Farawa 37
1 Yaƙub ya zauna a ƙasar da mahaifinsa ya zauna, wato, ƙasar Kan’ana.
And Jacob dwells in the land of his father’s sojournings—in the land of Canaan.
2 Wannan shi ne labarin zuriyar Yaƙub. Yusuf, saurayi ne mai shekara goma sha bakwai. Shi da’yan’uwansa, wato,’ya’yan Bilha maza da kuma’ya’yan Zilfa maza, matan mahaifinsa suna kiwon garkuna tare. Sai Yusuf ya kawo wa mahaifinsu rahoto marar kyau game da’yan’uwansa.
These [are] the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, has been enjoying himself with his brothers among the flock (and he [is] a youth), with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, and Joseph brings in an account of their evil to their father.
3 Isra’ila dai ya fi ƙaunar Yusuf fiye da kowanne a cikin sauran’ya’yansa maza, gama an haifa masa shi a cikin tsufansa. Sai ya yi masa riga mai gwanin kyau.
And Israel has loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and has made for him a long coat;
4 Sa’ad da’yan’uwansa suka ga cewa mahaifinsu ya fi ƙaunarsa fiye da kowanne daga cikinsu, sai suka ƙi jininsa, ba sa kuma maganar alheri da shi.
and his brothers see that their father has loved him more than any of his brothers, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
5 Sai Yusuf ya yi mafarki, sa’ad da ya faɗa wa’yan’uwansa, suka ƙara ƙin jininsa.
And Joseph dreams a dream, and declares to his brothers, and they add still more to hate him.
6 Ya ce musu, “Ku saurari wannan mafarkin da na yi.
And he says to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Muna daurin dammunan hatsi a gona, sai nan da nan damina ya tashi ya tsaya, yayinda dammunanku suka taru kewaye da nawa suka rusuna masa.”
that, behold, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and behold, my bundle has arisen, and has also stood up, and behold, your bundles are all around, and they bow themselves to my bundle.”
8 Sai’yan’uwansa suka ce masa, “Kana nufin za ka yi mulki a kanmu ke nan? Ko kuwa za ka zama sarki, a bisanmu?” Suka ƙara ƙin jininsa saboda mafarkinsa da kuma abin da ya faɗa.
And his brothers say to him, “Do you certainly reign over us? Do you certainly rule over us?” And they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
9 Sai Yusuf ya sāke yin wani mafarki, ya faɗa wa’yan’uwansa. Ya ce, “Ku saurara, na sāke yin wani mafarki, a wannan lokaci, na ga rana da wata da taurari goma sha ɗaya suna rusuna mini.”
And he dreams yet another dream, and recounts it to his brothers, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.”
10 Sa’ad da ya faɗa wa mahaifinsa da kuma’yan’uwansa, sai mahaifinsa ya kwaɓe shi ya ce, “Wanne irin mafarki ne haka da ka yi? Kana nufin ni da mahaifiyarka da’yan’uwanka za mu zo gabanka mu rusuna maka?”
And he recounts to his father, and to his brothers; and his father pushes against him, and says to him, “What [is] this dream which you have dreamed? Do we certainly come, I, and your mother, and your brothers—to bow ourselves to you, to the earth?”
11 ’Yan’uwansa suka yi kishinsa, amma mahaifinsa ya riƙe batun nan a zuciya.
And his brothers are zealous against him, and his father has watched the matter.
12 To,’yan’uwansa suka tafi kiwon garkunan mahaifinsu kusa da Shekem.
And his brothers go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
13 Sai Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Kamar yadda ka sani,’yan’uwanka suna kiwon garkuna kusa da Shekem. Zo, in aike ka gare su.” Ya ce, “To.”
and Israel says to Joseph, “Are your brothers not feeding in Shechem? Come, and I send you to them”; and he says to him, “Here I [am]”;
14 Saboda haka Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Jeka ka ga ko kome lafiya yake da’yan’uwanka da kuma garkunan, ka kawo mini labari.” Sa’an nan ya sallame shi daga Kwarin Hebron. Sa’ad da Yusuf ya kai Shekem,
and he says to him, “Now go see the peace of your brothers, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word”; and he sends him from the Valley of Hebron, and he comes to Shechem.
15 sai wani mutum ya same shi yana yawo a cikin jeji, sai mutumin ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Me kake nema?”
And a man finds him, and behold, he is wandering in the field, and the man asks him, saying, “What do you seek?”
16 Yusuf ya amsa ya ce, “Ina neman’yan’uwana ne. Za ka iya faɗa mini inda suke kiwon garkunansu?”
And he says, “I am seeking my brothers, please declare to me where they are feeding.”
17 Mutumin ya amsa, “Sun yi gaba daga nan. Na ji su suna cewa, ‘Bari mu je Dotan.’” Saboda haka Yusuf ya bi bayan’yan’uwansa, ya kuwa same su kusa da Dotan.
