Immediately, Abimelech called for Isaac and exclaimed, “She is obviously your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” “Because I was afraid someone would kill me to get her from me,” Isaac replied.

Saboda haka Abimelek ya aika Ishaku yă je, sa’an nan ya ce, “Tabbatacce ita matarka ce! Me ya sa ka ce, ‘Ita ’yar’uwata ce?’ ” Ishaku ya amsa masa ya ce, “Don na yi tsammani zan rasa raina saboda ita.”

“How could you do this to us?” Abimelech exclaimed. “One of my people might easily have taken your wife and slept with her, and you would have made us guilty of great sin.”

Sa’an nan Abimelek ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi mana? Da a ce wani daga mazanmu ya kwana da matarka, ai, da ka jawo laifi a kanmu.”

Then Abimelech issued a public proclamation: “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be put to death!”

Saboda haka Abimelek ya yi umarni ga dukan mutane. “Duk wanda ya fitine wannan mutum ko matarsa, tabbatacce za a kashe shi.”

When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.

Ishaku ya shuka hatsi a wannan ƙasa, a shekaran nan ya yi girbi ninki ɗari, domin Ubangiji ya albarkace shi.

He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.

Mutumin ya arzuta, arzikinsa ya yi ta haɓaka har ya zama attajiri.

He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.

Ya kasance da garkunan tumaki da na shanu da bayi masu yawa, har Filistiyawa suka yi ƙyashinsa.

So the Philistines filled up all of Isaac’s wells with dirt. These were the wells that had been dug by the servants of his father, Abraham.

Saboda haka dukan rijiyoyin da bayin mahaifinsa suka haƙa a kwanakin da mahaifinsa Ibrahim yake da rai, Filistiyawa sun toshe su, suka kuma ciccike su da ƙasa.

Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country. “Go somewhere else,” he said, “for you have become too powerful for us.”

Sai Abimelek ya ce wa Ishaku, “Fita daga cikinmu; ka fi ƙarfinmu.”

So Isaac moved away to the Gerar Valley, where he set up their tents and settled down.

Saboda haka Ishaku ya fita daga can, ya yi sansani a Kwarin Gerar, ya kuma zauna a can.

He reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had filled in after Abraham’s death. Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them.

Ishaku ya sāke tona rijiyoyi waɗanda dā aka haƙa a zamanin Ibrahim mahaifinsa, gama Filistiyawa suka tattoshe bayan mutuwar Ibrahim, ya kuma sa musu sunayen da mahaifinsa ya ba su.

Isaac’s servants also dug in the Gerar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water.

Barorin Ishaku suka haƙa cikin kwarin suka kuwa sami rijiya mai ruwa mai kyau a can.

But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring. “This is our water,” they said, and they argued over it with Isaac’s herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Esek (which means “argument”).

Amma makiyayan Gerar suka yi faɗa da na Ishaku suka ce, “Ruwan namu ne!” Saboda haka Ishaku ya ba wa rijiyar suna Esek, domin sun yi faɗa da shi.

Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “hostility”).

Sai suka haƙa wata rijiya, amma suka yi faɗa a kanta ita ma, saboda haka ya ce da ita Sitna.

Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”

Sai Ishaku ya matsa daga can ya sāke haƙa wata rijiyar, babu wani kuma da yi faɗa a kanta. Sai ya ba ta suna Rehobot, yana cewa, “Yanzu Ubangiji ya ba mu wuri, za mu kuwa yi ta haihuwa a ƙasar.”

From there Isaac moved to Beersheba,

Daga can ya haura zuwa Beyersheba.

where the Lord appeared to him on the night of his arrival. “I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will do this because of my promise to Abraham, my servant.”

A wannan dare Ubangiji ya bayyana gare shi ya ce, “Ni ne Allah na mahaifinka Ibrahim. Kada ka ji tsoro, gama ina tare da kai, zan albarkace ka, zan kuma ƙara yawan zuriyarka saboda bawana Ibrahim.”

Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord . He set up his camp at that place, and his servants dug another well.

Sai Ishaku ya gina bagade a can, ya kuma kira bisa sunan Ubangiji . A can ya kafa tentinsa, a can kuma bayinsa suka haƙa wata rijiya.

One day King Abimelech came from Gerar with his adviser, Ahuzzath, and also Phicol, his army commander.

