Genesis 37
1 Jacob settled down and lived in Canaan as his father had done.
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 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.
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 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.
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 his brothers noticed that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and had nothing good to say about him.
Aꞌa nara rahine ama na sue Yusuf lenaꞌ, de ramanasa e seli. Ara nda nau ola-olaꞌ malolole ro e sa ena.
5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, 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 “Listen to this dream I had,” he told them.
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.”
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.
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 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.”
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 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?”
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 Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream.
De Yusuf aꞌa nara rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ ro e. Te aman dudꞌuꞌa meit naa nakandooꞌ a.
12 One day Joseph's brothers took their father's flocks to graze near Shechem.
Faiꞌ esa ma, Yusuf aꞌa nara rendi ama na hiek-lombo nara losa deka no kambo Sikem.
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.
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 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,
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 and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he asked him, “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'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?”
Yusuf nataa nae, “Toꞌo. Au sangga aꞌa nggara. Ara mboo hiek-lombo sangga uru deka-deka ia. Toꞌo nita se boe, do?”
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.
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 But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans to kill him.
Yusuf feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ, te ara rita e ena. Boe ma ara maꞌiraꞌ rae tao risa e.
19 “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
Esa nafadꞌe esa nae, “Mete dei. Malangga meit a nema ena!
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!”
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 all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.
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 “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.
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 arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
Yusuf losa boe ma, aꞌa nara toꞌu rala e, de sidꞌa hendi badꞌu naru meulau na.
24 grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
Basa ma, ara lea dudꞌui e, de timba e oe mates rala neu.
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.
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 “What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
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 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.
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 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.
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 came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief.
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 He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
Boe ma ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ odꞌi nara nae, “Aweee! Anaꞌ a nese ia ena. Ia naa, au ae tao taꞌo bee fai?”
31 They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's robe in the blood.
Basa ma ara hala hiek esa, de haꞌi Yusuf badꞌu meulau na, de boroꞌ e neu raaꞌ.
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.”
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 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!”
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 Jacob tore his clothes in grief and dressed in sackcloth. He mourned the death of his son for a long time.
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 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)
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 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.
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.
