Genesis 37
1 Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
Ia, Yakob se dudꞌui na. Leleꞌ naa, Yakob neu leo baliꞌ sia rae Kanaꞌan, fo maꞌahulu na, aman Isak mamana leleon.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, Yakob anan esa mia sao na Rahel, naran Yusuf. Ana too sanahulu hitu ma, no aꞌa nara reu ranea hiek-lombo ra. Aꞌa nara, anaꞌ mia Yakob sao nara, Bilha ma Silpa. Te Yusuf ia, mana nendi-nendiꞌ dedꞌeat fee ama na, soꞌal aꞌa nara.
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.
Bonggi Yusuf te, Yakob lasiꞌ ena. Naa de ana sue Yusuf lenaꞌ ana na laen ra. Lao esa, Yakob soo badꞌu naru meulauꞌ esa, fee Yusuf.
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.
Aꞌa nara rahine ama na sue Yusuf lenaꞌ, de ramanasa e seli. Ara nda nau ola-olaꞌ malolole ro e sa ena.
5 Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
Tetembaꞌ esa ma, Yusuf nalamein. De nafadꞌe meit naa neu aꞌa nara nae, “We! Hei rena dei! Au ulumein ae basa nggita paꞌa are-nggandum sia osi rala. Au are ngga nambariiꞌ ndos. Te hei are mara rambariiꞌ nduleꞌ au are ngga, ma beꞌutee neu are ngga.” Aꞌa nara rena rala ma, ramanasa e.
6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
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.”
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.
Boe ma ara ai Yusuf rae, “Woi! Mbei ma ho mae dadꞌi hai malangga mana parenda ma, do?” Ara ramanasa e seli, huu nafadꞌe meit naa.
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.”
Basa naa ma, Yusuf nalamein seluꞌ fai. De ana nafadꞌe aꞌa nara nae, “We! Au ulumein fai. Au ita relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ sanahulu esa. Basa se beꞌutee malolole neu au.”
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?”
Yusuf dui basa meit naa neu aman no aꞌa nara ma, aman ai e nae, “Meit saa ka naa! Ho duꞌa mae au, o inam, ma aꞌa mara ima idꞌu ei ma, do? Ho seli, ma!”
11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
De Yusuf aꞌa nara rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ ro e. Te aman dudꞌuꞌa meit naa nakandooꞌ a.
12 Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
Faiꞌ esa ma, Yusuf aꞌa nara rendi ama na hiek-lombo nara losa deka no kambo Sikem.
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.
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ama na nae, “Yusuf e! Aꞌa mara ranea hiek-lombo deka no Sikem. De muote fo muu seꞌu se dei.” Yusuf nataa nae, “Malole amaꞌ.”
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,
Boe ma ama na nae, “Muu dei, fo seꞌu aꞌa mara ro hiek-lombo nggara. Ara ona bee naa, baliꞌ mufadꞌe au.” Boe ma, Yusuf lao hela rae Hebron moo na, de nakandoo Sikem neu.
15 a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Losa naa, de sangga se ndule mooꞌ a. Basa ma, nandaa no atahori esa. De atahori naa natane e nae, “Ho sangga saa?’.
16 “I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
Yusuf nataa nae, “Toꞌo. Au sangga aꞌa nggara. Ara mboo hiek-lombo sangga uru deka-deka ia. Toꞌo nita se boe, do?”
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.
Nafadꞌe nae, “Ara nda sia ia sa. Oi rae reu sia deka-deka kambo Dotan.” Boe ma, Yusuf neu tungga aꞌa nara, losa nita se sia Dotan.
18 Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
Yusuf feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ, te ara rita e ena. Boe ma ara maꞌiraꞌ rae tao risa e.
19 “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
Esa nafadꞌe esa nae, “Mete dei. Malangga meit a nema ena!
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!”
Ata tao tisa e leo, do? Basa fo honda hendiꞌ e nisiꞌ oe mates rala neu. Dei fo tafadꞌe amaꞌ tae banda fui ra raa hendi e. Basa fo ata mete meit nara, taꞌo bee!”
