اَلتَّكْوِينُ 37

١ 1 وَسَكَنَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَةِ أَبِيهِ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ.

And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land of Canaan.

٢ 2 هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ يَعْقُوبَ: يُوسُفُ إِذْ كَانَ ٱبْنَ سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً، كَانَ يَرْعَى مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْغَنَمَ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ عِنْدَ بَنِي بِلْهَةَ وَبَنِي زِلْفَةَ ٱمْرَأَتَيْ أَبِيهِ، وَأَتَى يُوسُفُ بِنَمِيمَتِهِمِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ.

These - [are] [the] accounts of Jacob Joseph [was] a son of seven-teen year[s] he was shepherding with brothers his the flock and he [was] a youth with [the] sons of Bilhah and with [the] sons of Zilpah [the] wives of father his and he brought Joseph report their bad to father their.

٣ 3 وَأَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَحَبَّ يُوسُفَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَائِرِ بَنِيهِ لِأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ قَمِيصًا مُلَوَّنًا.

And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا رَأَى إِخْوَتُهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ أَحَبَّهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ أَبْغَضُوهُ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يُكَلِّمُوهُ بِسَلَامٍ.

And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.

٥ 5 وَحَلُمَ يُوسُفُ حُلْمًا وَأَخْبَرَ إِخْوَتَهُ، فَٱزْدَادُوا أَيْضًا بُغْضًا لَهُ.

And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْحُلْمَ ٱلَّذِي حَلُمْتُ:

And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.

٧ 7 فَهَا نَحْنُ حَازِمُونَ حُزَمًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَإِذَا حُزْمَتِي قَامَتْ وَٱنْتَصَبَتْ، فَٱحْتَاطَتْ حُزَمُكُمْ وَسَجَدَتْ لِحُزْمَتِي».

And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ تَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا مُلْكًا أَمْ تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْنَا تَسَلُّطًا؟» وَٱزْدَادُوا أَيْضًا بُغْضًا لَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْلَامِهِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلَامِهِ.

And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.

٩ 9 ثُمَّ حَلُمَ أَيْضًا حُلْمًا آخَرَ وَقَصَّهُ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا أَيْضًا، وَإِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا سَاجِدَةٌ لِي».

And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down to me.

١٠ 10 وَقَصَّهُ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَعَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ، فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ أَبُوهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْحُلْمُ ٱلَّذِي حَلُمْتَ؟ هَلْ نَأْتِي أَنَا وَأُمُّكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ لِنَسْجُدَ لَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟»

And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.

١١ 11 فَحَسَدَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَحَفِظَ ٱلْأَمْرَ.

And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.

١٢ 12 وَمَضَى إِخْوَتُهُ لِيَرْعَوْا غَنَمَ أَبِيهِمْ عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ.

And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِيُوسُفَ: «أَلَيْسَ إِخْوَتُكَ يَرْعَوْنَ عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ؟ تَعَالَ فَأُرْسِلَكَ إِلَيْهِمْ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَأَنَذَا».

And he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱنْظُرْ سَلَامَةَ إِخْوَتِكَ وَسَلَامَةَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَرُدَّ لِي خَبَرًا». فَأَرْسَلَهُ مِنْ وَطَاءِ حَبْرُونَ فَأَتَى إِلَى شَكِيمَ.

And he said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.

١٥ 15 فَوَجَدَهُ رَجُلٌ وَإِذَا هُوَ ضَالٌّ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. فَسَأَلَهُ ٱلرَّجُلُ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا تَطْلُبُ؟»

And he found him a man and there! [he was] wandering in the open country and he asked him the man saying what? are you seeking.

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ: «أَنَا طَالِبٌ إِخْوَتِي. أَخْبِرْنِي «أَيْنَ يَرْعَوْنَ؟».

And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ: «قَدِ ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَا، لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى دُوثَانَ». فَذَهَبَ يُوسُفُ وَرَاءَ إِخْوَتِهِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ فِي دُوثَانَ.

And he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.

١٨ 18 فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، قَبْلَمَا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِمِ، ٱحْتَالُوا لَهُ لِيُمِيتُوهُ.

And they saw him from a distance and just before he drew near to them and they dealt deceptively with him to kill him.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هُوَذَا هَذَا صَاحِبُ ٱلْأَحْلَامِ قَادِمٌ.

And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.

٢٠ 20 فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ نَقْتُلْهُ وَنَطْرَحْهُ فِي إِحْدَى ٱلْآبَارِ وَنَقُولُ: وَحْشٌ رَدِيءٌ أَكَلَهُ. فَنَرَى مَاذَا تَكُونُ أَحْلَامُهُ».

And now - come and let us kill him and let us throw him in one of the pits and we will say an animal wild it has eaten him and we may see what? will be dreams his.

٢١ 21 فَسَمِعَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَقَالَ: «لَا نَقْتُلُهُ».

And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.

٢٢ 22 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَأُوبَيْنُ: «لَا تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا. اِطْرَحُوهُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْبِئْرِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلَا تَمُدُّوا إِلَيْهِ يَدًا». لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِيَرُدَّهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ.

