Fitowa 1
1 Waɗannan su ne sunayen’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, waɗanda suka tafi Masar tare da Yaƙub; kowanne da iyalinsa.
And these are the names of the sons of Israel who had come into Egypt; with Jacob had they come, each with his household:
2 Ruben, Simeyon, Lawi da Yahuda;
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Issakar, Zebulun da Benyamin;
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan da Naftali; Gad da Asher.
Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 Zuriyar Yaƙub duka sun kai mutum saba’in. Yusuf ya riga ya kasance a Masar.
And all the souls that had come out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt.
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 were fruitful, and swarmed and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was full of them.
8 Sai wani sabon sarki wanda bai san Yusuf ba, ya hau sarautar Masar.
And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9 Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Duba Isra’ilawa sun yi yawa, sun fi ƙarfinmu.
And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and 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 on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, if war occur, they take side with our enemies and fight against us, and go up 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 they set over them service-masters to oppress them with their burdens. And they built store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
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 the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and spread; and they were distressed because of the children of Israel.
13 ganin haka sai Masarawa suka ƙara musu wahala.
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness;
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 with hard labour in clay and bricks, and in all manner of labour in the field: all their labour with which they made them serve was with harshness.
15 Sai Sarkin Masar ya gaya wa ungozomomin matan Ibraniyawa, wato, su Shofra da Fuwa ya ce,
And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives — of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was Puah —
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 ye help the Hebrew women in bearing, and see [them] on the stool, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if a daughter, then she shall live.
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 had said to them, but 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 have ye done this, 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 Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them.
20 Saboda haka Allah ya nuna alheri wa ungozomomin, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yawa fiye da dā.
And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
21 Saboda ungozomomin suna tsoron Allah, sai Allah ya ba su iyalan kansu.
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
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.”
Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, but every daughter ye shall save alive.
