Farawa 44

1 Yusuf kuwa ya ba wa mai yin masa hidima a gida, waɗannan umarnai cewa, “Cika buhunan mutanen nan da abinci iyakar yadda za su iya ɗauka, ka kuma sa kuɗin kowanne a bakin buhunsa.

Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;

2 Sa’an nan ka sa kwaf nawa, wannan na azurfa a bakin buhun autan, tare da kuɗinsa na hatsi.” Sai mai hidimar ya yi kamar yadda Yusuf ya umarta.

And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

3 Da gari ya waye, sai aka sallami mutanen tare da jakunansu.

And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.

4 Ba su yi nisa da birnin ba sa’ad da Yusuf ya ce wa mai yin masa hidima, “Tashi, ka bi waɗannan mutane nan da nan, in ka same su, ka ce musu, ‘Me ya sa kuka sāka alheri da mugunta?

And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?

5 Ba da wannan kwaf ne maigidana yake sha daga ciki yana kuma yin amfani da shi don duba? Wannan mugun abu ne da kuka yi.’”

Is not this the cup from which my lord takes wine and by which he gets knowledge of the future? Truly, you have done evil.

6 Sa’ad da ya same su, sai ya maimaita waɗannan kalmomi gare su.

So he overtook them and said these words to them.

7 Amma suka ce masa, “Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe yake faɗin irin waɗannan abubuwa? Allah yă sawwaƙe bayinka su yi irin wannan abu!

And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:

8 Mun ma dawo maka da kuɗin da muka samu a cikin bakunan buhunanmu daga ƙasar Kan’ana. Saboda haka me zai sa mu saci azurfa ko zinariya daga gidan maigidanka?

See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?

9 In aka sami wani daga cikin bayinka da shi, zai mutu; sai sauran su zama bayin mai girma.”

If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

10 Sai ya ce, “To, shi ke nan, bari yă zama yadda kuka faɗa. Duk wanda aka same shi da kwaf na azurfan zai zama bawana, sauran kuwa za su’yantu daga zargin.”

And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

11 Da sauri kowannensu ya sauko da buhunsa ƙasa, ya buɗe.

Then every man quickly got his bag down and undid it.

12 Sa’an nan mai hidimar ya fara bincike, farawa daga babba, ya ƙare a ƙaramin. Aka kuwa sami kwaf ɗin a buhun Benyamin.

And he made a search, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was in Benjamin's bag.

13 Ganin wannan sai suka kyakkece rigunansu. Sa’an nan suka jibga wa jakunansu kaya, suka koma birni.

Then in bitter grief they put the bags on the asses again and went back to the town.

14 Yusuf yana nan har yanzu a gida sa’ad da Yahuda da’yan’uwansa suka shiga, suka fāɗi rub da ciki a ƙasa a gabansa.

So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.

15 Yusuf ya ce musu, “Mene ne wannan da kuka yi? Ba ku san cewa mutum kamar ni yana iya gane abubuwa ta wurin duba ba?”

And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?

16 Yahuda ya amsa ya ce, “Me za mu ce wa ranka yă daɗe? Yaya kuma za mu wanke kanmu daga wannan zargi? Allah ya tona laifin bayinka. Ga mu, za mu zama bayinka, da mu da wanda aka sami kwaf ɗin a hannunsa.”

And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.

17 Amma Yusuf ya ce, “Allah yă sawwaƙe in yi haka! Mutumin da aka sami kwaf ɗin a hannunsa ne kaɗai zai zama bawana. Sauranku, ku koma ga mahaifinku da salama.”

Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

18 Sai Yahuda ya haura zuwa wurinsa ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, roƙo nake, bari bawanka yă yi magana da ranka yă daɗe. Kada ka yi fushi da bawanka, ko da yake daidai kake da Fir’auna kansa.

Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

19 Ranka yă daɗe ya tambayi bayinka ya ce, ‘Kuna da mahaifi ko ɗan’uwa?’

My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?

20 Muka kuwa amsa, ‘Muna da mahaifi tsoho, akwai kuma ɗa matashi, wanda aka haifa masa cikin tsufarsa. Ɗan’uwansa ya rasu, shi ne kuwa ɗa kaɗai na mahaifiyarsa da ya rage, mahaifinsa kuwa yana ƙaunarsa.’

And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.

21 “Sai ka ce wa bayinka, ‘Ku kawo mini shi don in gan shi da kaina.’

And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

22 Muka kuwa ce wa ranka yă daɗe, ‘Saurayin ba zai iya barin mahaifinsa ba, gama in ya bar shi, mahaifinsa zai mutu.’

And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.

23 Amma ka faɗa wa bayinka, ‘Sai kun kawo ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku tare da ku, in ba haka ba, ba za ku sāke ganin fuskata ba.’

But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.

24 Sa’ad da muka koma wurin bawanka mahaifinmu, sai muka faɗa masa abin da ranka yă daɗe ya ce.

And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.

25 “Sai mahaifinmu ya ce, ‘Ku koma ku sayo ƙarin abinci.’

And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.

26 Amma muka ce, ‘Ba za mu iya gangarawa ba, sai in ƙaramin ɗan’uwanmu yana tare da mu. Ba za mu iya ganin fuskar mutumin ba, sai ƙaramin ɗan’uwanmu yana tare mu.’

And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.

27 “Bawanka mahaifinmu ya ce mana, ‘Kun san cewa matata ta haifa mini’ya’ya biyu maza.

And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;

28 Ɗayansu ya tafi daga gare ni, na kuwa ce, “Tabbatacce an yayyage shi kaca-kaca.” Ban kuwa gan shi ba tuntuni.

The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,

29 In kun ɗauki wannan daga wurina shi ma wani abu ya same shi, za ku kawo furfura kaina zuwa kabari cikin baƙin ciki.’ (Sheol h7585)

If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)

30 “Saboda haka yanzu, in saurayin ba ya nan tare da mu sa’ad da na koma ga bawanka mahaifina, in kuma mahaifina, wanda ransa yana daure kurkusa da ran saurayin,

If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,

31 ya ga cewa saurayin ba ya nan, zai mutu. Bayinka za su sa bawanka, mahaifinmu, yă mutu cikin baƙin ciki, da tsufansa. (Sheol h7585)

When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)

32 Gama ni baranka na ɗauki lamunin saurayin a wurin mahaifinsa da cewa, ‘In ban komo maka da shi ba, sai alhakinsa yă zauna a kaina a gaban mahaifina, dukan raina!’

For I made myself responsible for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

33 “To, yanzu, ina roƙonka bari bawanka yă zauna a nan a matsayin bawanka, ranka yă daɗe a maimakon saurayin, a kuma bar saurayin yă koma da’yan’uwansa.

So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

34 Yaya zan koma ga mahaifina, in saurayin ba ya tare da ni? A’a! Kada ka bari in ga baƙin cikin da zai auko wa mahaifina.”

For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?
