Farawa 43
1 A yanzu, yunwa ta yi tsanani a ƙasar.
The famine was severe in the land.
2 Saboda haka sa’ad da suka cinye dukan hatsin da suka kawo daga Masar, mahaifinsu ya ce musu, “Ku koma, ku sayo mana ƙarin abinci.”
It came about when they had eaten the grain that they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again; buy us some food.”
3 Amma Yahuda ya ce masa, “Mutumin ya gargaɗe mu sosai cewa, ‘Ba za ku sāke ganin fuskata ba sai in ɗan’uwanku yana tare da ku.’
Judah told him, “The man solemnly warned us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
4 In za ka aika da ɗan’uwanmu tare da mu, za mu gangara mu sayo maka abinci.
If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food.
5 Amma in ba za ka aika da shi ba, ba za mu gangara ba, gama mutumin ya ce mana, ‘Ba za ku sāke ganin fuskata ba sai ko in ɗan’uwanku yana tare da ku.’”
But if you do not send him, we will not go down. For the man said to us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'”
6 Isra’ila ya yi tambaya, “Me ya sa kuka kawo wannan damuwa a kaina ta wurin faɗa wa mutumin cewa kuna da wani ɗan’uwa?”
Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man that you had another brother?”
7 Suka amsa, “Mutumin ya yi mana tambaya sosai game da kanmu da iyalinmu. Ya tambaye mu, ‘Mahaifinku yana da rai har yanzu? Kuna da wani ɗan’uwa?’ Mu dai mun amsa tambayoyinsa ne. Ta yaya za mu sani zai ce, ‘Ku kawo ɗan’uwanku a nan’?”
They said, “The man asked details about us and our family. He said, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' We answered him according to these questions. How could we have known that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'”
8 Sa’an nan Yahuda ya ce wa Isra’ila mahaifinsa, “Ka aika saurayin tare da ni za mu kuwa tafi nan da nan, saboda mu da’ya’yanmu mu rayu, kada mu mutu.
Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy with me. We will rise and go that we may live and not die, both we, you, and also our children.
9 Ni kaina zan tabbatar da lafiyarsa; na ɗauki lamuninsa, a hannuna za ka neme shi. In ban dawo da shi gare ka, in sa shi nan a gabanka ba, zan ɗauki laifin a gabanka dukan kwanakina.
I will be a guarantee for him. You will hold me responsible. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
10 Ai, da ba mun jinkirta ba, da mun komo har sau biyu.”
For if we had not delayed, surely by now we would have come back here a second time.”
11 Sa’an nan mahaifinsu Isra’ila ya ce musu, “In dole ne a yi haka, to, sai ku yi. Ku sa waɗansu amfani mafi kyau na ƙasar a buhunanku, ku ɗauka zuwa wurin mutumin a matsayin kyauta, da ɗan man ƙanshi na shafawa, da kuma’yar zuma, da kayan yaji, da ƙaro, da tsabar citta da kuma almon.
Their father Israel said to them, “If it be so, now do this. Take some of the best products of the land in your bags. Carry down to the man a gift—some balm and honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
12 Ku ɗauki ninki biyu na yawan azurfa tare da ku, gama dole ku mayar da azurfan da aka sa a cikin bakunan buhunanku. Mai yiwuwa an yi haka a kuskure ne.
Take double money in your hand. The money that was returned in the opening of your sacks, carry again in your hand. Perhaps it was a mistake.
13 Ku ɗauki ɗan’uwanku kuma ku koma wurin mutumin nan da nan.
Take also your brother. Rise and go again to the man.
14 Bari Allah Maɗaukaki yă nuna muku alheri a gaban mutumin saboda yă bar ɗan’uwanku da Benyamin su dawo tare da ku. Ni kuwa, in na yi rashi, na yi rashi.”
May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, so that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”
15 Saboda haka mutanen suka ɗauki kyautar, da kuma kuɗin da ya ninka na farko. Suka kuma ɗauki Benyamin, suka gaggauta suka gangara zuwa Masar suka kuma gabatar da kansu ga Yusuf.
The men took this gift, and in their hand they took double the amount of money, along with Benjamin. They got up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya ga Benyamin tare da su, sai ya ce wa mai hidimar gidansa, “Ka shigar da mutanen cikin gida, ka yanka dabba ka shirya, gama mutanen za su ci abincin rana tare da ni.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, slaughter an animal and prepare it, for the men will eat with me at noon.”
17 Mutumin ya yi kamar yadda Yusuf ya faɗa masa, ya kuwa ɗauki mutanen zuwa gidan Yusuf.
The steward did as Joseph said. He brought the men to Joseph's house.
