< Genesis 47 >

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan. And, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Yusuf ya tafi yă faɗa wa Fir’auna, “Mahaifina da’yan’uwana, tare da garkunansu da shanunsu da kome da suke da shi, sun zo daga ƙasar Kan’ana, suna kuwa a Goshen yanzu.”
2 And he took five men from among his brothers, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Sai ya zaɓi mutum biyar daga cikin’yan’uwansa, ya gabatar da su a gaban Fir’auna.
3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
Fir’auna ya tambayi’yan’uwan, “Mece ce sana’arku?” Suka amsa wa Fir’auna suka ce, “Bayinka makiyaya ne, kamar yadda kakanninmu suke.”
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
Suka kuma ce masa, “Mun zo, mu zauna a nan na ɗan lokaci, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a Kan’ana, dabbobin bayinka kuma ba su da wurin kiwo. Saboda haka yanzu, muna roƙonka, bari bayinka su zauna a Goshen.”
5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brothers have come to thee.
Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Mahaifinka da’yan’uwanka sun zo maka,
6 The land of Egypt is before thee. Make thy father and thy brothers to dwell in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
ƙasar Masar kuma tana gabanka, ka zaunar da mahaifinka da’yan’uwanka a sashe mafi kyau na ƙasar, bari su zauna a Goshen. Idan kuma ka ga waɗansu a cikinsu da suka fi dacewa, sai ka sa su lura mini da shanuna.”
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Sa’an nan Yusuf ya shigar da Yaƙub mahaifinsa, ya gabatar da shi a gaban Fir’auna. Bayan Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna,
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
sai Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, “Shekarunka nawa da haihuwa?”
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Yaƙub kuwa ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Shekarun hijirata, shekaru ɗari da talatin ne. Shekaruna kaɗan ne cike da wahala, ba za a kuwa daidaita su da shekarun hijirar kakannina ba.”
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Sai Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna, ya yi masa bankwana, sa’an nan ya fita.
11 And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Ta haka Yusuf ya zaunar da mahaifinsa da’yan’uwansa a Masar, ya ba su mallaka a sashe mafi kyau na ƙasar, a yankin nan na Rameses, kamar yadda Fir’auna ya umarta.
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
Yusuf ya kuma tanada wa mahaifinsa da kuma’yan’uwansa da dukan gidan mahaifinsa, abinci bisa ga yawan’ya’yansu.
13 And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
A yanzu, a cikin ƙasar duka, ba abinci, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani ƙwarai, har ƙasar Masar da ƙasar Kan’ana suka shiga matsananciyar wahala!
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
Yusuf ya tattara dukan kuɗaɗen da suke a Masar da Kan’ana don biyan hatsin da suke saya, ya kuwa kawo su a fadan Fir’auna.
15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence? For our money fails.
Sa’ad da kuɗin mutanen Masar da Kan’ana suka ƙare, dukan Masar ta zo wurin Yusuf ta ce, “Ka ba mu abinci. Me zai sa mu mutu a idanunka? Kuɗinmu duk sun ƙare.”
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money fails.
Yusuf ya ce, “To, ku kawo dabbobinku, zan sayar muku da abinci a madadin dabbobinku, tun da kuɗinku ya ƙare.”
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
Saboda haka suka kawo dabbobinsu wa Yusuf, ya kuma ba su abinci a madadin dawakai, tumaki da awaki, shanu da jakunansu. Ya kuwa ba su abinci a madadin dabbobinsu, a wannan shekara.
18 And when that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent, and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
Sa’ad da wannan shekara ta ƙare, sai suka zo wurinsa a shekara ta biye suka ce, “Ba za mu ɓoye maka ba ranka yă daɗe, kuɗinmu sun ƙare, dabbobinmu kuma sun zama naka. Ranka yă daɗe, in ban da jikunanmu da gonakinmu, ba abin da ya rage mana.
19 Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land not be desolate.
Kada ka bar mu mu mutu, ka yi wata dabara! Kada ka bari mu rasa gonakinmu. Ka musaye mu da abinci, mu da gonakinmu. Mu kuwa za mu zama bayin Fir’auna. Ka ba mu iri don mu rayu, kada mu mutu, don kuma kada gonakin ƙasarmu su zama kango.”
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians, every man, sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh's.
Ta haka Yusuf ya saya wa Fir’auna ƙasar Masar duka, gama Masarawa duka sun sayar da gonakinsu, saboda yunwa ta tsananta musu. Ƙasar ta zama mallakar Fir’auna.
21 And as for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
Yusuf kuwa ya mai da mutanen bayi, daga wannan iyakar Masar zuwa wancan.
22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
Amma bai sayi gonakin firistoci ba, gama suna karɓa rabo daga Fir’auna ne, suna kuma da isashen abinci daga rabon da Fir’auna yake ba su. Dalilin ke nan da ba su sayar da gonakinsu ba.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Yusuf ya ce wa mutane, “Yanzu da na saye ku da kuma gonakinku a yau wa Fir’auna, ga iri don ku shuka a gonaki.
24 And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones.
Amma sa’ad da hatsi suka nuna, za ku ba da kashi ɗaya bisa biyar ga Fir’auna. Sauran kashi huɗu bisa biyar kuma ku riƙe a matsayin iri don gonaki da kuma abinci wa kanku da gidajenku da kuma’ya’yanku.”
25 And they said, Thou have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Suka ce, “Ka ceci rayukanmu, in ya gamshe ka, ranka yă daɗe, za mu zama bayin Fir’auna.”
26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
Ta haka Yusuf ya kafa wannan ya zama doka game da ƙasa a Masar, har yă zuwa yau cewa kashi ɗaya bisa biyar na amfani gona ya zama na Fir’auna. Gonakin firistoci ne kaɗai ba su zama na Fir’auna ba.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
To, Isra’ilawa suka zauna a Masar a yankin Goshen. Suka mallaki filaye a can, suka riɓaɓɓanya suka ƙaru ƙwarai.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.
Yaƙub ya yi zama a Masar shekaru goma sha bakwai, yawan shekarunsa duka sun zama ɗari da arba’in da bakwai.
29 And the time drew near that Israel must die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
Sa’ad da lokaci ya gabato da Isra’ila zai mutu, sai ya kira ɗansa Yusuf, ya ce masa, “Ka yi mini wannan alheri, ka sa hannunka ƙarƙashin cinyar ƙafata, ka yi mini alkawari saboda ina roƙonka kaɗa ka bizne ni a Masar,
30 but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place. And he said, I will do as thou have said.
amma sa’ad da na huta da kakannina, ka ɗauke ni, ka fid da ni daga Masar, ka binne ni a inda aka binne su.” Yusuf ya ce, “Zan yi yadda ka faɗa.”
31 And he said, Swear to me, and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
Yaƙub ya ce, “Ka rantse mini.” Sai Yusuf ya rantse masa, Isra’ila kuwa ya yi godiya ga Allah yayinda ya jingina a kan sandansa.
