Farawa 46
1 Saboda haka Isra’ila ya kama hanya da dukan abin da yake nasa, sa’ad da ya kai Beyersheba, sai ya miƙa hadayu ga Allah na Ishaku, mahaifinsa.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 Allah kuwa ya yi magana ga Isra’ila a wahayi da dare ya ce, “Yaƙub! Yaƙub!” Yaƙub kuwa ya amsa ya ce, “Ga ni.”
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Sai Allah ya ce, “Ni ne Allah, Allah na mahaifinka. Kada ka ji tsoron zuwa Masar, gama zan mai da kai al’umma mai girma a can.
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 Zan gangara zuwa Masar tare da kai, tabbatacce zan sāke dawo da kai. Kuma hannun Yusuf zai rufe idanunka.”
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
5 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba,’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, suka ɗauki mahaifinsu Yaƙub da’ya’yansu da matansu a cikin wagonun da Fir’auna ya aika don a kawo shi.
Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
6 Suka kuma ɗauki dabbobinsu da mallakarsu, da suka samu a Kan’ana, Yaƙub kuwa da dukan zuriyarsa suka tafi Masar.
So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
7 Ya ɗauki’ya’yansa maza da jikokinsa da’ya’yansa mata da jikokinsa mata, dukan zuriyarsa zuwa Masar.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.

Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
27 In aka haɗa da’ya’yan nan maza guda biyu waɗanda aka haifa wa Yusuf a Masar, membobin iyalin Yaƙub, waɗanda suka tafi Masar, duka su saba’in ne.
Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
28 To, Yaƙub ya aiki Yahuda yă yi gaba yă sadu da Yusuf, don yă nuna musu hanyar da za su bi zuwa yankin Goshen. Da suka isa yankin Goshen,
Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
29 sai Yusuf ya kintsa keken yaƙinsa ya haura zuwa Goshen don yă taryi mahaifinsa, Isra’ila. Nan da nan da isowar Yusuf a wurin mahaifinsa, sai ya rungumi mahaifinsa, ya yi kuka na dogon lokaci.
Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
30 Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Yanzu ina a shirye in mutu, da yake na gani da kaina cewa har yanzu kana da rai.”
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya ce wa’yan’uwansa da gidan mahaifinsa, “Zan haura in yi magana da Fir’auna, zan kuwa ce masa, ‘’Yan’uwana da gidan mahaifina, waɗanda suke zaune a ƙasar Kan’ana, sun zo wurina.
Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
32 Mutanen fa, makiyaya ne; suna kiwon dabbobi, sun kuma zo tare da garkunansu da shanunsa da kuma kome da suka mallaka.’
The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
33 Sa’ad da Fir’auna ya kira ku ciki, ya yi tambaya, ‘Mece ce sana’arku?’
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 Ku amsa, ‘Bayinka suna kiwon dabbobi ne, tun muna samari har zuwa yanzu, kamar yadda kakanninmu suka yi.’ Ta haka za a bar ku ku zauna a yankin Goshen, gama Masarawa suna ƙyamar makiyaya.”
answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
