Genesis 47

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, 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 from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.

Sai ya zaɓi mutum biyar daga cikin’yan’uwansa, ya gabatar da su a gaban Fir’auna.

3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your 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 your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live 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 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,

Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Mahaifinka da’yan’uwanka sun zo maka,

6 and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

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 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented 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 your life?"

sai Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, “Shekarunka nawa da haihuwa?”

9 So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been 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 sojourning."

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 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.

Sai Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna, ya yi masa bankwana, sa’an nan ya fita.

11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property 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 provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.

Yusuf ya kuma tanada wa mahaifinsa da kuma’yan’uwansa da dukan gidan mahaifinsa, abinci bisa ga yawan’ya’yansu.

13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because 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 Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.

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 food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."

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 Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."

Yusuf ya ce, “To, ku kawo dabbobinku, zan sayar muku da abinci a madadin dabbobinku, tun da kuɗinku ya ƙare.”

17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock 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 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except 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 your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become 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, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So 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 subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt 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 an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to 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, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in 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 will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as 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 Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

Suka ce, “Ka ceci rayukanmu, in ya gamshe ka, ranka yă daɗe, za mu zama bayin Fir’auna.”

26 So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. 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 So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.

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 one 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 approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me 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 lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."

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 Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.

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.
