And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?

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.”

And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

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

And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes.

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.”

And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

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.

And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.

And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

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

Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee.

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 to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in.

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

Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them].

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

And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me.

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 it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

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 to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them.

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 all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats—[this] shall be my reward.

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 my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.

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

And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word.

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.

And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand 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 he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.

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

And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.

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 laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.

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

So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].

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.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.

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 it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.

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 he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones 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.

And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
