Genesis 37
1 Jacob settled down and lived in Canaan as his father had done.
Nanirahan si Jacob sa lupain kung saan naroon ang kanyang ama, sa lupain ng Canaan.
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.
Ito ang mga pangyayari tungkol kay Jacob. Nang labimpitong taong gulang pa lang si Jose, nagbabantay siya ng kawan kasama ang kanyang mga kapatid. Kasama niya ang mga anak na lalaki ni Bilhah at mga anak na lalaki ni Zilpah, mga asawa nang kanyang ama. Nagdala si Jose ng hindi kanais-nais na balita tungkol sa kanila sa kanilang ama.
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.
Minahal ni Israel si Jose nang mas higit sa lahat ng kanyang anak na lalaki dahil siya ang anak niya sa katandaan. Ginawan siya nang isang magandang damit.
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.
Nakita ng kanyang mga kapatid ang pagmamahal ng kanilang ama na mas higit kaysa sa lahat niyang kapatid na lalaki. Siya ay kinamuhian nila at hindi nakikipag-usap nang maayos.
5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.
Nanaginip si Jose ng isang panaginip, at sinabi niya sa kanyang mga kapatid ang tungkol dito. Lalo pa nila siyang kinamuhia.
6 “Listen to this dream I had,” he told them.
Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pakiusap makinig kayo sa panaginip na aking napanaginipan.
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.”
Masdan ninyo, itinatali natin ang mga bigkis ng mga butil sa bukid at masdan ninyo, tumayo ang aking bigkis at tumuwid, at masdan ninyo, pumalibot ang inyong mga bigkis at yumuko sa aking bigkis.
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.
Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang mga kapatid, “Magiging hari ka ba talaga namin? Mamumuno ka sa amin? “Lalo siyang kinamuhian dahil sa kanyang mga panaginip at sa kanyang mga salita.
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.”
Nanaginip siya ulit ng panaginip at sinabi niya ito sa kanyang mga kapatid. Sinabi niya, “Tingnan ninyo, nanaginip ako ng ibang panaginip: Ang araw at ang buwan at labing-isang bituin ay yumuko pababa sa akin.”
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?”
Sinabi niya ito sa kanyang ama pati sa kanyang mga kapatid, at pinagsabihan siya ng kanyang ama. Sinabi niya sa kanya, “Ano itong panaginip na napaginipan mo? Talaga bang lalapit ang iyong ina, ako at ang mga kapatid mo para yumuko sa iyo sa lupa?”
11 Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream.
Nainggit sa kanya ang kanyang mga kapatid, pero ang kanyang ama ay itinago ang bagay sa kanyang isip.
12 One day Joseph's brothers took their father's flocks to graze near Shechem.
Umalis ang mga kapatid ni Jose upang magpastol ng kawan ng kanilang ama sa Sechem.
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.
Sinabi ni Jacob kay Jose, “Hindi ba nagpapastol ng kawan ang iyong mga kapatid sa Sechem? Halika, at ipapadala kita sa kanila.” Sinabi ni Jose sa kanya, “Nakahanda ako.”
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,
Sinabi niya sa kanya, “Umalis ka na ngayon, tingnan mo kung maayos ang mga kapatid mo at maayos ang mga kawan, at balitaan mo ako.” Kaya pinadala siya ni Jacob sa lambak ng Hebron, at nagpunta si Jose sa Sichem.
15 and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he asked him, “What are you looking for?”
May isang taong nakakita kay Jose. Masdan mo, si Jose ay pagala-gala sa isang bukid. Tinanong siya ng isang lalaki, “Ano ang hinahanap mo?”
16 “I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?”
Sinabi ni Jose, “Hinahanap ko ang aking mga kapatid. Pakiusap, sabihin mo sa akin kung saan nila nagpapastol ang kawan.”
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.
Sinabi ng lalaki, “Umalis na sila sa lugar na ito, narinig ko silang nagsabi na, “Pumunta tayo sa Dotan. Pinuntahan ni Jose ang kanyang mga kapatid at natagpuan sila sa Dotan.
