Exodus 1
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
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 and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Dan da Naftali; Gad da Asher.
5 All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
Zuriyar Yaƙub duka sun kai mutum saba’in. Yusuf ya riga ya kasance a Masar.
6 Joseph died, as did all his brothers, 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 were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and 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 there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
Sai wani sabon sarki wanda bai san Yusuf ba, ya hau sarautar Masar.
9 He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Duba Isra’ilawa sun yi yawa, sun fi ƙarfinmu.
10 Come, let’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape 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 they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.
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 afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.
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 ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,
ganin haka sai Masarawa suka ƙara musu wahala.
14 and they made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
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 The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah,
Sai Sarkin Masar ya gaya wa ungozomomin matan Ibraniyawa, wato, su Shofra da Fuwa ya ce,
16 and he said, “When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall 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 didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.
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 called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing and saved the boys alive?”
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 said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women aren’t like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the 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 dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
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 commanded all his people, saying, “You shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter you 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.”
