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!”

And Rachel sees that she has not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and says to Jacob, “Give me sons, and if there is none—I die.”

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

And Jacob’s anger burns against Rachel, and he says, “Am I in stead of God who has withheld from you 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 says, “Behold, my handmaid Bilhah, go in to her, and she bears on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from her”;

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

and she gives Bilhah her maidservant to him for a wife, and Jacob goes in to her;

5 ta kuwa yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa.

and Bilhah conceives, and bears a son to Jacob,

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.

and Rachel says, “God has decided for me, and has also listened to my voice, and gives a son to me”; therefore she has called his name Dan.

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

And Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, conceives again, and bears a second son to Jacob,

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

and Rachel says, “With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, indeed, I have prevailed”; and she calls his name Napthali.

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.

And Leah sees that she has ceased from bearing, and she takes Zilpah her maidservant, and gives her to Jacob for a wife;

10 Baranyar Liyatu, Zilfa ta haifa wa Yaƙub ɗa.

and Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, bears a son to Jacob,

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

and Leah says, “A troop is coming”; and she calls his name Gad.

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

And Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, bears a second son to Jacob,

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 says, “Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me blessed”; and she calls his 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.”

And Reuben goes in the days of wheat-harvest, and finds love-apples in the field, and brings them to his mother Leah, and Rachel says to Leah, “Please give to me of the love-apples of your son.”

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 says to her, “Is your taking my husband a little thing, that you have also taken the love-apples of my son?” And Rachel says, “He therefore lies with you tonight, for your son’s love-apples.”

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 comes in from the field at evening; and Leah goes to meet him and says, “You come in to me, for [in] hiring I have hired you with my son’s love-apples”; and he lies with her during that night.

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

And God listens to Leah, and she conceives, and bears a son to Jacob, a fifth,

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

and Leah says, “God has given my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband”; and she calls his name Issachar.

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

And Leah conceives again, and she bears a sixth son to Jacob,

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 Leah says, “God has endowed me—a good dowry; this time my husband dwells with me, for I have borne six sons to him”; and she calls his name Zebulun;

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

and afterward she has borne a daughter, and calls her name Dinah.

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

And God remembers Rachel, and God listens to her, and opens her womb,

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

and she conceives and bears a son, and says, “God has gathered up my reproach”;

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

and she calls his name Joseph, saying, “YHWH is adding 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 comes to pass, when Rachel has borne Joseph, that Jacob says to Laban, “Send me away, and I 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.”

give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and I go; for you have known my service which I have served 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 says to him, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes—I have observed diligently that YHWH blesses me for your sake.”

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

He also says, “Define your hire to me, and I give.”

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

And he says to him, “You have known that which I have served you [in], and that which your substance was 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 is] little which you have had at my appearance, and it breaks forth into a multitude, and YHWH blesses you at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for 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 he says, “What do I give to you?” And Jacob says, “You do not give me anything; if you do this thing for me, I turn back; I have delight; I watch your flock;

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 pass through all your flock today to turn aside every speckled and spotted sheep from there, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats—and it has been 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.”

and my righteousness has answered for me in the day to come, when it comes in for my hire before your face—everyone which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs—it is stolen with me.”

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

And Laban says, “Behold, O that it were according to your 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 turns aside during that day the striped and the spotted male goats, and all the speckled and the spotted female goats, everyone that [has] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he gives 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 sets a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.

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

And Jacob takes to himself a rod of fresh poplar and almond and plane-tree, and peels in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] 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 sets up the rods which he has peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (where the flock comes to drink), in front of the flock, that they may conceive in their coming 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 conceive at the rods, and the flock bears striped, speckled, and spotted ones.

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 has parted the lambs, and he puts the face of the flock toward the striped, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he sets his own droves by themselves, and has not set them near 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 has come to pass, whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob sets the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to 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.

and when the flock is feeble, he does not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban’s, and the strong ones 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 increases very exceedingly, and has many flocks, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and donkeys.
