1 Waɗannan su ne sunayen’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, waɗanda suka tafi Masar tare da Yaƙub; kowanne da iyalinsa.
These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family.
2 Ruben, Simeyon, Lawi da Yahuda;
Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,
3 Issakar, Zebulun da Benyamin;
Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin,
4 Dan da Naftali; Gad da Asher.
Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.
5 Zuriyar Yaƙub duka sun kai mutum saba’in. Yusuf ya riga ya kasance a Masar.
But Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls [born] of Jacob were seventy-five.
6 Yanzu Yusuf da dukan’yan’uwansa da kuma dukan tsaran nan da suka tafi Masar, sun mutu,
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 amma Isra’ilawa sun riɓaɓɓanya, suka kuma yi ta haihuwa sosai, suka yi yawan sosai, har ƙasar ta cika da su.
And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.
8 Sai wani sabon sarki wanda bai san Yusuf ba, ya hau sarautar Masar.
And there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Duba Isra’ilawa sun yi yawa, sun fi ƙarfinmu.
And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is stronger than we:
10 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.”
come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land.
11 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.
And he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis.
12 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,
But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.
13 ganin haka sai Masarawa suka ƙara musu wahala.
And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force.
14 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.
And they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.
15 Sai Sarkin Masar ya gaya wa ungozomomin matan Ibraniyawa, wato, su Shofra da Fuwa ya ce,
And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.
16 “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.”
And he said, When you do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.
17 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.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed them; and they saved the male children alive.
18 Sai sarkin Masar ya kira ungozomomin, ya tambaye su ya ce, “Don me kuka yi haka? Don me kuka bar jarirai maza su rayu?”
And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that you have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?
19 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.”
And the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.
20 Saboda haka Allah ya nuna alheri wa ungozomomin, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yawa fiye da dā.
And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.
21 Saboda ungozomomin suna tsoron Allah, sai Allah ya ba su iyalan kansu.
And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.
22 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.”
And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.
