Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have arrived from the land of Canaan. See, 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 He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Sai ya zaɓi mutum biyar daga cikin’yan’uwansa, ya gabatar da su a gaban Fir’auna.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our ancestors.”
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 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We come as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks, because 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 The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best region, the land of Goshen. If you know any capable men among them, 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 Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh. 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 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How long have you lived?”
sai Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, “Shekarunka nawa da haihuwa?”
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my travels are a hundred and thirty. The years of my life have been few and painful. They have not been as long as those of my ancestors.”
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 his presence.
Sai Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna, ya yi masa bankwana, sa’an nan ya fita.
11 Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them a territory in the land of Egypt, 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 Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according 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 severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away 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 all the money that was in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, by selling grain to the inhabitants. Then Joseph brought the money to Pharaoh's palace.
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 When all the money of the lands of Egypt and Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph saying, “Give us food! Why should we die in your presence because 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 Joseph said, “If your money is gone, bring your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
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. Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, for the flocks, for the herds, and for the donkeys. He fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock 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 ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my master that our money is all gone, and the herds of cattle are my master's. There is nothing left in the sight of my master, except our bodies and our land.
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 that we may live and not die, and that the land may not 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. For every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was very severe. In this way, 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 As for the people, he made them slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end.
Yusuf kuwa ya mai da mutanen bayi, daga wannan iyakar Masar zuwa wancan.
22 It was only the land of the priests that Joseph did not buy, because the priests were given an allowance. They ate from the allotment 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, “See, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you will plant 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 At the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field and for food for your households and your children.”
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 They said, “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in your eyes. 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 So Joseph made it a statute which is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day, that one-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests 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. His people gained possessions there. They were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
To, Isra’ilawa suka zauna a Masar a yankin Goshen. Suka mallaki filaye a can, suka riɓaɓɓanya suka ƙaru ƙwarai.
28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the years of Jacob's 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 When the time approached for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh, and show me faithfulness and trustworthiness. 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 When I sleep with my fathers, you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in my forefathers' burial place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you 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 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his 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.
