Farawa 33
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.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to 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 he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3 Shi kansa ya sha gabansu, ya rusuna har ƙasa sau bakwai, kafin ya kai kusa da inda ɗan’uwansa Isuwa yake.
And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to 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.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: 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.”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given to thy servant.
6 Sai matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansu suka matso kusa suka durƙusa.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they 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.
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and 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.”
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight 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.”
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
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.
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been 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 that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 Sa’an nan Isuwa ya ce, “Bari mu tafi, zan yi maka rakiya.”
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go 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 to him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will 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 I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children are able to endure, until I come to my lord to 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.”
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 Saboda haka a wannan rana Isuwa ya kama hanyar komawa zuwa Seyir.
So Esau returned that day on his way to 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.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is 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 to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent 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 piece of land, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 A can ya kafa bagade ya kuma kira shi El Elohe Isra’ila.
And he built there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.