21 When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
Rena nala naa ma, aꞌa Ruben na sangga dalaꞌ fo nae fee ne nasodꞌa. De ana ai odꞌi nara nae, “We! Ata afiꞌ tao tisa e!
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.
Malole lenaꞌ ata tumbuꞌ e nisiꞌ oe mates ia rala. Sia ia mamana maꞌabambiꞌ, de atahori nda rahine sa. Sadꞌi afiꞌ tasaiꞌ raa na.” Ana olaꞌ taꞌo naa, huu ana nae mboꞌi Yusuf, fo denu e baliꞌ.
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
Yusuf losa boe ma, aꞌa nara toꞌu rala e, de sidꞌa hendi badꞌu naru meulau na.
24 and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
Basa ma, ara lea dudꞌui e, de timba e oe mates rala neu.
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.
Basa boe ma ara baliꞌ reu raa. Ara feꞌe raa, aiboiꞌ ma, rita nononggoꞌ esa nema. Nononggoꞌ naa, banda onta nara fua bua danggan, onaꞌ hau maꞌameniꞌ, bumbu-bumbu, ma modꞌo mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Tao-tao te nononggoꞌ naa atahori Ismael mia kambo Gilead rae laoꞌ dooꞌ reu sia Masir.
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Basa ma, Yahuda nafadꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa nara nae, “Weh! Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia. Afiꞌ tisa e. Hita hambu saa, boe? Mae ona bee o, nda taꞌafuniꞌ tala raa na sa.
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.
Malole lenaꞌ seo hendiꞌ e neu atahori Ismael ra. Mae tao taꞌo bee mbali e o, eni, hita odꞌi bꞌonggi na. De afiꞌ taꞌahinaꞌ e!” Boe ma, basa se tungga oꞌola na.
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.
Basa naa ma, nandaa no atahori mana danggan naa ra tungga naa, Yusuf aꞌa nara lea e mia oe rala. De ara seo e neu atahori Ismael ra, no feli na doi fulaꞌ rua nulu. Basa ma, ara rendi Yusuf Masir neu.
29 When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
Ara seo Yusuf, te Ruben nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa. Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ oe mataꞌ a neu, ana nggengger nala seli, huu Yusuf nese ena. De ana sisidꞌa bua na sia ao na, huu ralan susa nala seli.
30 returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
Boe ma ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ odꞌi nara nae, “Aweee! Anaꞌ a nese ia ena. Ia naa, au ae tao taꞌo bee fai?”
31 Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
Basa ma ara hala hiek esa, de haꞌi Yusuf badꞌu meulau na, de boroꞌ e neu raaꞌ.
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.”
Haꞌi rala badꞌu fo akaꞌ raaꞌ naa, de rendi fee ama na, ma rafadꞌe rae, “Amaꞌ! Hai here mala badꞌu ia. Mete sobꞌa. Afiꞌ losa odꞌi Yusuf ena na.”
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!”
Yakob mete badꞌu a ma, nahine neuꞌ ena. Nataa nae, “Aweee! Memaꞌ ia au ana ngga badꞌu na. Mitaꞌ mae banda fui ra raa e sia bee ena. Aweee! Au ana ngga mate ena!”
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Basa naa ma, Yakob sisidꞌa badꞌu na, de olu karon abas, huu ana susa nala seli. Boe ma ana nggaee nakandondooꞌ a anan doo na seli.
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)
Basa ana touꞌ ma ana ina nara rema radadale, te nda rala e sa. Ana nae, “Hokoꞌ! Au susa losa mate. Au nda bisa liliiꞌ anaꞌ ia sa.” De Yakob susa nakandooꞌ a, huu nasanedꞌa anan Yusuf mana mateꞌ a. (Sheol h7585)
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
Leleꞌ Yakob feꞌe susa taꞌo naa, te atahori danggan naa ra losa Masir ena. De reu seo Yusuf neu malangga esa, naran Potifar. Eni, mane Masir a malangga nanea na.
