Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Alò, Jacob te viv nan peyi kote papa li te konn demere a, nan peyi Canaan an.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
Sa yo se achiv a jenerasyon Jacob yo. Joseph, lè l te gen laj dis-sèt ane, li t ap okipe bann mouton an avèk frè l yo, pandan li te toujou nan jennès li, ansanm avèk fis Bila yo, ak fis Zilpa yo, madanm a papa l yo. Epi Joseph te pote yon move rapò sou yo, bay papa li.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made for him a coat of many colors.
Alò, Israël te renmen Joseph plis ke tout lòt fis li yo, akoz ke li te fèt nan vyeyès li; epi li te fè pou li yon vètman plen tout koulè.
4 And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. And they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Frè li yo te wè ke papa yo te renmen li plis ke tout frè li yo. Konsa, yo te vin rayi li, e yo pa t kapab pale avèk li an amitye.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
Alò, Joseph te fè yon rèv, e lè l te repete l bay frè l yo, konsa, yo te vin rayi li plis.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Li te di yo: “Souple, koute rèv sa a ke m te fè a.
7 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 made obeisance to my sheaf.
Gade byen, nou t ap mare pakèt rekòlt yo nan chan an, e gade byen, pakèt pa nou yo te vin antoure pa m nan e yo te vin bese devan pakèt pa mwen yo.”
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Alò, frè li yo te di li: “Èske vrèman ou ap vin renye sou nou? Oswa èske ou ap vin gouvène sou nou?” Epi yo te vin rayi li plis pou rèv li yo, ak pawòl li yo.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers. And said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream again. And, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Alò li te vin fè yon rèv toujou, li te eksplike li bay frè li yo. Li te di: “Gade, mwen te fè yon lòt rèv; e gade byen, solèy la, lalin lan avèk onz zetwal yo t ap bese ba devan mwen.”
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Li te eksplike li bay papa li avèk frè li yo. Papa li te reprimande li e te di l: “Kisa sa ye, rèv sa ou te fè a? Èske mwen, manman ou avèk frè ou yo vrèman ap vin bese atè devan ou?”
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
Frè li yo te fè jalouzi akoz li, men papa li te kenbe pawòl sa yo nan tèt li.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Epi frè li yo te ale mennen bann mouton an Sichem.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
Israël te di Joseph: “Èske frè ou yo p ap okipe bann mouton an Sichem? Vini pou mwen ka voye ou bò kote yo.” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va ale”.
14 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy 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.
Alò, li te di li: “Ale koulye a pou okipe afè frè ou yo ak afè bann mouton an, e vin pote nouvèl ban mwen.” Epi li te ale nan vale Hébron an e li te rive Sichem.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What do thou seek?
Yon mesye te twouve li, e gade byen, li t ap mache toupatou nan chan an. Konsa, mesye a te mande li: “Kisa w ap chache?”
16 And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
Li te di: “Mwen ap chache frè m yo. Souple, fè m konnen kote yo ap fè patiraj pou bann mouton an.”
17 And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Alò, mesye a te di: “Yo te deplase isit la, paske mwen te tande yo di: ‘Annou ale Dothan.’” Epi Joseph te swiv frè li yo, e li te twouve yo Dothan.
18 And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Lè yo te wè li depi nan distans, e avan li te parèt kote yo, yo te fè konplo pou mete li a lanmò.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
Yo te di youn ak lòt: “Men sila ki fè rèv la ap vini!
20 Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits. And we will say, An evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Alò, koulye a, annou touye li e jete li nan youn nan fòs yo, e nou va di: ‘yon bèt sovaj te devore li.’ Koulye a annou wè kisa rèv li yo ap devni!”
21 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Men Reuben te tande sa, li te retire li nan men yo, e li te di: “Annou pa pran lavi li.”
22 And Reuben said to 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.
Reuben te di yo anplis de sa: “Pa vèse san. Jete li nan twou sila ki nan dezè a, men pa mete men sou li” —akoz lentansyon li te gen pou fè l chape nan men yo, pou l ta kapab remèt li bay papa l.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,
Alò li te rive ke lè Joseph te rive kote frè li yo, yo te retire vètman an sou li, (sa ki te gen anpil koulè ladann nan);
24 and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
epi yo te pran li e yo te jete li nan fòs la. Alò fòs la te vid e li pa t gen dlo ladann.
25 And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Alò, yo te chita pou manje yon manje. Epi pandan yo te leve zye yo, yo te gade, e vwala, yon ekip Izmayelit ki t ap sòti Galaad, avèk chamo ki t ap pote yon chaj gòm awomatik, bòm avèk mè pou rive an Égypte.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Juda te di a frè li yo: “Ki avantaj sa ye si nou touye frè nou an, e kache san li?
27 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 brothers hearkened to him.
Vini, annou vann li bay Izmayelit yo e annou pa mete men nou sou li, paske li se frè nou, pwòp chè nou.” Epi frè li yo te koute li.
28 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Alò, kèk nan machann Madyanit yo te pase, epi frè l yo te rale li soti nan fòs la e te vann li bay Izmayelit yo pou ven sik lajan. Konsa yo te mennen Joseph antre an Égypte.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Alò, Reuben te retounen nan fòs la, e gade byen, Joseph pa t la nan fòs la; epi li te chire rad li.
30 and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
Li te retounen vè frè li yo e te di: “Ti gason an pa la non; e pou mwen menm, kibò pou m ale?”
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
Konsa, yo te pran vètman Joseph la, yo te kòche yon mal kabrit, e yo te tranpe vètman an nan san an.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
Yo te voye vètman anpil koulè a pote li bay papa yo e yo te di: “Nou te twouve sa a. Souple, gade l byen e wè si se vètman a fis ou a oswa non.”
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
Li te egzamine li e te di: “Se vètman fis mwen an. Yon bèt sovaj gen tan devore li. Joseph vrèman gen tan chire an mòso!”
34 And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Alò, Jacob te chire rad li, li te mete twal sak nan ren li, e li te pase anpil jou ap lamante pou fis li a.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Alò, tout fis li yo, ak tout fi li yo te leve pou konsole li, men li te refize konsole. Epi li te di: “Vrèman mwen va desann kote fis mwen an, kote sejou mò yo ak lamante pou fis mwen an.” Epi papa li te kriye pou li. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
Antretan, Madyanit yo te vann li an Égypte a Potiphar, ofisye Farawon an, chèf nan kò gad la.
