Genesis 37
1 So Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, —in the land of Canaan.
Jacob el mutana in acn Canaan, yen papa tumal tuh muta we,
2 These, are the generations of Jacob—Joseph, when seventeen years old, was shepherding with his brethren among the flocks, and, he, being a youth, was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah wives of his father, —so then Joseph brought in the talk about them—something bad, unto their father.
ac pa inge sramsram ke sou lal Jacob. Joseph el sie mwet fusr yac na singoul itkosr, ac el wi mwet lel liyaung sheep ac nani uh. Mwet lel inge ma natul Bilhah ac Zilpah, mutan kulansap luo kien papa tumaltal ah. Joseph el tukakin nu sin papa tumal ma koluk mwet wial inge oru.
3 Now, Israel, loved Joseph more than any of his sons, because he was to him, the son of his old age, and he had made him, a long tunic.
Jacob el lungse Joseph yohk liki mwet lel nukewa, mweyen el isusyang nu sel ke el arulana matu. Jacob el orala sie nuknuk na oa lal ma loes pao.
4 So his brethren saw that their father loved him, more than any of his brethren, and they hated him, and could not bid him prosper,
Ke tamulel lal liye lah papa tumalos el kuloel Joseph yohk lukelos nukewa, elos arulana kwasel Joseph, pwanang elos tia ku in kaskas kulang nu sel.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they went on yet more to hate him.
Sie pacl ah Joseph el oru mweme se, ac ke el srumunang nu sin tamulel lal, elos srungal yohk liki meet ah.
6 And he said unto them, Hear ye I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
El fahk, “Lohng mweme se nga oru inge.
7 Lo! then, we, were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, when lo my sheaf rose up, yea and took its stand, —and lo! round about came your sheaves, and bowed themselves down to my sheaf.
Kut nukewa muta inima ah, ac kapri kahp in wheat. Na kahp se luk ah tuyak suwosak nu lucng, a kahp lowos ah raunela kahp se luk ah, ac pasrla nu kac.”
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou, reign, over us, shalt thou, have dominion over us? So they went on yet more to hate him, because of his dreams and because of his words.
Na tamulel wial ah siyuk sel, “Ya kom nunku mu kom ac tokosra ac leum facsr?” Ke ma inge yokelik srunga lalos nu sel liki meet, ke sripen mweme se lal ah, oayapa ke ma el fahk kaclos.
9 Then dreamed he, yet another, dream, and related it to his brethren, and said: —Lo! I have dreamed a dream, yet again, Lo! then, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, were bowing themselves down to me.
Tok Joseph el sifilpa oru sie mweme ac fahk nu sin mwet lel, “Nga oru pac mweme se ac nga liye mu faht ah, malem ah, ac itu singoul sie pasrla nu sik.”
10 So he related it unto his father, and unto his brethren, —and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? Shall we, indeed come in, I, and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow ourselves down to thee to the earth?
El fahkang pac mweme sac nu sin papa tumal, ac papa tumal ah mulat nu sel ac fahk, “Mweme fuka se ingan? Ya kom nunku mu nga, ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom, in tuku epasr nu sum?”
11 Then were his brethren jealous of him, but his father, marked the word.
Tamulel lal Joseph ah kewa elos sok sel, tusruktu papa tumal ah nunku na ma inge nukewa.
12 Now his brethren went their way, —to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Sie len ah ke tamulel lal Joseph elos som tari nu Shechem in liyaung un kosro nutin papa tumalos,
13 So Israel said unto Joseph Are not, thy brethren, feeding the flock in Shechem? Come on! and let me send thee unto them. And he said to him Behold me!
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga lungse kom in som nu Shechem, yen tamulel lom elos liyaung kosro uh we.” Ac Joseph el topuk, “Kwal nga ac som.”
14 So he said to him—Go, I pray thee, look after the welfare of thy brethren, and the welfare of the flock, and bring me back word. And he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came in towards Shechem.
Papa tumal el fahk nu sel, “Fahsrot liye lah tulik wiom an fuka, ac kosro natusr ah fuka, na foloko fahk nu sik.” Ouinge papa tumal ah supwalla, el som liki Infalfal Hebron. Joseph el sun acn Shechem
15 And a man found him, and lo! he was wandering about in the field, so the man asked him saying—What seekest thou?
ac forfor uten acn uh, na mwet se liyalak ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom suk an?”
16 And he said, My brethren, am, I, seeking, —do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.
Ac el fahk, “Nga suk tamulel luk ma muta liyaung un kosro natulos uh. Kom ku in fahk nu sik lah eltal oasr ya?”
17 And the man said, They have broken up from hence, for I heard them saying Let us go our way towards Dothan. So Joseph went after his brethren, and found them, in Dothan.
