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 instructed the manager of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver 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.

Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, along with the silver for his grain." So he did according to the word that Joseph had told him.

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

As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent off along with their donkeys.

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?

When they were far from the city, Joseph said to his manager, "Up, go after the men, and when you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you repaid 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 you stolen my silver cup? Isn't it from this that my lord drinks and by which he indeed uses for divination? You have done evil in doing this.'"

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

And he caught up with them and spoke 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!

But they said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should 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?

Look, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal 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.”

With whomever of your servants it is found, he must die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

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, "Very well, then, it will be as you say. The one with whom it is found will be my slave, but you will be blameless."

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

Then they hurried, and each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened 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 with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

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

Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey 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.

So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there, and they fell to 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 deed that you have done? Didn't you know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"

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.”

Then Judah said, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered the guilt of your servants. Look, we are my lord's slaves, both we, and the one in whose possession the cup was 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.”

But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose possession the cup was found, he will be my slave. But as for you, go up 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 approached him, and said, "My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not become angry with your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.

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

My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have 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 a child born when he was old, a little one, and his brother is dead, and he is his mother's only child, and his father loves him.'

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

Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, so that I can see him myself.'

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 boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would 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 you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down 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 it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

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

But our father said, 'Go again, 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.’

We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'

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

Then your servant my father said to us, 'You 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 the one disappeared from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces." And I haven't seen him since.

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 you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (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,

So now, when I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy'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 will happen, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (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 your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'

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, please let your servant remain instead of the boy, a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up 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 will I go up to my father if the boy isn't with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come on my father."
