Farawa 32
1 Yaƙub shi ma ya kama hanyarsa, sai mala’ikun Allah suka sadu da shi.
And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
2 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya gan su sai ya ce, “Wannan sansanin Allah ne!” Saboda haka ya kira wannan wuri Mahanayim.
and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
3 Sai Yaƙub ya aiki manzanni su sha gabansa zuwa wurin ɗan’uwansa Isuwa a ƙasar Seyir, a ƙauyen Edom.
And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
4 Ya umarce su, “Ga abin da za ku faɗa wa maigidana Isuwa, ‘Bawanka Yaƙub ya ce, na yi zama tare da Laban na kuwa kasance a can sai yanzu.
and commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger until now;
5 Ina da shanu da jakuna, tumaki da awaki, bayi maza da mata. Yanzu ina aika da wannan saƙo zuwa ga ranka yă daɗe, don in sami tagomashi a idanunka.’”
and I have ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
6 Sa’ad da manzannin suka komo wurin Yaƙub, suka ce, “Mun tafi wurin ɗan’uwanka Isuwa, yanzu kuwa yana zuwa ya sadu da kai, da kuma mutum ɗari huɗu tare da shi.”
And the messengers return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him”;
7 Da tsoro mai yawa da kuma damuwa, Yaƙub ya rarraba mutanen da suke tare da shi ƙungiyoyi biyu, haka ma garkunan tumaki da awaki, da garkunan shanu da raƙuma.
and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 Ya yi tunani, “In Isuwa ya zo ya fāɗa wa ƙungiya ɗaya, sai ƙungiya ɗayan da ta ragu ta tsira.”
and says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
9 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya yi addu’a, “Ya Allah na mahaifina Ibrahim, Allah na mahaifina Ishaku. Ya Ubangiji kai da ka ce mini, ‘Koma ƙasarka zuwa wurin danginka, zan kuma sa ka yi albarka.’
And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
10 Ban cancanci dukan alheri da amincin da ka nuna wa bawanka ba. Da sanda kaɗai nake sa’ad da na ƙetare wannan Urdun, amma ga shi yanzu na zama ƙungiyoyi biyu.
I have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 Ka cece ni, ina roƙonka daga hannun ɗan’uwana Isuwa, gama ina tsoro zai zo yă fāɗa mini, yă karkashe mu duka,’ya’ya da iyaye.
Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
12 Amma ka riga ka faɗa, ‘Tabbatacce zan sa ka yi albarka. Zan kuma sa zuriyarka su zama kamar yashin teku da ba a iya ƙirgawa.’”
and You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.”
13 Ya kwana a can, daga cikin abin da yake tare da shi kuwa, ya zaɓi kyauta domin ɗan’uwansa Isuwa,
And he lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
14 awaki ɗari biyu da bunsurai ashirin, tumaki ɗari biyu da raguna ashirin,
female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
15 raƙuma mata talatin tare da ƙananansu, shanu arba’in da bijimai goma, jakuna mata ashirin da kuma jakuna maza goma.
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
16 Ya sa su a ƙarƙashin kulawar bayinsa, kowane kashin garke ya kasance a ware. Ya ce wa bayinsa, “Ku sha gabana, ku kuma ba da rata tsakanin garke da garke.”
and he gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between drove and drove.”
17 Ya umarci wanda yake jagorar ya ce, “Sa’ad da ɗan’uwana Isuwa ya sadu da ku ya kuma yi tambaya, ‘Ku na wane ne, ina za ku, kuma wane ne mai dukan dabbobin nan da suke gabanku?’
And he commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
18 Sai ku ce, ‘Na bawanka Yaƙub ne. Kyauta ce wa maigidana Isuwa, yana kuma tafe a bayanmu.’”
Then you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and behold, he also [is] behind us.”
19 Yaƙub ya kuma umarci na biyu da na uku da kuma dukan waɗansu da suka bi garkunan, “Sai ku faɗa irin abu guda ga Isuwa sa’ad da kuka sadu da shi.
And he commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding him,
20 Ku kuma tabbata kun ce, ‘Bawanka Yaƙub yana tafe a bayanmu.’” Gama Yaƙub ya yi tunani cewa, “Zan kwantar da ran Isuwa da waɗannan kyautai, kafin mu sadu fuska da fuska, wataƙila yă karɓe shi.”
and you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
21 Saboda haka kyautai Yaƙub suka sha gabansa, amma shi kansa ya kwana a sansani.
and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
22 A wannan dare Yaƙub ya tashi ya ɗauki matansa biyu, da matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansa goma sha ɗaya ya haye rafin Yabbok.
And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of Jabbok;
23 Bayan ya sa suka haye rafin, haka ma ya tura dukan mallakarsa zuwa hayen.
and he takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
24 Saboda haka sai aka bar Yaƙub shi kaɗai. Sai ga wani mutum ya zo ya yi kokawa da shi har wayewar gari.
And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
25 Da mutumin ya ga cewa bai fi ƙarfin Yaƙub ba, sai ya bugi kwarin ƙashin cinyar Yaƙub, sai gaɓar ƙashin cinyarsa ya goce, a sa’ad da yake kokawa da mutumin.
and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with Him;
26 Sa’an nan mutumin ya ce, “Bar ni in tafi, gama gari ya waye.” Amma Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Ba zan bar ka ka tafi ba, sai ka sa mini albarka.”
and He says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed me.”
27 Mutumin ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Mene ne sunanka?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “Yaƙub.”
And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
28 Sai mutumin ya ce, “Sunanka ba zai ƙara zama Yaƙub ba, amma Isra’ila, gama ka yi kokawa da Allah da mutane, ka kuwa yi rinjaye.”
And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
29 Yaƙub ya ce, “Ina roƙonka, faɗa mini sunanka.” Amma mutumin ya amsa ya ce, “Me ya sa kake tambayata sunana?” Sa’an nan ya albarkace shi.
And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.
30 Saboda haka Yaƙub ya kira wurin Feniyel, yana cewa, “Domin na ga Allah fuska da fuska, duk da haka aka bar ni da rai.”
And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
31 Rana ta yi sama a sa’ad da ya wuce Fenuwel yana kuma ɗingishi saboda ƙashin cinyarsa.
and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
32 Wannan ya sa har wa yau Isra’ilawa ba sa cin jijiyar ƙashin cinya wadda take a kwarin ƙashin cinya, domin an taɓa kwarin ƙashin cinyar Yaƙub kusa da jijiyar.
therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
