Genesis 37
1 And Jacob lived in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
Jakobo nodak e piny Kanaan, kuma ne wuon-gi odakie.
2 And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
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.
3 And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours.
Koro Israel nohero Josef moloyo yawuote mamoko, nikech en nyathi mane onywolne ka oseti, kendo nolosone law mar kandho maber.
4 And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceful to him.
Kane owetene oneno ni wuon-gi ohero Josef moloyogi, negidoko mamon kode kendo ne ok ginyal wuoyo kode maber.
5 And Joseph dreamt a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
Chiengʼ moro Josef noleko, kendo kane onyiso owetene lekno, to owetene nomedo bedo mamon kode.
6 And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamt.
Nowachonegi niya, “Winjeuru kaka nende aleko:
7 I thought you were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
Ne watweyo cham manie puodho eka apoya nono wi cham mane asetweyo nochungʼ tir, ka wiye chambu olworo wi chamba kendo okulorene.”
8 And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us, or shall you indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
Owetene nowachone niya, “Iparo ni inyalo telonwa? Bende inyalo telonwa adier?” Kendo negimedo bedo mamon kode nikech lekneno kod gimane owachonegi.
9 And he dreamt another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
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.”
10 And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which you have dreamt? shall indeed both I and your mother and your brethren come and bow before you to the earth?
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?”
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
Owetene ne nyiego omako kode, to wuon-gi to ne okano wechego e chunye.
12 And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
Koro noyudo owete Josef kwayo jamb wuon-gi machiegni gi Shekem,
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
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.”
14 And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
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,
15 And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
ngʼat moro noromo kode ka owuotho awuotha e thim mi openje niya, “Imanyo angʼo?”
16 And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
Nodwoke niya, “Adwaro owetena. Kinyisa kuma gikwayoe jambgi?”
17 And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Gisewuok ka. Ne awinjo kagiwacho ni gidhi Dothan.” Kuom mano Josef noluwo bangʼ owetene kendo noyudogi machiegni gi Dothan.
18 And they spied him from a distance before he drew near to them, and they wickedly took counsel to kill him.
To ne ginene kapod en mabor, kendo kane pok ochopo irgi, negichano mondo ginege.
19 And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neuru jalek lek cha biro!
20 Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
Biuru mondo wanege kendo wawite e bungu moro achiel kendo wawach ni le moro mager nyonege. Eka mondo wane gima lekne biro timone.”
21 And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
Kane Reuben owinjo ma notemo mondo ores Josef e lwet owetene. Nowachonegi niya, “Kik wanege.
22 And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
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.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
Kuom mano kane Josef ochopo ir owetene ne gilonyo kandhone mane olos gi law maber kendo ma nengone tek,
24 And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
kendo ne gikawe mi giwite e bugo. Bugono ne ninono kendo pi ne onge e iye.
25 And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they saw, and behold, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
Kane gibet gichiemo negineno oganda mar jo-Ishmael koa Gilead. Ngamia notingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi mane-mane kod yiende moko, kendo negiterogi Misri.
26 And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
Juda nowacho ne owetene niya, “Ere ohala ma wabiro yudo ka wanego owadwa kendo wapando rembe?
27 Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren listened.
Biuru mondo wause ne jo-Ishmael kendo kik waket lwetwa kuome; nikech en owadwa, ringrewa kendo rembwa.” Owetege noyie giwachno.
28 And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
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.
29 And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he tore his garments.
Kane Reuben odok e bugo mane owit e Josef kendo oyudo ni Josef onge kanyo, noyiecho lepe.
30 And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
Nodok ir owetene mowachonegi niya, “Rawera cha onge kacha! Koro anyalo timo angʼo?”
31 And having taken the coat of Joseph, they killed a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
Eka negikawo kandho Josef, mi giyangʼo diel kendo ginyumo kandho Josef e remb diel.
32 And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be your son's coat or no. And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
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.”
Israel nofwenyo kendo owacho niya, “Ma en kandho wuoda! Le moro mager nonege. En adier ni le mager onego Josef mokidhe matindo tindo.”
34 And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Eka Jakobo noyiecho lepe, morwako pien gugru kendo noywago Josef wuode kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
35 And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
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)
36 And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
To jo-Midian nouso Josef e piny Misri ne Potifa, achiel kuom jotich mag Farao, jaduongʼ jorit od ruoth.
