Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwells in the land of his father’s sojournings—in the land of Canaan.
Adapun Yakub, ia diam di negeri penumpangan ayahnya, yakni di tanah Kanaan.
2 These [are] the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, has been enjoying himself with his brothers among the flock (and he [is] a youth), with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, and Joseph brings in an account of their evil to their father.
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 And Israel has loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and has made for him a long coat;
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 and his brothers see that their father has loved him more than any of his brothers, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
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 Joseph dreams a dream, and declares to his brothers, and they add still more to hate him.
Pada suatu kali bermimpilah Yusuf, lalu mimpinya itu diceritakannya kepada saudara-saudaranya; sebab itulah mereka lebih benci lagi kepadanya.
6 And he says to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
Karena katanya kepada mereka: "Coba dengarkan mimpi yang kumimpikan ini:
7 that, behold, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and behold, my bundle has arisen, and has also stood up, and behold, your bundles are all around, and they bow themselves to my bundle.”
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 And his brothers say to him, “Do you certainly reign over us? Do you certainly rule over us?” And they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
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 And he dreams yet another dream, and recounts it to his brothers, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves 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 And he recounts to his father, and to his brothers; and his father pushes against him, and says to him, “What [is] this dream which you have dreamed? Do we certainly come, I, and your mother, and your brothers—to bow ourselves to you, to the earth?”
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 brothers are zealous against him, and his father has watched the matter.
Maka iri hatilah saudara-saudaranya kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya menyimpan hal itu dalam hatinya.
12 And his brothers go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Pada suatu kali pergilah saudara-saudaranya menggembalakan kambing domba ayahnya dekat Sikhem.
13 and Israel says to Joseph, “Are your brothers not feeding in Shechem? Come, and I send you to them”; and he says to him, “Here I [am]”;
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 says to him, “Now go see the peace of your brothers, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word”; and he sends him from the Valley of Hebron, and he comes 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 And a man finds him, and behold, he is wandering in the field, and the man asks him, saying, “What do you seek?”
Ketika Yusuf berjalan ke sana ke mari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki, yang bertanya kepadanya: "Apakah yang kaucari?"
16 And he says, “I am seeking my brothers, please declare to me where they are feeding.”
Sahutnya: "Aku mencari saudara-saudaraku. Tolonglah katakan kepadaku di mana mereka menggembalakan kambing domba?"
17 And the man says, “They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,” and Joseph goes after his brothers, and finds 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 they see him from afar, even before he draws near to them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
Dari jauh ia telah kelihatan kepada mereka. Tetapi sebelum ia dekat pada mereka, mereka telah bermufakat mencari daya upaya untuk membunuhnya.
19 And they say to one another, “Behold, this man of the dreams comes;
Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain: "Lihat, tukang mimpi kita itu datang!
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast has devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.”
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 And Reuben hears, and delivers him out of their hand, and says, “Let us not strike the life”;
Ketika Ruben mendengar hal ini, ia ingin melepaskan Yusuf dari tangan mereka, sebab itu katanya: "Janganlah kita bunuh dia!"
22 and Reuben says to them, “Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and do not put forth a hand on him,” in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back to his father.
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 And it comes to pass, when Joseph has come to his brothers, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] on him,
Baru saja Yusuf sampai kepada saudara-saudaranya, merekapun menanggalkan jubah Yusuf, jubah maha indah yang dipakainya itu.
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
Dan mereka membawa dia dan melemparkan dia ke dalam sumur. Sumur itu kosong, tidak berair.
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to 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 And Judah says to his brothers, “What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Lalu kata Yehuda kepada saudara-saudaranya itu: "Apakah untungnya kalau kita membunuh adik kita itu dan menyembunyikan darahnya?
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother—our flesh”; and his brothers listen.
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 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver, and they bring Joseph 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 And Reuben returns to the pit, and behold, Joseph is not in the pit, and he tears his garments,
Ketika Ruben kembali ke sumur itu, ternyata Yusuf tidak ada lagi di dalamnya. Lalu dikoyakkannyalah bajunya,
30 and he returns to his brothers and says, “The boy is not, and I—to where am I going?”
dan kembalilah ia kepada saudara-saudaranya, katanya: "Anak itu tidak ada lagi, ke manakah aku ini?"
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Kemudian mereka mengambil jubah Yusuf, dan menyembelih seekor kambing, lalu mencelupkan jubah itu ke dalam darahnya.
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] to their father, and say, “We have found this; please discern whether it [is] your son’s coat or not.”
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 And he discerns it and says, “My son’s coat! An evil beast has devoured him; torn—Joseph is torn!”
Ketika Yakub memeriksa jubah itu, ia berkata: "Ini jubah anakku; binatang buas telah memakannya; tentulah Yusuf telah diterkam."
34 And Jacob tears his raiment, and puts sackcloth on his loins, and becomes a mourner for his son many days,
Dan Yakub mengoyakkan jubahnya, lalu mengenakan kain kabung pada pinggangnya dan berkabunglah ia berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu.
35 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuses to comfort himself, and says, “For I go down to my son mourning, to Sheol,” and his father weeps 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 have sold him to Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
Adapun Yusuf, ia dijual oleh orang Midian itu ke Mesir, kepada Potifar, seorang pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja.
