Genesis 37
1 Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
Adapun Yakub, ia diam di negeri penumpangan ayahnya, yakni di tanah Kanaan.
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.
Inilah riwayat keturunan Yakub. Yusuf, tatkala berumur tujuh belas tahun--jadi masih muda--biasa menggembalakan kambing domba, bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudaranya, anak-anak Bilha dan Zilpa, kedua isteri ayahnya. Dan Yusuf menyampaikan kepada ayahnya kabar tentang kejahatan saudara-saudaranya.
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.
Israel lebih mengasihi Yusuf dari semua anaknya yang lain, sebab Yusuf itulah anaknya yang lahir pada masa tuanya; dan ia menyuruh membuat jubah yang maha indah bagi dia.
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 dilihat oleh saudara-saudaranya, bahwa ayahnya lebih mengasihi Yusuf dari semua saudaranya, maka bencilah mereka itu kepadanya dan tidak mau menyapanya dengan ramah.
5 And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
Pada suatu kali bermimpilah Yusuf, lalu mimpinya itu diceritakannya kepada saudara-saudaranya; sebab itulah mereka lebih benci lagi kepadanya.
6 For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
Karena katanya kepada mereka: "Coba dengarkan mimpi yang kumimpikan ini:
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.
Tampak kita sedang di ladang mengikat berkas-berkas gandum, lalu bangkitlah berkasku dan tegak berdiri; kemudian datanglah berkas-berkas kamu sekalian mengelilingi dan sujud menyembah kepada berkasku itu."
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.
Lalu saudara-saudaranya berkata kepadanya: "Apakah engkau ingin menjadi raja atas kami? Apakah engkau ingin berkuasa atas kami?" Jadi makin bencilah mereka kepadanya karena mimpinya dan karena perkataannya itu.
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.
Lalu ia memimpikan pula mimpi yang lain, yang diceritakannya kepada saudara-saudaranya. Katanya: "Aku bermimpi pula: Tampak matahari, bulan dan sebelas bintang sujud menyembah kepadaku."
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?
Setelah hal ini diceritakannya kepada ayah dan saudara-saudaranya, maka ia ditegor oleh ayahnya: "Mimpi apa mimpimu itu? Masakan aku dan ibumu serta saudara-saudaramu sujud menyembah kepadamu sampai ke tanah?"
11 And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
Maka iri hatilah saudara-saudaranya kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya menyimpan hal itu dalam hatinya.
12 Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
Pada suatu kali pergilah saudara-saudaranya menggembalakan kambing domba ayahnya dekat Sikhem.
13 And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
Lalu Israel berkata kepada Yusuf: "Bukankah saudara-saudaramu menggembalakan kambing domba dekat Sikhem? Marilah engkau kusuruh kepada mereka." Sahut Yusuf: "Ya bapa."
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 Israel kepadanya: "Pergilah engkau melihat apakah baik keadaan saudara-saudaramu dan keadaan kambing domba; dan bawalah kabar tentang itu kepadaku." Lalu Yakub menyuruh dia dari lembah Hebron, dan Yusufpun sampailah ke Sikhem.
15 Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Ketika Yusuf berjalan ke sana ke mari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki, yang bertanya kepadanya: "Apakah yang kaucari?"
16 And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
Sahutnya: "Aku mencari saudara-saudaraku. Tolonglah katakan kepadaku di mana mereka menggembalakan kambing domba?"
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.
Lalu kata orang itu: "Mereka telah berangkat dari sini, sebab telah kudengar mereka berkata: Marilah kita pergi ke Dotan." Maka Yusuf menyusul saudara-saudaranya itu dan didapatinyalah 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 ia telah kelihatan kepada mereka. Tetapi sebelum ia dekat pada mereka, mereka telah bermufakat mencari daya upaya untuk membunuhnya.
19 For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain: "Lihat, tukang mimpi kita 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.
Sekarang, marilah kita bunuh dia dan kita lemparkan ke dalam salah satu sumur ini, lalu kita katakan: seekor binatang buas telah menerkamnya. Dan kita akan lihat nanti, bagaimana jadinya mimpinya itu!"
21 But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
Ketika Ruben mendengar hal ini, ia ingin melepaskan Yusuf dari tangan mereka, sebab itu katanya: "Janganlah kita bunuh dia!"
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.
Lagi kata Ruben kepada mereka: "Janganlah tumpahkan darah, lemparkanlah dia ke dalam sumur yang ada di padang gurun ini, tetapi janganlah apa-apakan dia" --maksudnya hendak melepaskan Yusuf dari tangan mereka dan membawanya kembali kepada ayahnya.
23 Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
Baru saja Yusuf sampai kepada saudara-saudaranya, merekapun menanggalkan jubah Yusuf, jubah maha indah yang dipakainya itu.
24 And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
Dan mereka membawa dia dan melemparkan dia ke dalam sumur. Sumur itu kosong, tidak berair.
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.
Kemudian duduklah mereka untuk makan. Ketika mereka mengangkat muka, kelihatanlah kepada mereka suatu kafilah orang Ismael datang dari Gilead dengan untanya yang membawa damar, balsam dan damar ladan, dalam perjalanannya mengangkut barang-barang itu ke Mesir.
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 itu: "Apakah untungnya kalau kita membunuh adik kita itu dan menyembunyikan darahnya?
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.
Marilah kita jual dia kepada orang Ismael ini, tetapi janganlah kita apa-apakan dia, karena ia saudara kita, darah daging kita." Dan saudara-saudaranya mendengarkan perkataannya itu.
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.
Ketika ada saudagar-saudagar Midian lewat, Yusuf diangkat ke atas dari dalam sumur itu, kemudian dijual kepada orang Ismael itu dengan harga dua puluh syikal perak. Lalu Yusuf dibawa mereka 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, ternyata Yusuf tidak ada lagi di dalamnya. Lalu dikoyakkannyalah bajunya,
30 And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
dan kembalilah ia kepada saudara-saudaranya, katanya: "Anak itu tidak ada lagi, ke manakah aku ini?"
31 And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
Kemudian mereka mengambil jubah Yusuf, dan menyembelih seekor kambing, lalu mencelupkan jubah itu ke dalam darahnya.
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.
Jubah maha indah itu mereka suruh antarkan kepada ayah mereka dengan pesan: "Ini kami dapati. Silakanlah bapa periksa apakah jubah ini milik anak bapa atau tidak?"
33 Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
Ketika Yakub memeriksa jubah itu, ia berkata: "Ini jubah anakku; binatang buas telah memakannya; tentulah Yusuf telah diterkam."
34 And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
Dan Yakub mengoyakkan jubahnya, lalu mengenakan kain kabung pada pinggangnya dan berkabunglah ia berhari-hari lamanya karena 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)
Sekalian anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan berusaha menghiburkan dia, tetapi ia menolak dihiburkan, serta katanya: "Tidak! Aku akan berkabung, sampai aku turun mendapatkan anakku, ke dalam dunia orang mati!" Demikianlah Yusuf ditangisi oleh ayahnya. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
Adapun Yusuf, ia dijual oleh orang Midian itu ke Mesir, kepada Potifar, seorang pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja.
