Farawa 42
1 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya sami labari cewa akwai hatsi a Masar, sai ya ce wa’ya’yansa maza, “Don me kuke duban juna kawai?”
Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
2 Ya ci gaba, “Na ji cewa akwai hatsi a Masar. Ku gangara can ku sayo mana, domin mu rayu kada mu mutu.”
He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."
3 Sai goma daga cikin’yan’uwan Yusuf suka gangara don su saya hatsi daga Masar.
So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Amma Yaƙub bai aiki Benyamin, ɗan’uwan Yusuf tare da sauran ba, gama yana tsoro kada wani abu yă faru da shi.
But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to him."
5 Sai’ya’yan Yaƙub suka isa Masar tare da sauran mutanen don sayen abinci, gama yunwar ta kai yankin Kan’ana ma.
So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 To, Yusuf ne gwamnar ƙasar wanda yake sayar da hatsi ga dukan mutanenta. Saboda haka sa’ad da’yan’uwan Yusuf suka isa, sai suka rusuna masa har ƙasa da fuskokinsu.
Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground.
7 Nan da nan da Yusuf ya ga’yan’uwansa, sai ya gane su, amma ya yi kamar baƙo, ya kuma yi musu magana da tsawa. Ya tambaya, “Daga ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Daga ƙasar Kan’ana, don mu saya abinci.”
Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."
8 Ko da yake Yusuf ya gane’yan’uwansa, su ba su gane shi ba.
So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9 Sa’an nan ya tuna da mafarkansa game da su, ya kuma ce musu, “Ku’yan leƙen asiri ne! Kun zo don ku leƙi asirin ƙasar ku ga inda ba ta da tsaro.”
Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."
10 Suka amsa suka ce, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, bayinka sun zo don saya abinci ne.
But they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
11 Mu duka’ya’yan mutum ɗaya maza ne. Bayinka mutane ne masu gaskiya, ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.”
We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."
12 Ya ce musu “Sam! Kun zo ne ku ga inda ƙasarmu babu tsaro.”
But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."
13 Amma suka amsa suka ce, “Bayinka dā su goma sha biyu ne,’yan’uwa,’ya’yan mutum guda maza, wanda yake zama a ƙasar Kan’ana. Ƙaraminmu yanzu yana tare da mahaifinmu, ɗayan kuma ya rasu.”
But they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, the youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."
14 Yusuf ya ce musu, “Daidai ne yadda na faɗa muku. Ku’yan leƙen asiri ne!
But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'
15 Ga kuwa yadda za a gwada ku. Muddin Fir’auna yana a raye, ba za ku bar wannan wuri ba sai ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku ya zo nan.
This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until your youngest brother comes here.
16 Ku aiki ɗaya daga cikinku yă kawo ɗan’uwanku; za a sa sauranku a kurkuku, saboda a gwada maganarku a ga ko gaskiya ce kuke faɗi. In ba haka ba, to, da ran Fir’auna, ku’yan leƙen asiri ne!”
Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."
17 Ya kuwa sa su duka a kurkuku na kwana uku.
So he put all of them together in prison for three days.
18 A rana ta uku, Yusuf ya ce musu, “Ku yi wannan za ku kuwa rayu, gama ina tsoron Allah.
Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.
19 In ku mutane masu gaskiya ne, ku bar ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwanku yă zauna a kurkuku, yayinda sauranku su tafi, su kai hatsi don gidajenku da suke yunwa.
If you are honest, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.
20 Amma dole ku kawo ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku gare ni, saboda a tabbatar da maganarku har ba za ku mutu ba.” Suka kuwa yi haka.
But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.
21 Sai suka ce wa juna, “Tabbatacce ana hukunta mu ne saboda ɗan’uwanmu. Mun ga yadda ya yi wahala sa’ad da ya roƙe mu saboda ransa, amma ba mu saurare shi ba, shi ya sa wannan wahala ta zo mana.”
Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us."
22 Ruben ya amsa, “Ban faɗa muku cewa kada ku ɗauki alhakin yaron nan ba, sai kuka ƙi ji, to, yau ga alhakin jininsa muke biya.”
Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."
23 Ba su san cewa Yusuf yana jin su ba, da yake yana amfani da mai fassara ne.
Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.
24 Sai ya juya daga gare su ya yi kuka, sa’an nan ya dawo ya yi musu magana kuma. Ya sa aka ɗauke Simeyon daga gare su, aka daure shi a idanunsu.
He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.
25 Yusuf ya yi umarni a cika buhunansu da hatsi, a kuma sa azurfan kowane mutum a cikin buhunsa, a kuma ba su kalaci don tafiyarsu. Bayan aka yi musu wannan,
Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.
26 suka jibga hatsinsu a kan jakuna, sai suka kama hanya.
They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
27 A wurin da suka tsaya don su kwana, ɗaya daga cikinsu ya buɗe buhunsa don yă ciyar da jakinsa, sai ya ga azurfansa a bakin buhunsa.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 Sai ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “An mayar mini da azurfata. Ga shi a cikin buhuna.” Zuciyarsu ta karai, suka dubi juna suna rawan jiki, suka ce, “Mene ne wannan da Allah ya yi mana?”
He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"
29 Sa’ad da suka zo wurin mahaifinsu Yaƙub a ƙasar Kan’ana, suka faɗa masa dukan abin da ya faru da su. Suka ce,
Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 “Mutumin da yake shugaba a ƙasar ya yi mana matsananciyar magana, ya kuma ɗauke mu tamƙar’yan leƙen asirin ƙasa.
"The man, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.
31 Amma muka ce masa, ‘Mu masu gaskiya ne; mu ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.
But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.
32 Dā mu’yan’uwa ne goma sha biyu,’ya’yan mahaifi guda maza. Ɗayanmu ya rasu, kuma ƙaramin yanzu yana tare da mahaifinmu a Kan’ana.’
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.'
33 “Sai mutumin wanda yake shugaba a kan ƙasar ya ce mana, ‘Ga yadda zan san ko ku mutane masu gaskiya ne. Ku bar ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwanku a nan tare da ni, ku ɗauki abinci domin gidajenku masu yunwa, ku tafi.
The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.
34 Amma ku kawo mini ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku domin in san cewa ku ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne, amma mutane ne masu gaskiya. Sa’an nan zan mayar muku da ɗan’uwanku, ku kuma iya yin sana’a a ƙasar.’”
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel in the land.'"
35 Yayinda suke juyewa hatsi daga buhunansu, sai ga ƙunshin azurfan kowane mutum a buhunsa! Sa’ad da su da mahaifinsu suka ga ƙunshe-ƙunshen kuɗi, suka firgita.
Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
36 Yaƙub mahaifinsu, ya ce musu, “Kun sa ni rashin’ya’yana. Yusuf ya rasu, Simeyon kuma ba ya nan, yanzu kuma kuna so ku ɗauki Benyamin. Kome yana gāba da ni!”
Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come against me."
37 Sai Ruben ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ka kashe dukan’ya’yana maza, in ban dawo da shi gare ka ba. Ka sa shi ga kulawata, zan kuwa dawo da shi.”
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back to you."
38 Amma Yaƙub ya ce, “Ɗana ba zai gangara zuwa can tare da ku ba, ɗan’uwansa ya rasu, shi ne kaɗai ya rage. In wani abu ya faru da shi a tafiyar da za ku yi, za ku sa furfurata ta gangara zuwa kabari cikin baƙin ciki.” (Sheol h7585)
But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol." (Sheol h7585)