Ana cikin haka, sai Abimelek ya zo wurinsa daga Gerar, tare da Ahuzzat mai ba shi shawara da Fikol shugaban mayaƙansa.

“Why have you come here?” Isaac asked. “You obviously hate me, since you kicked me off your land.”

Ishaku ya tambaye su, “Me ya kawo ku gare ni, da yake kun yi gāba da ni, kuka kuma kore ni?”

They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you. So we want to enter into a sworn treaty with you. Let’s make a covenant.

Suka amsa, “Mun ga a zahiri cewa Ubangiji yana tare da kai; saboda haka muka ce, ‘Dole rantsuwa ta kasance tsakaninmu da kai.’ Bari mu yi yarjejjeniya da kai

Swear that you will not harm us, just as we have never troubled you. We have always treated you well, and we sent you away from us in peace. And now look how the Lord has blessed you!”

cewa ba za ka cuce mu ba, kamar yadda ba mu fitine ka ba, amma muka yi maka kirki, muka kuma sallame ka cikin salama. Yanzu kuwa kai albarkatacce ne na Ubangiji .”

So Isaac prepared a covenant feast to celebrate the treaty, and they ate and drank together.

Sai Ishaku ya shirya musu liyafa, suka ci suka kuma sha.

Early the next morning, they each took a solemn oath not to interfere with each other. Then Isaac sent them home again, and they left him in peace.

Kashegari da sassafe sai mutanen suka yi wa juna rantsuwa. Sa’an nan Ishaku ya sallame su, suka kuwa tafi cikin salama.

That very day Isaac’s servants came and told him about a new well they had dug. “We’ve found water!” they exclaimed.

A wannan rana bayin Ishaku suka zo suka faɗa masa game da rijiyar da suka haƙa. Suka ce, “Mun sami ruwa!”

So Isaac named the well Shibah (which means “oath”). And to this day the town that grew up there is called Beersheba (which means “well of the oath”).

Sai ya kira ta Shiba, don haka har wa yau ana kira garin Beyersheba.

At the age of forty, Esau married two Hittite wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon.

Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya kai shekaru arba’in da haihuwa, sai ya auri Yudit ’yar Beyeri mutumin Hitti, da kuma Basemat ’yar Elon mutumin Hitti.

But Esau’s wives made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.

Su ne suka zama sanadin baƙin ciki ga Ishaku da Rebeka.

One day when Isaac was old and turning blind, he called for Esau, his older son, and said, “My son.” “Yes, Father?” Esau replied.

Sa’ad da Ishaku ya tsufa idanunsa suka raunana har ba ya iya gani, sai ya kira Isuwa babban ɗansa ya ce masa, “Ɗana.” Isuwa kuwa ya amsa, ya ce “Ga ni.”

“I am an old man now,” Isaac said, “and I don’t know when I may die.

Ishaku ya ce, “Yanzu na tsufa kuma ban san ranar mutuwata ba.

Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows, and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

Saboda haka yanzu, ka ɗauki makamanka, kwari da bakanka, ka tafi jeji ka farauto mini nama.

Prepare my favorite dish, and bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die.”

Ka shirya mini irin abinci mai daɗin da nake so, ka kawo mini in ci, domin in sa maka albarka kafin in mutu.”

But Rebekah overheard what Isaac had said to his son Esau. So when Esau left to hunt for the wild game,

Ashe, Rebeka tana ji sa’ad da Ishaku ya yi wa ɗansa Isuwa magana. Da Isuwa ya tafi jeji don yă farauto nama yă kawo,

she said to her son Jacob, “Listen. I overheard your father say to Esau,

sai Rebeka ta ce wa ɗanta Yaƙub, “Ka ji nan, na ji mahaifinka ya ce wa ɗan’uwanka Isuwa,

‘Bring me some wild game and prepare me a delicious meal. Then I will bless you in the Lord ’s presence before I die.’

‘Kawo mini nama ka shirya mini abinci mai daɗi don in ci, in sa maka albarka a gaban Ubangiji kafin in mutu.’

Now, my son, listen to me. Do exactly as I tell you.

Saboda haka ɗana, ka saurara da kyau ka kuma yi abin da na faɗa maka.

Go out to the flocks, and bring me two fine young goats. I’ll use them to prepare your father’s favorite dish.

Je garke ka kawo mini awaki biyu kyawawa, domin in shirya abinci mai daɗi wa mahaifinka, kamar yadda dai yake so.

