< Farawa 50 >
1 Yusuf kuwa ya fāɗa a kan mahaifinsa, ya yi kuka a kansa, ya kuma sumbace shi.
Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him 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.
Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
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.
This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 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,
Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
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.’”
my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
6 Fir’auna ya ce, “Haura ka binne mahaifinka, kamar yadda ya sa ka rantse za ka yi.”
Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
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
Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders 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.
as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
9 Kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai su ma suka haura tare da shi. Babbar ƙungiya jama’a ce ƙwarai.
They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
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.
When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
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.
The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
12 Haka fa’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka yi yadda ya umarce su.
Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
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.
They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
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.
After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
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?”
However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things 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 Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
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.
‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
18 ’Yan’uwansa kuwa suka zo suka fāɗi a gabansa suka ce, “Mu bayinka ne.”
Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
19 Amma Yusuf ya ce musu, “Kada ku ji tsoro. Ni Allah ne?
“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
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.
While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
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.
So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
22 Yusuf ya zauna a Masar tare da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Ya rayu shekara ɗari da goma.
Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
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 saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
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.”
“I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give 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.”
Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
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.
Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
