Exodus 1
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt with Jacob, each with his household:
Waɗannan su ne sunayen’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, waɗanda suka tafi Masar tare da Yaƙub; kowanne da iyalinsa.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Ruben, Simeyon, Lawi da Yahuda;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Issakar, Zebulun da Benyamin;
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Dan da Naftali; Gad da Asher.
5 All the people who were descendants of Jacob were seventy in number. Joseph was already in Egypt.
Zuriyar Yaƙub duka sun kai mutum saba’in. Yusuf ya riga ya kasance a Masar.
6 Then Joseph, all his brothers, and all that generation died.
Yanzu Yusuf da dukan’yan’uwansa da kuma dukan tsaran nan da suka tafi Masar, sun mutu,
7 The Israelites were fruitful, increased greatly in numbers, and became very strong; the land was filled with them.
amma Isra’ilawa sun riɓaɓɓanya, suka kuma yi ta haihuwa sosai, suka yi yawan sosai, har ƙasar ta cika da su.
8 Now then a new king arose over Egypt, one who did not know about Joseph.
Sai wani sabon sarki wanda bai san Yusuf ba, ya hau sarautar Masar.
9 He said to his people, “Look, the Israelites are more numerous and stronger than we are.
Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Duba Isra’ilawa sun yi yawa, sun fi ƙarfinmu.
10 Come, let us deal with them wisely, otherwise they will continue to grow in numbers, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies, fight against us, and leave 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 So they put taskmasters over them to oppress them with hard labor. The Israelites built store cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Rameses.
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 the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites increased in numbers and spread. So the Egyptians began to dread the Israelites.
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 The Egyptians made the Israelites work rigorously.
ganin haka sai Masarawa suka ƙara musu wahala.
14 They made their lives bitter with hard service with mortar and brick, and with all kinds of work in the fields. All their required work was hard.
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 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives; the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the other Puah.
Sai Sarkin Masar ya gaya wa ungozomomin matan Ibraniyawa, wato, su Shofra da Fuwa ya ce,
16 He said, “When you assist the Hebrew women on the birthstool, observe when they give birth. If it is a son, then you must kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she may live.”
“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 ordered them; instead, they let the baby boys live.
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 The king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the baby boys live?”
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 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. They are vigorous and have finished giving birth before a midwife comes 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 God protected these midwives. The people increased in numbers and became very strong.
Saboda haka Allah ya nuna alheri wa ungozomomin, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yawa fiye da dā.
21 Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
Saboda ungozomomin suna tsoron Allah, sai Allah ya ba su iyalan kansu.
22 Pharaoh ordered all his people, “You must throw every son that is born into the river, but every daughter you will let live.”
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.”
