1 Yaƙub ya ɗaga ido ke nan, sai ga Isuwa yana zuwa tare da mutanensa ɗari huɗu; saboda haka sai ya rarraba’ya’yan wa Liyatu, Rahila da kuma matan nan biyu masu hidima.
Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
2 Ya sa matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansu a gaba, Liyatu da’ya’yanta biye, sa’an nan Rahila da Yusuf a baya.
and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
3 Shi kansa ya sha gabansu, ya rusuna har ƙasa sau bakwai, kafin ya kai kusa da inda ɗan’uwansa Isuwa yake.
but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
4 Amma Isuwa ya ruga a guje ya sadu da Yaƙub ya rungume shi; ya faɗa a wuyansa ya sumbace shi. Suka kuma yi kuka.
Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they wept.
5 Sa’an nan Isuwa ya ɗaga ido ya ga mata da’ya’ya. Ya yi tambaya, “Su wane ne waɗannan tare da kai?” Yaƙub ya amsa, “Su ne’ya’yan da Allah cikin alheri ya ba bawanka.”
Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
6 Sai matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansu suka matso kusa suka durƙusa.
Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
7 Biye da su, Liyatu da’ya’yanta suka zo suka rusuna. A ƙarshe duka, sai Yusuf da Rahila suka zo, su ma suka rusuna.
Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
8 Isuwa ya yi tambaya, “Me kake nufi da dukan abubuwan nan da na sadu da su ana korarsu?” Sai Yaƙub ya ce, “Don in sami tagomashi a idanunka ne, ranka yă daɗe.”
Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, —To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
9 Amma Isuwa ya ce, “Na riga na sami abin da ya ishe ni, ɗan’uwana. Riƙe abin da kake da shi don kanka.”
Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
10 Sai Yaƙub ya ce, “A’a, ina roƙonka, in na sami tagomashi a idanunka, sai ka karɓi wannan kyautai daga gare ni. Gama ganin fuskarka kamar ganin fuskar Allah ne, yanzu da ka karɓe ni da farin ciki.
Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast well-pleased with me.
11 Ina roƙonka ka karɓi kyautar da aka kawo maka, gama Allah ya yi mini alheri kuma ina da kome da nake bukata.” Ganin yadda Yaƙub ya nace, sai Isuwa ya karɓa.
Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
12 Sa’an nan Isuwa ya ce, “Bari mu tafi, zan yi maka rakiya.”
Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
13 Amma Yaƙub ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ka san cewa’ya’yan ƙanana ne, dole in lura da tumaki da shanun da suke shayar da jariransu. In aka kore su da gaggawa a rana guda kaɗai, dukan dabbobin za su mutu.
And he said unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks die.
14 Saboda haka bari ranka yă daɗe yă sha gaban bawansa, ni kuma in tafi a hankali bisa ga saurin abin da ake kora a gabana da kuma saurin’ya’yan, sai na iso wurinka ranka yă daɗe, a Seyir.”
Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.
15 Sai Isuwa ya ce, “To, bari in bar waɗansu mutanena tare da kai.” Yaƙub ya ce, “Amma me ya sa za ka yi haka? Bari dai in sami tagomashi a idanunka ranka yă daɗe.”
Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
16 Saboda haka a wannan rana Isuwa ya kama hanyar komawa zuwa Seyir.
So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
17 Yaƙub kuwa, ya tafi Sukkot, inda ya gina wuri domin kansa, ya kuma yi bukkoki domin dabbobinsa. Shi ya sa aka kira wurin Sukkot.
But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
18 Bayan Yaƙub ya zo daga Faddan Aram, ya iso lafiya a birnin Shekem a Kan’ana, ya kuma kafa sansani a ƙofar birni.
And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in from Padan-aram, —and he encamped before the city.
19 Ya sayi fili daga’ya’yan Hamor maza, mahaifin Shekem inda ya kafa tentinsa, a bakin azurfa ɗari.
And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
20 A can ya kafa bagade ya kuma kira shi El Elohe Isra’ila.
And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