Then take the food to your father so he can eat it and bless you before he dies.”

Sa’an nan ka kai wa mahaifinka yă ci, domin yă sa maka albarka kafin yă mutu.”

“But look,” Jacob replied to Rebekah, “my brother, Esau, is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth.

Yaƙub ya ce wa mahaifiyarsa Rebeka, “Amma ɗan’uwana Isuwa mutum ne mai gashi a jiki, ni kuma jikina sumul yake.

What if my father touches me? He’ll see that I’m trying to trick him, and then he’ll curse me instead of blessing me.”

A ce baba ya tattaɓa ni fa? Zai zama kamar ina ruɗunsa ne, wannan fa zai jawo mini la’ana a maimakon albarka.”

But his mother replied, “Then let the curse fall on me, my son! Just do what I tell you. Go out and get the goats for me!”

Mahaifiyarsa ta ce masa, “Ɗana, bari la’anar tă fāɗo a kaina. Kai dai yi abin da na faɗa, jeka ka kawo mini su.”

So Jacob went out and got the young goats for his mother. Rebekah took them and prepared a delicious meal, just the way Isaac liked it.

Sai ya tafi ya kamo su, ya kawo wa mahaifiyarsa, ta kuwa shirya abinci mai daɗi, yadda mahaifinsa yake so.

Then she took Esau’s favorite clothes, which were there in the house, and gave them to her younger son, Jacob.

Sa’an nan Rebeka ta ɗauki riguna mafi kyau na Isuwa babban ɗanta, waɗanda take da su a gida ta sa wa ƙaramin ɗanta Yaƙub.

She covered his arms and the smooth part of his neck with the skin of the young goats.

Sai ta mamanne gashin awakin nan biyu a hannuwansa da bayan wuyarsa wanda ba gashi.

Then she gave Jacob the delicious meal, including freshly baked bread.

Sa’an nan ta ba wa ɗanta Yaƙub abinci mai daɗi da kuma burodin da ta yi.

So Jacob took the food to his father. “My father?” he said. “Yes, my son,” Isaac answered. “Who are you—Esau or Jacob?”

Shi kuwa ya tafi wurin mahaifinsa ya ce, “Babana.” Shi kuma ya amsa “I, ɗana, wane ne?”

Jacob replied, “It’s Esau, your firstborn son. I’ve done as you told me. Here is the wild game. Now sit up and eat it so you can give me your blessing.”

Yaƙub ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ni ne Isuwa ɗan farinka. Na yi yadda ka faɗa mini. Ina roƙonka tashi ka zauna ka ci naman, domin ka sa mini albarkarka.”

Isaac asked, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” “The Lord your God put it in my path!” Jacob replied.

Ishaku ya tambayi ɗansa, “Yaya aka yi ka samo shi da sauri haka, ɗana?” Yaƙub ya amsa ya ce, “ Ubangiji Allahnka ne ya ba ni nasara.”

Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come closer so I can touch you and make sure that you really are Esau.”

Sai Ishaku ya ce wa Yaƙub, “Zo kusa don in taɓa ka, ɗana, domin in sani ko tabbatacce kai ne ɗana Isuwa ko babu.”

So Jacob went closer to his father, and Isaac touched him. “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s,” Isaac said.

Yaƙub kuwa ya matsa kusa da mahaifinsa Ishaku, wanda ya tattaɓa shi, sa’an nan ya ce, “Muryan nan dai, muryar Yaƙub ce, amma hannuwan, hannuwan Isuwa ne.”

But he did not recognize Jacob, because Jacob’s hands felt hairy just like Esau’s. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.

Bai gane shi ba, gama hannuwansa suna da gashi kamar na ɗan’uwansa Isuwa, saboda haka ya albarkace shi.

“But are you really my son Esau?” he asked. “Yes, I am,” Jacob replied.

Ya tambaya, “Tabbatacce kai ne ɗana Isuwa?” Ya amsa ya ce “Ni ne.”

Then Isaac said, “Now, my son, bring me the wild game. Let me eat it, and then I will give you my blessing.” So Jacob took the food to his father, and Isaac ate it. He also drank the wine that Jacob served him.

Sa’an nan ya ce, “Ɗana, kawo mini naman da ka farauto in ci, domin in sa maka albarka.” Yaƙub ya kawo masa ya kuwa ci; ya kuma kawo masa ruwan inabi ya kuma sha.

Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come a little closer and kiss me, my son.”

