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?

And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to 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 to her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken 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 to me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

And it came to pass, 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 thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done 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, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.

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 to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were 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 is now increased to a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my 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 any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy 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 will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from there all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle 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 answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.
34 Sai Laban ya ce, “Na yarda. Bari yă zama yadda ka faɗa.”
And Laban said, Behold, I 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 male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hands 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 between 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 to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and peeled white stripes in them, and made 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 before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive 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 before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped, 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, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban’s cattle.
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, whenever the stronger cattle conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle 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 cattle 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 many cattle, and female and male servants, and camels, and donkeys.
