< Genesis 41 >
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
Bayan shekaru biyu cif, Fir’auna ya yi mafarki. A mafarkin, ya ga yana tsaye kusa da Nilu,
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
sai ga shanu bakwai masu ƙiba mulmul, suka fito daga kogin, suna kiwo a cikin kyauro.
3 After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu shanu bakwai, munana, ramammu, suka fito daga Nilu, suka tsaya kusa da waɗancan masu ƙiban, a bakin kogin.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
Shanun nan da suke munana ramammu, suka cinye shanu bakwai nan masu ƙiba mulmul. Sai Fir’auna ya farka.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Ya sāke yin barci, sai ya yi mafarki na biyu; ya ga kawuna bakwai na dawa, ƙosassu masu kyau, suka yi girma a kara guda.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu kawuna bakwai na dawa, suka fito sirara waɗanda iskar gabas ta sa suka yanƙwane.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
Siraran dawan suka haɗiye kawuna bakwai nan ƙosassu masu kyau. Sai Fir’auna ya farka, ashe, mafarki ne.
8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Da safe sai hankalinsa ya tashi, saboda haka sai ya aika a kawo dukan masu duba da masu hikima na Masar. Fir’auna ya faɗa musu mafarkansa, amma babu wanda ya iya ba shi fassararsu.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Sai shugaban masu shayarwa ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Yau an tuna mini da kāsawata.
10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
Sai ya ci gaba ya ce, Fir’auna ya taɓa husata da bayinsa, ya kuma jefa ni da shugaban masu tuya a cikin kurkuku a gidan shugaban masu tsaro.
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Kowannenmu ya yi mafarki a wani dare, kowane mafarki kuma ya kasance da ma’anarsa.
12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
To, wani saurayi, mutumin Ibraniyawa ya kasance a can tare da mu, bawan shugaban masu tsaro. Sai muka faɗa masa mafarkanmu, ya kuwa fassara mana su, yana ba wa kowane mutum fassarar mafarkinsa.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
Abubuwan kuwa suka kasance daidai yadda ya fassara su gare mu; aka mai da ni a matsayina, ɗaya mutumin kuwa aka rataye shi.”
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
Sai Fir’auna ya aika a kawo Yusuf, aka kuwa kawo shi da sauri daga kurkuku. Sa’ad da ya yi aski, ya kuma canja tufafinsa, sai ya zo gaban Fir’auna.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Na yi mafarki, kuma babu wanda ya iya fassara shi. Amma na ji an ce sa’ad da ka ji mafarki, kana iya fassara shi.”
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
Yusuf ya amsa wa Fir’auna ya ce, “Ba ni ne da iyawar ba, Allah zai iya ba wa Fir’auna amsar da yake nema.”
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “A cikin mafarkina, na ga ina tsaye a bakin Nilu,
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
sai ga shanu bakwai masu ƙiba mulmul, suka fito daga kogin, suna kiwo a cikin kyauro.
19 After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
Bayansu kuma, sai ga waɗansu shanu bakwai suka fito ƙanjamammu, munana, ramammu. Ban taɓa ganin irin munanan shanu haka a cikin dukan ƙasar Masar ba.
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
Ramammun shanun nan munana, suka cinye shanun nan bakwai masu ƙiba da suka fito da fari.
21 When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
Amma ko bayan da suka cinye su, babu wanda zai iya faɗa cewa sun yi haka; suna nan dai munana kamar yadda suke a dā. Sai na farka.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
“Har yanzu kuma, a cikin mafarkina na ga kawuna bakwai na dawa ƙosassu masu kyau, suna girma a kara guda.
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu kawuna bakwai suka fito, yanƙwananne sirara waɗanda iskar gabas ta yanƙwane.
24 And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
Siraran kawunan dawan nan suka haɗiye kawuna bakwai nan masu kyau. Na faɗa wannan wa masu duba, amma ba wanda ya iya fassara mini shi.”
25 At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Sai Yusuf ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Mafarkan Fir’auna, ɗaya ne. Allah ya bayyana wa Fir’auna abin da yake shirin yi.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
Shanu masu kyau nan, shekaru bakwai ne, kawunan dawa bakwai ƙosassun nan kuwa shekaru bakwai ne; mafarkan iri ɗaya ne.
27 Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
Shanun nan ramammu, munana, da suka zo daga baya, shekaru bakwai ne, haka ma kawuna dawan nan shanyayyu da iskar gabas ta yanƙwane. Shekaru ne bakwai na yunwa.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
“Haka yake kamar yadda na faɗa wa Fir’auna cewa Allah ya nuna wa Fir’auna abin da yake shirin yi.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Shekaru bakwai na yalwar abinci suna zuwa a dukan ƙasar Masar,
30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
amma shekaru bakwai na yunwa za su biyo bayansu. Tsananin yunwar za tă sa a manta da dukan isashen abincin da aka samu a ƙasar Masar, yunwa kuwa za tă rufe dukan ƙasar.
