1 Bayan shekaru biyu cif, Fir’auna ya yi mafarki. A mafarkin, ya ga yana tsaye kusa da Nilu,
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 sai ga shanu bakwai masu ƙiba mulmul, suka fito daga kogin, suna kiwo a cikin kyauro.
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu shanu bakwai, munana, ramammu, suka fito daga Nilu, suka tsaya kusa da waɗancan masu ƙiban, a bakin kogin.
And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 Shanun nan da suke munana ramammu, suka cinye shanu bakwai nan masu ƙiba mulmul. Sai Fir’auna ya farka.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Ya sāke yin barci, sai ya yi mafarki na biyu; ya ga kawuna bakwai na dawa, ƙosassu masu kyau, suka yi girma a kara guda.
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu kawuna bakwai na dawa, suka fito sirara waɗanda iskar gabas ta sa suka yanƙwane.
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Siraran dawan suka haɗiye kawuna bakwai nan ƙosassu masu kyau. Sai Fir’auna ya farka, ashe, mafarki ne.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
8 Da safe sai hankalinsa ya tashi, saboda haka sai ya aika a kawo dukan masu duba da masu hikima na Masar. Fir’auna ya faɗa musu mafarkansa, amma babu wanda ya iya ba shi fassararsu.
It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Sai shugaban masu shayarwa ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Yau an tuna mini da kāsawata.
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 Sai ya ci gaba ya ce, Fir’auna ya taɓa husata da bayinsa, ya kuma jefa ni da shugaban masu tuya a cikin kurkuku a gidan shugaban masu tsaro.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 Kowannenmu ya yi mafarki a wani dare, kowane mafarki kuma ya kasance da ma’anarsa.
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 To, wani saurayi, mutumin Ibraniyawa ya kasance a can tare da mu, bawan shugaban masu tsaro. Sai muka faɗa masa mafarkanmu, ya kuwa fassara mana su, yana ba wa kowane mutum fassarar mafarkinsa.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 Abubuwan kuwa suka kasance daidai yadda ya fassara su gare mu; aka mai da ni a matsayina, ɗaya mutumin kuwa aka rataye shi.”
And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."
14 Sai Fir’auna ya aika a kawo Yusuf, aka kuwa kawo shi da sauri daga kurkuku. Sa’ad da ya yi aski, ya kuma canja tufafinsa, sai ya zo gaban Fir’auna.
Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Na yi mafarki, kuma babu wanda ya iya fassara shi. Amma na ji an ce sa’ad da ka ji mafarki, kana iya fassara shi.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16 Yusuf ya amsa wa Fir’auna ya ce, “Ba ni ne da iyawar ba, Allah zai iya ba wa Fir’auna amsar da yake nema.”
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “A cikin mafarkina, na ga ina tsaye a bakin Nilu,
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 sai ga shanu bakwai masu ƙiba mulmul, suka fito daga kogin, suna kiwo a cikin kyauro.
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Bayansu kuma, sai ga waɗansu shanu bakwai suka fito ƙanjamammu, munana, ramammu. Ban taɓa ganin irin munanan shanu haka a cikin dukan ƙasar Masar ba.
And look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
20 Ramammun shanun nan munana, suka cinye shanun nan bakwai masu ƙiba da suka fito da fari.
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 Amma ko bayan da suka cinye su, babu wanda zai iya faɗa cewa sun yi haka; suna nan dai munana kamar yadda suke a dā. Sai na farka.
But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
22 “Har yanzu kuma, a cikin mafarkina na ga kawuna bakwai na dawa ƙosassu masu kyau, suna girma a kara guda.
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 Bayansu, sai ga waɗansu kawuna bakwai suka fito, yanƙwananne sirara waɗanda iskar gabas ta yanƙwane.
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24 Siraran kawunan dawan nan suka haɗiye kawuna bakwai nan masu kyau. Na faɗa wannan wa masu duba, amma ba wanda ya iya fassara mini shi.”
And the seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
25 Sai Yusuf ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Mafarkan Fir’auna, ɗaya ne. Allah ya bayyana wa Fir’auna abin da yake shirin yi.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 Shanu masu kyau nan, shekaru bakwai ne, kawunan dawa bakwai ƙosassun nan kuwa shekaru bakwai ne; mafarkan iri ɗaya ne.
The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 Shanun nan ramammu, munana, da suka zo daga baya, shekaru bakwai ne, haka ma kawuna dawan nan shanyayyu da iskar gabas ta yanƙwane. Shekaru ne bakwai na yunwa.
And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
28 “Haka yake kamar yadda na faɗa wa Fir’auna cewa Allah ya nuna wa Fir’auna abin da yake shirin yi.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Shekaru bakwai na yalwar abinci suna zuwa a dukan ƙasar Masar,
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 amma shekaru bakwai na yunwa za su biyo bayansu. Tsananin yunwar za tă sa a manta da dukan isashen abincin da aka samu a ƙasar Masar, yunwa kuwa za tă rufe dukan ƙasar.
