< Genesis 37 >
1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
At tumahan si Jacob sa lupaing pinangibahang lupain ng kaniyang ama, sa lupain ng Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
Ito ang lahi ni Jacob. Si Jose, na may labing pitong taon, ay nagpapastol ng kawan na kasama ng kaniyang mga kapatid; at siya'y batang kasamahan ng mga anak ni Bilha at ng mga anak ni Zilpa, na mga asawa ng kaniyang ama; at ibinalita ni Jose sa kanilang ama ang kasamaan nila.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
Minamahal nga ni Israel si Jose ng higit kay sa lahat niyang anak, sapagka't siya ang anak ng kaniyang katandaan: at siya'y iginawa ng isang tunika na may sarisaring kulay.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
At nakita ng kaniyang mga kapatid na siya'y minamahal ng kanilang ama ng higit kay sa lahat niyang kapatid; at siya'y kinapootan, at hindi nila mapagsalitaan siya ng payapa.
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
At nanaginip si Jose ng isang panaginip, at isinaysay sa kaniyang mga kapatid: at lalo pa nilang kinapootan siya.
6 He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
At sinabi niya sa kanila. Pakinggan ninyo, ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo, itong panaginip na aking napanaginip:
7 And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
Sapagka't, narito, tayo'y nagtatali ng mga bigkis ng trigo sa bukid, at, narito, na tumindig ang aking bigkis, at tumuwid din naman at, narito, ang inyong mga bigkis ay napasa palibot at yumukod sa aking bigkis.
8 Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
At sa kaniya'y sinabi ng kaniyang mga kapatid, Maghahari ka ba sa amin? o papapanginoon ka sa amin? At lalo pa siyang kinapootan nila dahil sa kaniyang mga panaginip at sa kaniyang mga salita.
9 And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
At siya'y nanaginip pa ng ibang panaginip, at isinaysay sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at sinabi, Narito, ako'y nanaginip pa ng isang panaginip; at narito, na ang araw, at ang buwan at ang labing isang bituin ay yumukod sa akin.
10 When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
At kaniyang isinaysay sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang mga kapatid; at sinaway siya ng kaniyang ama, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Anong panaginip itong iyong napanaginip? Tunay bang ako at ang iyong ina at ang iyong mga kapatid ay yuyukod sa lupa sa harap mo?
11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
At ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay nainggit sa kaniya: datapuwa't iningatan ng kaniyang ama ang salita sa pagiisip.
12 Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
At yumaon ang kaniyang mga kapatid upang magpastol ng kawan ng kanilang ama, sa Sichem.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
At sinabi ni Israel kay Jose, Di ba nagpapastol ng kawan sa Sichem ang iyong mga kapatid? Halika, at uutusan kita sa kanila. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Narito ako.
14 So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniya, Yumaon ka, tingnan mo kung mabuti ang lagay ng iyong mga kapatid, at kung mabuti ang lagay ng kawan; at balitaan mo ako. Gayon sinugo siya mula sa libis ng Hebron, at siya'y naparoon sa Sichem.
15 And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
At nasumpungan siya ng isang tao, at, narito, na siya'y naggagala sa parang; at siya'y tinanong ng taong yaon, na sinasabi, Anong hinahanap mo?
16 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
At kaniyang sinabi, Hinahanap ko ang aking mga kapatid; ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na sabihin mo sa akin kung saan sila nagpapastol.
17 The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
At sinabi ng tao, Nagsialis na sila: sapagka't narinig kong kanilang sinabi, Tayo na sa Dotan. At sinundan ni Jose ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at nasumpungan niya sila sa Dotan.
18 Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
At kanilang natanawan siya sa malayo, at bago nakalapit sa kanila ay nagbanta sila laban sa kaniya na siya'y patayin.
19 And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
At nagsangusapan, Narito, dumarating itong mapanaginipin.
20 Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
Halikayo ngayon, siya'y ating patayin, at siya'y ating itapon sa isa sa mga balon, at ating sasabihin, Sinakmal siya ng isang masamang hayop: at ating makikita kung anong mangyayari sa kaniyang mga panaginip.
21 But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
At narinig ni Ruben, at iniligtas siya sa kanilang kamay; at sinabi, Huwag nating kitlin ang kaniyang buhay.
22 Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
At sinabi ni Ruben sa kanila, Huwag kayong magbubo ng dugo; itapon ninyo sa balong ito na nasa ilang, datapuwa't huwag ninyong pagbuhatan ng kamay; upang iligtas sa kanilang kamay ng mapabalik sa kaniyang ama.
23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
At nangyari, nang dumating si Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, na hinubdan siya ng kaniyang tunika, ng tunikang may sarisaring kulay na kaniyang suot;
24 And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
At kanilang sinunggaban, at kanilang itinapon sa balon: at ang balon ay tuyo, walang tubig.
25 Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
At nagsiupo upang kumain ng tinapay, at kanilang itiningin ang kanilang mga mata at tumingin sila, at, narito, ang isang pulutong na mga Ismaelita na nagsisipanggaling sa Gilead sangpu ng kanilang mga kamelyo at may dalang mga pabango, at mga balsamo, at mga mirra, na kanilang dadalhin sa Egipto.
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
At sinabi ni Juda sa kaniyang mga kapatid. Anong ating mapapakinabang kung ating patayin ang ating kapatid, at ilihim ang kaniyang dugo?
27 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
Halikayo, at atin siyang ipagbili sa mga Ismaelita, at huwag natin siyang pagbuhatan ng kamay; sapagka't siya'y ating kapatid, atin din laman. At dininig siya ng kaniyang mga kapatid.
28 So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
At nagsisipagdaan ang mga mangangalakal na mga Midianita; at kanilang isinampa si Jose sa balon, at ipinagbili nila si Jose sa mga Ismaelita ng dalawang pung putol na pilak. At dinala si Jose sa Egipto.
29 And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
At nagbalik si Ruben sa balon; at, narito, na si Jose ay wala sa balon; at kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang mga suot.
30 He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
At siya'y nagbalik sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at kaniyang sinabi, Wala ang bata; at ako, saan ako paroroon?
31 They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
At kanilang kinuha ang tunika ni Jose, at sila'y pumatay ng isang lalaking kambing, at kanilang inilubog ang tunika sa dugo:
32 And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
At kanilang ipinadala ang tunikang may sarisaring kulay, at dinala sa kanilang ama; at kanilang sinabi, Ito'y aming nasumpungan: kilalanin mo ngayon, kung tunika ng iyong anak o hindi.
33 And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
At kaniyang kinilala, at sinabi, Siya ngang tunika ng aking anak; sinakmal siya ng isang masamang hayop; si Jose ay walang pagsalang nilapa.
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
At hinapak ni Jacob ang kaniyang mga suot, at kaniyang nilagyan ng magaspang na damit ang kaniyang mga balakang, at tinangisang maraming araw ang kaniyang anak.
35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol )
At nagsitindig ang lahat niyang mga anak na lalake at babae upang siya'y aliwin; datapuwa't tumanggi siyang maaliw; at kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't lulusong akong tumatangis sa aking anak hanggang sa Sheol. At tinangisan siya ng kaniyang ama. (Sheol )
36 Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
At ipinagbili siya ng mga Midianita sa Egipto kay Potiphar, puno ni Faraon, na kapitan ng bantay.
