Farawa 42
1 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya sami labari cewa akwai hatsi a Masar, sai ya ce wa’ya’yansa maza, “Don me kuke duban juna kawai?”
Now Jacob became aware that there was grain in Egypt. He said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 Ya ci gaba, “Na ji cewa akwai hatsi a Masar. Ku gangara can ku sayo mana, domin mu rayu kada mu mutu.”
He said, “See here, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there so we may live and not die.”
3 Sai goma daga cikin’yan’uwan Yusuf suka gangara don su saya hatsi daga Masar.
Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 Amma Yaƙub bai aiki Benyamin, ɗan’uwan Yusuf tare da sauran ba, gama yana tsoro kada wani abu yă faru da shi.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he feared that harm might come to him.
5 Sai’ya’yan Yaƙub suka isa Masar tare da sauran mutanen don sayen abinci, gama yunwar ta kai yankin Kan’ana ma.
The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 To, Yusuf ne gwamnar ƙasar wanda yake sayar da hatsi ga dukan mutanenta. Saboda haka sa’ad da’yan’uwan Yusuf suka isa, sai suka rusuna masa har ƙasa da fuskokinsu.
Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
7 Nan da nan da Yusuf ya ga’yan’uwansa, sai ya gane su, amma ya yi kamar baƙo, ya kuma yi musu magana da tsawa. Ya tambaya, “Daga ina kuka fito?” Suka amsa, “Daga ƙasar Kan’ana, don mu saya abinci.”
Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke harshly with them. He said to them, “Where have you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
8 Ko da yake Yusuf ya gane’yan’uwansa, su ba su gane shi ba.
Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9 Sa’an nan ya tuna da mafarkansa game da su, ya kuma ce musu, “Ku’yan leƙen asiri ne! Kun zo don ku leƙi asirin ƙasar ku ga inda ba ta da tsaro.”
Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
10 Suka amsa suka ce, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, bayinka sun zo don saya abinci ne.
They said to him, “No, my master. Your servants have come to buy food.
11 Mu duka’ya’yan mutum ɗaya maza ne. Bayinka mutane ne masu gaskiya, ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.”
We are all one man's sons. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Ya ce musu “Sam! Kun zo ne ku ga inda ƙasarmu babu tsaro.”
He said to them, “No, you have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
13 Amma suka amsa suka ce, “Bayinka dā su goma sha biyu ne,’yan’uwa,’ya’yan mutum guda maza, wanda yake zama a ƙasar Kan’ana. Ƙaraminmu yanzu yana tare da mahaifinmu, ɗayan kuma ya rasu.”
They said, “We your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. See, the youngest is this day with our father, and one brother is no longer alive.”
14 Yusuf ya ce musu, “Daidai ne yadda na faɗa muku. Ku’yan leƙen asiri ne!
Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you; you are spies.
15 Ga kuwa yadda za a gwada ku. Muddin Fir’auna yana a raye, ba za ku bar wannan wuri ba sai ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku ya zo nan.
By this you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 Ku aiki ɗaya daga cikinku yă kawo ɗan’uwanku; za a sa sauranku a kurkuku, saboda a gwada maganarku a ga ko gaskiya ce kuke faɗi. In ba haka ba, to, da ran Fir’auna, ku’yan leƙen asiri ne!”
Send one of yourselves and let him get your brother. You will remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you.”
17 Ya kuwa sa su duka a kurkuku na kwana uku.
He put them all in custody for three days.
18 A rana ta uku, Yusuf ya ce musu, “Ku yi wannan za ku kuwa rayu, gama ina tsoron Allah.
Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God.
19 In ku mutane masu gaskiya ne, ku bar ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwanku yă zauna a kurkuku, yayinda sauranku su tafi, su kai hatsi don gidajenku da suke yunwa.
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in this prison, but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 Amma dole ku kawo ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku gare ni, saboda a tabbatar da maganarku har ba za ku mutu ba.” Suka kuwa yi haka.
Bring your youngest brother to me so your words will be verified and you will not die.” So they did so.
21 Sai suka ce wa juna, “Tabbatacce ana hukunta mu ne saboda ɗan’uwanmu. Mun ga yadda ya yi wahala sa’ad da ya roƙe mu saboda ransa, amma ba mu saurare shi ba, shi ya sa wannan wahala ta zo mana.”
