Chakruok 37
1 Jakobo nodak e piny Kanaan, kuma ne wuon-gi odakie.
So Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, —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, when seventeen years old, was shepherding with his brethren among the flocks, and, he, being a youth, was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah wives of his father, —so then Joseph brought in the talk about them—something bad, unto 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 any of his sons, because he was to him, the son of his old age, and he had made him, a long tunic.
4 Kane owetene oneno ni wuon-gi ohero Josef moloyogi, negidoko mamon kode kendo ne ok ginyal wuoyo kode maber.
So his brethren saw that their father loved him, more than any of his brethren, and they hated him, and could not bid him prosper,
5 Chiengʼ moro Josef noleko, kendo kane onyiso owetene lekno, to owetene nomedo bedo mamon kode.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they went on yet more to hate him.
6 Nowachonegi niya, “Winjeuru kaka nende aleko:
And he said unto them, Hear ye I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Ne watweyo cham manie puodho eka apoya nono wi cham mane asetweyo nochungʼ tir, ka wiye chambu olworo wi chamba kendo okulorene.”
Lo! then, we, were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, when lo my sheaf rose up, yea and took its stand, —and lo! round about came your sheaves, and bowed themselves 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.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou, reign, over us, shalt thou, have dominion over us? So they went on yet more to hate him, because of his dreams and because of his words.
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.”
Then dreamed he, yet another, dream, and related it to his brethren, and said: —Lo! I have dreamed a dream, yet again, Lo! then, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, were bowing themselves 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?”
So he related it unto his father, and unto his brethren, —and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? Shall we, indeed come in, I, and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow ourselves down to thee to the earth?
11 Owetene ne nyiego omako kode, to wuon-gi to ne okano wechego e chunye.
Then were his brethren jealous of him, but his father, marked the word.
12 Koro noyudo owete Josef kwayo jamb wuon-gi machiegni gi Shekem,
Now his brethren went their way, —to feed their father’s flock in 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.”
So Israel said unto Joseph Are not, thy brethren, feeding the flock in Shechem? Come on! and let me send thee unto them. And he said to him Behold me!
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, I pray thee, look after the welfare of thy brethren, and the welfare of the flock, and bring me back word. And he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came in towards Shechem.
15 ngʼat moro noromo kode ka owuotho awuotha e thim mi openje niya, “Imanyo angʼo?”
And a man found him, and lo! he was wandering about in the field, so the man asked him saying—What seekest thou?
16 Nodwoke niya, “Adwaro owetena. Kinyisa kuma gikwayoe jambgi?”
And he said, My brethren, am, I, seeking, —do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.
17 Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Gisewuok ka. Ne awinjo kagiwacho ni gidhi Dothan.” Kuom mano Josef noluwo bangʼ owetene kendo noyudogi machiegni gi Dothan.
And the man said, They have broken up from hence, for I heard them saying Let us go our way towards Dothan. So Joseph went after his brethren, and found them, in Dothan.
18 To ne ginene kapod en mabor, kendo kane pok ochopo irgi, negichano mondo ginege.
And they saw him afar off, —and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired against him, to put him to death.
19 Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neuru jalek lek cha biro!
And they said each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
20 Biuru mondo wanege kendo wawite e bungu moro achiel kendo wawach ni le moro mager nyonege. Eka mondo wane gima lekne biro timone.”
Now, therefore, come! let us slay him and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say A cruel beast, hath devoured him, —And let us see what will become of his dreams.
21 Kane Reuben owinjo ma notemo mondo ores Josef e lwet owetene. Nowachonegi niya, “Kik wanege.
And Reuben heard it, and rescued him out of their hand, and said Let us not smite him, so as to 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.
And Reuben said unto them Do not shed blood! Cast him into this pit, which is in the wilderness, but put not forth, a hand, against him! that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him unto his father.
23 Kuom mano kane Josef ochopo ir owetene ne gilonyo kandhone mane olos gi law maber kendo ma nengone tek,
So it came to pass, when Joseph had come in unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his tunic, the long tunic which was upon him,
24 kendo ne gikawe mi giwite e bugo. Bugono ne ninono kendo pi ne onge e iye.
and took him, and cast him into the pit, but the pit, was empty, there was in it no water.
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.
And when they had sat down to eat bread, they lifted up their eyes and looked, and lo! a caravan of Ishmaelites, coming in from Gilead, —and, their camels, were bearing tragacanth gum, and balsam and cistus-gum, they were going their way, to take them down to Egypt.
26 Juda nowacho ne owetene niya, “Ere ohala ma wabiro yudo ka wanego owadwa kendo wapando rembe?
So Judah said unto his brethren, —What profit that we slay 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 us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not, our own hand, be upon him, for our own brother, our own flesh, is he And his brethren hearkened.
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.
And there passed by certain Midianites travelling merchants, so they drew forth and uplifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites, for twenty pieces of silver, —and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Kane Reuben odok e bugo mane owit e Josef kendo oyudo ni Josef onge kanyo, noyiecho lepe.
And Reuben returned unto the pit, and lo Joseph was not in the pit, so he rent his clothes;
30 Nodok ir owetene mowachonegi niya, “Rawera cha onge kacha! Koro anyalo timo angʼo?”
and returned unto his brethren, and said, —The, lad, is not! And, I, oh where can I, go?
31 Eka negikawo kandho Josef, mi giyangʼo diel kendo ginyumo kandho Josef e remb diel.
And they took Joseph’s tunic, —and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the tunic 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 sent the long tunic and brought it in unto their father, and said This, have we found! Examine, we pray thee, whether it is the tunic of thy son, 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.”
So he examined it, and said—The tunic of my son! A cruel beast hath devoured him, —torn in pieces—torn in pieces, is Joseph!
34 Eka Jakobo noyiecho lepe, morwako pien gugru kendo noywago Josef wuode kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, —and mourned over 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)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to console him but he refused to be consoled, and said—Surely I will go down unto my son mourning to hades! 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 courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners.
