Genesis 37
1 Jacob settled down and lived in Canaan as his father had done.
Menina Jekopu'a agri nefa zoka mani'neno hu'nea mopare Kenani mani'ne.
2 This is the story of Jacob and his family. Joseph was seventeen, and helped look after the flock with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph told his father about some of the bad things his brothers were doing.
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 Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him when he was already old. He made a colorful robe with long sleeves for Joseph.
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 When his brothers noticed that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and had nothing good to say about 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 had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even 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 “Listen to this dream I had,” he told them.
Josefe'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki ava'nama ke'noa zamofo nanekea antahiho,
7 “We were tying up bundles of grain out in the fields when all of a sudden my bundle stood up, and your bundles came over and bowed down to it.”
hozafi witi ananekunkeno nagri witimo'a oti fatgo higeno, tamagri witimo'za regagi'za, nagri witirera kepri hu'naze.
8 “Do you really think you're going to be our king?” they asked. “Do you honestly believe you're going to rule over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and how he described it.
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 Then he had another dream told his brothers about it. “Listen, I had another dream,” he explained. “The sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down before 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 also told his father as well as his brothers, and his father told him off, saying, “What's this dream that you've had? Are we—I and your mother and brothers—really going to come and bow down to the ground 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 Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream.
Agri afuhe'za amefi'a ke hunte'nazanagi, nefa'a hakare'a nanekea antahi antahifi atre'ne.
12 One day Joseph's brothers took their father's flocks to graze near Shechem.
Mago'zupa agri nefu'za, nezmafa afutami avre'za traza nehogu Sekemu vu'nazageno,
13 Israel told Joseph, “Your brothers are looking after the sheep near Shechem. Get ready because I want you to go and see them.” “I'll do it,” Joseph replied.
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 So he told him, “Off you go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, and come back and let me know.” So he sent him off. Joseph set out from the Hebron Valley,
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 and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he 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 “I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?”
Higeno Josefe'a anage hu'ne, Nagra nafuhemokizmigu nehakroanki, muse (plis) hugantoanki inantega afu'zmia kegava hu'za mani'nafi nasmio?
17 “They've already left,” the man replied. “I heard them say, ‘Let's go to Dothan.’” So Joseph followed his brothers and caught up with them at 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 But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans 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 “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
Zamagra zamagra ke hugantugama hu'za amanage hu'naze, ava'na kege nera antu e!
20 “Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to 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 When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.
Ana hianagi Rubeni'a ana naneke nentahino, aza hunaku anage hu'ne, atrenketa ahe ofrisanune.
22 “Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home 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 So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
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 grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
zamagra azeri'za tinkeri kampi matevu atre'naze. Ana kerifina tina omnene.
25 They were just sitting down to have a meal when they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying aromatic spices, balm, and myrrh to take 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 “What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
Juda'a amanage huno afuhe'mokizigura hu'ne, Neregnama aheta korama'a eri tagisuta nankna miza erigahune?
27 Instead, why don't we sell him to these Ishmaelites? We don't have to kill him. After all he's our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.
Agra tagri kora mani'negu ohesunanki, enketa Ismaeli vahete Josefena mizante atramneno. Hige'za nefu'za ana nanekere mago zamarimpa hu'naze.
28 So when the Ishmaelites (who were traders from Midian) came by, they pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites took him to 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 When Reuben came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief.
Rubeni'a keri avazare eno keana Josefe'a kerifi omani'negeno kukena'a sgane sagnu hu'ne.
30 He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
Aganahe'inte agra uhanatino amanage hu'ne, Ana mofavre'a omani'ne. Hanki nagra inankna hugahue?
31 They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's robe 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 Then they sent the colorful robe to their father with the message, “We found this. Please examine it and see if it's your son's robe 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 His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!”
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 in grief and dressed in sackcloth. He mourned the death of his son for a long time.
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 daughters tried to console him, but he rejected their attempts. “No,” he said, “I will go down into my grave mourning for my son.” So Joseph's father went on weeping for him. (Sheol h7585)
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 In the meantime the Ishmaelites had arrived in Egypt and had sold Joseph to Potiphar. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh's officers, 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.
