< Genesis 37 >

1 Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.
Menina Jekopu'a agri nefa zoka mani'neno hu'nea mopare Kenani mani'ne.
2 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.
Ama'i Jekopu naga nofimofo naneke. Josefe'a 17ni'a zagegafu nehuno, nehaza ne' mani'neno nefu'zane afutami kegava hu'ne. Bilhane, Zilpagizni nefa a'tremokizini mofavre'mozane kegava hu'naze. Josefe'a nefu'za havizama nehazankea erino nezmafana ome asami'ne.
3 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 colors.
Hagi Israeli'a (Jekopu'a) miko ne'mofavre'afintira, Josefena tusiza huno avesinte'ne. Na'ankure agra ravusefinka ante'neankino, agra avasese'ane kena tro huno antaninte'ne.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Ana hige'za Josefe nefu'za, kazama nezmafa'ma tusiza huno agri'ma avesinentege'za nege'za, zamagra avesi nonte'za knare hu'za fru keaga huomi'naze.
5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
Hagi mago kenagera Josefe'a ava'na keteno, afuhe'mokizmi ana avana kea zamasmige'za, zamagra mago'ene tusiza hu'za zamarimpa ahente'naze.
6 He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
Josefe'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki ava'nama ke'noa zamofo nanekea antahiho,
7 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.”
hozafi witi ananekunkeno nagri witimo'a oti fatgo higeno, tamagri witimo'za regagi'za, nagri witirera kepri hu'naze.
8 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.
Anante nefu'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze, tagrira tagaterenka kagra kini mani'za nehano. Tamage hunka kegava hurante'za nehano, nehu'za mago'ene zamasigu hunente'za, agri avana kene, ke'anena ontahi'naze.
9 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
Anante mago'ene ava'na keteno afuhe'i amanage huno zamasami'ne, Antahiho, mago'ene ava'nagoana, zagene, ikane, 11ni'a ofumo'za nagrite kepri hunante'naze.
10 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 dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
Josefe'a anage huno nefane, afuhe'inena nezmasmigeno, nafa'amo'a amanage huno kesune, Kagra nankna ava'na negane? Nagrane, negrera'ene negafu'zanena tamage huta kagrite kepri hugahuno?
11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
Agri afuhe'za amefi'a ke hunte'nazanagi, nefa'a hakare'a nanekea antahi antahifi atre'ne.
12 His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Mago'zupa agri nefu'za, nezmafa afutami avre'za traza nehogu Sekemu vu'nazageno,
13 Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
Israeli'a amanage huno Josefena asami'ne, Negafu'za afuzaga zamavare'za Sekemu traza me'nerega ome zamante'za mani'nazanki ege'na, huganta'nena vuo. Higeno Josefe'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra vugahue.
14 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.
Higeno nefa'a amanage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Menina vunka negafuzane, afuzaganena knare hu'za mani'nafi ome ketenka, ete enka kea eme nasmio. Anage nehuno huntegeno Hebroni agupofinti vuno Sekemu uhanati'ne.
15 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
Anantega ome hakeno vano nehigeno mago ne'mo anampi negeno anage huno antahige'ne, na'anku kagra nehakrane?
16 He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
Higeno Josefe'a anage hu'ne, Nagra nafuhemokizmigu nehakroanki, muse (plis) hugantoanki inantega afu'zmia kegava hu'za mani'nafi nasmio?
17 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.
Higeno ana ne'mo'a anage huno asamine, Amafinti atre'za vunaku nehu'za, Dotani vanune nehazage'na antahi'noe. Higeno Josefe'a zamage zamavaririno vuno afuhe'ina Dotani ome zamageno erifore hu'ne.
18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Hagi Josefe'a afete ne-eno eravao osu'nege'za afuhe'za nege'za, ahe frigahune hu'za kea retro hu'naze.