Sa’an nan mahaifinsa Ishaku ya ce masa, “Zo nan, ɗana ka sumbace ni.”

So Jacob went over and kissed him. And when Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he was finally convinced, and he blessed his son. He said, “Ah! The smell of my son is like the smell of the outdoors, which the Lord has blessed!

Saboda haka ya je gunsa ya sumbace shi. Sa’ad da Ishaku ya ji ƙanshin rigunansa, sai ya sa masa albarka ya ce, “Aha, ƙanshin ɗana yana kama da ƙanshin jejin da Ubangiji ya sa wa albarka ne.

“From the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine.

Allah yă ba ka daga raɓar sama da kuma yalwar ƙasa, yalwar hatsi da sabon ruwan inabi.

May many nations become your servants, and may they bow down to you. May you be the master over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. All who curse you will be cursed, and all who bless you will be blessed.”

Bari al’ummai su bauta maka mutane kuma su rusuna maka. Ka zama shugaba a kan ’yan’uwanka bari kuma ’ya’yan mahaifiyarka su rusuna maka. Bari waɗanda suka la’anta ka, su la’antu; waɗanda kuma suka sa maka albarka, su sami albarka.”

As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and almost before Jacob had left his father, Esau returned from his hunt.

Bayan Ishaku ya gama sa masa albarka, Yaƙub yana fita daga mahaifinsa ke nan, sai ga ɗan’uwansa Isuwa ya dawo daga farauta.

Esau prepared a delicious meal and brought it to his father. Then he said, “Sit up, my father, and eat my wild game so you can give me your blessing.”

Shi ma ya shirya abinci mai daɗi ya kawo wa mahaifinsa. Sa’an nan ya ce masa, “Babana, tashi ka zauna ka ci daga abin da na farauto, domin ka sa mini albarka.”

But Isaac asked him, “Who are you?” Esau replied, “It’s your son, your firstborn son, Esau.”

Mahaifinsa Ishaku ya tambaye shi, “Wane ne kai?” Ya amsa, “Ni ne ɗanka, ɗan farinka, Isuwa.”

Isaac began to tremble uncontrollably and said, “Then who just served me wild game? I have already eaten it, and I blessed him just before you came. And yes, that blessing must stand!”

Ishaku ya yi makyarkyata ƙwarai ya ce, “To, wane ne wannan da ya farauto nama ya kawo mini kafin ka zo, har na ci na kuma sa masa albarka? Tabbatacce zai zama mai albarka!”

When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry. “Oh my father, what about me? Bless me, too!” he begged.

Sa’ad da Isuwa ya ji kalmomin mahaifinsa, sai ya fashe da kuka mai zafi kuma da ƙarfi, ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ka albarkace ni, ni ma, baba!”

But Isaac said, “Your brother was here, and he tricked me. He has taken away your blessing.”

Amma ya ce, “Ɗan’uwanka ya zo da makirci ya karɓi albarkarka.”

Esau exclaimed, “No wonder his name is Jacob, for now he has cheated me twice. First he took my rights as the firstborn, and now he has stolen my blessing. Oh, haven’t you saved even one blessing for me?”

Isuwa ya ce, “Ba saboda haka ne aka raɗa masa suna Yaƙub ba? Ya yi mini ƙwace sau biyu ke nan; ya ƙwace mini matsayina na ɗan fari, ga shi yanzu kuma ya karɓi albarkata.” Sa’an nan ya yi tambaya, “Ba sauran albarkar da ka rage mini?”

Isaac said to Esau, “I have made Jacob your master and have declared that all his brothers will be his servants. I have guaranteed him an abundance of grain and wine—what is left for me to give you, my son?”

Ishaku ya amsa wa Isuwa, “Na mai da shi shugaba a kanka, na sa dukan dangoginsa su zama bayinsa, na kuma ba shi hatsi da sabon ruwan inabi. Saboda haka me kuma zan yi maka ɗana?”

Esau pleaded, “But do you have only one blessing? Oh my father, bless me, too!” Then Esau broke down and wept.

Isuwa ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Iyakar albarkar da kake da ita ke nan, baba? Ka albarkace ni ni ma, baba!” Sai Isuwa ya ɗaga murya ya yi kuka.

Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him, “You will live away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the heaven above.

Mahaifinsa Ishaku ya amsa masa ya ce, “Ga shi, ni’imar ƙasar za tă nisanci mazauninka. Raɓar samaniya can ƙwanƙoli za tă nisance ka.

