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.
And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.
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 silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.
3 Da gari ya waye, sai aka sallami mutanen tare da jakunansu.
The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.
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 out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and thou shalt overtake them, and say to them, Why have ye returned evil 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.’”
Why have ye stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; ye have accomplished evil in that which ye have done.
6 Sa’ad da ya same su, sai ya maimaita waɗannan kalmomi gare su.
And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.
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 our lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word.
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?
If we brought back to thee out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of thy lord?
9 In aka sami wani daga cikin bayinka da shi, zai mutu; sai sauran su zama bayin mai girma.”
With whomsoever of thy servants thou shalt find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.
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, Now then it shall be as ye say; with whomsoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and ye shall be clear.
11 Da sauri kowannensu ya sauko da buhunsa ƙasa, ya buɗe.
And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack.
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 searched, beginning from the eldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.
13 Ganin wannan sai suka kyakkece rigunansu. Sa’an nan suka jibga wa jakunansu kaya, suka koma birni.
And they rent their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city.
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.
And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground 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 to them, What is this thing that ye have done? know ye not that a man such as I can surely divine?
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 Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of thy servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.
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.”
And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do ye go up with safety to your father.
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.
And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let thy servant speak a word before thee, and be not angry with thy servant, for thou art next to Pharao.
19 Ranka yă daɗe ya tambayi bayinka ya ce, ‘Kuna da mahaifi ko ɗan’uwa?’
Sir, thou askedst thy servants, saying, Have ye 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 a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.
21 “Sai ka ce wa bayinka, ‘Ku kawo mini shi don in gan shi da kaina.’
And thou saidst to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of 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, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.
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 thou saidst to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, ye shall 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 it came to pass, when we went up to thy servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.
25 “Sai mahaifinmu ya ce, ‘Ku koma ku sayo ƙarin abinci.’
And our father said, Go again, and buy 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, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.
27 “Bawanka mahaifinmu ya ce mana, ‘Kun san cewa matata ta haifa mini’ya’ya biyu maza.
And thy servant our father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore 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.
and one is departed from me; and ye said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
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 then ye take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall ye bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (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,
Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)
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)
—it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and thy servants will bring down the old age of thy servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (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 thy servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty towards my father 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.
Now then I will remain a servant with thee instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.
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 shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
