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 his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
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.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being still a lad even with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil report of them unto their father.
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 more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made 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 when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto 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 he told it to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more.
6 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Nabima! Na da agoane simasia ba: i.
And he said unto them: 'Hear, I pray you, 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.”
for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and bowed down 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 have dominion over us?' And they hated him yet the 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 yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to 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 he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him: 'What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down to 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 kept the saying in mind.
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 their father's flock in Shechem.
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 unto Joseph: 'Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.' And he said to him: 'Here am I.'
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 he said to him: 'Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me back word.' So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 E da amo sogega udigili laloba, dunu afae da e ba: loba amane sia: i, “Di da adi hogosala: ?”
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was 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 seek my brethren. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock.'
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: 'They are departed hence; for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothan.' And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Ilia da Yousefe sedagaga manebe ba: beba: le, e fane legemusa: gilisili sia: dasu.
And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, amane, “Amo simasia ba: su dunu da manebe goea!
And they said one to another: 'Behold, this 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 now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say: An evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.'
21 Liubene da amo sia: nababeba: le, Yousefe gaga: musa: dawa: i galu. E amane sia: i, “Ninia da e hame fane legemu.
And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said: 'Let us not take his life.'
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 Reuben said unto them: 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him' — that he might deliver him out of their hand, to 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 was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on 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, there was no water in it.
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 they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and ladanum, going to carry it down 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 Judah said unto 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, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh.' And his brethren hearkened unto him.
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 there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they brought Joseph 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 Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30 E da yolalali ilima bu misini amane sia: i, “Goi da uli dogoiga hame. Na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
And he returned unto his brethren, and said: 'The child is not; and as for me, 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 Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in 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 now whether it is 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 he knew it, and said: 'It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.'
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 garments, and put sackcloth upon 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 all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said: 'Nay, but I will go down to the grave to my son mourning.' 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 Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
