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, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled 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 his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

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.”

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been 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.

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near 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.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

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

So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

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.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing 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.

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

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

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

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.

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name 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 El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

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

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

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 spoke 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 set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

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

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

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.

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

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.”

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

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

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

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

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

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

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

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

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

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.

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

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

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 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.

And 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.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him 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.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28 Ishaku ya rayu shekaru ɗari da tamanin,

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

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.

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