You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.”

Za ka rayu ta wurin takobi za ka kuwa bauta wa ɗan’uwanka. Amma sa’ad da ka ɓalle, za ka kakkarye karkiyarsa daga wuyanka.”

From that time on, Esau hated Jacob because their father had given Jacob the blessing. And Esau began to scheme: “I will soon be mourning my father’s death. Then I will kill my brother, Jacob.”

Isuwa ya riƙe Yaƙub a zuciya saboda albarkar da mahaifinsa ya sa masa. Ya ce wa kansa, “Kwanakin mutuwar mahaifina sun yi kusa; sa’an nan zan kashe ɗan’uwana Yaƙub.”

But Rebekah heard about Esau’s plans. So she sent for Jacob and told him, “Listen, Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.

Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Rebeka abin da babban ɗanta Isuwa ya faɗa, sai ta kira ɗanta Yaƙub ta ce masa, “Ɗan’uwanka Isuwa yana ta’azantar da kansa da tunanin kashe ka.

So listen carefully, my son. Get ready and flee to my brother, Laban, in Haran.

To, fa, ɗana, yi abin da na ce; gudu nan take zuwa wurin ɗan’uwana Laban a Haran.

Stay there with him until your brother cools off.

Zauna tare da shi na ɗan lokaci sai ɗan’uwanka ya huce.

When he calms down and forgets what you have done to him, I will send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”

Sa’ad da ɗan’uwanka ya daina fushi da kai, ya kuma manta da abin da ka yi masa, zan aika don ka dawo daga can. Don me zan rasa ku biyu a rana guda?”

Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m sick and tired of these local Hittite women! I would rather die than see Jacob marry one of them.”

Sa’an nan Rebeka ta ce wa Ishaku, “Ni fa na gaji da matan Hittiyawan nan. In Yaƙub ya auri mata daga cikin matan ƙasan nan, wato, daga matan Hittiyawa irin waɗannan, rayuwata ba za tă daɗa mini kome ba.”

So Isaac called for Jacob, blessed him, and said, “You must not marry any of these Canaanite women.

Saboda haka Ishaku ya kira Yaƙub, ya kuma albarkace shi, sa’an nan ya umarce shi ya ce, “Kada ka auri mace daga Kan’ana.

Instead, go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of your grandfather Bethuel, and marry one of your uncle Laban’s daughters.

Tashi nan da nan ka tafi Faddan Aram, zuwa gidan mahaifin mahaifiyarka Betuwel. Ka ɗauko wa kanka mata a can daga cikin ’ya’ya matan Laban ɗan’uwan mahaifiyarka.

May God Almighty bless you and give you many children. And may your descendants multiply and become many nations!

Bari Allah Maɗaukaki yă albarkace ka, yă kuma sa ka yi ta haihuwa ka riɓaɓɓanya har ka zama ƙungiyar jama’o’i.

May God pass on to you and your descendants the blessings he promised to Abraham. May you own this land where you are now living as a foreigner, for God gave this land to Abraham.”

Bari Allah yă ba ka da kuma zuriyarka albarkar da ya ba wa Ibrahim, don ka amshi ƙasar da kake baƙunci, ƙasar da Allah ya ba wa Ibrahim.”

So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram to stay with his uncle Laban, his mother’s brother, the son of Bethuel the Aramean.

Sa’an nan Ishaku ya sallami Yaƙub, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram, zuwa wurin Laban ɗan Betuwel mutumin Aram. Laban ne ɗan’uwan Rebeka, wadda take mahaifiyar Yaƙub da Isuwa.

Esau knew that his father, Isaac, had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife, and that he had warned Jacob, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.”

Yanzu Isuwa ya san cewa Ishaku ya albarkaci Yaƙub ya kuma aike shi zuwa Faddan Aram don yă auri mata daga can, ya kuma san cewa sa’ad da ya albarkace shi, ya umarce shi cewa, “Kada ka auro wata mace daga cikin Kan’aniyawa,”

He also knew that Jacob had obeyed his parents and gone to Paddan-aram.

ya kuma san cewa Yaƙub ya yi biyayya da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa, ya kuwa tafi Faddan Aram.

It was now very clear to Esau that his father did not like the local Canaanite women.