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
Ba za a tuna da isashen abincin da aka samu a ƙasar ba, domin yunwar da za tă biyo baya za tă zama da tsanani ƙwarai.
32 Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
Dalilin da aka ba wa Fir’auna mafarkan nan kashi biyu kuwa shi ne cewa Allah ya riga ya ƙaddara al’amarin. Allah zai aikata shi, ba da daɗewa ba.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Yanzu fa, bari Fir’auna yă nemi mutum mai basira da kuma hikima, yă sa shi yă shugabanci ƙasar Masar.
34 Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
Bari Fir’auna yă naɗa komishinoni a kan ƙasar don su karɓi kashi ɗaya bisa biyar na girbin Masar a lokacin shekaru bakwai na yalwar abinci.
35 Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
Ya kamata su tara dukan abincin waɗannan shekaru masu kyau da suke zuwa, su yi ajiyar hatsin a ƙarƙashin ikon Fir’auna, don a ajiye a birane don abinci.
36 This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
Ya kamata a adana abincin nan don ƙasar, kāriya shekaru bakwai na yunwa, domin a yi amfani da shi a lokacin shekarun yunwan da za su zo wa Masar, saboda kada ƙasar ta lalace da yunwa.”
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
Shirin ya yi wa Fir’auna da kuma dukan hafsoshinsa kyau.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
Saboda haka Fir’auna ya tambaye su, “Za mu iya samun wani kamar wannan mutum, wannan wanda Ruhun Allah yake cikinsa?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Sai Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Da yake Allah ya ba ka sanin dukan waɗannan, babu wani mai basira da kuma hikima kamar ka.
40 You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Za ka shugabanci fadata, kuma dukan mutanena za su zama a ƙarƙashinka. Da sarauta kaɗai zan fi ka girma.”
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Saboda haka Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ga shi na sa ka zama shugaban dukan ƙasar Masar.”
42 Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya zare zoben sarauta daga yatsarsa, ya sa shi a yatsan Yusuf. Ya sanya masa rigar lallausan lilin, ya kuma sa masa sarƙar zinariya a wuyansa.
43 He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
Ya sa shi ya hau keken yaƙi a matsayi mai binsa na biyu, mutane kuwa suka yi shela a gabansa suna cewa, “A ba da hanya!” Ta haka ya sa shi shugaba a kan dukan ƙasar Masar.
44 And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ni ne Fir’auna, amma in ba tare da umarninka ba, ba wanda zai ɗaga hannu ko ƙafa a cikin dukan Masar.”
45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
Fir’auna ya ba wa Yusuf suna Zafenat-Faneya, ya kuma ba shi Asenat’yar Fotifera firist na On, ta zama matarsa. Yusuf kuwa ya zaga dukan ƙasar Masar.
46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
Yusuf yana zuwa shekara talatin sa’ad da ya shiga hidimar Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Yusuf kuwa ya fita daga gaban Fir’auna, ya zaga ko’ina a Masar.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
A shekaru bakwai na yalwa, ƙasar ta ba da amfani mai yawa.
48 During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
Yusuf ya tattara dukan abincin da aka samu a waɗannan shekaru bakwai na yalwa a Masar, ya kuma yi ajiyarsu a cikin birane. A kowane birni, ya sa abincin da aka nome a kewayensa.
49 So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
Sai Yusuf ya tara hatsi da yawan gaske, kamar yashi a bakin teku, har sai da ya kāsa iya auna shi, gama ba a iya aunawa.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Kafin shekarun yunwa su zo, Asenat’yar Fotifera, firist na On, ta haifa wa Yusuf’ya’ya maza biyu.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
Yusuf ya ba wa ɗansa na fari suna Manasse ya ce, “Gama Allah ya sa na mance dukan wahalata da dukan gidan mahaifina.”
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Ya ba wa ɗansa na biyu suna Efraim ya ce, “Gama Allah ya wadata ni cikin wahalata.”
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Shekaru bakwai na yalwa a Masar suka zo ga ƙarshe,
54 the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
sai shekaru bakwai na yunwa suka soma shigowa, kamar yadda Yusuf ya faɗa. Aka yi yunwa ko’ina amma ban da ƙasar Masar. Don akwai abinci.
55 When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
Sa’ad da dukan Masar ta fara jin yunwa, sai mutane suka yi wa Fir’auna kuka don abinci. Sai Fir’auna ya ce wa dukan Masarawa, “Ku tafi wurin Yusuf, ku kuma yi abin da ya faɗa muku.”
56 When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Sa’ad da yunwa ta bazu a dukan ƙasar, sai Yusuf ya buɗe gidajen ajiya, ya kuma sayar da hatsi ga Masarawa, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a dukan Masar.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Dukan ƙasashe kuwa suka zo Masar don saya hatsi daga Yusuf, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a dukan duniya.
