Farawa 43
1 A yanzu, yunwa ta yi tsanani a ƙasar.
And the famine was grievous in the land.
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 it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy 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 spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
4 In za ka aika da ɗan’uwanmu tare da mu, za mu gangara mu sayo maka abinci.
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee 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 thou do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be 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 did ye deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet 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 asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
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.
And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
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.
I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I be guilty toward thee for ever.
10 Ai, da ba mun jinkirta ba, da mun komo har sau biyu.”
For had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.
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.
And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.
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 other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.
13 Ku ɗauki ɗan’uwanku kuma ku koma wurin mutumin nan da nan.
And take your brother, and arise, go again 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 the Almighty God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, am bereaved.
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.
And the men took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down 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 Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat with me at noon.
17 Mutumin ya yi kamar yadda Yusuf ya faɗa masa, ya kuwa ɗauki mutanen zuwa gidan Yusuf.
And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought 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.”
And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 Saboda haka suka je wurin mai yin wa Yusuf hidima, suka yi masa magana a bakin ƙofar gida.
And they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 Suka ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, mun zo nan ƙaro na farko don mu saya abinci,
and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the first to buy 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 it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Mun kuma kawo ƙarin azurfa tare da mu don mu saya abinci. Ba mu san wa ya sa azurfanmu a cikin buhunanmu ba.”
And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.
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.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon 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 man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed 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 made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya zo gida, sai suka ba shi kyautai da suka kawo, suka rusuna a gabansa har ƙasa.
When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
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 asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well — the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 Suka amsa, “Bawanka mahaifinmu yana da rai har yanzu da kuma ƙoshin lafiya.” Suka kuma rusuna suka yi mubaya’a.
And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed, and made obeisance.
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.”
And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, 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.
And Joseph made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the chamber, and wept there.
31 Bayan ya wanke fuskarsa, sai ya fito ya daure, ya umarta, “A kawo abinci.”
And he washed his face, and came out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread.
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 set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
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 sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.
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 he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry with him.
