Exodus 1
1 These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in, every man with his household:
Waɗannan su ne sunayen’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, waɗanda suka tafi Masar tare da Yaƙub; kowanne da iyalinsa.
2 Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda,
Ruben, Simeyon, Lawi da Yahuda;
3 Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin,
Issakar, Zebulun da Benyamin;
4 Dan, and Nephtali, Gad and Aser.
Dan da Naftali; Gad da Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of Jacob’s thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt.
Zuriyar Yaƙub duka sun kai mutum saba’in. Yusuf ya riga ya kasance a Masar.
6 After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,
Yanzu Yusuf da dukan’yan’uwansa da kuma dukan tsaran nan da suka tafi Masar, sun mutu,
7 The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.
amma Isra’ilawa sun riɓaɓɓanya, suka kuma yi ta haihuwa sosai, suka yi yawan sosai, har ƙasar ta cika da su.
8 In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:
Sai wani sabon sarki wanda bai san Yusuf ba, ya hau sarautar Masar.
9 And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.
Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Duba Isra’ilawa sun yi yawa, sun fi ƙarfinmu.
10 Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply: and if any war shall rise against us, join with our enemies, and having overcome us, depart out of the land.
Ku zo, mu yi dabara a kansu, in ba haka ba za su ƙaru fiye da haka, in kuwa yaƙi ya tashi tsakaninmu da abokan gāba, za su iya haɗa kai da abokan gāba, su yaƙe mu, su bar ƙasar.”
11 Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens, and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom and Ramesses.
Saboda haka sai suka naɗa shugabannin gandu a kansu don su wahalshe su, su kuma bauta musu, suka sa su suka gina biranen Fitom da Rameses su zama biranen ajiya, domin Fir’auna.
12 But the more they oppressed them, the more they were multiplied, and increased:
Amma duk da wannan ƙarin wulaƙancin da ake yi musu, su kuwa sai daɗa riɓaɓɓanya suke ta yi. Sai tsoron Isra’ilawa ya ƙaru a zuciyar Masarawa,
13 And the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them:
ganin haka sai Masarawa suka ƙara musu wahala.
14 And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay, and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth.
Suka baƙanta wa Isra’ilawa rai da bauta mai wuya, ta wurin sa su yin tubali da yumɓu, da kuma kowace irin bauta a gonaki. A cikin dukan ayyukansu, Masarawa ba su ji tausayinsu ba ko kaɗan.
15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews: of whom one was called Sephora, the other Phua,
Sai Sarkin Masar ya gaya wa ungozomomin matan Ibraniyawa, wato, su Shofra da Fuwa ya ce,
16 Commanding them: When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive.
“Sa’ad da kuke taimakon matan Ibraniyawa lokacin haihuwa, in jaririn namiji ne ku kashe shi, amma in ta mace ce, ku bar ta da rai.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children.
Amma ungozomomin nan masu tsoron Allah ne, ba su kuwa aikata abin da sarkin Masar ya gaya musu ba; suka bar jarirai maza su rayu.
18 And the king called for them and said: What is that you meant to do, that you would save the men children?
Sai sarkin Masar ya kira ungozomomin, ya tambaye su ya ce, “Don me kuka yi haka? Don me kuka bar jarirai maza su rayu?”
19 They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skillful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them.
Ungozoman suka amsa wa Fir’auna suka ce, “Ai, matan Ibraniyawa ba kamar matan Masarawa ba ne, gwarzaye ne, sukan haihu kafin ungozomomin su kai wurinsu.”
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.
Saboda haka Allah ya nuna alheri wa ungozomomin, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yawa fiye da dā.
21 And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.
Saboda ungozomomin suna tsoron Allah, sai Allah ya ba su iyalan kansu.
22 Pharao therefore charged all his people, saying: Whatsoever shall be born of the male sex, ye shall cast into the river: whatsoever of the female, ye shall save alive.
Sai Fir’auna ya ba da umarni wa mutanensa ya ce, “Duk yaron da yake namijin da haka haifa, dole ku jefa shi cikin kogi, amma ku bar yara mata su rayu.”
