Farawa 12
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Abram, “Tashi ka bar ƙasarka, da mutanenka, da iyalin mahaifinka, ka tafi ƙasar da zan nuna maka.
Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will 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 cause your descendants to become a large nation. I will bless you and cause you to become (famous/highly esteemed). What I do for you will be 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/ask God to do good things for) you, and I will (curse/ask God to punish) those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed 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 Haran [town], as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was 75 years old when he left there along with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew, Lot.
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.
Abram also took along all the possessions and slaves that they had accumulated/acquired in Haran [town], and they left there and went to Canaan land.
6 Abram ya ratsa ƙasar har zuwa wurin babban itace na More a Shekem. A lokacin Kan’aniyawa suna a ƙasar.
In Canaan they traveled as far as Shechem [town] and camped by a huge tree called the tree of Moreh. The Canaan people-group were still living in that land.
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.
Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I will give this land to your descendants.” Then Abram built a stone altar to offer a sacrifice to Yahweh because Yahweh had 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.
From Shechem, Abram and his family traveled to the hills that were east of Bethel [town]. Bethel [town] was to the west of where they set up their tent, and Ai [town] was further to the east. There he built another stone altar and offered a sacrifice and worshiped Yahweh there.
9 Sa’an nan Abram ya tashi ya ci gaba da tafiya zuwa wajen Negeb.
Then they left there and started traveling south to the Negev [Desert].
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.
There was (a famine/very little food to eat) in Canaan, so they went south to live in Egypt for a while.
11 Yayinda yana gab da shiga Masar, sai ya ce wa matarsa Saira, “Na sani ke kyakkyawar mace ce.
Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman.
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 people in Egypt see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife!’ and they will kill me in order to get you, but they will not kill you.
13 Saboda haka ki ce ke’yar’uwata ce, domin ta dalilinki a mutunta ni, a kuma bar ni da rai.”
So I ask you to tell them that you are my sister, so that because of you telling them that, they will (spare my life/not kill me).”
14 Sa’ad da Abram ya isa Masar, Masarawa suka ga cewa Saira kyakkyawa mace ce ƙwarai.
And as soon as they arrived in Egypt, the people in Egypt saw that his wife was indeed very beautiful.
15 Sa’ad da fadawan Fir’auna suka gan ta kuwa, sai suka yabe ta wajen Fir’auna, aka kuwa kawo ta cikin fadarsa.
When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace.
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.
The king treated Abram kindly because of Sarai, and he gave Abram many sheep and cattle and donkeys and male and female slaves and camels.
17 Amma Ubangiji ya wahalar da Fir’auna da gidansa da cututtuka masu zafi saboda Saira, matar Abram.
But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases.
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?
When the king realized why that was happening, he summoned Abram and said to him, “Why did you do this to me? Why did you not 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 lie, saying she is your sister, with the result that I took her to be my wife? You should not have done that! So now take your wife, leave here and go!”
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.
Then the king told his officials/servants to take Abram and his wife and all his possessions out of Egypt.
