Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwells in the land of his father’s sojournings—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, 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 dreams a dream, and declares to his brothers, and they add still more to hate him.
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 says to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
A i mea ia ki a ratou, Tena, whakarongo ki tenei moe i moe nei ahau:
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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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?”
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 are zealous against him, and his father has watched the matter.
Na ka hae ona tuakana ki a ia; ko tona papa ia i mahara ki te kupu.
12 And his brothers go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Na ka haere ona tuakana ki te whangai i nga hipi a to ratou papa i Hekeme.
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]”;
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 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.
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 man finds him, and behold, he is wandering in the field, and the man asks him, saying, “What do you seek?”
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 says, “I am seeking my brothers, please declare to me where they are feeding.”
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 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.
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 they see him from afar, even before he draws near to them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
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 say to one another, “Behold, this man of the dreams comes;
A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, ko te moemoea tenei te haere mai nai.
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.”
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 Reuben hears, and delivers him out of their hand, and says, “Let us not strike the life”;
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 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.
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 comes to pass, when Joseph has come to his brothers, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] 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 take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is 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 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.
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 says to his brothers, “What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed 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 we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother—our flesh”; and his brothers listen.
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 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.
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 Reuben returns to the pit, and behold, Joseph is not in the pit, and he tears his garments,
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 returns to his brothers and says, “The boy is not, and I—to where am I going?”
Na ka hoki ia ki ona teina, ka mea, Kahore nei te tamaiti; a ko ahau, me haere ahau ki hea?
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip 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 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.”
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 discerns it and says, “My son’s coat! An evil beast has devoured him; torn—Joseph is torn!”
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 tears his raiment, and puts sackcloth on his loins, and becomes a mourner 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 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)
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 have sold him to Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
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.
