And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob: 'Give me children, or else I die.'

And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said: 'Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee 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 she said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may be builded up through her.'

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

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.

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.”

And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, 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 she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall 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 from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.

And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'

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

And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: 'Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to 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 served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my 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 unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'

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

And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, 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.

And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared 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 which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'

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 he said: 'What shall I give thee?' And Jacob said: 'Thou shalt not give me aught; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.

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.

I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.

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.”

So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'

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

And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might 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 removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and 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 three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

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 him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in 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 set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.

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 the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

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 — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto 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 it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among 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 when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger 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 increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
