Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Jakobo nodak e piny Kanaan, kuma ne wuon-gi odakie.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and he was as a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil reports of them unto his father.
Ma e nonro mar joka Jakobo. Kane Josef ja-higni apar gabiriyo, nohero kwayo jamb wuon-gi ka en kaachiel gi owetene ma yawuot Bilha kod yawuot Zilpa ma magi gin monde wuon-gi. To Josef nonyiso wuon-gi timbe moko maricho ma owetene ne timo.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors.
Koro Israel nohero Josef moloyo yawuote mamoko, nikech en nyathi mane onywolne ka oseti, kendo nolosone law mar kandho maber.
4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Kane owetene oneno ni wuon-gi ohero Josef moloyogi, negidoko mamon kode kendo ne ok ginyal wuoyo kode maber.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
Chiengʼ moro Josef noleko, kendo kane onyiso owetene lekno, to owetene nomedo bedo mamon kode.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Nowachonegi niya, “Winjeuru kaka nende aleko:
7 And, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also remained standing upright; and, behold, your sheaves placed themselves round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Ne watweyo cham manie puodho eka apoya nono wi cham mane asetweyo nochungʼ tir, ka wiye chambu olworo wi chamba kendo okulorene.”
8 And his brothers said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Owetene nowachone niya, “Iparo ni inyalo telonwa? Bende inyalo telonwa adier?” Kendo negimedo bedo mamon kode nikech lekneno kod gimane owachonegi.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers; and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Eka Josef nochako oleko lek machielo, kendo nowacho ne owetene lekno. Nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru lek machielo manyoro aleko ni wangʼ chiengʼ gi dwe kod sulwe apar gachiel kulorena.”
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother, and thy brothers, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth.
Kane onyiso wuon-gi kaachiel gi owetene, wuon-gi nokwede kendo owachone niya, “Ma en lek manade manyoro ilekoni? Iparo ni minu kod an kod oweteni nyalo biro kuloreni mondo omiyi duongʼ?”
11 And his brothers envied him; but his father noted the matter [in his mind].
Owetene ne nyiego omako kode, to wuon-gi to ne okano wechego e chunye.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flocks in Shechem.
Koro noyudo owete Josef kwayo jamb wuon-gi machiegni gi Shekem,
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brothers feed [the flocks] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Kaka ingʼeyo ni oweteni kwayo jamni machiegni gi Shekem; koro bi mondo aori irgi.” Josef nodwoke niya, “Mano ber.”
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Kuom mano nowachone niya, “Dhiyo kendo ineane ka oweteni dhi maber kod jamni, kendo iduogna wach.” Kamano nooro Josef koa e Holo mar Hebron. Kane Josef otundo Shekem,
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering astray in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
ngʼat moro noromo kode ka owuotho awuotha e thim mi openje niya, “Imanyo angʼo?”
16 And he said, I seek my brothers; tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flocks?
Nodwoke niya, “Adwaro owetena. Kinyisa kuma gikwayoe jambgi?”
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Gisewuok ka. Ne awinjo kagiwacho ni gidhi Dothan.” Kuom mano Josef noluwo bangʼ owetene kendo noyudogi machiegni gi Dothan.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
To ne ginene kapod en mabor, kendo kane pok ochopo irgi, negichano mondo ginege.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, here comes this man of dreams.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neuru jalek lek cha biro!
20 And now, come and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Biuru mondo wanege kendo wawite e bungu moro achiel kendo wawach ni le moro mager nyonege. Eka mondo wane gima lekne biro timone.”
21 And when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hand; and he said, Let us not put him to death.
Kane Reuben owinjo ma notemo mondo ores Josef e lwet owetene. Nowachonegi niya, “Kik wanege.
22 And Reuben said unto them, Do not shed blood; but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hand upon him; —in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back again to his father.
Kik uchwer remo moro amora, witeuru e bugo manie thim kaeni, to kik uket lwetu kuome.” Reuben nowacho mondo ores Josef kendo odwoke ir wuon-gi.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brothers, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
Kuom mano kane Josef ochopo ir owetene ne gilonyo kandhone mane olos gi law maber kendo ma nengone tek,
24 And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
kendo ne gikawe mi giwite e bugo. Bugono ne ninono kendo pi ne onge e iye.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead; and their camels were bearing spicery, and balm, and lotus, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Kane gibet gichiemo negineno oganda mar jo-Ishmael koa Gilead. Ngamia notingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi mane-mane kod yiende moko, kendo negiterogi Misri.
26 And Judah said unto his brothers, What profit will it be if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Juda nowacho ne owetene niya, “Ere ohala ma wabiro yudo ka wanego owadwa kendo wapando rembe?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let our hand not be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
Biuru mondo wause ne jo-Ishmael kendo kik waket lwetwa kuome; nikech en owadwa, ringrewa kendo rembwa.” Owetege noyie giwachno.
28 And when the Midianitish men, merchants, passed by, they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Kuom mano kane jo-ohala ma jo-Midian ochopo machiegni, owete Josef noywaye oko e bugo kendo nouse kuom shekel piero ariyo mar fedha ne jo-Ishmaelgo, mane otere Misri.
29 And when Reuben returned unto the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.
Kane Reuben odok e bugo mane owit e Josef kendo oyudo ni Josef onge kanyo, noyiecho lepe.
30 And he returned unto his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, whither shall I go?
Nodok ir owetene mowachonegi niya, “Rawera cha onge kacha! Koro anyalo timo angʼo?”
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Eka negikawo kandho Josef, mi giyangʼo diel kendo ginyumo kandho Josef e remb diel.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: acknowledge, we pray thee, whether it be thy son's coat or not.
Ne gitero ne wuon-gi kandho Josef mane olos maber kendo ma nengone tek kagiwacho niya, “Ne wayudo kandhoni. Range ane maber ka en mar wuodi.”
33 And he recognized it, and said, it is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is surely torn in pieces.
Israel nofwenyo kendo owacho niya, “Ma en kandho wuoda! Le moro mager nonege. En adier ni le mager onego Josef mokidhe matindo tindo.”
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Eka Jakobo noyiecho lepe, morwako pien gugru kendo noywago Josef wuode kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I must go down unto my son, mourning, into the grave; thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Yawuote kod nyige duto nobiro mondo ohoye, to notamore ahoya. Nowacho niya, “Ooyo, abiro ywago wuoda nyaka atho aluw bangʼe.” Kuom mano wuon-gi noywage. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guards.
To jo-Midian nouso Josef e piny Misri ne Potifa, achiel kuom jotich mag Farao, jaduongʼ jorit od ruoth.
