Mui 37
1 Ya: igobe da soge amo ea eda da musa: amo ganodini esalu (Ga: ina: ne), amogawi esalu.
And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
2 Ya: igobe ea sosogo fi ilia hou dedei da agoane. Yousefe da lalelegele, ode 17 esalu, ayeligi ba: i. E amola yolalali (ilia da Ya: igobe ea gidisedagi uda Biliha amola Siliba elea mano), amo da gilisili Ya: igobe ea sibi amola goudi ouligisu. E da ea olalali ilia wadela: i hou ba: beba: le, ea edama sia: ne iasu olelei.
And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
3 Yousefe da Ya: igobe ea da: i hamoi esoga lalelegeiba: le, Ya: igobe ea asigi hou ema da ea asigi hou amo Yousefe yolalali ilima baligisu. E abula ida: iwane hamone, Yousefema i.
And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours.
4 Yousefe ea yolalali da Ya: igobe ea asigi hou Yousefema da ea asigi ilima baligi amo ba: beba: le, mudasu hamoi. Ilia da Yousefema bagade higasu. Ilia da ema asigiwane sia: mu hamedeiwane ba: i.
And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceable to him.
5 Eso afaega, Yousefe da simasia ba: i. Amo e da ea yolalalima olelebeba: le, ilia da bu baligili ema mi hanai galu.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
6 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Nabima! Na da agoane simasia ba: i.
And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.
7 Ninia huluane da widi sagai amo ganodini widi la: gi dudalebe ba: i. Amalalu, na widi la: gi da wa: legadole moloiwane lelu. Amalalu, dilia widi la: gi da na widi la: gi amoga sisiga: le, begudui.”
I thought ye were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Ea yolalali da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da ninima hina bagade esalumu dawa: bela: ?” Amaiba: le, e da simasia ba: beba: le amola amoga sia: beba: le, ilia da ema baligili mi hanai galu.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
9 Amalalu, Yousefe da eno simasia ba: i. E da ea yolalali ilima amane sia: i, “Na da eno simasia ba: i. Amo ganodini, na da eso, oubi amola gasumuni gidayale gala, huluane nama begudulalebe ba: i.”
And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
10 Amo simasia ba: i e da ea adama olelei. Ea eda da ema gagabole sia: i, “Amo da adi simasia ba: sula: ? Dia ame, dia yolalali amola na da dima misini, beguduma: bela: ?”
And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? shall indeed both I and thy mother and thy brethren come and bow before thee to the earth?
11 Yousefe ea yolalali da ema mudale dawa: i, be ea ada da amo liligi huluane ea asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: lalu.
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 Eso afaega, Yousefe yolalali da Siegeme sogega ilia eda ea lai gebo fi amo ouligimusa: asi dagoi ba: i.
And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
13 Ya: igobe da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Dia yolalali ilia da Siegeme sogega lai gebo gilisisu ouligilala. Di amoga masa!” Yousefe da amane bu adole i, “Na masunu!”
And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send thee to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
14 Ea ada da ema amane sia: i, “Defea! Masa! Dia yolalali da hahawane esalabala? Sibi gilisisu da hahawanela: ? Amo huluane abodemusa: masa. Amasea, amo sia: ne iasu bu nama iamisa.” Ea eda da Hibalone Fago esalu. E da Yousefe asunasiba: le, Yousefe da asili, Siegeme sogega doaga: i.
And Israel said to him, Go and see if thy brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
15 E da amo sogega udigili laloba, dunu afae da e ba: loba amane sia: i, “Di da adi hogosala: ?”
And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na da nolalali amo ilia lai gebo gilisisu ouligilala, amo hogosa. Di da ili ba: bela: ?
And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
17 Amo dunu bu adole i, “Ilia da fisili asi dagoi. Ilia sia: na da nabi, amo ilia da Douda: ne sogega masusa: dawa: i galu.” Amaiba: le, Yousefe da ea yolalali ilima fa: no bobogele, Douda: ne sogega ilima doaga: i.