19 They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
Zamagra zamagra ke hugantugama hu'za amanage hu'naze, ava'na kege nera antu e!
20 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.”
Hanki menina enketa aheta keri kampi mate'vuta nevazita, amanage hugahune. Afi zagamo aheno ne'ne, nehuta avana ke'amo'a inankna hugahifi kesune!
21 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
Ana hianagi Rubeni'a ana naneke nentahino, aza hunaku anage hu'ne, atrenketa ahe ofrisanune.
22 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.
Rubeni'a mago'ene amanage huno zamagrira zamasami'ne, Aheta korana eri oragi'sunanki, amima ka'ma kopima me'nea kerifi oheta avre vazisanune. Ana hanageno agra aza huno avreno nefa ome amisigu hu'ne.
23 When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;
Hanki Josefe'ma eno afuhe'inte'ma ehanatige'za, zamagra azeriza, knare avasese'ane za'za kena nefa'ma antaninte'neana zafi netre'za,
24 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.
zamagra azeri'za tinkeri kampi matevu atre'naze. Ana kerifina tina omnene.
25 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.
Ana hute'za, zamagra mani'ne'za ne'za nenaku nehu'za, kesga hu'za zamavua kazana, avazu hunte'za Ismaeli vahe'mo'za Giliatiti ne-eza, kemorizmifi gamune, fukinkna masave tusa masave kregefe'neane (bam) mana'nentake'za mere'ne eri'za Isipi zagore ome atrenaku e'naze.
26 Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Juda'a amanage huno afuhe'mokizigura hu'ne, Neregnama aheta korama'a eri tagisuta nankna miza erigahune?
27 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.
Agra tagri kora mani'negu ohesunanki, enketa Ismaeli vahete Josefena mizante atramneno. Hige'za nefu'za ana nanekere mago zamarimpa hu'naze.
28 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.
Anante mago'a Midiani vahe'mo'za, fenozama zagore'ma netre'za eneri'za nehaza vahe'mo'za anante neazageno, zamagra Josefena kerifinti avazuhu naga'atre'za Ismaeli vahete 20'a sekel silva zagore atre'naze. Ana hazage'za Josefena avre'za Isipi vu'naze.
29 Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
Rubeni'a keri avazare eno keana Josefe'a kerifi omani'negeno kukena'a sgane sagnu hu'ne.
30 He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
Aganahe'inte agra uhanatino amanage hu'ne, Ana mofavre'a omani'ne. Hanki nagra inankna hugahue?
31 They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
Hige'za zamagra Josefe avasese'ane kena eri'za, ve meme ahe'za ana za'za kena'a korama'afi re'za ti'za hute'za,
32 They took the tunic of many colors, 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.”
anante ana avasese'ane za'za kena, mago'amo'za eri'za nezmafante uhanatiza anage hu'naze. Amama kefore'ma hu'na kena muse (plis) hugantonanki, kagri negamofo za'za kenafi ko.
33 He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”
Hazageno keteno amanage hu'ne, Ama'i nagri ne'mofavremofo za'za kene. Afi zagagafamo aheno ne'ne, tamage huno Josefena amprino anitraga trogo hutre'negahie!
34 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Anage nehuno Jekopu'a kukena'a braro bruru huno tanefa kateno kukena'are nefreno za'za kna ne'mofonkura huno zavira ate'ne.
35 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 (Sheol h7585) to my son, mourning." His father wept for him.
Ana hige'za mika ne'mofa'amo'za, oti'za azeri avavasenaku hu'nazanagi, azeri vava sezankura ave'osi'ne. Hagi agra amanage hu'ne, Nenamofonku zavi netena fri'na fri vahe kumapi umanigahue. Nehuno nefa'a zavi ate'ne. (Sheol h7585)
36 The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
Hagi Midiani vahe'mo'za Isipi uhanati'za Josefena mizante atrazageno, Isipi ne' Fero avate kva ne' Potifa miza se'ne.
