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.
Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
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.
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Shi kansa ya sha gabansu, ya rusuna har ƙasa sau bakwai, kafin ya kai kusa da inda ɗan’uwansa Isuwa yake.
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until 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.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, 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.”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Sai matan nan biyu masu hidima da’ya’yansu suka matso kusa suka durƙusa.
Then the servants came near with 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.
Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near 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.”
Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favour 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.”
Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
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.
Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favour in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were 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.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
12 Sa’an nan Isuwa ya ce, “Bari mu tafi, zan yi maka rakiya.”
Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
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.
Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks 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.”
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, 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.”
Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favour 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.
Jacob travelled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. 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.
Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
19 Ya sayi fili daga’ya’yan Hamor maza, mahaifin Shekem inda ya kafa tentinsa, a bakin azurfa ɗari.
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20 A can ya kafa bagade ya kuma kira shi El Elohe Isra’ila.
He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
