Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
A i noho a Hakopa i te whenua i noho manene ai tona papa, i te whenua o Kanaana.
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.
Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Hakopa. Kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau o Hohepa, a i te whangai hipi ia, ratou ko ona tuakana; he taitama hoki ia i te taha o nga tama a Piriha, o nga tama a Tiripa, a nga wahine a tona papa: a ka kawea e Hohepa te kor ero kino mo ratou ki to ratou papa.
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.
Na i arohaina nuitia a Hohepa e Iharaira i ana tama katoa, no te mea ko te tama ia o tona koroheketanga: a ka hanga e ia tetahi koti purepure mona.
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.
A ka kite ona tuakana e arohatia nuitia ana ia e to ratou papa i ona tuakana katoa, na ka kino ratou ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i ahei te ata korero ki a ia.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
Na ka moe a Hohepa i tetahi moe, a ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana; ka nui haere ano to ratou kino ki a ia.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
A i mea ia ki a ratou, Tena, whakarongo ki tenei moe i moe nei ahau:
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.
Nana, i te paihere witi tatou i waenga mara, na ka whakatika ake taku paihere, a ka tu; ko te tino karapotinga mai o a koutou paihere, kei te piko iho ki taku paihere.
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.
Na ka mea ona tuakana ki a ia, Koia ranei ko koe hei kingi mo matou? hei rangatira ano ranei koe mo matou? Na ka nui haere ano to ratou kino ki a ia mo ana moe, mo ana kupu.
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.
A i moe ano ia i tetahi atu moe, a ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana, ka mea ia, Nana, tenei ano hoki tetahi moe i moe ai ahau; na, ko te ra me te marama, me nga whetu kotahi tekau ma tahi, e piko mai ana ki ahau.
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.
A ka korerotia e ia ki tona papa ratou ko ona tuakana: na ka whakatupehupehu tona papa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tenei moe i moe nei koe? Tera ranei matou, ko tou whaea, ko ou tuakana, e haere mai ki te piko ki a koe, ki te whenua?
11 And his brothers envied him; but his father noted the matter [in his mind].
Na ka hae ona tuakana ki a ia; ko tona papa ia i mahara ki te kupu.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flocks in Shechem.
Na ka haere ona tuakana ki te whangai i nga hipi a to ratou papa i Hekeme.
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.
A ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kahore ianei ou tuakana i te whangai hipi i Hekeme? haere mai, me tono koe e ahau ki a ratou. Ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tena, haere, tirohia, kei te ora ranei ou tuakana, kei te ora ano ranei nga hipi; ka whakahoki mai ia i te korero ki ahau. Na ka tonoa atu ia e ia i te raorao o Heperona, a ka haere ia ki Hekeme.
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?
A ka tutaki tetahi tangata ki a ia, e pohehe ana hoki ia i te parae, a ka ui taua tangata ki a ia, He aha tau e rapu na?
16 And he said, I seek my brothers; tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flocks?
Na ka mea ia, E rapu ana ahau i oku tuakana: tena koa, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, kei hea ratou e whangai ana i te kahui.
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.
Ka mea taua tangata, Kua riro atu ratou i konei; i rongo hoki ahau i a ratou e ki ana, Kia haere tatou ki Rotana. Na ka haere a Hohepa ki te whai i ona tuakana, a ka kitea ratou e ia ki Rotana.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Na ka kite mai ratou i a ia i tawhiti, a, i te mea kahore ano ia i tata noa ki a ratou, ka whakatakoto whakaaro ratou mona kia whakamatea.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, here comes this man of dreams.
A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, ko te moemoea tenei te haere mai nai.
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.
Tena, tatou ka haere, ka patu i a ia, ka maka hoki i a ia ki tetahi o nga poka, a ka mea tatou, Na tetahi mohoao nanakia ia i kai: a ka kite tatou i te tukunga iho o ana moe.
21 And when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hand; and he said, Let us not put him to death.
Na i rongo a Reupena, a ka whakaorangia ia e ia i roto i o ratou ringa; ka mea ia, Kaua ia e patua e tatou.
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.
Ka mea ano a Reupena ki a ratou, Kaua e whakahekea he toto; maka atu ia ki roto ki tenei poka i te koraha nei, kaua hoki tetahi ringa e pa ki a ia; he mea hoki kia whakaora ai ia i a ia i roto i o ratou ringa, kia whakahoki ai ia i a ia ki tona papa.
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;
A, i te taenga o Hohepa ki ona tuakana, ka huia e ratou te koti o Hohepa, te koti purepure e mau ana i a ia;
24 And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
A mauria ana ia, maka ana e ratou ki te poka: he tuwhera kau ano te poka, kahore he wai o roto.
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.
Na ka noho ratou ki te kai taro: a ka anga ake o ratou kanohi, na, ko tetahi tira Ihimaeri e haere mai ana i Kireara me a ratou kamera, he waha i nga mea kakara, i te pama, i te maira, e haere ana ki te kawe ki raro, ki Ihipa.
26 And Judah said unto his brothers, What profit will it be if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Na ka mea a Hura ki ona tuakana ratou ko ona teina, He aha te pai o ta tatou patu i to tatou teina, o te huna hoki i ona toto?
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.
Tatou ka haere, ka hoko i a ia ki nga Ihimaeri, a kaua o tatou ringa e pa ki a ia; ko to tatou teina nei hoki ia, ko to tatou kikokiko. A i whakaae ona tuakana ratou ko ona teina.
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.
Na ka haere mai nga Miriani, he hunga hokohoko: ka hutia ake e ratou a Hohepa i roto i te poka, a ka hokona atu a Hohepa e ratou ki nga Ihimaeri, ki nga hiriwa e rua tekau: a ka kawea a Hohepa e ratou ki Ihipa.
29 And when Reuben returned unto the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.
A ka hoki mai a Reupena ki te poka; na, kohore a Hohepa i roto i te poka; a ka haea e ia ona kakahu.
30 And he returned unto his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, whither shall I go?
Na ka hoki ia ki ona teina, ka mea, Kahore nei te tamaiti; a ko ahau, me haere ahau ki hea?
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Na ka tango ratou i te koti o Hohepa, a ka patua he koati toa, ka tukua hoki te koti ki te toto;
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.
Na ka hoatu te koti purepure kia kawea ki to ratou papa; ka mea ratou, I kitea tenei e matou; tena, tirohia ko te koti ranei o tau tama, ehara ranei?
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.
A ka mohiotia e ia, a ka mea ia, Ko te koti tenei o taku tama; kua kainga ia e te kirehe nanakia; kua tino haea rawatia a Hohepa.
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Na ka haea e Hakopa ona kakahu, ka kakahuria e ia tona hope ki te kakahu taratara, a he maha nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tana tama.
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)
Ka whakatika hoki ana tama katoa me ana tamahine katoa ki te whakamarie i a ia; a kihai ia i pai kia whakamarietia; ka mea ia, Engari ka heke tangi atu ahau ki taku tama ki te po. Na ka uhungatia ia e tona papa. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guards.
Na ka hokona atu ia e nga Miriani ki Ihipa ki a Potiwhara, ki tetahi o nga tangata nui a Parao, ki te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