And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
18 Ilia da Yousefe sedagaga manebe ba: beba: le, e fane legemusa: gilisili sia: dasu.
And they spied him from a distance before he drew nigh to them, and they wickedly took counsel to slay him.
19 Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, amane, “Amo simasia ba: su dunu da manebe goea!
And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
20 Defea! Ninia da medole legele amola ea da: i hodo amo hafoga: i hano uli dogoi amo ganodini ha: digimu. Ninia da gasonasu ohe fi da e medole legei sia: mu. Amasea, ea simasia ba: i liligi da hamedei liligi ba: mu.”
Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
21 Liubene da amo sia: nababeba: le, Yousefe gaga: musa: dawa: i galu. E amane sia: i, “Ninia da e hame fane legemu.
And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
22 Be udigili amo hafoga: i uli dogoi amo ganodini sanasimu. Be ema se mae ima.” E da Yousefe gaga: le, ea edama bu oule masusa: ilegei galu.
And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
23 Yousefe da ea yolalali ilima doaga: loba, ilia da ea nina: hamoi abula sedade amo fadegai.
And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
24 Amalalu, ilia da Yousefe amo hafoga: i uli dogoi amo ganodini sanasi.
And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
25 Ilia da ha: i nanoba, Isiama: ile (Midia: ne) fi dunu amo Gilia: de soge fisili Idibidi amoga doaga: musa: logoga ahoanebe ba: i. Ilia ga: mele da hedama: ne fodole nasu amola gamali agui ahoanebe ba: i.
And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they beheld, and lo, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
26 Yuda da ea eya ilima amane sia: i, “Ninia eya amo medole legele amola amo hou dedebomu da ninima fidisu liligi hame.
And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Ninia da Yousefe amo Isiama: ile dunu ilima bidi lamu da defea. Amane hamosea, ninia da ema se hame imunu. E da ninia eya ninia hu amola maga: me afae hamoi.” Amane dawa: lalu, ea eya ilia da gilisili defea dawa: i.
Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren hearkened.
28 Amalalu, Midia: ne bidi lasu dunu da doaga: loba, Yousefe yolalali da Yousefe amo uli dogoiga fadegale, silifa 20 amoga Yousefe Isiama: ile dunu ilima bidi lai. Amalalu, Isiama: ile dunu da Yousefe Idibidi sogega afugili asi.
And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
29 Liubene da uli dogoiga bu misini, Yousefe da amo ganodini hame esalu ba: beba: le, bagadewane da: i dione, ea abula gadelai.
And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he rent his garments.
30 E da yolalali ilima bu misini amane sia: i, “Goi da uli dogoiga hame. Na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
31 Amalalu, ilia da goudi medole legele, Yousefe ea abula goudi ea maga: me amo ganodini gela sa: i.
And having taken the coat of Joseph, they slew a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
32 Ilia da amo abula ilia adama gaguli asili, amane sia: i, “Ninia da amo ba: i dagoi. Amo da dia gofe ea abulala: ?”
And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be thy son's coat or no. And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
33 Ya: igobe da amo abula dawa: i galu. E amane sia: i, “Amo da Yousefe ea: Gasonasu ohe fi da nagofe Yousefe medole legele ea da: i dadegale fasi dagoi.”
34 Ya: igobe da se bagade nababeba: le, ea abula gadelale, eboboi abula ea da: i amoga sali. E da ea manoma asigiba: le, eso bagohame digini lalalusu.
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Egefelali amola idiwi huluane da ema ea dogo denesima: ne doaga: i, be e da dogo denesimu amola olofomu hamedei ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Na da mae yolesili, da: i dione amola dinana bogomu.” Amaiba: le, ea da: i dioi e da mae yolesili da: i diolalu. (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Be Idibidi sogega, Midia: ne dunu da Yousefe amo Bodifa (hina bagade dunu ea sosodo aligisu dunu ilima hina dunu) ema bidi lai dagoi.
And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
