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 when Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2 Ya ci gaba, “Na ji cewa akwai hatsi a Masar. Ku gangara can ku sayo mana, domin mu rayu kada mu mutu.”
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: go down there, and buy for us from there; that we may live, and not die.
3 Sai goma daga cikin’yan’uwan Yusuf suka gangara don su saya hatsi daga Masar.
And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain in 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 Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest perhaps harm shall befall him.
5 Sai’ya’yan Yaƙub suka isa Masar tare da sauran mutanen don sayen abinci, gama yunwar ta kai yankin Kan’ana ma.
And the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came: 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.
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
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.”
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to 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.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not 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.”
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said to them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land have ye come.
10 Suka amsa suka ce, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, bayinka sun zo don saya abinci ne.
And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food have thy servants come.
11 Mu duka’ya’yan mutum ɗaya maza ne. Bayinka mutane ne masu gaskiya, ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.”
We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men, thy servants are no spies.
12 Ya ce musu “Sam! Kun zo ne ku ga inda ƙasarmu babu tsaro.”
And he said to them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land have ye come.
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.”
And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Yusuf ya ce musu, “Daidai ne yadda na faɗa muku. Ku’yan leƙen asiri ne!
And Joseph said to them, That is what I spoke to you, saying, Ye 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.
By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here, except your youngest brother shall come 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 bring your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there is any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
17 Ya kuwa sa su duka a kurkuku na kwana uku.
And he put them all together into prison three days.
18 A rana ta uku, Yusuf ya ce musu, “Ku yi wannan za ku kuwa rayu, gama ina tsoron Allah.
And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, 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 ye are honest men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses:
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 shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
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.”
And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress 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.”
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the young man; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
23 Ba su san cewa Yusuf yana jin su ba, da yake yana amfani da mai fassara ne.
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke to them by 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.
And he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
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 commanded to fill their sacks with grain, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he to them.
26 suka jibga hatsinsu a kan jakuna, sai suka kama hanya.
And they loaded their donkeys with the 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.
And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the inn, he discovered his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.
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?”
And he said to his brethren, My money is restored; and, see, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath 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,
And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell 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, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 Amma muka ce masa, ‘Mu masu gaskiya ne; mu ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.
And we said to him, We are honest men; we are no 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 brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day 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.
And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, By this shall I know that ye are honest men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and depart:
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.’”
And bring your youngest brother to me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are honest men: then will I deliver to you your brother, and ye shall trade 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.
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, 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!”
And Jacob their father said to them, Me have ye bereaved: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are 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.”
And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
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)
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if harm shall befall him by the way in which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
