda na tafi. Amma yanzu, yaushe zan yi wani abu domin gidana ni ma?”

For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

31 Sai Laban ya yi tambaya, “Me zan ba ka?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Kada ka ba ni wani abu. Amma in za ka yi mini abu guda ɗaya, zan ci gaba da kiwon garkunanka, ina kuma lura da su.

And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:

32 Bari in ratsa cikin dukan garkunanka yau in fid da masu dabbare-dabbare da tumaki babare-babare, da kowane ɗan rago baƙi, da dabbare-dabbare da babare-babare na awaki daga ciki, waɗannan ne za su zama ladana.

Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

33 Gaskiyata kuwa za tă zama mini shaida nan gaba, duk sa’ad da ka bincika a kan albashin da ka biya ni. Duk akuyar da take tawa da ba dabbare-dabbare ko babare-babare, ko ɗan ragon da ba baƙi ba, zai kasance sata na yi.”

And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

34 Sai Laban ya ce, “Na yarda. Bari yă zama yadda ka faɗa.”

And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

35 A wannan rana ya ware dukan bunsurai da suke dabbare-dabbare da masu zāne-zāne, da dukan awakin da suke dabbare-dabbare (duka da suke da fari-fari a jikinsu), da dukan baƙaƙen tumaki, ya sa su a hannun’ya’yansa maza.

So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

36 Sa’an nan ya sa nisan tafiya kwana uku tsakaninsa da Yaƙub, yayinda Yaƙub ya ci gaba da lura da sauran garkunan Laban Yaƙub.

And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.

37 Yaƙub ya samo ɗanyen reshen itatuwan aduruku, da na katambiri, da na durumi, ya ɓare ya bar fararen cikin katakon rassan.

Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.

38 Sa’an nan ya zuba ɓararre rassan cikin dukan kwamame na banruwa saboda su kasance a gaban garkunan sa’ad da suka zo shan ruwa. A sa’ad da garkunan suke barbara suka kuma zo shan ruwa,

And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

39 sai su yi barbara a gaban rassan. Sai kuwa su haifi ƙanana masu zāne dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare ko masu zāne-zāne.

And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.

40 Sai Yaƙub yă ware ƙananan garken dabam, amma sai yă sa sauran su fuskanci dabbobin da suke dabbare-dabbare da kuma baƙaƙe da suke na Laban. Ta haka ya ware garkuna dabam domin kansa bai kuwa haɗa su da dabbobin Laban ba.

These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.

41 A duk sa’ad da ƙarfafa dabbobi mata suke barbara, Yaƙub yakan zuba rassan a kwamame a gaban dabbobin saboda su yi barbara kusa da rassan,

And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

42 amma in dabbobin raunana ne, ba ya sa su a can. Saboda haka raunanan dabbobi suka zama na Laban, ƙarfafan kuma suka zama na Yaƙub.

But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

43 Ta haka mutumin ya zama riƙaƙƙe mai arziki, ya kasance mai manya-manyan garkuna, da bayi mata da maza, da raƙuma da kuma jakuna.

So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