Sai Isuwa ya gane cewa matan Kan’aniyawa ba su gamshi mahaifinsa Ishaku ba;

So Esau visited his uncle Ishmael’s family and married one of Ishmael’s daughters, in addition to the wives he already had. His new wife’s name was Mahalath. She was the sister of Nebaioth and the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son.

saboda haka sai ya tafi wurin Ishmayel ya auri Mahalat, ’yar’uwar Nebayiwot da kuma ’yar Ishmayel ɗan Ibrahim, ban da matan da yake da su.

Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and traveled toward Haran.

Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba ya kama hanyar Haran.

At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep.

Sa’ad da ya kai wani wuri, sai ya dakata domin yă kwana, gama rana ta riga ta fāɗi. Ya ɗauki dutse daga cikin duwatsun wurin, ya sa shi ya zama matashin kansa, sa’an nan ya kwanta don yă yi barci.

As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.

Ya yi mafarki inda ya ga wata matakalar hawa, tsaye a ƙasa, kanta ta kai sama, mala’ikun Allah kuwa suna hawa, suna sauka a kanta.

At the top of the stairway stood the Lord , and he said, “I am the Lord , the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants.

A can bisanta Ubangiji ya tsaya, ya kuma ce, “Ni ne Ubangiji Allah na mahaifinka Ibrahim da kuma Allah na Ishaku. Zan ba ka, kai da kuma zuriyarka, ƙasar da kake kwance a kai.

Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will spread out in all directions—to the west and the east, to the north and the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.

Zuriyarka za tă zama kamar ƙurar ƙasa, za ka kuma bazu zuwa yamma da kuma gabas, zuwa arewa da kuma kudu. Dukan mutanen duniya za su sami albarka ta wurinka da kuma ta wurin ’ya’yanka.

What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”

Ina tare da kai, zan lura da kai duk inda ka tafi, zan kuma dawo da kai zuwa wannan ƙasa. Ba zan rabu da kai ba sai na cika abin da na yi maka alkawari.”

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!”

Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya farka daga barci, sai ya yi tunani ya ce, “Tabbatacce Ubangiji yana a wannan wuri, ban kuwa sani ba.”

But he was also afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God, the very gateway to heaven!”

Ya ji tsoro, ya kuma ce, “Wane irin wuri ne mai banrazana haka! Lalle wannan gidan Allah ne, kuma nan ne ƙofar sama.”

The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it.

Kashegari da sassafe, sai Yaƙub ya ɗauki dutsen da ya yi matashin kai da shi, ya kafa shi al’amudi, ya kuma zuba mai a kansa.

He named that place Bethel (which means “house of God”), although it was previously called Luz.

Ya kira wannan wuri Betel ko da yake dā ana kiran birnin Luz ne.

Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing,

Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya yi alkawari cewa, “In Allah zai kasance tare da ni yă kuma lura da ni a wannan tafiya, yă kuma ba ni abinci in ci da tufafi in sa,

and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the Lord will certainly be my God.

har in dawo lafiya zuwa gidan mahaifina, to, Ubangiji zai zama Allahna

And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.”

kuma wannan dutsen da na kafa al’amudi, zai zama gidan Allah, kuma dukan abin da ka ba ni zan ba ka kashi ɗaya bisa goma.”

Then Jacob hurried on, finally arriving in the land of the east.

Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa har ya kai ƙasar mutanen gabashi.

He saw a well in the distance. Three flocks of sheep and goats lay in an open field beside it, waiting to be watered. But a heavy stone covered the mouth of the well.

A can ya ga rijiya a jeji da garkuna uku na tumaki kwance kusa da ita, gama a wannan rijiya ce ake shayar da garkuna. Dutsen da ake rufe bakin rijiyar mai girma ne.

It was the custom there to wait for all the flocks to arrive before removing the stone and watering the animals. Afterward the stone would be placed back over the mouth of the well.

Sa’ad da dukan garkuna suka taru a can, sai makiyayan su gungurar da dutsen daga bakin rijiyar su shayar da tumaki. Sa’an nan su mai da dutsen a wurinsa a bakin rijiya.

Jacob went over to the shepherds and asked, “Where are you from, my friends?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.

Yaƙub ya tambayi makiyayan ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Mu daga Haran ne.”

“Do you know a man there named Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” he asked. “Yes, we do,” they replied.

Sai ya ce musu, “Kun san Laban, jikan Nahor?” Suka amsa, “I, mun san shi.”
