Mui 37
1 Ya: igobe da soge amo ea eda da musa: amo ganodini esalu (Ga: ina: ne), amogawi esalu.
Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, 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.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to 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 tunic 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.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t 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.
Joseph dreamt a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Nabima! Na da agoane simasia ba: i.
He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamt:
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 behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, 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.
His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all 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.”
He dreamt yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamt yet another 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: ?”
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamt? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 Yousefe ea yolalali da ema mudale dawa: i, be ea ada da amo liligi huluane ea asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: lalu.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 Eso afaega, Yousefe yolalali da Siegeme sogega ilia eda ea lai gebo fi amo ouligimusa: asi dagoi ba: i.
His brothers 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!”
Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
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.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley 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: ?”
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na da nolalali amo ilia lai gebo gilisisu ouligilala, amo hogosa. Di da ili ba: bela: ?
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, 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.
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Ilia da Yousefe sedagaga manebe ba: beba: le, e fane legemusa: gilisili sia: dasu.
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 Ilia gilisili sia: dasu, amane, “Amo simasia ba: su dunu da manebe goea!
They said to one another, “Behold, this 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.”
Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will 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.
Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s 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.
Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on 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.
When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic 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 threw him into the pit. 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.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, 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.
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we 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.
Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to 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.
Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants 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.
Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 E da yolalali ilima bu misini amane sia: i, “Goi da uli dogoiga hame. Na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Amalalu, ilia da goudi medole legele, Yousefe ea abula goudi ea maga: me amo ganodini gela sa: i.
They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic 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: ?”
They took the tunic of many colours, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic 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.”
He recognised it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has 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.
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, 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)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” 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.
The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