18 But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans to kill him.
Nakita nila si Jose mula sa di kalayuan, at bago siya makalapit sa kanila, nakapagplano na sila laban sa kanya para patayin siya.
19 “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
Sinabi ng kanyang mga kapatid sa bawat isa, “Tingnan niyo, Papalapit na ang taong mapanaginipin.
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!”
Halikayo, kung ganon, patayin na natin siya at ihulog siya sa isa sa mga balon. Sabihin natin, 'Sinakmal siya ng isang mabangis na hayop.' Tingnan natin kung anong mangyayari sa kanyang mga panaginip.”
21 When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.
Narinig ito ni Reuben at iniligtas siya mula sa kanilang kamay. Sinabi niya, “Huwag nating kunin ang kanyang buhay.”
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.
Sinabi ni Reuben sa kanila, “Huwag magpadanak ng dugo. Itapon siya sa balong ito sa deserto, ngunit huwag ninyo siyang hawakan”— upang mailigtas niya siya sa kanilang kamay para maibalik siya sa kanyang ama.
23 So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
Nangyari na nang dumating si Jose sa kanyang mga kapatid, hinubad sa kaniya ang magandang damit.
24 grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
Dinala siya at itinapon siya sa loob ng balon. Walang laman ang balon ni wala itong tubig.
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.
Umupo sila para kumain ng tinapay. Tumingala sila at tumingin, at masdan, may paparating na isang karawan ng mga Ismaelita mula sa Gilead, kasama ang kanilang mga kamelyo na may dala-dalang mga sahog at balsamo at mira. Naglalakbay sila ay para dalhin ang mga iyon pababa sa Ehipto.
26 “What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
Sabi ni Juda sa kanyang mga kapatid, “Anong pakinabang nito kung papatayin ang ating kapatid at pagtakpan ang kanyang dugo?
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.
Halina kayo, at ipagbili natin siya sa mga Ismaelita, at huwag natin siyang pagbuhatan ng kamay. Dahil siya ay ating kapatid, ating laman. Pinakinggan siya ng kanyang mga kapatid.
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.
Dumaan ang mga mangangalakal na Midianita. Inihaon si Jose ng kanyang mga kapatid at iniakyat pataas mula sa balon. Ipinagbili nila si Jose sa mga Ismaelita para sa dalawampung pirasong pilak. Dinala si Jose ng mga Ismaelita sa Ehipto.
29 When Reuben came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief.
Bumalik si Reuben sa balon, at masdan, wala na si Jose sa loob ng balon. Pinunit niya ang kanyang damit.
30 He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
Bumalik siya sa kanyang mga kapatid at sinabi, “Nasaan na ang bata? At ako, saan ako paparoon?”
31 They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's robe in the blood.
Kumatay sila ang isang kambing at pagkatapos kinuha nila ang damit ni Jose at sinawsaw ito sa dugo.
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.”
Pagkatapos, dinala nila ito sa kanilang ama at sinabi, “Nakita namin ito. Pakiusap tingnan mo kung ito ang damit ng inyong anak o hindi?”
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!”
Nakilala ito ni Jacob at sinabi, “Ito ay damit ng aking anak. Sinakmal siya ng isang mabangis na hayop. Tiyak na nagkawasak-wasak ang katawan ni Jose.”
34 Jacob tore his clothes in grief and dressed in sackcloth. He mourned the death of his son for a long time.
Pinunit ni Jacob ang kanyang mga damit at naglagay siya ng sako sa kanyang balakang. Nagluksa siya para sa kanyang anak ng maraming araw.
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)
Ang lahat ng kanyang mga anak na lalaki at babae ay pumunta para aliwin siya ngunit tumanggi siyang magpaaliw. Sabi niya, “Talagang bababa ako sa sheol na nagluluksa para sa aking anak.” Nanangis ang kanyang ama para kanya. (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.
Ipinagbili siya ng mga Midianita sa Ehipto kay Potipar, isang opisyal ni Paraon, na kapitan ng bantay.