18 Mutanen dai suka firgita sa’ad da aka ɗauke su zuwa gidansa. Suka yi tunani, “An kawo mu nan ne saboda azurfan da aka sa a cikin buhunanmu da farko. Yana so yă fāɗa mana, yă kuma sha ƙarfinmu, yă ƙwace mu kamar bayi, yă kuma kwashe jakunanmu.”
The men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house. They said, “It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time we were brought in, that he may seek an opportunity against us. He might arrest us and take us as slaves, and take our donkeys.”
19 Saboda haka suka je wurin mai yin wa Yusuf hidima, suka yi masa magana a bakin ƙofar gida.
They approached the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 Suka ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, mun zo nan ƙaro na farko don mu saya abinci,
saying, “My master, we came down the first time to buy food.
21 amma a inda muka tsaya don mu kwana, da muka buɗe buhunanmu sai kowannenmu ya sami azurfansa daidai a bakin buhunsa. Saboda haka ga kuɗin a hannunmu, mun sāke komowa da su.
It came about, when we reached the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the opening of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it back in our hands.
22 Mun kuma kawo ƙarin azurfa tare da mu don mu saya abinci. Ba mu san wa ya sa azurfanmu a cikin buhunanmu ba.”
Other money we have also brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
23 Sai mai hidimar ya ce, “Ba kome, kada ku ji tsoro. Allahnku, Allahn mahaifinku ne ya ba ku dukiyar a cikin buhunanku; ni dai, na karɓi azurfanku.” Sa’an nan ya fitar musu da Simeyon.
The steward said, “Peace be to you, do not fear. Your God and the God of your father must have put your money in your sacks. I received your money.” The steward then brought Simeon out to them.
24 Mai yin hidimar ya ɗauki mutane zuwa gidan Yusuf ya ba su ruwa su wanke ƙafafunsu, ya kuma tanada wa jakunansu abinci.
The steward took the men into Joseph's house. He gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave feed to their donkeys.
25 Suka shirya kyautansu domin isowar Yusuf da rana, gama sun ji cewa zai ci abinci a nan.
They prepared the gifts for Joseph's coming at noon, for they had heard that they would eat there.
26 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya zo gida, sai suka ba shi kyautai da suka kawo, suka rusuna a gabansa har ƙasa.
When Joseph came home, they brought the gifts which were in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the ground.
27 Ya tambaye su, yaya suke, sa’an nan ya ce, “Yaya tsohon nan mahaifinku da kuka faɗa mini? Yana da rai har yanzu?”
He asked them about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
28 Suka amsa, “Bawanka mahaifinmu yana da rai har yanzu da kuma ƙoshin lafiya.” Suka kuma rusuna suka yi mubaya’a.
They said, “Your servant our father is well. He is still alive.” They prostrated themselves and bowed down.
29 Da ya ɗaga idanu, sai ya ga ɗan’uwansa Benyamin, ɗan mahaifiyarsa, sai ya yi tambaya, “Wannan ne ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku, wanda kuka faɗa mini a kai?” Ya kuma ce, “Allah yă yi maka albarka, ɗana.”
When he lifted up his eyes he saw Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and he said, “Is this your youngest brother of whom you spoke to me?” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”
30 Saboda motsi mai zurfi da zuciyarsa ta yi da ganin ɗan’uwansa, sai Yusuf ya gaggauta ya fita, ya nemi wuri yă yi kuka. Ya shiga ɗakinsa ya yi kuka a can.
Joseph hurried to go out of the room, for he was deeply moved about his brother. He sought somewhere to weep. He went to his room and wept there.
31 Bayan ya wanke fuskarsa, sai ya fito ya daure, ya umarta, “A kawo abinci.”
He washed his face and came out. He controlled himself, saying, “Serve the food.”
32 Sai aka raba musu abinci, nasa shi kaɗai su kuma su kaɗai, domin Masarawa ba sa cin abinci tare da Ibraniyawa, gama wannan abin ƙyama ne ga Masarawa.
The servants served Joseph by himself and the brothers by themselves. The Egyptians there ate with him by themselves because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is detestable to the Egyptians.
33 Aka zaunar da’yan’uwan Yusuf a gabansa bisa ga shekarunsu, daga ɗan fari zuwa auta.’Yan’uwan kuwa suka duddubi juna suna mamaki.
The brothers sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth. The men were astonished together.
34 Daga teburin da yake a gaban Yusuf aka riƙa ɗibar rabonsu ana kai musu, amma rabon Benyamin ya yi biyar ɗin na kowannensu. Suka kuwa sha, suka yi murna tare da shi.
Joseph sent portions to them from the food in front of him. But Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of his brothers. They drank and were merry with him.
