When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."

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

Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, 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.”

She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."

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

So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.

5 ta kuwa yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa.

Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob 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.

Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.

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

Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob 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.

Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him 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 Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

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

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.

Leah said, "Happy am I, for the women will call me happy." So she named him 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.”

Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your 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.”

She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your 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.

Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.

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

God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore 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.

Leah said, "God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

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

Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

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

God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.

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

She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."

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

So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."

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

It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my 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 you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given 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.”

Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."

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

He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."

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

He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done 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 you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"

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.

He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of 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 your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.

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 my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."

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

Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."

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.

That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in 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.

He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured 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.

Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.

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,

He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred 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.

the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore 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.

Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into 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,

It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;

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 for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be 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.

Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
