Farawa 12
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Abram, “Tashi ka bar ƙasarka, da mutanenka, da iyalin mahaifinka, ka tafi ƙasar da zan nuna maka.
The Lord told Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, your family home, and travel to the country I'm going to show you.
2 “Zan mai da kai al’umma mai girma, zan kuma albarkace ka; zan sa sunanka yă zama mai girma, ka kuma zama sanadin albarka.
I will make you the ancestor of a great nation and I will bless you. I will make sure you have a great reputation and that you are a blessing to others.
3 Zan albarkaci duk wanda ya albarkace ka, in kuma la’anci duk wanda ya la’anta ka, dukan mutanen duniya za su sami albarka ta wurinka.”
I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. Everyone on earth will be blessed through you.”
4 Saboda haka Abram ya tashi yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa masa; Lot ma ya tafi tare da shi. Abram yana da shekaru 75, sa’ad da ya tashi daga Haran.
So Abram left following the Lord's instructions, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran.
5 Abram ya ɗauki matarsa Saira da Lot ɗan ɗan’uwansa, da dukan mallakar da suka tattara, da kuma mutanen da suka samu a Haran, suka kama hanya zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana.
With him went his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, together with all the possessions they had collected and the people that had joined them in Harran. They left for the land of Canaan. When they arrived there,
6 Abram ya ratsa ƙasar har zuwa wurin babban itace na More a Shekem. A lokacin Kan’aniyawa suna a ƙasar.
Abram traveled on through the country as far as a place called Shechem, stopping at the oak tree of Moreh. At that time the country was occupied by Canaanites.
7 Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Abram ya ce, “Ga zuriyarka ne zan ba da wannan ƙasa.” Saboda haka Abram ya gina bagade a can ga Ubangiji, wanda ya bayyana gare shi.
The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him.
8 Daga can, ya ci gaba zuwa wajen tuddai a gabashin Betel ya kafa tentinsa, Betel yana yamma, Ai, kuma a gabas. A can ya gina bagade ga Ubangiji ya kuma kira bisa sunan Ubangiji.
Then he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up camp there. Bethel was to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar to the Lord there and worshiped him.
9 Sa’an nan Abram ya tashi ya ci gaba da tafiya zuwa wajen Negeb.
After that he went on his way, heading towards the Negev.
10 To, a lokacin, an yi yunwa a ƙasar, sai Abram ya gangara zuwa Masar don yă zauna a can na ɗan lokaci, domin yunwa ta yi tsanani.
But the land had been hit by famine. So Abram continued on to Egypt, planning to live there because the famine was so bad.
11 Yayinda yana gab da shiga Masar, sai ya ce wa matarsa Saira, “Na sani ke kyakkyawar mace ce.
As he approached Egypt and was about to cross the border, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
12 Sa’ad da Masarawa suka ganki, za su ce, ‘Wannan matarsa ce.’ Za su kuwa kashe ni, su bar ki da rai.
When the Egyptians see you, they'll say, ‘She's his wife,’ and they'll kill me but not you!
13 Saboda haka ki ce ke’yar’uwata ce, domin ta dalilinki a mutunta ni, a kuma bar ni da rai.”
Tell them you're my sister so I'll be treated well because of you, and my life will be spared for your sake.”
14 Sa’ad da Abram ya isa Masar, Masarawa suka ga cewa Saira kyakkyawa mace ce ƙwarai.
When Abram arrived in Egypt, the people there saw how beautiful Sarai was.
15 Sa’ad da fadawan Fir’auna suka gan ta kuwa, sai suka yabe ta wajen Fir’auna, aka kuwa kawo ta cikin fadarsa.
Pharaoh's officials also noticed and spoke positively about her to Pharaoh. So Sarai was taken to his palace to become one of his wives.
16 Ya mutunta Abram sosai saboda ita, Abram kuwa ya mallaki tumaki da shanu, da jakuna maza da mata, da bayi maza da mata, da kuma raƙuma.
Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her, giving him sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Amma Ubangiji ya wahalar da Fir’auna da gidansa da cututtuka masu zafi saboda Saira, matar Abram.
But the Lord caused Pharaoh and the people in his palace to suffer from terrible diseases because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Saboda haka Fir’auna ya kira Abram ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi mini? Me ya sa ba ka faɗa mini cewa ita matarka ce ba?
So Pharaoh ordered Abram brought to him and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?
19 Don me ka ruɗe ni cewa, ‘Ita’yar’uwata ce,’ har na ɗauke ta tă zama matata? To, ga matarka. Ɗauke ta ka tafi.”
Why did you say, ‘She's my sister,’ and let me take her to become one of my wives? So here's your wife! Take her and leave!”
20 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya yi wa mutanensa umarni a kan Abram, suka kuwa sallame shi tare da matarsa da kuma dukan abin da yake da shi.
Pharaoh ordered his guards to expel him and his wife from the country, along with everyone with them and all their possessions.
