Chakruok 37
1 Jakobo nodak e piny Kanaan, kuma ne wuon-gi odakie.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 Ma e nonro mar joka Jakobo. Kane Josef ja-higni apar gabiriyo, nohero kwayo jamb wuon-gi ka en kaachiel gi owetene ma yawuot Bilha kod yawuot Zilpa ma magi gin monde wuon-gi. To Josef nonyiso wuon-gi timbe moko maricho ma owetene ne timo.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 Koro Israel nohero Josef moloyo yawuote mamoko, nikech en nyathi mane onywolne ka oseti, kendo nolosone law mar kandho maber.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 Kane owetene oneno ni wuon-gi ohero Josef moloyogi, negidoko mamon kode kendo ne ok ginyal wuoyo kode maber.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Chiengʼ moro Josef noleko, kendo kane onyiso owetene lekno, to owetene nomedo bedo mamon kode.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Nowachonegi niya, “Winjeuru kaka nende aleko:
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 Ne watweyo cham manie puodho eka apoya nono wi cham mane asetweyo nochungʼ tir, ka wiye chambu olworo wi chamba kendo okulorene.”
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 Owetene nowachone niya, “Iparo ni inyalo telonwa? Bende inyalo telonwa adier?” Kendo negimedo bedo mamon kode nikech lekneno kod gimane owachonegi.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 Eka Josef nochako oleko lek machielo, kendo nowacho ne owetene lekno. Nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru lek machielo manyoro aleko ni wangʼ chiengʼ gi dwe kod sulwe apar gachiel kulorena.”
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 Kane onyiso wuon-gi kaachiel gi owetene, wuon-gi nokwede kendo owachone niya, “Ma en lek manade manyoro ilekoni? Iparo ni minu kod an kod oweteni nyalo biro kuloreni mondo omiyi duongʼ?”
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Owetene ne nyiego omako kode, to wuon-gi to ne okano wechego e chunye.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 Koro noyudo owete Josef kwayo jamb wuon-gi machiegni gi Shekem,
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Kaka ingʼeyo ni oweteni kwayo jamni machiegni gi Shekem; koro bi mondo aori irgi.” Josef nodwoke niya, “Mano ber.”
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 Kuom mano nowachone niya, “Dhiyo kendo ineane ka oweteni dhi maber kod jamni, kendo iduogna wach.” Kamano nooro Josef koa e Holo mar Hebron. Kane Josef otundo Shekem,
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 ngʼat moro noromo kode ka owuotho awuotha e thim mi openje niya, “Imanyo angʼo?”
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 Nodwoke niya, “Adwaro owetena. Kinyisa kuma gikwayoe jambgi?”
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Gisewuok ka. Ne awinjo kagiwacho ni gidhi Dothan.” Kuom mano Josef noluwo bangʼ owetene kendo noyudogi machiegni gi Dothan.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 To ne ginene kapod en mabor, kendo kane pok ochopo irgi, negichano mondo ginege.
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neuru jalek lek cha biro!
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 Biuru mondo wanege kendo wawite e bungu moro achiel kendo wawach ni le moro mager nyonege. Eka mondo wane gima lekne biro timone.”
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 Kane Reuben owinjo ma notemo mondo ores Josef e lwet owetene. Nowachonegi niya, “Kik wanege.
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 Kik uchwer remo moro amora, witeuru e bugo manie thim kaeni, to kik uket lwetu kuome.” Reuben nowacho mondo ores Josef kendo odwoke ir wuon-gi.
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 hands, to restore him to his father.
23 Kuom mano kane Josef ochopo ir owetene ne gilonyo kandhone mane olos gi law maber kendo ma nengone tek,
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 kendo ne gikawe mi giwite e bugo. Bugono ne ninono kendo pi ne onge e iye.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 Kane gibet gichiemo negineno oganda mar jo-Ishmael koa Gilead. Ngamia notingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi mane-mane kod yiende moko, kendo negiterogi Misri.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Juda nowacho ne owetene niya, “Ere ohala ma wabiro yudo ka wanego owadwa kendo wapando rembe?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Biuru mondo wause ne jo-Ishmael kendo kik waket lwetwa kuome; nikech en owadwa, ringrewa kendo rembwa.” Owetege noyie giwachno.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 Kuom mano kane jo-ohala ma jo-Midian ochopo machiegni, owete Josef noywaye oko e bugo kendo nouse kuom shekel piero ariyo mar fedha ne jo-Ishmaelgo, mane otere Misri.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 Kane Reuben odok e bugo mane owit e Josef kendo oyudo ni Josef onge kanyo, noyiecho lepe.
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 Nodok ir owetene mowachonegi niya, “Rawera cha onge kacha! Koro anyalo timo angʼo?”
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Eka negikawo kandho Josef, mi giyangʼo diel kendo ginyumo kandho Josef e remb diel.
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 Ne gitero ne wuon-gi kandho Josef mane olos maber kendo ma nengone tek kagiwacho niya, “Ne wayudo kandhoni. Range ane maber ka en mar wuodi.”
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 Israel nofwenyo kendo owacho niya, “Ma en kandho wuoda! Le moro mager nonege. En adier ni le mager onego Josef mokidhe matindo tindo.”
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 Eka Jakobo noyiecho lepe, morwako pien gugru kendo noywago Josef wuode kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Yawuote kod nyige duto nobiro mondo ohoye, to notamore ahoya. Nowacho niya, “Ooyo, abiro ywago wuoda nyaka atho aluw bangʼe.” Kuom mano wuon-gi noywage. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 To jo-Midian nouso Josef e piny Misri ne Potifa, achiel kuom jotich mag Farao, jaduongʼ jorit od ruoth.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
