Farawa 43
1 A yanzu, yunwa ta yi tsanani a ƙasar.
Now the land was in bitter need of food.
2 Saboda haka sa’ad da suka cinye dukan hatsin da suka kawo daga Masar, mahaifinsu ya ce musu, “Ku koma, ku sayo mana ƙarin abinci.”
And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.
3 Amma Yahuda ya ce masa, “Mutumin ya gargaɗe mu sosai cewa, ‘Ba za ku sāke ganin fuskata ba sai in ɗan’uwanku yana tare da ku.’
And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.
4 In za ka aika da ɗan’uwanmu tare da mu, za mu gangara mu sayo maka abinci.
If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:
5 Amma in ba za ka aika da shi ba, ba za mu gangara ba, gama mutumin ya ce mana, ‘Ba za ku sāke ganin fuskata ba sai ko in ɗan’uwanku yana tare da ku.’”
But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.
6 Isra’ila ya yi tambaya, “Me ya sa kuka kawo wannan damuwa a kaina ta wurin faɗa wa mutumin cewa kuna da wani ɗan’uwa?”
And Israel said, Why were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had a brother?
7 Suka amsa, “Mutumin ya yi mana tambaya sosai game da kanmu da iyalinmu. Ya tambaye mu, ‘Mahaifinku yana da rai har yanzu? Kuna da wani ɗan’uwa?’ Mu dai mun amsa tambayoyinsa ne. Ta yaya za mu sani zai ce, ‘Ku kawo ɗan’uwanku a nan’?”
And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?
8 Sa’an nan Yahuda ya ce wa Isra’ila mahaifinsa, “Ka aika saurayin tare da ni za mu kuwa tafi nan da nan, saboda mu da’ya’yanmu mu rayu, kada mu mutu.
Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.
9 Ni kaina zan tabbatar da lafiyarsa; na ɗauki lamuninsa, a hannuna za ka neme shi. In ban dawo da shi gare ka, in sa shi nan a gabanka ba, zan ɗauki laifin a gabanka dukan kwanakina.
Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
10 Ai, da ba mun jinkirta ba, da mun komo har sau biyu.”
Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
11 Sa’an nan mahaifinsu Isra’ila ya ce musu, “In dole ne a yi haka, to, sai ku yi. Ku sa waɗansu amfani mafi kyau na ƙasar a buhunanku, ku ɗauka zuwa wurin mutumin a matsayin kyauta, da ɗan man ƙanshi na shafawa, da kuma’yar zuma, da kayan yaji, da ƙaro, da tsabar citta da kuma almon.
Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:
12 Ku ɗauki ninki biyu na yawan azurfa tare da ku, gama dole ku mayar da azurfan da aka sa a cikin bakunan buhunanku. Mai yiwuwa an yi haka a kuskure ne.
And take twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;
13 Ku ɗauki ɗan’uwanku kuma ku koma wurin mutumin nan da nan.
And take your brother and go back to the man:
14 Bari Allah Maɗaukaki yă nuna muku alheri a gaban mutumin saboda yă bar ɗan’uwanku da Benyamin su dawo tare da ku. Ni kuwa, in na yi rashi, na yi rashi.”
And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.
15 Saboda haka mutanen suka ɗauki kyautar, da kuma kuɗin da ya ninka na farko. Suka kuma ɗauki Benyamin, suka gaggauta suka gangara zuwa Masar suka kuma gabatar da kansu ga Yusuf.
So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
16 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya ga Benyamin tare da su, sai ya ce wa mai hidimar gidansa, “Ka shigar da mutanen cikin gida, ka yanka dabba ka shirya, gama mutanen za su ci abincin rana tare da ni.”
And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.
17 Mutumin ya yi kamar yadda Yusuf ya faɗa masa, ya kuwa ɗauki mutanen zuwa gidan Yusuf.
And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.
18 Mutanen dai suka firgita sa’ad da aka ɗauke su zuwa gidansa. Suka yi tunani, “An kawo mu nan ne saboda azurfan da aka sa a cikin buhunanmu da farko. Yana so yă fāɗa mana, yă kuma sha ƙarfinmu, yă ƙwace mu kamar bayi, yă kuma kwashe jakunanmu.”
Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.
19 Saboda haka suka je wurin mai yin wa Yusuf hidima, suka yi masa magana a bakin ƙofar gida.
So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,
20 Suka ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, mun zo nan ƙaro na farko don mu saya abinci,
And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;
21 amma a inda muka tsaya don mu kwana, da muka buɗe buhunanmu sai kowannenmu ya sami azurfansa daidai a bakin buhunsa. Saboda haka ga kuɗin a hannunmu, mun sāke komowa da su.
And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;
22 Mun kuma kawo ƙarin azurfa tare da mu don mu saya abinci. Ba mu san wa ya sa azurfanmu a cikin buhunanmu ba.”
As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.
23 Sai mai hidimar ya ce, “Ba kome, kada ku ji tsoro. Allahnku, Allahn mahaifinku ne ya ba ku dukiyar a cikin buhunanku; ni dai, na karɓi azurfanku.” Sa’an nan ya fitar musu da Simeyon.
Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.
24 Mai yin hidimar ya ɗauki mutane zuwa gidan Yusuf ya ba su ruwa su wanke ƙafafunsu, ya kuma tanada wa jakunansu abinci.
And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.
25 Suka shirya kyautansu domin isowar Yusuf da rana, gama sun ji cewa zai ci abinci a nan.
And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.
26 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya zo gida, sai suka ba shi kyautai da suka kawo, suka rusuna a gabansa har ƙasa.
And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.
27 Ya tambaye su, yaya suke, sa’an nan ya ce, “Yaya tsohon nan mahaifinku da kuka faɗa mini? Yana da rai har yanzu?”
And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?
28 Suka amsa, “Bawanka mahaifinmu yana da rai har yanzu da kuma ƙoshin lafiya.” Suka kuma rusuna suka yi mubaya’a.
And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.
29 Da ya ɗaga idanu, sai ya ga ɗan’uwansa Benyamin, ɗan mahaifiyarsa, sai ya yi tambaya, “Wannan ne ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku, wanda kuka faɗa mini a kai?” Ya kuma ce, “Allah yă yi maka albarka, ɗana.”
Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.
30 Saboda motsi mai zurfi da zuciyarsa ta yi da ganin ɗan’uwansa, sai Yusuf ya gaggauta ya fita, ya nemi wuri yă yi kuka. Ya shiga ɗakinsa ya yi kuka a can.
Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.
31 Bayan ya wanke fuskarsa, sai ya fito ya daure, ya umarta, “A kawo abinci.”
Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.
32 Sai aka raba musu abinci, nasa shi kaɗai su kuma su kaɗai, domin Masarawa ba sa cin abinci tare da Ibraniyawa, gama wannan abin ƙyama ne ga Masarawa.
And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.
33 Aka zaunar da’yan’uwan Yusuf a gabansa bisa ga shekarunsu, daga ɗan fari zuwa auta.’Yan’uwan kuwa suka duddubi juna suna mamaki.
And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.
34 Daga teburin da yake a gaban Yusuf aka riƙa ɗibar rabonsu ana kai musu, amma rabon Benyamin ya yi biyar ɗin na kowannensu. Suka kuwa sha, suka yi murna tare da shi.
And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.
