Fitowa 2
1 Ana nan, sai wani Balawe ya auri wata Balawiya,
It was around this time that a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman, also a Levite.
2 ta kuwa yi ciki, ta haifi ɗa. Sa’ad da ta ga jaririn kyakkyawa ne, sai ta ɓoye shi har watanni uku.
She became pregnant and had a son. She saw he was a lovely baby, and she hid him for three months.
3 Amma da ba tă iya ɓoye shi kuma ba, sai ta yi kwandon kyauro ta shafa masa kwalta. Bayan haka sai ta sa jaririn a cikin kwandon, ta je ta ajiye kwandon tare da jaririn a cikin kyauro, a bakin kogin.
But when she couldn't hide him anymore, she got a papyrus basket and covered it with tar and pitch. Then she put her baby in the basket and placed it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
4 ’Yar’uwarsa ta tsaya da ɗan rata tana lura da abin da zai faru da shi.
His sister waited some distance away, keeping an eye on him.
5 Sai’yar Fir’auna ta gangara zuwa kogi domin tă yi wanka, bayinta kuwa suna tafiya a bakin kogi. Sai ta ga kwandon a ciyawa, ta aiki ɗaya daga cikin masu hidimarta tă ɗauko mata.
Then Pharaoh's daughter arrived to bathe in the Nile. Her ladies-in-waiting were walking along the bank of the river. When she saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it and bring it to her.
6 Da ta buɗe kwandon, sai ta ga yaro yana kuka, ta kuwa ji tausayinsa. Ta ce, “Wannan ɗaya daga cikin jariran Ibraniyawa ne.”
When she opened it she saw the baby boy. He was crying and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew boys,” she said.
7 Sai’yar’uwarsa ta tambayi’yar Fir’auna, ta ce, “In tafi in samo ɗaya daga cikin matan Ibraniyawa tă yi miki renon yaron?”
His sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, “Would you like me to go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse him for you?”
8 Sai ta amsa ta ce, “I, tafi.” Sai yarinyar ta tafi ta kawo mahaifiyar yaron.
“Yes, go and do that,” she replied. So the girl went and called the baby's mother to come.
9 Diyar Fir’auna ta ce mata, “Ɗauki jaririn, ki yi mini renonsa, zan kuwa biya ki.” Saboda haka ta ɗauki yaron, ta yi renonsa.
“Take this baby boy and nurse him for me,” she told his mother. “I will pay you myself.” So his mother took him home and nursed him.
10 Sa’ad da ya yi girma, sai ta kawo shi wajen’yar Fir’auna, ya kuwa zama ɗanta, ta kuma ba shi suna Musa, tana cewa, “Na tsamo shi daga ruwa.”
When the boy was older she took him to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her son. She called him Moses, because she said, “I pulled him out of the water.”
11 Wata rana, bayan Musa ya yi girma, sai ya haura, ya tafi inda mutanensa suke, ya kuma ga yadda suke shan wahala da aiki. Ya ga wani mutumin Masar yana dūkan mutumin Ibraniyawa, ɗaya daga cikin mutanensa.
Later, when Moses had grown up, he went to visit his people, the Hebrews. He saw them doing hard labor. He also saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
12 Da ya leƙa nan da can bai kuwa ga kowa ba, sai ya kashe mutumin Masar, ya ɓoye shi a yashi.
He looked all around to make sure no one was watching, and then he killed the Egyptian and buried his body in the sand.
13 Kashegari ya fita, sai ya ga Ibraniyawa biyu suna faɗa. Ya tambayi mai laifin ya ce, “Don me kake bugun ɗan’uwanka, mutumin Ibraniyawa?”
The following day he went back and he saw two Hebrews fighting with each other. He said to the one at fault, “Why are you beating one of your own people?”
14 Mutumin ya ce masa, “Wa ya mai da kai mai mulki da mai hukunci a kanmu? Kana so ne ka kashe ni kamar yadda ka kashe mutumin Masar nan?” Sai Musa ya tsorata, ya yi tunani ya ce, “To, fa, abin nan da na yi, ya zama sananne.”
“Who put you in charge to judge us?” the man replied. “Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian?” Moses became frightened at this, and said to himself, “People know what I've done!”
15 Da Fir’auna ya ji wannan, sai ya yi ƙoƙari yă kashe Musa, amma Musa ya gudu daga wajen Fir’auna, ya tafi ƙasar Midiyan inda ya zauna kusa da wata rijiya.
When Pharaoh found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. One day as he was sitting by a well,
16 To, fa, akwai wani firist na Midiyan, yana da’ya’ya mata bakwai, suka zo su shayar da dabbobin mahaifinsu.
and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.
17 Sai waɗansu makiyaya suka zo suka kore su, amma Musa ya tashi ya taimake su ya shayar da dabbobinsu.
Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.
18 Da’yan matan suka komo wurin Reyuwel mahaifinsu, sai ya tambaye su ya ce, “Yaya kuka dawo da wuri yau?”
When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”
19 Suka amsa suka ce, “Wani mutumin Masar ne ya taimake mu daga hannun waɗansu makiyaya. Har ma ya ɗebo ruwa ya shayar da dabbobin.”
“An Egyptian rescued us from some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”
20 Ya tambayi’yan matansa, “To ina yake? Don me kuka bar shi a can? A gayyace shi, yă zo, yă ci wani abu.”
“So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”
21 Musa ya yarda yă zauna da mutumin wanda ya ba da’yarsa Ziffora aure da Musa.
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.
22 Ziffora ta haifi wa Musa ɗa, ya kuma raɗa masa suna Gershom cewa, “Na zama baƙo a baƙuwar ƙasa.”
She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
23 Ana nan dai, a kwana a tashi, sai sarkin Masar ya mutu. Isra’ilawa suka yi kuka mai zafi saboda bautarsu mai wuya, sai kukar neman taimakonsu saboda bauta, ya kai wurin Allah.
Years later, the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites were still groaning under their hard labor. Their cries for help because of their hardship reached God.
24 Allah kuwa ya ji kukansu sai ya tuna da alkawarinsa da Ibrahim da Ishaku da Yaƙub.
God heard their groans, and recalled his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Sai Allah ya dubi Isra’ilawa, ya kuma damu da su.
God also looked sympathetically on the Israelites, and was concerned for them.