They said to one another, “We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us and we would not listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 Ruben ya amsa, “Ban faɗa muku cewa kada ku ɗauki alhakin yaron nan ba, sai kuka ƙi ji, to, yau ga alhakin jininsa muke biya.”
Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you would not listen? Now, see, his blood is required of us.”
23 Ba su san cewa Yusuf yana jin su ba, da yake yana amfani da mai fassara ne.
They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Sai ya juya daga gare su ya yi kuka, sa’an nan ya dawo ya yi musu magana kuma. Ya sa aka ɗauke Simeyon daga gare su, aka daure shi a idanunsu.
He turned from them and wept. He returned to them and spoke to them. He took Simeon from among them and bound him before their eyes.
25 Yusuf ya yi umarni a cika buhunansu da hatsi, a kuma sa azurfan kowane mutum a cikin buhunsa, a kuma ba su kalaci don tafiyarsu. Bayan aka yi musu wannan,
Then Joseph commanded his servants to fill his brothers' bags with grain, and to put every man's money back into his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. It was done for them.
26 suka jibga hatsinsu a kan jakuna, sai suka kama hanya.
The brothers loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there.
27 A wurin da suka tsaya don su kwana, ɗaya daga cikinsu ya buɗe buhunsa don yă ciyar da jakinsa, sai ya ga azurfansa a bakin buhunsa.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the opening of his sack.
28 Sai ya ce wa’yan’uwansa, “An mayar mini da azurfata. Ga shi a cikin buhuna.” Zuciyarsu ta karai, suka dubi juna suna rawan jiki, suka ce, “Mene ne wannan da Allah ya yi mana?”
He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back. Look at it; it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 Sa’ad da suka zo wurin mahaifinsu Yaƙub a ƙasar Kan’ana, suka faɗa masa dukan abin da ya faru da su. Suka ce,
They went to Jacob, their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them. They said,
30 “Mutumin da yake shugaba a ƙasar ya yi mana matsananciyar magana, ya kuma ɗauke mu tamƙar’yan leƙen asirin ƙasa.
“The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us and thought that we were spies in the land.
31 Amma muka ce masa, ‘Mu masu gaskiya ne; mu ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne.
We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.
32 Dā mu’yan’uwa ne goma sha biyu,’ya’yan mahaifi guda maza. Ɗayanmu ya rasu, kuma ƙaramin yanzu yana tare da mahaifinmu a Kan’ana.’
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'
33 “Sai mutumin wanda yake shugaba a kan ƙasar ya ce mana, ‘Ga yadda zan san ko ku mutane masu gaskiya ne. Ku bar ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwanku a nan tare da ni, ku ɗauki abinci domin gidajenku masu yunwa, ku tafi.
The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, take grain for the famine in your houses, and go your way.
34 Amma ku kawo mini ƙaramin ɗan’uwanku domin in san cewa ku ba’yan leƙen asiri ba ne, amma mutane ne masu gaskiya. Sa’an nan zan mayar muku da ɗan’uwanku, ku kuma iya yin sana’a a ƙasar.’”
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother to you, and you will trade in the land.'”
35 Yayinda suke juyewa hatsi daga buhunansu, sai ga ƙunshin azurfan kowane mutum a buhunsa! Sa’ad da su da mahaifinsu suka ga ƙunshe-ƙunshen kuɗi, suka firgita.
It came about as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
36 Yaƙub mahaifinsu, ya ce musu, “Kun sa ni rashin’ya’yana. Yusuf ya rasu, Simeyon kuma ba ya nan, yanzu kuma kuna so ku ɗauki Benyamin. Kome yana gāba da ni!”
Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children. Joseph is no longer alive, Simeon is gone, and you will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
37 Sai Ruben ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Ka kashe dukan’ya’yana maza, in ban dawo da shi gare ka ba. Ka sa shi ga kulawata, zan kuwa dawo da shi.”
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring Benjamin back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 Amma Yaƙub ya ce, “Ɗana ba zai gangara zuwa can tare da ku ba, ɗan’uwansa ya rasu, shi ne kaɗai ya rage. In wani abu ya faru da shi a tafiyar da za ku yi, za ku sa furfurata ta gangara zuwa kabari cikin baƙin ciki.” (Sheol h7585)
Jacob said, “My son will not go down with you. For his brother is dead and he alone is left. If harm comes to him on the road in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
