Genesis 37
1 Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
Ary Jakoba nonina tany amin’ ny tany fivahinian’ ny rainy, dia tany amin’ ny tany Kanana.
2 This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
Ary izao no tantaran’ i Jakoba: Rehefa fito ambin’ ny folo taona Josefa, dia niara-niandry ondry tamin’ ny rahalahiny izy (fa mbola zaza izy), dia tamin’ ny zanak’ i Bila sy ny zanak’ i Zilpa, vadin’ i Jakoba rainy; ary Josefa nitati-bolana tamin-drainy.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a robe of many colors.
Ary tian’ Isiraely mihoatra noho ny zanany rehetra Josefa, satria zanaky ny fahanterany izy, ka nanaovany akanjo lava.
4 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
Ary nony hitan’ ny rahalahiny fa Josefa no tian’ ny rainy mihoatra noho izy mirahalahy avy, dia nankahala azy izy ka tsy nahazaka hanao teny tsara taminy.
5 Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
Ary nanonofy Josefa, ka nambarany tamin’ ireo rahalahiny; dia vao mainka nankahalany azy izany.
6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
Fa efa nilaza taminy hoe izy: Mba henoy kely ange izao nofy izao:
7 We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.”
Indro, namehy amboara tany an-tsaha isika, ary, indro, niarina ny amboarako sady nijoro; ary, indreo, nilahatra manodidina kosa ny amboaranareo ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny amboarako.
8 “Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and his statements.
Ary hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Moa hanjaka aminay tokoa va ianao? na hanapaka anay tokoa va ianao? Ary izany nofiny sy teniny izany dia vao mainka nankahalany azy.
9 Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
Ary nanonofy indray izy ka nolazainy tamin’ ny rahalahiny; dia hoy izy: Indro, nanonofy indray aho; ary, indreo, ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana iraika ambin’ ny folo niankohoka teo anatrehako.
10 He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
Ary nambarany tamin’ ny rainy sy ireo rahalahiny koa izany; dia niteny mafy azy ny rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manao ahoana izany nofy efa nonofisinao izany? Moa ho avy tokoa va aho sy ny reninao ary ny rahalahinao ka hiankohoka amin’ ny tany eo anatrehanao?
11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
Dia nialona azy ny rahalahiny; fa ny rainy kosa nitadidy izany zavatra izany.
12 Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
Ary lasa ny rahalahiny niandry ny ondrin’ ny rainy tany Sekema.
13 Israel said to him, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flocks at Shechem? Get ready; I am sending you to them.” “I am ready,” Joseph replied.
Ary hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa: Tsy miandry ondry any Sekema va ny rahalahinao? Avia mba hirahiko hankany aminy ianao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Inty Aho.
14 Then Israel told him, “Go now and see how your brothers and the flocks are faring, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. And when Joseph arrived in Shechem,
Ary hoy ny rainy taminy: Masìna ianao, andeha, izahao na tsara ihany ny rahalahinao sy ny ondry aman’ osy, na manao ahoana; ka miverena hilaza amiko. Dia nirahiny hiala avy teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Hebrona izy, dia nankany Sekema.
15 a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Ary nisy lehilahy nahita azy, fa, indro, nirenireny tany an-tsaha izy; dia nanontany azy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Inona moa notadiavinao?
16 “I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
Dia hoy kosa izy: Ny rahalahiko no tadiaviko; koa masìna ianao, mba lazao amiko izay iandrasany ondry.
17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Ary hoy ralehilahy: Efa nifindra niala teto izy: fa efa reko izy niresaka hoe: Andeha isika hankany Dotana. Dia lasa Josefa nanaraka ny rahalahiny ka nahita azy tany Dotana.
18 Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
Ary nahatazana azy eny lavidavitra eny ny rahalahiny; koa raha tsy mbola nanakaiky azy Josefa, dia niray tetika hamono azy izy.
19 “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
Dia niresaka hoe izy: Indro, tamy ilay mpanonofy.
20 “Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”
Koa ankehitriny, andeha hovonointsika izy ka hatsipintsika ao anatin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto lavaka ireto; ary dia aoka holazaintsika hoe: Efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; dia ho hitantsika amin’ izany na hanao ahoana ny nofiny.
21 When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
Ary Robena nandre izany, dia namonjy azy tamin’ ny tànany ka nanao hoe: Aza dia mamono ny ainy isika.
22 “Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this so that he could rescue Joseph from their hands and return him to his father.
Ary hoy koa Robena taminy: Aoka tsy handatsa-drà ianareo; atsipazo ao anatin’ io lavaka etỳ an-efitra io izy, fa aza misy maninji-tanana aminy ianareo, mba hamonjeny azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiny hitondrany azy any amin’ ny rainy indray.
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny rahalahiny Josefa, dia nendahany ny akanjony, dia ilay akanjo lava teny aminy;
24 and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
dia nobetainy izy ka natsipiny tao an-davaka; ary maina ny lavaka tamin’ izay, fa tsy nisy rano tao.
25 And as they sat down to eat a meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh on their way down to Egypt.
Ary nipetraka nihinan-kanina izy ireo, ary sendra nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa, indreo, nisy Isimaelita niara-dia, avy tany Gileada, ary ny ramevany nitondra ditin-kazo, dia nekota sy balsama ary lota, izay nentiny hidina any Egypta.
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Inona no soa ho azontsika, raha hamono ny rahalahintsika sy hanafina ny ràny isika?
27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.
Andeha hamidintsika amin’ ireo Isimaelita ireo izy, ary aoka tsy haninona azy ny tanantsika; fa rahalahintsika sy nofontsika ihany izy. Dia nanaiky ny rahalahiny.
28 So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
Ary raha nandalo teo ny Midianita mpandranto, dia nakarin’ ny rahalahiny niala tao an-davaka Josefa ka namidiny sekely volafotsy roa-polo tamin’ ny Isimaelita; ary dia nitondra an’ i Josefa ho any Egypta ireo.
29 When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny lavaka Robena, ka, indro, tsy tao an-davaka intsony Josefa; dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.
30 returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy ao ny zaza, ary izaho, aiza no halehako?
31 Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
Ary nalain’ ireo rahalahiny ilay akanjon’ i Josefa, dia namono zanak’ osy izy, ka natsobony tamin’ ny rà ny akanjo.
32 They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe or not.”
Dia nampanateriny ho any amin’ ny rainy ilay akanjo, sady hoy no filazany azy: Ity no efa hitanay; koa fantaro na akanjon’ ny zanakao ity, na tsia?
33 His father recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
Dia fantany, ka hoy izy: Akanjon’ ny zanako io: efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; voaviravira tokoa Josefa.
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Ary Jakoba dia nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nisikina lamba fisaonana tamin’ ny valahany; ary nisaona ny zanany andro maro.
35 All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Dia avy ny zananilahy rehetra sy ny zananivavy rehetra mba hampionona azy, fa tsy nety nampiononina izy, fa hoy izy; Tsia, fa hidina misaona ho any amin’ ny zanako any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita aho. Ary dia mbola nitomany azy ny rainy. (Sheol h7585)
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
Ary ny Midianita nivarotra an’ i Josefa tany Egypta tamin’ i Potifara, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina.
