< 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.
Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
2 Sai ya yi kuka da ƙarfi har Masarawa suka ji, har labarin ya kai gidan Fir’auna.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
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.
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
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!
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom 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.
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
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 it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
7 Amma Allah ya aiko ni gabanku ne don in adana muku raguwa a duniya, in kuma ceci rayukanku ta wurin ceto mai girma.
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
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.
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in 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.
Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
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.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
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 feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
12 “Ku kanku kun gani, haka ma ɗan’uwana Benyamin, cewa tabbatacce ni ne nake magana da ku.
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to 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.”
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
14 Sa’an nan ya rungume ɗan’uwansa Benyamin ya yi kuka, sai Benyamin ya rungume shi yana kuka.
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
15 Ya sumbaci dukan’yan’uwansa, ya kuma yi kuka a kansu. Bayan haka sai’yan’uwansa suka yi masa magana.
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to 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.
And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
17 Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Faɗa wa’yan’uwanka, ‘Yi wannan; ku jibge dabbobinku ku koma zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana,
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
18 Ku kawo mahaifinku da iyalanku zuwa wurina. Zan ba ku mafi kyau na ƙasar Masar, za ku kuwa ci moriyar ƙasar.’
And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow 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.
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
20 Kada ku damu da mallakarku, gama mafi kyau na Masar za su zama naku.’”
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be 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.
And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
22 Ya ba da sababbin riguna ga kowannensu amma ga Benyamin ya ba shi shekel ɗari uku na azurfa da riguna kashi biyar.
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
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.
Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 Sa’an nan ya sallami’yan’uwansa, yayinda suke barin wurin ya ce musu, “Kada ku yi faɗa a hanya!”
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25 Saboda haka suka haura, suka fita daga Masar, suka zo wurin maihaifinsu Yaƙub a ƙasar Kan’ana.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
26 Suka faɗa masa, “Yusuf yana da rai! Gaskiya, shi ne mai mulkin dukan Masar.” Gaban Yaƙub ya fāɗi, domin bai gaskata su ba.
And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet 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.
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
28 Sai Yaƙub ya ce, “Na yarda! Ɗana Yusuf yana da rai har yanzu. Zan tafi in gan shi kafin in mutu.”
And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