And the man says, “They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,” and Joseph goes after his brothers, and finds them in Dothan.
18 Amma da suka gan shi daga nesa, kafin yă kai wurinsu, sai suka ƙulla su kashe shi.
And they see him from afar, even before he draws near to them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
19 Suka ce wa juna, “Ga mai mafarkin nan can zuwa!
And they say to one another, “Behold, this man of the dreams comes;
20 Ku zo mu kashe shi mu kuma jefa shi a ɗaya daga cikin rijiyoyin nan, mu ce mugun naman jeji ya cinye shi. Mu ga yadda mafarkinsa zai cika.”
and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast has devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.”
21 Sa’ad da Ruben ya ji wannan, sai ya yi ƙoƙari yă cece shi daga hannuwansu. Ya ce, “Kada mu ɗauki ransa.
And Reuben hears, and delivers him out of their hand, and says, “Let us not strike the life”;
22 Kada mu zub da wani jini. Mu dai jefa shi cikin wannan rijiya a nan cikin hamada, amma kada mu sa hannu a kansa.” Ruben ya faɗa wannan ne don yă cece shi daga gare su, yă kuma mai da shi ga mahaifinsa.
and Reuben says to them, “Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and do not put forth a hand on him,” in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back to his father.
23 Saboda haka sa’ad da Yusuf ya zo wurin’yan’uwansa, sai suka tuɓe masa rigarsa, rigan nan mai gwanin kyau da ya sa,
And it comes to pass, when Joseph has come to his brothers, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] on him,
24 suka kuma ɗauke shi suka jefa a cikin rijiya. To, rijiyar wofi ce, babu ruwa a ciki.
and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
25 Da suka zauna don cin abinci, sai suka tā da idanu, suka ga ayarin mutanen Ishmayel suna zuwa daga Gileyad. An yi wa raƙumansu labtu da kayan yaji da na ƙanshi, suna kan hanyarsu za su Masar.
And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
26 Yahuda ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “Me zai amfane mu in muka kashe ɗan’uwanmu muka ɓoye jininsa?
And Judah says to his brothers, “What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
27 Ku zo, mu sayar da shi wa mutanen Ishmayelawan nan, kada mu sa hannuwanmu a kansa; ban da haka ma, shi ɗan’uwanmu ne, jiki da jininmu.” Sai’yan’uwansa suka yarda.
Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother—our flesh”; and his brothers listen.
28 Saboda haka sa’ad da Fataken Midiyawa suka iso, sai’yan’uwansa suka ja Yusuf daga rijiyar, suka sayar da shi a bakin shekel ashirin na azurfa wa mutanen Ishmayel, waɗanda suka ɗauke shi zuwa Masar.
And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
29 Sa’ad da Ruben ya dawo wurin rijiyar, sai ya tarar cewa Yusuf ba ya can, sai ya kyakkece tufafinsa.
And Reuben returns to the pit, and behold, Joseph is not in the pit, and he tears his garments,
30 Ya koma wurin’yan’uwansa ya ce, “Yaron ba ya can! Ina zan bi yanzu?”
and he returns to his brothers and says, “The boy is not, and I—to where am I going?”
31 Sai suka ɗauki rigar Yusuf, suka yanka akuya suka tsoma rigar a cikin jinin.
And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
32 Suka ɗauki rigan nan mai gwanin kyau, suka kawo wa mahaifinsu suka ce, “Mun sami wannan. Ka bincika shi ka gani ko rigar ɗanka ne.”
and send the long coat, and they bring [it] to their father, and say, “We have found this; please discern whether it [is] your son’s coat or not.”
33 Ya gane shi, sai ya ce, “Rigar ɗana ne! Waɗansu mugayen namun jeji sun cinye shi. Tabbatacce an yayyaga Yusuf.”
And he discerns it and says, “My son’s coat! An evil beast has devoured him; torn—Joseph is torn!”
34 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya kyakkece tufafinsa, ya sa tufafin makoki, ya kuma yi makoki domin ɗansa kwanaki masu yawa.
And Jacob tears his raiment, and puts sackcloth on his loins, and becomes a mourner for his son many days,
35 Dukan’ya’yansa maza da mata, suka zo don su ta’azantar da shi, amma ya ƙi yă ta’azantu. Ya ce, “A’a, cikin makoki zan gangara zuwa kabari wurin ɗana.” Saboda haka, mahaifin Yusuf ya yi kuka saboda shi. (Sheol h7585)
and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuses to comfort himself, and says, “For I go down to my son mourning, to Sheol,” and his father weeps for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Ana cikin haka, Midiyawa suka sayar da Yusuf a Masar wa Fotifar, ɗaya daga cikin shugabannin’yan gadin fadar Fir’auna.
And the Midianites have sold him to Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
