Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned — in the land of Canaan.
Jacob el mutana in acn Canaan, yen papa tumal tuh muta we,
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, fed the flock with his brethren; and he was doing service with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them.
ac pa inge sramsram ke sou lal Jacob. Joseph el sie mwet fusr yac na singoul itkosr, ac el wi mwet lel liyaung sheep ac nani uh. Mwet lel inge ma natul Bilhah ac Zilpah, mutan kulansap luo kien papa tumaltal ah. Joseph el tukakin nu sin papa tumal ma koluk mwet wial inge oru.
3 And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was son of his old age; and he made him a vest of many colours.
Jacob el lungse Joseph yohk liki mwet lel nukewa, mweyen el isusyang nu sel ke el arulana matu. Jacob el orala sie nuknuk na oa lal ma loes pao.
4 And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, and they hated him, and could not greet him with friendliness.
Ke tamulel lal liye lah papa tumalos el kuloel Joseph yohk lukelos nukewa, elos arulana kwasel Joseph, pwanang elos tia ku in kaskas kulang nu sel.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told [it] to his brethren, and they hated him yet the more.
Sie pacl ah Joseph el oru mweme se, ac ke el srumunang nu sin tamulel lal, elos srungal yohk liki meet ah.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream, which I have dreamt:
El fahk, “Lohng mweme se nga oru inge.
7 Behold, we were binding sheaves in the fields, and lo, my sheaf rose up, and remained standing; and behold, your sheaves came round about and bowed down to my sheaf.
Kut nukewa muta inima ah, ac kapri kahp in wheat. Na kahp se luk ah tuyak suwosak nu lucng, a kahp lowos ah raunela kahp se luk ah, ac pasrla nu kac.”
8 And his brethren said to him, Wilt thou indeed be a king over us? wilt thou indeed rule over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words.
Na tamulel wial ah siyuk sel, “Ya kom nunku mu kom ac tokosra ac leum facsr?” Ke ma inge yokelik srunga lalos nu sel liki meet, ke sripen mweme se lal ah, oayapa ke ma el fahk kaclos.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.
Tok Joseph el sifilpa oru sie mweme ac fahk nu sin mwet lel, “Nga oru pac mweme se ac nga liye mu faht ah, malem ah, ac itu singoul sie pasrla nu sik.”
10 And he told [it] to his father and to his brethren. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamt? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
El fahkang pac mweme sac nu sin papa tumal, ac papa tumal ah mulat nu sel ac fahk, “Mweme fuka se ingan? Ya kom nunku mu nga, ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom, in tuku epasr nu sum?”
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying.
Tamulel lal Joseph ah kewa elos sok sel, tusruktu papa tumal ah nunku na ma inge nukewa.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock at Shechem.
Sie len ah ke tamulel lal Joseph elos som tari nu Shechem in liyaung un kosro nutin papa tumalos,
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the flock] at Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga lungse kom in som nu Shechem, yen tamulel lom elos liyaung kosro uh we.” Ac Joseph el topuk, “Kwal nga ac som.”
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see after the welfare of thy brethren, and after the welfare of the flock; and bring me word again. And he sent him out of the vale of Hebron; and he came towards Shechem.
Papa tumal el fahk nu sel, “Fahsrot liye lah tulik wiom an fuka, ac kosro natusr ah fuka, na foloko fahk nu sik.” Ouinge papa tumal ah supwalla, el som liki Infalfal Hebron. Joseph el sun acn Shechem
15 And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the country; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
ac forfor uten acn uh, na mwet se liyalak ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom suk an?”
16 And he said, I am seeking my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].
Ac el fahk, “Nga suk tamulel luk ma muta liyaung un kosro natulos uh. Kom ku in fahk nu sik lah eltal oasr ya?”
17 And the man said, They have removed from this; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them at Dothan.
Ac mwet sac fahk, “Eltal som tari. Nga lohng ke eltal fahk mu eltal ac som nu Dothan.” Ke ma inge Joseph el som tokoltal ac konaltalak Dothan.