And he said to them - Reuben may not you shed blood throw him into the pit this which [is] in the wilderness and a hand may not you stretch out on him so as to rescue him from hand their to restore him to father his.

٢٣ 23 فَكَانَ لَمَّا جَاءَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ أَنَّهُمْ خَلَعُوا عَنْ يُوسُفَ قَمِيصَهُ، ٱلْقَمِيصَ ٱلْمُلَوَّنَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ،

And it was just when he came Joseph to brothers his and they stripped Joseph long garment his [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on him.

٢٤ 24 وَأَخَذُوهُ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي ٱلْبِئْرِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْبِئْرُ فَكَانَتْ فَارِغَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَاءٌ.

And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.

٢٥ 25 ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا. فَرَفَعُوا عُيُونَهُمْ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا قَافِلَةُ إِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ مُقْبِلَةٌ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ حَامِلَةٌ كَثِيرَاءَ وَبَلَسَانًا وَلَاذَنًا، ذَاهِبِينَ لِيَنْزِلُوا بِهَا إِلَى مِصْرَ.

And they sat down to eat bread and they lifted up eyes their and they saw and there! a caravan of Ishmaelites [was] coming from Gilead and camels their [were] carrying spice and balm and myrrh traveling to take [them] down Egypt towards.

٢٦ 26 فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «مَا ٱلْفَائِدَةُ أَنْ نَقْتُلَ أَخَانَا وَنُخْفِيَ دَمَهُ؟

And he said Judah to brothers his what? [is the] profit if we will kill brother our and we will conceal blood his.

٢٧ 27 تَعَالَوْا فَنَبِيعَهُ لِلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ، وَلَا تَكُنْ أَيْدِينَا عَلَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ أَخُونَا وَلَحْمُنَا». فَسَمِعَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ.

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and hand our may not it be on him for [is] brother our flesh our he and they listened brothers his.

٢٨ 28 وَٱجْتَازَ رِجَالٌ مِدْيَانِيُّونَ تُجَّارٌ، فَسَحَبُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَبَاعُوا يُوسُفَ لِلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ بِعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. فَأَتَوْا بِيُوسُفَ إِلَى مِصْرَ.

And they passed by men Midianite[s] traders and they drew and they brought up Joseph from the pit and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver and they brought Joseph Egypt towards.

٢٩ 29 وَرَجَعَ رَأُوبَيْنُ إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَإِذَا يُوسُفُ لَيْسَ فِي ٱلْبِئْرِ، فَمَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ.

And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.

٣٠ 30 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ وَقَالَ: «ٱلْوَلَدُ لَيْسَ مَوْجُودًا، وَأَنَا إِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ؟».

And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.

٣١ 31 فَأَخَذُوا قَمِيصَ يُوسُفَ وَذَبَحُوا تَيْسًا مِنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى وَغَمَسُوا ٱلْقَمِيصَ فِي ٱلدَّمِ.

And they took [the] long garment of Joseph and they slaughtered a male goat of goats and they dipped the long garment in the blood.

٣٢ 32 وَأَرْسَلُوا ٱلْقَمِيصَ ٱلْمُلَوَّنَ وَأَحْضَرُوهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ وَقَالُوا: «وَجَدْنَا هَذَا. حَقِّقْ أَقَمِيصُ ٱبْنِكَ هُوَ أَمْ لَا؟».

And they sent [the] long garment of the palms and soles and they brought [it] to father their and they said this we have found investigate please ¿ [the] long garment of son your [is] it or? not.

٣٣ 33 فَتَحَقَّقَهُ وَقَالَ: «قَمِيصُ ٱبْنِي! وَحْشٌ رَدِيءٌ أَكَلَهُ، ٱفْتُرِسَ يُوسُفُ ٱفْتِرَاسًا».

And he recognized it and he said [it is] [the] long garment of son my an animal wild it has eaten him certainly he has been torn to pieces Joseph.

٣٤ 34 فَمَزَّقَ يَعْقُوبُ ثِيَابَهُ، وَوَضَعَ مِسْحًا عَلَى حَقَوَيْهِ، وَنَاحَ عَلَى ٱبْنِهِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

And he tore Jacob clothes his and he put sackcloth on loins his and he mourned on son his days many.

٣٥ 35 فَقَامَ جَمِيعُ بَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعُ بَنَاتِهِ لِيُعَزُّوهُ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَتَعَزَّى وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱبْنِي نَائِحًا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ». وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ. (Sheol h7585)

And they arose all sons his and all daughters his to comfort him and he refused to be comforted and he said that I will go down to son my mourning Sheol towards and he wept for him father his. (Sheol h7585)

٣٦ 36 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ فَبَاعُوهُ فِي مِصْرَ لِفُوطِيفَارَ خَصِيِّ فِرْعَوْنَ، رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ.

(And the Medanites *L(E)*) they sold him into Egypt to Potiphar an official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards.

Joseph is Sold by His Brothers
