Farawa 31
1 Yaƙub ya ji cewa’ya’ya Laban mazan suna cewa, “Yaƙub ya kwashe dukan abin da mahaifinmu yake da shi, ya kuma sami dukan wannan arziki daga abin da yake na mahaifinmu.”
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.
2 Yaƙub kuma ya lura cewa halin Laban gare shi ya canja ba kamar yadda yake a dā ba.
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.
3 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Koma ƙasar kakanninka da kuma danginka, zan kuwa kasance tare da kai.”
And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
4 Saboda haka Yaƙub ya aika a ce wa Rahila da Liyatu su zo jeji inda garkunan suke.
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
5 Sai ya ce musu, “Na ga cewa halin mahaifinku gare ni ba kamar yadda dā yake ba, amma Allah na mahaifina yana tare da ni.
and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Kun san cewa na yi aiki wa mahaifinku da dukan ƙarfina,
And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 duk da haka mahaifinku ya cuce ni ta wurin sauya albashina sau goma. Amma dai, Allah bai yardar masa yă yi mini lahani ba.
And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 In ya ce, ‘Dabbare-dabbare ne za su zama ladanka,’ sai dukan garkunan su haifi dabbare-dabbare, in kuma ya ce, ‘Masu zāne-zāne ne za su zama ladanka,’ sai dukan garkunan su haifi ƙananan masu zāne-zāne.
If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
9 Ta haka Allah ya kwashe dabbobin mahaifinku ya ba ni.
And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
10 “A lokacin ɗaukar cikin garken, na taɓa yin mafarki inda na ga bunsuran da suke barbara da garken, masu dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare, ko masu zāne-zāne ne.
And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
11 Sai mala’ikan Allah ya ce mini a mafarkin, ‘Yaƙub.’ Sai na amsa na ce, ‘Ga ni.’
And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
12 Ya ce, ‘Ɗaga idanunka ka gani, dukan bunsuran da suke hawan garken, masu dabbare-dabbare, ko babare-babare, ko masu zāne-zāne ne, gama na ga dukan abin da Laban yake yin maka.
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
13 Ni ne Allah na Betel, inda ka zuba wa al’amudi mai, da kuma inda ka yi mini alkawari. Yanzu ka bar wannan ƙasa nan take, ka koma ƙasarka ta ainihi.’”
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
14 Sai Rahila da Liyatu suka amsa suka ce, “Muna da wani rabo a gādon kayan mahaifinmu ne?
And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Ba kamar baƙi ne yake ɗaukarmu ba? Ba sayar da mu kaɗai ya yi ba, har ma ya yi amfani da abin da aka biya saboda mu.
Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.
16 Tabbatacce dukan dukiyar da Allah ya kwashe daga mahaifinmu ya zama namu da’ya’yanmu. Saboda haka ka yi duk abin da Allah ya faɗa maka.”
For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
17 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya sa’ya’yansa da matansa a kan raƙuma,
And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
18 ya kuma kora dukan dabbobinsa, suka ja gabansa, tare da dukan abubuwan da ya samu a Faddan Aram, don su tafi wurin mahaifinsa Ishaku a ƙasar Kan’ana.
and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
19 Sa’ad da Laban ya tafi don askin tumakinsa, sai Rahila ta sace gumakan gidan mahaifinta.
And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
20 Yaƙub kuwa ya ruɗe Laban mutumin Aram da bai sanar da shi zai gudu ba.
And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
21 Saboda haka ya gudu da dukan abin da ya mallaka, ya ƙetare Kogi, ya nufi yankin tuddan Gileyad.
And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
22 A rana ta uku, sai aka faɗa wa Laban cewa Yaƙub ya gudu.
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 Sai Laban ya ɗauki danginsa tare da shi, ya bi bayan Yaƙub har kwana bakwai, ya kuma same shi a yankin tuddan Gileyad.
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
24 Sai Allah ya bayyana ga Laban mutumin Aram a mafarki da dare, ya ce masa, “Ka yi hankali kada ka faɗa wa Yaƙub wani abu, ko mai kyau ko marar kyau.”
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Yaƙub ya riga ya kafa tentinsa a yankin tuddan Gileyad sa’ad da Laban ya same shi. Laban da danginsa suka kafa sansani a can su ma.
And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
26 Sai Laban ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Me ke nan ka yi? Ka ruɗe ni, ka kuma ɗauki’ya’yana mata kamar kamammun yaƙi.
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
27 Me ya sa ka gudu a ɓoye ka kuma ruɗe ni? Me ya sa ba ka faɗa mini don in sallame ka da farin ciki da waƙoƙi haɗe da kiɗin ganguna da garayu ba?
Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;
28 Ba ka ma bari in sumbaci jikokina da’ya’yana mata in yi musu bankwana ba. Ka yi wauta.
and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
29 Ina da iko in cuce ka; amma jiya da dare Allahn mahaifinka ya faɗa mini, ‘Ka yi hankali kada ka faɗa wa Yaƙub wani abu ko mai kyau ko marar kyau.’
It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 Yanzu ka gudu domin kana marmari komawa gidan mahaifinka. Amma don me ka sace mini gumakana?”
And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?