18 And when they saw him from afar, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to put him to death.
Elos ngetla liyalak ke el fahsr srakna loes nu yorolos, ac meet liki el sonolos elos orek pwapa sulal ac wotela mu elos ac unilya.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, there comes that dreamer!
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mukul mweme ah pa fahsru ingo.
20 And now come 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 will see what becomes of his dreams.
Akola kut in unilya, ac siselang nu in sie luf inge. Kut fah tuh fahk mu kosro sulallal ah unilya. Kut in liye lah mweme lal ah ac fuka.”
21 And Reuben heard [it], and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Reuben el lohng pwapa lalos, ac srike in molella Joseph. El fahk, “Tari kut tia unilya.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood: cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness; but lay no hand upon him — in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him to his father again.
Kut siselang na nu in sie luf inge, ac tia oru kutena ma nu sel.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el akoo elan molella ac folokunulla nu yurin papa tumal ah.
23 And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his vest, the vest of many colours, which he had on;
Ke Joseph el tuku sonolos, elos seya nuknuk oa se lal ma loes pao ah,
24 and they took him and cast him into the pit; now the pit was empty — there was no water in it.
na elos usalla ac siselang nu in luf se wangin kof loac.
25 And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead; and their camels bore tragacanth, and balsam, and ladanum — going to carry [it] down to Egypt.
Ke elos mongo, elos ngetla liyauk un mwet Ishmael se su tuku Gilead me in som nu Egypt. Camel natulos us pak pukanten ma sessesla ke mwe akyuye mongo ac ono keng.
26 And Judah said to his brethren, What profit is it that we kill our brother and secrete his blood?
Judah el fahk nu sin mwet wial, “Wo fuka se kut ac eis kut fin uniya tamulel se lasr, na tari wikin ma kut oru?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened [to him].
Kut kukakunulla nu sin mwet Ishmael inge. Fin ange, na kut ac tia enenu in unilya. Saya na, ma wiasr pa el ac kut srah sefanna.” Tamulel lal elos insese nu kac,
28 And Midianitish men, merchants, passed by; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver-pieces; and they brought Joseph to Egypt.
ac ke kutu mwet kuka Midian elos fahsryak, na mwet wial Joseph elos amakunulak liki luf sac, ac kukakunulang su sin mwet Ishmael inge ke ipin silver longoul. Na elos usal som nu Egypt.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit; and he rent his garments,
Ke Reuben el foloko nu ke luf sac ac liyauk lah Joseph el wangin we, el seya nuknuk lal ke asor.
30 and returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
El folokla nu yurin mwet wial ac fahk, “Tulik sac wanginla in luf sac! Mea nga ac oru uh?”
31 And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood;
Na elos uniya nani soko ac twenya nuknuk lal Joseph ah ke srahn nani soko ah.
32 and they sent the vest of many colours and had it carried to their father, and said, This have we found: discern now whether it is thy son's vest or not.
Elos usla nuknuk sac nu yurin papa tumalos, ac fahk, “Kut konauk nuknuk se inge. Ya ma lun wen se nutum ah?”
33 And he discerned it, and said, [It is] my son's vest! an evil beast has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!
El akilenak ac fahk, “Aok, ma lal! Kalem lah kosro sulallal ah unilya. Joseph, wen nutik, el seseyuki!”
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Jacob el seya nuknuk lal ke asor, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa. El eoksra ke wen natul ah paht na.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and said, For I will go down to my son into Sheol mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Wen natul nukewa ac acn natul nukewa elos fahsreni nu yorol in srike in akfisrasrye asor lal, tuh el tia ku in kutongya asor lal, ac el fahk, “Nga ac asor na ke tulik se inge nwe ke na nga misa.” Ouinge el asor na kacl Joseph, kulo natul. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt, to Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard.
In pacl sac pacna, mwet Midian elos kukakunulla Joseph in acn Egypt nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lun tokosra lun facl Egypt. El pac pa sifen mwet topang su taran inkul lun tokosra.