But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,
31 Ba za a tuna da isashen abincin da aka samu a ƙasar ba, domin yunwar da za tă biyo baya za tă zama da tsanani ƙwarai.
and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 Dalilin da aka ba wa Fir’auna mafarkan nan kashi biyu kuwa shi ne cewa Allah ya riga ya ƙaddara al’amarin. Allah zai aikata shi, ba da daɗewa ba.
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 “Yanzu fa, bari Fir’auna yă nemi mutum mai basira da kuma hikima, yă sa shi yă shugabanci ƙasar Masar.
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Bari Fir’auna yă naɗa komishinoni a kan ƙasar don su karɓi kashi ɗaya bisa biyar na girbin Masar a lokacin shekaru bakwai na yalwar abinci.
Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35 Ya kamata su tara dukan abincin waɗannan shekaru masu kyau da suke zuwa, su yi ajiyar hatsin a ƙarƙashin ikon Fir’auna, don a ajiye a birane don abinci.
They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.
36 Ya kamata a adana abincin nan don ƙasar, kāriya shekaru bakwai na yunwa, domin a yi amfani da shi a lokacin shekarun yunwan da za su zo wa Masar, saboda kada ƙasar ta lalace da yunwa.”
That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
37 Shirin ya yi wa Fir’auna da kuma dukan hafsoshinsa kyau.
The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Saboda haka Fir’auna ya tambaye su, “Za mu iya samun wani kamar wannan mutum, wannan wanda Ruhun Allah yake cikinsa?”
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
39 Sai Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Da yake Allah ya ba ka sanin dukan waɗannan, babu wani mai basira da kuma hikima kamar ka.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 Za ka shugabanci fadata, kuma dukan mutanena za su zama a ƙarƙashinka. Da sarauta kaɗai zan fi ka girma.”
You will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
41 Saboda haka Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ga shi na sa ka zama shugaban dukan ƙasar Masar.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
42 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya zare zoben sarauta daga yatsarsa, ya sa shi a yatsan Yusuf. Ya sanya masa rigar lallausan lilin, ya kuma sa masa sarƙar zinariya a wuyansa.
Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 Ya sa shi ya hau keken yaƙi a matsayi mai binsa na biyu, mutane kuwa suka yi shela a gabansa suna cewa, “A ba da hanya!” Ta haka ya sa shi shugaba a kan dukan ƙasar Masar.
And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire land of Egypt.
44 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ni ne Fir’auna, amma in ba tare da umarninka ba, ba wanda zai ɗaga hannu ko ƙafa a cikin dukan Masar.”
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt."
45 Fir’auna ya ba wa Yusuf suna Zafenat-Faneya, ya kuma ba shi Asenat’yar Fotifera firist na On, ta zama matarsa. Yusuf kuwa ya zaga dukan ƙasar Masar.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through the land of Egypt.
46 Yusuf yana zuwa shekara talatin sa’ad da ya shiga hidimar Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Yusuf kuwa ya fita daga gaban Fir’auna, ya zaga ko’ina a Masar.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 A shekaru bakwai na yalwa, ƙasar ta ba da amfani mai yawa.
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
48 Yusuf ya tattara dukan abincin da aka samu a waɗannan shekaru bakwai na yalwa a Masar, ya kuma yi ajiyarsu a cikin birane. A kowane birni, ya sa abincin da aka nome a kewayensa.
And he collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
49 Sai Yusuf ya tara hatsi da yawan gaske, kamar yashi a bakin teku, har sai da ya kāsa iya auna shi, gama ba a iya aunawa.
Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
50 Kafin shekarun yunwa su zo, Asenat’yar Fotifera, firist na On, ta haifa wa Yusuf’ya’ya maza biyu.
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Yusuf ya ba wa ɗansa na fari suna Manasse ya ce, “Gama Allah ya sa na mance dukan wahalata da dukan gidan mahaifina.”
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
52 Ya ba wa ɗansa na biyu suna Efraim ya ce, “Gama Allah ya wadata ni cikin wahalata.”
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Shekaru bakwai na yalwa a Masar suka zo ga ƙarshe,
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 sai shekaru bakwai na yunwa suka soma shigowa, kamar yadda Yusuf ya faɗa. Aka yi yunwa ko’ina amma ban da ƙasar Masar. Don akwai abinci.
Then the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 Sa’ad da dukan Masar ta fara jin yunwa, sai mutane suka yi wa Fir’auna kuka don abinci. Sai Fir’auna ya ce wa dukan Masarawa, “Ku tafi wurin Yusuf, ku kuma yi abin da ya faɗa muku.”
When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do."
56 Sa’ad da yunwa ta bazu a dukan ƙasar, sai Yusuf ya buɗe gidajen ajiya, ya kuma sayar da hatsi ga Masarawa, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a dukan Masar.
So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Dukan ƙasashe kuwa suka zo Masar don saya hatsi daga Yusuf, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a dukan duniya.
And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
