Farawa 48
1 Bayan wani lokaci aka faɗa wa Yusuf, “Mahaifinka yana ciwo.” Sai ya ɗauki’ya’yansa maza biyu, Manasse da Efraim suka tafi tare da shi.
And it comes to pass, after these things, that [one] says to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick”; and he takes his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Yaƙub, “Ɗanka Yusuf ya zo gare ka,” sai Isra’ila ya ƙoƙarta ya tashi ya zauna a kan gado.
And [one] declares [it] to Jacob and says, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthens himself, and sits on the bed.
3 Yaƙub ya ce wa Yusuf, “Allah Maɗaukaki ya bayyana gare ni a Luz a ƙasar Kan’ana, a can ya albarkace ni
And Jacob says to Joseph, “God Almighty has appeared to me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesses me,
4 ya kuma ce mini, ‘Zan sa ka yi ta haihuwa ka kuma riɓaɓɓanya, za ka ƙaru a yawa. Zan mai da kai al’ummar mutane, zan kuma ba ka wannan ƙasa tă zama madawwamiyar mallaka ga zuriyarka a bayanka.’
and says to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and given you for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to your seed after you, a continuous possession.
5 “To, yanzu,’ya’ya mazanka biyu da aka haifa maka a Masar kafin in zo a nan za su zama nawa; Efraim da Manasse za su zama nawa, kamar yadda Ruben da Simeyon suke nawa.
And now, your two sons, who are born to you in the land of Egypt, before my coming to you to Egypt, they [are] mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon, they are mine;
6 Duk waɗansu’ya’yan da aka haifa maka bayansu za su zama naka; a yankin da suka gāda za a lissafa a ƙarƙashin sunayen’yan’uwansu.
and your family which you have begotten after them are yours; by the name of their brothers they are called in their inheritance.
7 Yayinda nake dawowa daga Faddan Aram, cikin baƙin cikina Rahila ta rasu a ƙasar Kan’ana yayinda muke kan hanya,’yar rata daga Efrata. Saboda haka na binne ta a can kusa da hanya zuwa Efrata” (wato, Betlehem).
And I—in my coming in from Padan-[Aram] Rachel has died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a distance of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [is] Beth-Lehem.”
8 Sa’ad da Isra’ila ya ga’ya’yan Yusuf maza, sai ya yi tambaya, “Su wane ne waɗannan?”
And Israel sees the sons of Joseph and says, “Who [are] these?”
9 Yusuf ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Su ne’ya’yan da Allah ya ba ni a nan.” Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce, “Kawo mini su saboda in albarkace su.”
And Joseph says to his father, “They [are] my sons, whom God has given to me in this [place]”; and he says, “Please bring them to me, and I bless them.”
10 Yanzu fa idanun Isra’ila sun fara rasa ƙarfi saboda tsufa, har ba ya iya gani sosai. Saboda haka Yusuf ya kawo’ya’yansa maza kusa da shi, sai mahaifinsa ya sumbace su ya rungume su.
And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age—he is unable to see; and he brings them near to him, and he kisses them and cleaves to them;
11 Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ban yi tsammani zan ga fuskarka kuma ba, yanzu kuwa Allah ya bar ni in ga’ya’yanka su ma.”
and Israel says to Joseph, “I had not thought [possible] to see your face, and behold, God has also showed me your seed.”
12 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya ɗauke su daga gwiwoyin Isra’ila ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
And Joseph brings them out from between his knees, and bows himself on his face to the earth;
13 Yusuf ya ɗauke su biyu, Efraim a damansa zuwa hagun Isra’ila, Manasse kuma a hagunsa zuwa hannun daman Isra’ila, ya kuma kawo su kusa da shi.
and Joseph takes them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel’s right, and brings [them] near to him.
14 Amma Isra’ila ya miƙa hannun damansa ya sa shi a kan Efraim, ko da yake shi ne ƙaramin, ta wurin harɗewa hannuwansa, ya sa hannun hagunsa a kan Manasse, ko da yake Manasse ne ɗan farinsa.
And Israel puts out his right hand and places [it] on the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh; he has guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the firstborn.
15 Sa’an nan ya albarkaci Yusuf ya ce, “Bari Allah a gaban wanda kakannina Ibrahim da Ishaku suka yi tafiya, Allahn da ya zama makiyayina dukan raina zuwa wannan rana,
And he blesses Joseph and says, “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac habitually walked: God who is feeding me from my being to this day:
16 Mala’ikan da ya cece ni daga dukan cuta bari yă albarkaci samarin nan. Bari a kira su da sunana da sunayen kakannina Ibrahim da Ishaku bari kuma su ƙaru ƙwarai a bisa duniya.”
the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil blesses the youths, and my name is called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.”
17 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya ga mahaifinsa yana sa hannun damansa a kan Efraim bai ji daɗi ba; saboda haka ya ɗauke hannun mahaifinsa ya cire shi daga kan Efraim zuwa kan Manasse.
And Joseph sees that his father sets his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supports the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;
18 Yusuf ya ce masa, “A’a, mahaifina, wannan shi ne ɗan farin; ka sa hannunka na dama a kansa.”
and Joseph says to his father, “Not so, my father, for this [is] the firstborn; set your right hand on his head.”
19 Amma mahaifinsa ya ƙi ya ce, “Na sani, ɗana, na sani. Shi ma zai zama mutane, zai kuma zama mai girma. Duk da haka ɗan’uwansa zai zama mai girma fiye da shi, kuma zuriyarsa za tă zama ƙungiyar al’ummai.”
And his father refuses and says, “I have known, my son, I have known; he also becomes a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fullness of the nations”;
20 Ya albarkace su a wannan rana ya ce, “A cikin sunanku Isra’ila zai sa wannan albarka ‘Bari Allah yă sa ku zama kamar Efraim da Manasse.’” Saboda haka ya sa Efraim gaban Manasse.
and he blesses them in that day, saying, “By you does Israel bless, saying, God set you as Ephraim and as Manasseh”; and he sets Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ina gab da mutuwa, amma Allah zai kasance tare da ku
And Israel says to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, and God has been with you, and has brought you back to the land of your fathers;
22 Kuma gare ka, a matsayi wanda yake kan’yan’uwanka, na ba da gonar da na karɓe daga Amoriyawa da takobi da kuma bakana.”
and I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.”
