Genesis 37
1 Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
Yakub menetap di negeri Kanaan, tempat tinggal ayahnya,
2 These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
dan inilah riwayat keluarga Yakub: Pada waktu Yusuf, anak Yakub berumur tujuh belas tahun, ia mengurus kawanan kambing domba bersama-sama dengan abang-abangnya, yaitu anak-anak Bilha dan Zilpa, kedua selir ayahnya. Ia melaporkan kepada ayahnya perbuatan-perbuatan jahat yang dilakukan oleh abang-abangnya.
3 Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
Yakub lebih sayang kepada Yusuf dari semua anaknya yang lain, karena Yusuf dilahirkan ketika ayahnya sudah tua. Pada suatu hari dibuatnya untuk Yusuf sebuah jubah yang sangat bagus.
4 So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
Setelah abang-abang Yusuf melihat bahwa ayah mereka lebih sayang kepada Yusuf daripada kepada mereka, bencilah mereka kepada Yusuf, sehingga tidak mau lagi bicara baik-baik dengan dia.
5 And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
Pada suatu malam Yusuf bermimpi, dan ketika ia menceritakan mimpinya itu kepada abang-abangnya, mereka bertambah benci kepadanya.
6 For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
Inilah yang dikatakan Yusuf kepada mereka, "Coba dengar!
7 Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
Saya bermimpi kita semua sedang di ladang mengikat gandum, lalu gandum saya berdiri tegak. Gabung-gabung kalian mengelilingi gabung saya lalu sujud kepadanya."
8 Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
"Kaukira engkau akan menjadi raja dan berkuasa atas kami?" tegur abang-abangnya. Lalu makin bencilah mereka kepadanya karena mimpi-mimpinya dan karena apa yang dikatakannya.
9 Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
Kemudian Yusuf bermimpi lagi, dan ia mengatakan kepada abang-abangnya, "Saya bermimpi lagi, saya lihat matahari, bulan dan sebelas bintang sujud kepada saya."
10 Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
Mimpi itu diceritakannya pula kepada ayahnya, dan ayahnya menegur dia, katanya, "Mimpi apa itu? Kaupikir saya, ibumu dan saudara-saudaramu akan datang dan sujud menyembah kepadamu?"
11 And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
Abang-abang Yusuf iri hati kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya tetap memikirkan mimpi itu.
12 Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
Pada suatu hari ketika abang-abang Yusuf pergi ke Sikhem untuk menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba ayah mereka,
13 And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
berkatalah Yakub kepada Yusuf, "Pergilah ke Sikhem, ke tempat abang-abangmu menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba kita." Jawab Yusuf, "Baik, Ayah."
14 And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Kata ayahnya, "Lihatlah bagaimana keadaan abang-abangmu dan kawanan kambing domba, lalu kembalilah untuk melapor kepada saya." Maka dilepaskannya Yusuf pergi meninggalkan Lembah Hebron. Tak lama kemudian sampailah Yusuf di Sikhem.
15 Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Sementara ia berjalan ke sana kemari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki yang bertanya kepadanya, "Apa yang kaucari?"
16 And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
"Abang-abang saya. Mereka sedang menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba," jawab Yusuf, "Tahukah Bapak di mana mereka berada?"
17 And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
Kata orang itu, "Mereka telah berangkat dari sini. Saya dengar mereka berkata bahwa mereka hendak pergi ke Dotan." Lalu berangkatlah Yusuf menyusul abang-abangnya dan ditemukannya mereka di Dotan.
18 And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
Dari jauh mereka telah melihat Yusuf, dan sebelum ia sampai kepada mereka, mereka sepakat untuk membunuh dia.
19 For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain, "Lihat, si tukang mimpi itu datang.
20 Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
Ayo kita bunuh dia dan lemparkan mayatnya ke dalam sumur yang kering. Kita katakan nanti bahwa dia diterkam binatang buas. Kita lihat nanti bagaimana jadinya mimpi-mimpinya itu."
21 But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
Ruben mendengar rencana mereka itu, lalu ia berusaha untuk menyelamatkan Yusuf. "Jangan bunuh dia," katanya.
22 Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
"Kita lemparkan saja ke dalam sumur di padang gurun ini, tetapi jangan kita pukul atau lukai dia." Hal itu dikatakannya karena ia bermaksud menyelamatkan Yusuf dan menyuruh dia pulang ke rumah.
23 Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
Ketika Yusuf sampai kepada abang-abangnya, dengan kasar mereka menanggalkan jubah Yusuf yang sangat bagus itu.
24 And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
Lalu mereka menyeret dia dan melemparkannya ke dalam sumur yang kering.
25 Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
Ketika mereka sedang makan, tiba-tiba terlihat oleh mereka suatu kafilah orang Ismael yang sedang dalam perjalanan dari Gilead ke Mesir. Unta-unta mereka bermuatan rempah-rempah dan kismis.
26 Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
Lalu kata Yehuda kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Apa gunanya membunuh adik kita dan merahasiakan pembunuhan itu?
27 Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
Mari kita jual dia kepada orang Ismael itu. Tak usah kita sakiti dia. Bagaimanapun juga dia adalah adik kita sendiri." Saudara-saudaranya setuju,
28 Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
dan ketika beberapa pedagang Midian lewat, Yusuf dikeluarkan oleh abang-abangnya dari dalam sumur itu lalu dijual kepada orang Ismael itu dengan harga dua puluh keping perak. Kemudian ia dibawa oleh pedagang-pedagang itu ke Mesir.
29 Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
Ketika Ruben kembali ke sumur itu dan tidak menemui Yusuf di situ, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya karena sedih.
30 And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
Ia kembali kepada saudara-saudaranya dan berkata, "Anak itu tidak ada lagi di situ! Apa yang harus saya lakukan sekarang?"
31 And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
Lalu mereka menyembelih seekor kambing dan mencelupkan jubah Yusuf ke dalam darah kambing itu.
32 So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
Kemudian jubah itu mereka suruh antarkan kepada ayah mereka dengan pesan, "Jubah ini kami temukan. Milik anak Ayahkah ini?"
33 Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
Yakub mengenali jubah itu, lalu berkata, "Betul, ini jubah anakku! Pasti dia sudah diterkam binatang buas. Aduh, anak saya Yusuf sudah mati dikoyak-koyak binatang itu!"
34 And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
Yakub merobek pakaiannya karena sedih dan memakai pakaian kabung. Berhari-hari lamanya ia meratapi anaknya itu.
35 Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Semua anak-anaknya, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan datang menghiburnya, tetapi ia tak mau dihibur. Katanya, "Sampai mati saya akan terus meratapi anak saya." Demikianlah ia terus berkabung karena Yusuf anaknya. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
Sementara itu, di Mesir, orang-orang Midian telah menjual Yusuf kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
