< Farawa 47 >
1 Yusuf ya tafi yă faɗa wa Fir’auna, “Mahaifina da’yan’uwana, tare da garkunansu da shanunsu da kome da suke da shi, sun zo daga ƙasar Kan’ana, suna kuwa a Goshen yanzu.”
And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, 'My father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they [are] in the land of Goshen.'
2 Sai ya zaɓi mutum biyar daga cikin’yan’uwansa, ya gabatar da su a gaban Fir’auna.
And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;
3 Fir’auna ya tambayi’yan’uwan, “Mece ce sana’arku?” Suka amsa wa Fir’auna suka ce, “Bayinka makiyaya ne, kamar yadda kakanninmu suke.”
and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, 'What [are] your works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;'
4 Suka kuma ce masa, “Mun zo, mu zauna a nan na ɗan lokaci, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani a Kan’ana, dabbobin bayinka kuma ba su da wurin kiwo. Saboda haka yanzu, muna roƙonka, bari bayinka su zauna a Goshen.”
and they say unto Pharaoh, 'To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.'
5 Fir’auna ya ce wa Yusuf, “Mahaifinka da’yan’uwanka sun zo maka,
And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, 'Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:
6 ƙasar Masar kuma tana gabanka, ka zaunar da mahaifinka da’yan’uwanka a sashe mafi kyau na ƙasar, bari su zauna a Goshen. Idan kuma ka ga waɗansu a cikinsu da suka fi dacewa, sai ka sa su lura mini da shanuna.”
the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell — they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.'
7 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya shigar da Yaƙub mahaifinsa, ya gabatar da shi a gaban Fir’auna. Bayan Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna,
And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh.
8 sai Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, “Shekarunka nawa da haihuwa?”
And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, 'How many [are] the days of the years of thy life?'
9 Yaƙub kuwa ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Shekarun hijirata, shekaru ɗari da talatin ne. Shekaruna kaɗan ne cike da wahala, ba za a kuwa daidaita su da shekarun hijirar kakannina ba.”
And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, 'The days of the years of my sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'
10 Sai Yaƙub ya albarkaci Fir’auna, ya yi masa bankwana, sa’an nan ya fita.
And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.
11 Ta haka Yusuf ya zaunar da mahaifinsa da’yan’uwansa a Masar, ya ba su mallaka a sashe mafi kyau na ƙasar, a yankin nan na Rameses, kamar yadda Fir’auna ya umarta.
And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;
12 Yusuf ya kuma tanada wa mahaifinsa da kuma’yan’uwansa da dukan gidan mahaifinsa, abinci bisa ga yawan’ya’yansu.
and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.
13 A yanzu, a cikin ƙasar duka, ba abinci, gama yunwa ta yi tsanani ƙwarai, har ƙasar Masar da ƙasar Kan’ana suka shiga matsananciyar wahala!
And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;
14 Yusuf ya tattara dukan kuɗaɗen da suke a Masar da Kan’ana don biyan hatsin da suke saya, ya kuwa kawo su a fadan Fir’auna.
and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
15 Sa’ad da kuɗin mutanen Masar da Kan’ana suka ƙare, dukan Masar ta zo wurin Yusuf ta ce, “Ka ba mu abinci. Me zai sa mu mutu a idanunka? Kuɗinmu duk sun ƙare.”
And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, 'Give to us bread — why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?'
16 Yusuf ya ce, “To, ku kawo dabbobinku, zan sayar muku da abinci a madadin dabbobinku, tun da kuɗinku ya ƙare.”
and Joseph saith, 'Give your cattle; and I give to you for your cattle, if the money hath ceased.'
17 Saboda haka suka kawo dabbobinsu wa Yusuf, ya kuma ba su abinci a madadin dawakai, tumaki da awaki, shanu da jakunansu. Ya kuwa ba su abinci a madadin dabbobinsu, a wannan shekara.
And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that year.
18 Sa’ad da wannan shekara ta ƙare, sai suka zo wurinsa a shekara ta biye suka ce, “Ba za mu ɓoye maka ba ranka yă daɗe, kuɗinmu sun ƙare, dabbobinmu kuma sun zama naka. Ranka yă daɗe, in ban da jikunanmu da gonakinmu, ba abin da ya rage mana.
And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on the second year, and say to him, 'We do not hide from my lord, that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my lord save our bodies, and our ground;
19 Kada ka bar mu mu mutu, ka yi wata dabara! Kada ka bari mu rasa gonakinmu. Ka musaye mu da abinci, mu da gonakinmu. Mu kuwa za mu zama bayin Fir’auna. Ka ba mu iri don mu rayu, kada mu mutu, don kuma kada gonakin ƙasarmu su zama kango.”
why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not, and the ground is not desolate.'
20 Ta haka Yusuf ya saya wa Fir’auna ƙasar Masar duka, gama Masarawa duka sun sayar da gonakinsu, saboda yunwa ta tsananta musu. Ƙasar ta zama mallakar Fir’auna.
And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh's;
21 Yusuf kuwa ya mai da mutanen bayi, daga wannan iyakar Masar zuwa wancan.
as to the people he hath removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end.
22 Amma bai sayi gonakin firistoci ba, gama suna karɓa rabo daga Fir’auna ne, suna kuma da isashen abinci daga rabon da Fir’auna yake ba su. Dalilin ke nan da ba su sayar da gonakinsu ba.
Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.
23 Yusuf ya ce wa mutane, “Yanzu da na saye ku da kuma gonakinku a yau wa Fir’auna, ga iri don ku shuka a gonaki.
And Joseph saith unto the people, 'Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown the ground,
24 Amma sa’ad da hatsi suka nuna, za ku ba da kashi ɗaya bisa biyar ga Fir’auna. Sauran kashi huɗu bisa biyar kuma ku riƙe a matsayin iri don gonaki da kuma abinci wa kanku da gidajenku da kuma’ya’yanku.”
and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.'
25 Suka ce, “Ka ceci rayukanmu, in ya gamshe ka, ranka yă daɗe, za mu zama bayin Fir’auna.”
And they say, 'Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;'
26 Ta haka Yusuf ya kafa wannan ya zama doka game da ƙasa a Masar, har yă zuwa yau cewa kashi ɗaya bisa biyar na amfani gona ya zama na Fir’auna. Gonakin firistoci ne kaɗai ba su zama na Fir’auna ba.
and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh's.
27 To, Isra’ilawa suka zauna a Masar a yankin Goshen. Suka mallaki filaye a can, suka riɓaɓɓanya suka ƙaru ƙwarai.
And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;
28 Yaƙub ya yi zama a Masar shekaru goma sha bakwai, yawan shekarunsa duka sun zama ɗari da arba’in da bakwai.
and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.
29 Sa’ad da lokaci ya gabato da Isra’ila zai mutu, sai ya kira ɗansa Yusuf, ya ce masa, “Ka yi mini wannan alheri, ka sa hannunka ƙarƙashin cinyar ƙafata, ka yi mini alkawari saboda ina roƙonka kaɗa ka bizne ni a Masar,
And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
30 amma sa’ad da na huta da kakannina, ka ɗauke ni, ka fid da ni daga Masar, ka binne ni a inda aka binne su.” Yusuf ya ce, “Zan yi yadda ka faɗa.”
and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he saith, 'I — I do according to thy word;'
31 Yaƙub ya ce, “Ka rantse mini.” Sai Yusuf ya rantse masa, Isra’ila kuwa ya yi godiya ga Allah yayinda ya jingina a kan sandansa.
and he saith, 'Swear to me;' and he sweareth to him, and Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed.
