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 of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
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 his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father’s wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
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.
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers 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 seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably 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.
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
6 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Nabima! Na da agoane simasia ba: i.
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I 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 we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before 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.
His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
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.”
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
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 when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon 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.
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12 Eso afaega, Yousefe yolalali da Siegeme sogega ilia eda ea lai gebo fi amo ouligimusa: asi dagoi ba: i.
And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
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!”
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
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.
I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
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 there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na da nolalali amo ilia lai gebo gilisisu ouligilala, amo hogosa. Di da ili ba: bela: ?
But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the 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 are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
18 Ilia da Yousefe sedagaga manebe ba: beba: le, e fane legemusa: gilisili sia: dasu.
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
19 Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, amane, “Amo simasia ba: su dunu da manebe goea!
And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
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.”
Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
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 hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
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.
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
23 Yousefe da ea yolalali ilima doaga: loba, ilia da ea nina: hamoi abula sedade amo fadegai.
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24 Amalalu, ilia da Yousefe amo hafoga: i uli dogoi amo ganodini sanasi.
And cast him into an old pit, where there was no 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 sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh 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 Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill 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.
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
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 when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him 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, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30 E da yolalali ilima bu misini amane sia: i, “Goi da uli dogoiga hame. Na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31 Amalalu, ilia da goudi medole legele, Yousefe ea abula goudi ea maga: me amo ganodini gela sa: i.
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32 Ilia da amo abula ilia adama gaguli asili, amane sia: i, “Ninia da amo ba: i dagoi. Amo da dia gofe ea abulala: ?”
Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.
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.”
And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
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 tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
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 children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, (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.
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
