Farawa 45
1 Yusuf bai ƙara iya daurewa a gaban dukan masu yi masa hidima ba, sai ya yi kuka da ƙarfi ya ce, “Kowa yă tashi daga gabana!” Saboda haka ba kowa a wurin sa’ad da Yusuf ya sanar da kansa ga’yan’uwansa.
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
2 Sai ya yi kuka da ƙarfi har Masarawa suka ji, har labarin ya kai gidan Fir’auna.
But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
3 Yusuf kuwa ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “Ni ne Yusuf! Mahaifina yana nan da rai har yanzu?” Amma’yan’uwansa ba su iya amsa masa ba, gama sun firgita ƙwarai a gabansa.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.
4 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “Ku zo kusa da ni.” Da suka yi haka, sai ya ce, “Ni ne ɗan’uwanku Yusuf, wannan da kuka sayar zuwa Masar!
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!
5 Yanzu dai, kada ku damu, kada kuma ku yi fushi da kanku saboda kun sayar da ni a nan, gama Allah ya aiko ni gabanku ne don in ceci rayuka.
And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.
6 Ga shi shekaru biyu ke nan ake yunwa a ƙasar, kuma da sauran shekara biyar masu zuwa da ba za a yi noma ko girbi ba.
For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
7 Amma Allah ya aiko ni gabanku ne don in adana muku raguwa a duniya, in kuma ceci rayukanku ta wurin ceto mai girma.
God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 “Saboda haka fa, ba ku ba ne kuka aiko ni nan, Allah ne. Ya mai da ni mahaifi ga Fir’auna, shugaban dukan gidansa da kuma mai mulkin dukan Masar.
Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Yanzu sai ku gaggauta zuwa wurin mahaifina ku faɗa masa, ‘Abin da ɗanka Yusuf ya ce; Allah ya mai da ni shugaban dukan Masar. Gangaro wurina; kada ka jinkirta.
Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.
10 Za ka yi zama a yankin Goshen, ka kasance kusa da ni. Kai,’ya’yanka da kuma jikokinka, garkunanka da shanunka, da kuma dukan abin da kake da shi.
You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.
11 Zan tanada maka a nan, domin akwai saura shekaru biyar na yunwa masu zuwa. In ba haka ba, kai da gidanka da dukan mallakarka za ku zama gajiyayyu.’
And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’
12 “Ku kanku kun gani, haka ma ɗan’uwana Benyamin, cewa tabbatacce ni ne nake magana da ku.
Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.
13 Faɗa wa mahaifina game da dukan girman da aka ba ni a Masar, da kuma game da kome da kuka gani. Ku kuma kawo mahaifina a nan da sauri.”
Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
14 Sa’an nan ya rungume ɗan’uwansa Benyamin ya yi kuka, sai Benyamin ya rungume shi yana kuka.
Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.
15 Ya sumbaci dukan’yan’uwansa, ya kuma yi kuka a kansu. Bayan haka sai’yan’uwansa suka yi masa magana.
Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
16 Sa’ad da labarin ya kai fadan Fir’auna cewa’yan’uwan Yusuf sun zo, sai Fir’auna da dukan hafsoshin suka ji daɗi.
When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
17 Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Faɗa wa’yan’uwanka, ‘Yi wannan; ku jibge dabbobinku ku koma zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
18 Ku kawo mahaifinku da iyalanku zuwa wurina. Zan ba ku mafi kyau na ƙasar Masar, za ku kuwa ci moriyar ƙasar.’
Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’
19 “An kuma umarce ka, ka faɗa musu, ‘Ku yi wannan, ku ɗauki wagonu daga Masar domin’ya’yanku da matanku, ku ɗauki mahaifinku ku zo.
You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.
20 Kada ku damu da mallakarku, gama mafi kyau na Masar za su zama naku.’”
But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
21 Sai’ya’yan Isra’ila maza suka yi haka. Yusuf ya ba su wagonu kamar yadda Fir’auna ya umarta, ya kuma ba su guzuri don tafiyarsu.
So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
22 Ya ba da sababbin riguna ga kowannensu amma ga Benyamin ya ba shi shekel ɗari uku na azurfa da riguna kashi biyar.
He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
23 Ga kuma abin da ya aika wa mahaifinsa, jakuna goma da aka jibge da abubuwa mafi kyau na Masar, da jakuna mata guda goma ɗauke da hatsi da burodi da waɗansu tanade-tanade don tafiyarsa.
And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
24 Sa’an nan ya sallami’yan’uwansa, yayinda suke barin wurin ya ce musu, “Kada ku yi faɗa a hanya!”
Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
25 Saboda haka suka haura, suka fita daga Masar, suka zo wurin maihaifinsu Yaƙub a ƙasar Kan’ana.
So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
26 Suka faɗa masa, “Yusuf yana da rai! Gaskiya, shi ne mai mulkin dukan Masar.” Gaban Yaƙub ya fāɗi, domin bai gaskata su ba.
“Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.
27 Amma sa’ad da suka faɗa masa kome da Yusuf ya faɗa musu, da kuma sa’ad da ya ga wagonun da Yusuf ya aika don a ɗauke shi a kai da shi can, sai ya farfaɗo, ya dawo cikin hankalinsa.
However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.
28 Sai Yaƙub ya ce, “Na yarda! Ɗana Yusuf yana da rai har yanzu. Zan tafi in gan shi kafin in mutu.”
“Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
