1 Yusuf kuwa ya fāɗa a kan mahaifinsa, ya yi kuka a kansa, ya kuma sumbace shi.
Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
2 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya umarci masu maganin da suke yin masa hidima, su shafe mahaifinsa Isra’ila da maganin hana ruɓa. Saboda haka masu maganin suka shafe shi da maganin hana ruɓa.
And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
3 Suka ɗauki kwana arba’in cif suna yin wannan, gama kwanakin da ake bukata ke nan don shafewa da maganin hana ruɓa. Masarawa kuwa suka yi makoki dominsa kwana saba’in.
And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for seventy days.
4 Sa’ad da kwanakin makoki suka wuce, sai Yusuf ya ce wa iyalin gidan Fir’auna, “In na sami tagomashi a idanunku, ku yi magana da Fir’auna domina. Ku faɗa masa,
And when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
5 ‘Mahaifina ya sa na yi rantsuwa, ya kuma ce, “Ina gab da mutuwa, ka binne ni a kabarin da na haƙa wa kaina a ƙasar Kan’ana.” Yanzu fa bari in haura in binne mahaifina, sa’an nan in dawo.’”
For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
6 Fir’auna ya ce, “Haura ka binne mahaifinka, kamar yadda ya sa ka rantse za ka yi.”
And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
7 Saboda haka Yusuf ya haura don yă binne mahaifinsa. Dukan hafsoshin Fir’auna suka yi masa rakiya tare da manyan mutanen gidan Fir’auna, da kuma dukan manyan mutanen Masar
So as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in the land of Egypt,
8 da kuma dukan membobin gidan Yusuf, da’yan’uwansa da kuma waɗanda suke na gidan mahaifinsa. Yara kaɗai da garkunansu da kuma shanunsu ne aka bari a Goshen.
and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 Kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai su ma suka haura tare da shi. Babbar ƙungiya jama’a ce ƙwarai.
Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
10 Sa’ad da suka kai masussukar Atad, kusa da Urdun, sai suka yi kuka da ƙarfi da kuma mai zafi, a can Yusuf ya yi makoki kwana bakwai saboda mahaifinsa.
And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
11 Sa’ad da Kan’aniyawa waɗanda suke zama a can suka ga makokin a masussukan Atad, sai suka ce, “Masarawa suna bikin makoki na musamman.” Shi ya sa ake kira wannan wurin da yake kusa da Urdun, Abel-Mizrayim.
And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
12 Haka fa’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka yi yadda ya umarce su.
And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
13 Suka ɗauke shi zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana suka kuma binne shi a kogon da yake cikin filin Makfela, kusa da Mamre, wanda Ibrahim ya saya tare da filin, ya zama makabarta daga Efron mutumin Hitti.
And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
14 Bayan ya binne mahaifinsa, sai Yusuf ya koma Masar, tare da’yan’uwansa da kuma dukan waɗanda suka tafi tare da shi don binne mahaifinsa.
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
15 Sa’ad da’yan’uwan Yusuf suka ga cewa mahaifinsu ya mutu, sai suka ce, “Mai yiwuwa Yusuf yana riƙe da mu a zuciya, wataƙila zai rama dukan abubuwa marasa kyau da muka yi masa?”
Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
16 Saboda haka suka aika wa Yusuf suna cewa, “Mahaifinka ya bar waɗannan umarnai kafin yă rasu.
So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
17 Ga abin da za ku ce wa Yusuf, ‘Na roƙe ka, ka gafarta wa’yan’uwanka zunubai da laifofin da suka aikata na abubuwa marasa kyau da suka yi maka.’ Yanzu muna roƙonka ka gafarta zunuban bayin Allah na mahaifinka.” Sa’ad da saƙonsu ya zo masa, sai Yusuf ya yi kuka.
that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
18 ’Yan’uwansa kuwa suka zo suka fāɗi a gabansa suka ce, “Mu bayinka ne.”
And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
19 Amma Yusuf ya ce musu, “Kada ku ji tsoro. Ni Allah ne?
And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
20 Kun yi niyya ku yi mini lahani, amma Allah ya nufe wannan ya zama alheri don yă cika abin da yanzu yake faruwa, ceton rayuka masu yawa.
You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
21 Saboda haka, kada ku ji tsoro. Zan tanada muku da kuma’ya’yanku.” Ya sāke tabbatar musu, ya kuma yi musu magana ta alheri.
Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
22 Yusuf ya zauna a Masar tare da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Ya rayu shekara ɗari da goma.
And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
23 Ya kuma ga tsara ta uku ta’ya’yan Efraim. Haka ma’ya’yan Makir ɗan Manasse, an haife su aka sa a gwiwoyin Yusuf.
And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
24 Sai Yusuf ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “Ina gab da mutuwa. Amma tabbatacce Allah zai taimake ku, yă fid da ku daga wannan ƙasa zuwa ƙasar da ya alkawarta da rantsuwa wa Ibrahim, Ishaku da kuma Yaƙub.”
After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Yusuf kuwa ya sa’ya’yan Isra’ila maza suka yi rantsuwa, ya kuma ce, “Tabbatacce Allah zai taimake ku, ku kuma dole ku ɗauki ƙasusuwana, ku haura da su daga wannan wuri.”
And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
26 Yusuf kuwa ya rasu yana da shekara ɗari da goma. Bayan an shafe shi da maganin hana ruɓa, sai aka sa shi a akwatin gawa a Masar.
he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
