Farawa 35

1 Sa’an nan Allah ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Haura zuwa Betel ka yi zama a can, ka kuma gina bagade a can wa Allah wanda ya bayyana gare ka sa’ad da kake gudu daga ɗan’uwanka Isuwa.”

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

2 Saboda haka Yaƙub ya ce wa gidansa da kuma dukan waɗanda suke tare da shi, “Ku zubar da baƙin allolin da kuke da su, ku tsarkake kanku, ku kuma canja tufafinku.

Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:

3 Sa’an nan ku zo, mu haura zuwa Betel, inda zan gina bagade wa Allah wanda ya amsa mini a ranar wahalata, wanda kuma ya kasance tare da ni a dukan inda na tafi.”

And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

4 Saboda haka suka ba Yaƙub dukan baƙin allolin da suke da su, da zoban da suke kunnuwansu, sai Yaƙub ya binne su a ƙarƙashin itacen oak a Shekem.

Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.

5 Sa’an nan suka kama hanya, tsoron Allah kuwa ya kama dukan garuruwan da suke kewayensu har babu wanda ya iya bin su.

So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.

6 Yaƙub da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka zo Luz (wato, Betel) a ƙasar Kan’ana.

And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.

7 A can ya gina bagade, ya kuma kira wurin El Betel, gama a can ne Allah ya bayyana kansa gare shi sa’ad da yake gudu daga ɗan’uwansa.

And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

8 To, Debora, ungozomar Rebeka ta rasu aka kuma binne ta a ƙarƙashin itacen oak, ƙasa da Betel. Saboda haka aka kira wurin Allon Bakut.

And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

9 Bayan Yaƙub ya komo daga Faddan Aram, sai Allah ya bayyana gare shi, ya kuma albarkace shi.

Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

10 Allah ya ce masa, “Sunanka Yaƙub ne, amma ba za a ƙara kira ka Yaƙub ba; sunanka zai zama Isra’ila.” Saboda haka ya ba shi suna Isra’ila.

Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

11 Sai Allah ya ce masa, “Ni ne Allah Maɗaukaki, ka yi ta haihuwa, ka kuma riɓaɓɓanya. Al’umma da tarin al’ummai za su fito daga gare ka, sarakuna kuma za su fito daga jikinka.

And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

12 Ƙasar da na ba wa Ibrahim da Ishaku, zan kuma ba ka, zan kuma ba da wannan ƙasa ga zuriyarka a bayanka.”

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.

13 Sa’an nan Allah ya tashi sama daga gare shi a wurin da ya yi magana da shi.

Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

14 Yaƙub kuwa ya kafa al’amudin dutse a inda Allah ya yi magana da shi, ya zuba hadaya ta sha a kansa; ya kuma zuba mai a kansa.

And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

15 Yaƙub ya kira inda Allah ya yi magana da shi, Betel.

And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

16 Sa’an nan suka tashi daga Betel. Yayinda suna da ɗan nisa da Efrat, sai Rahila ta fara naƙuda ta kuwa sha wahala sosai.

So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

17 Sa’ad da take cikin zafin haihuwa, sai macen da ta karɓi haihuwar ta ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro, gama yanzu kin sami wani ɗa.”

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

18 Yayinda take jan numfashinta na ƙarshe, sai ta ba wa ɗanta suna Ben-Oni. Amma mahaifinsa ya kira shi Benyamin.

And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.

19 Ta haka Rahila ta rasu, aka kuma binne ta a hanya zuwa Efrata (wato, Betlehem).

So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

20 Yaƙub ya kafa al’amudi bisa kabarinta, al’amudin kabarin Rahila ke nan, wanda yake can har wa yau.

And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.

21 Isra’ila ya yi gaba, ya kafa tentinsa gaba da Migdal Eder.

And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.

22 Yayinda Isra’ila yana zama a wancan yanki, Ruben ya shiga ya kwana da Bilha ƙwarƙwarar mahaifinsa, Isra’ila kuwa ya ji labari. Yaƙub ya haifi’ya’ya maza goma sha biyu.

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

23 ’Ya’yan Liyatu maza, Ruben shi ne ɗan fari na Yaƙub. Sauran su ne, Simeyon, Lawi, Yahuda, Issakar da Zebulun.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

24 ’Ya’yan Rahila maza su ne, Yusuf da Benyamin.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 ’Ya’yan Bilha maza, mai hidimar Rahila su ne, Dan da Naftali.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

26 ’Ya’yan Zilfa maza, mai hidimar Liyatu su ne, Gad da Asher. Waɗannan su ne’ya’yan Yaƙub maza, waɗanda aka haifa masa a Faddan Aram.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

27 Yaƙub ya dawo gida wurin mahaifinsa Ishaku a Mamre, kusa da Kiriyat Arba (wato, Hebron), inda Ibrahim da Ishaku suka zauna.

And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.

28 Ishaku ya rayu shekaru ɗari da tamanin,

And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.

29 sa’an nan ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, ya kuwa mutu, aka kuma tara shi ga mutanensa da kyakkyawan tsufa da kuma cikakken shekaru.’Ya’yansa maza, Isuwa da Yaƙub suka binne shi.

Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
