Farawa 50
1 Yusuf kuwa ya fāɗa a kan mahaifinsa, ya yi kuka a kansa, ya kuma sumbace shi.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed 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.
Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
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.
So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
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,
When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
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.’”
‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
6 Fir’auna ya ce, “Haura ka binne mahaifinka, kamar yadda ya sa ka rantse za ka yi.”
After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would 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
So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
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.
His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
9 Kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai su ma suka haura tare da shi. Babbar ƙungiya jama’a ce ƙwarai.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
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.
They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
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.
When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
12 Haka fa’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka yi yadda ya umarce su.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
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 [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
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 he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
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?”
After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
16 Saboda haka suka aika wa Yusuf suna cewa, “Mahaifinka ya bar waɗannan umarnai kafin yă rasu.
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
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.
‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
18 ’Yan’uwansa kuwa suka zo suka fāɗi a gabansa suka ce, “Mu bayinka ne.”
Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
19 Amma Yusuf ya ce musu, “Kada ku ji tsoro. Ni Allah ne?
But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
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.
As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
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 I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
22 Yusuf ya zauna a Masar tare da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Ya rayu shekara ɗari da goma.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
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.
He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
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.”
One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised 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.”
Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
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.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