31 Yaƙub ya amsa wa Laban, “Na ji tsoro ne, domin na yi tsammani za ka ƙwace’ya’yanka mata daga gare ni ƙarfi da yaji.
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32 Amma in ka sami wani wanda yake da gumakanka, ba zai rayu ba. Kai da kanka ka duba a gaban danginmu, ko akwai wani abin da yake naka a nan tare da ni; in ka gani, ka ɗauka.” Yaƙub dai bai san cewa Rahila ta sace gumakan ba.
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Saboda haka Laban ya shiga tentin Yaƙub, ya shiga tentin Liyatu da kuma tentuna matan nan biyu bayi, amma bai sami kome ba. Bayan ya fita daga tentin Liyatu, sai ya shiga tentin Rahila.
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Rahila fa ta kwashe gumakan gidan ta sa su cikin sirdin raƙumi, ta kuma zauna a kansu. Laban ya bincika cikin kowane abu a tentin amma bai sami kome ba.
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
35 Sai Rahila ta ce wa mahaifinta, “Kada ka yi fushi, ranka yă daɗe da ban tashi tsaye a gabanka ba; gama ina al’adar mata ne.” Saboda haka ya bincika amma bai sami gumakan gidan ba.
And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
36 Yaƙub ya fusata, ya kuma yi wa Laban faɗa. Ya tambayi Laban, “Mene ne laifina? Wanda zunubi na yi da kake farautata?
And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
37 Yanzu da ka bincika dukan kayayyakina, me ka samu da yake na gidanka? Kawo shi nan a gaban danginka da kuma dangina, bari su zama alƙali tsakaninmu biyu.
Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
38 “Na kasance tare da kai shekaru ashirin. Tumakinka da awakinka ba su yi ɓarin ciki ba, ban kuwa ci raguna daga garkunanka ba.
These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
39 Ban kawo dabbobinka da namun jeji suka yayyaga; na kuma ɗauki hasarar ba? Ka nemi in biya dukan abin da aka sace da rana ko da dare.
What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 Yanayin da na kasance ke nan, da rana na sha zafin rana da dare kuma na sha sanyi, ga rashin barci.
Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
41 Haka ya kasance shekaru ashirin da na yi a gidanka. Na yi maka aiki shekaru goma sha huɗu domin’ya’yanka mata biyu, na kuma yi shekaru shida domin garkunanka, ka kuma canja albashina sau goma.
I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 Da ba don Allah na mahaifina, Allah na Ibrahim da kuma Tsoron Ishaku ya kasance tare da ni ba, tabbatacce da ka sallame ni hannu wofi. Amma Allah ya ga wahalata da famar hannuwana, ya kuwa tsawata maka da dare jiya.”
Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
43 Laban ya amsa wa Yaƙub, “Matan,’ya’yana ne,’ya’yansu,’ya’yana ne, garkunan kuma garkunana ne. Dukan abin da kake gani, nawa ne. Duk da haka me zan yi a rana ta yau ga waɗannan’ya’yana mata, ko kuma ga’ya’yan da suka haifa?
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
44 Zo, bari mu ƙulla yarjejjeniya, da kai da ni, bari kuma ta kasance shaida a tsakaninmu.”
And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
45 Saboda haka Yaƙub ya ɗauki dutse ya kafa yă zama al’amudi.
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
46 Ya ce wa danginsa. “Ku tattara waɗansu duwatsu.” Sai suka kwashe duwatsu suka tsiba, suka kuwa ci abinci a can kusa da tsibin.
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
47 Laban ya sa masa suna Yegar Sahaduta, Yaƙub kuwa ya kira shi Galeyed.
And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban ya ce, “Wannan tsibi, shi ne shaida tsakaninka da ni a yau.” Shi ya sa aka kira shi Galeyed.
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
49 Aka kuma kira shi Mizfa, domin ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sa ido tsakanin ni da kai sa’ad da muka rabu da juna.
— and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
50 Laban ya ce in ka wulaƙanta’ya’yana mata, ko ka auri waɗansu mata ban da’ya’yana mata, ko da yake babu wani da yake tare da mu, ka tuna cewa Allah shi ne shaida tsakaninka da ni.”
if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
51 Laban ya kuma ce wa Yaƙub, “Ga wannan tsibi, ga kuma wannan al’amudin da na kafa tsakaninka da ni.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
52 Wannan tsibin shi ne shaida, wannan al’amudi kuma shaida ne, cewa ba zan tsallake wannan tsibi zuwa gefenka don in cuce ka ba, kai kuma ba za ka tsallake wannan tsibi da al’amudi zuwa gefena don ka cuce ni ba.
[let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
53 Bari Allah na Ibrahim da Allah na Nahor, Allah na iyayensu, yă zama alƙali tsakaninmu.” Saboda haka Yaƙub ya yi rantsuwa da sunan Tsoron mahaifinsa Ishaku.
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Ya miƙa hadaya a can a ƙasar tudu, ya kuma gayyaci danginsa zuwa wurin cin abinci. Bayan suka ci, sai suka kwana a can.
And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
55 Da sassafe kashegari sai Laban ya sumbaci jikokinsa da’ya’yansa mata, ya sa musu albarka. Sa’an nan ya yi bankwana da su, ya koma gida.
And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