Ac mwet sac fahk, “Eltal som tari. Nga lohng ke eltal fahk mu eltal ac som nu Dothan.” Ke ma inge Joseph el som tokoltal ac konaltalak Dothan.
18 And they saw him afar off, —and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired against him, to put him to death.
Elos ngetla liyalak ke el fahsr srakna loes nu yorolos, ac meet liki el sonolos elos orek pwapa sulal ac wotela mu elos ac unilya.
19 And they said each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mukul mweme ah pa fahsru ingo.
20 Now, therefore, come! let us slay him and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say A cruel beast, hath devoured him, —And let us see what will become of his dreams.
Akola kut in unilya, ac siselang nu in sie luf inge. Kut fah tuh fahk mu kosro sulallal ah unilya. Kut in liye lah mweme lal ah ac fuka.”
21 And Reuben heard it, and rescued him out of their hand, and said Let us not smite him, so as to take his life!
Reuben el lohng pwapa lalos, ac srike in molella Joseph. El fahk, “Tari kut tia unilya.
22 And Reuben said unto them Do not shed blood! Cast him into this pit, which is in the wilderness, but put not forth, a hand, against him! that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him unto his father.
Kut siselang na nu in sie luf inge, ac tia oru kutena ma nu sel.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el akoo elan molella ac folokunulla nu yurin papa tumal ah.
23 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come in unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his tunic, the long tunic which was upon him,
Ke Joseph el tuku sonolos, elos seya nuknuk oa se lal ma loes pao ah,
24 and took him, and cast him into the pit, but the pit, was empty, there was in it no water.
na elos usalla ac siselang nu in luf se wangin kof loac.
25 And when they had sat down to eat bread, they lifted up their eyes and looked, and lo! a caravan of Ishmaelites, coming in from Gilead, —and, their camels, were bearing tragacanth gum, and balsam and cistus-gum, they were going their way, to take them down to Egypt.
Ke elos mongo, elos ngetla liyauk un mwet Ishmael se su tuku Gilead me in som nu Egypt. Camel natulos us pak pukanten ma sessesla ke mwe akyuye mongo ac ono keng.
26 So Judah said unto his brethren, —What profit that we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Judah el fahk nu sin mwet wial, “Wo fuka se kut ac eis kut fin uniya tamulel se lasr, na tari wikin ma kut oru?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not, our own hand, be upon him, for our own brother, our own flesh, is he And his brethren hearkened.
Kut kukakunulla nu sin mwet Ishmael inge. Fin ange, na kut ac tia enenu in unilya. Saya na, ma wiasr pa el ac kut srah sefanna.” Tamulel lal elos insese nu kac,
28 And there passed by certain Midianites travelling merchants, so they drew forth and uplifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites, for twenty pieces of silver, —and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
ac ke kutu mwet kuka Midian elos fahsryak, na mwet wial Joseph elos amakunulak liki luf sac, ac kukakunulang su sin mwet Ishmael inge ke ipin silver longoul. Na elos usal som nu Egypt.
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit, and lo Joseph was not in the pit, so he rent his clothes;
Ke Reuben el foloko nu ke luf sac ac liyauk lah Joseph el wangin we, el seya nuknuk lal ke asor.
30 and returned unto his brethren, and said, —The, lad, is not! And, I, oh where can I, go?
El folokla nu yurin mwet wial ac fahk, “Tulik sac wanginla in luf sac! Mea nga ac oru uh?”
31 And they took Joseph’s tunic, —and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood;
Na elos uniya nani soko ac twenya nuknuk lal Joseph ah ke srahn nani soko ah.
32 and sent the long tunic and brought it in unto their father, and said This, have we found! Examine, we pray thee, whether it is the tunic of thy son, or not!
Elos usla nuknuk sac nu yurin papa tumalos, ac fahk, “Kut konauk nuknuk se inge. Ya ma lun wen se nutum ah?”
33 So he examined it, and said—The tunic of my son! A cruel beast hath devoured him, —torn in pieces—torn in pieces, is Joseph!
El akilenak ac fahk, “Aok, ma lal! Kalem lah kosro sulallal ah unilya. Joseph, wen nutik, el seseyuki!”
34 And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, —and mourned over his son many days.
Jacob el seya nuknuk lal ke asor, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa. El eoksra ke wen natul ah paht na.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to console him but he refused to be consoled, and said—Surely I will go down unto my son mourning to hades! And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Wen natul nukewa ac acn natul nukewa elos fahsreni nu yorol in srike in akfisrasrye asor lal, tuh el tia ku in kutongya asor lal, ac el fahk, “Nga ac asor na ke tulik se inge nwe ke na nga misa.” Ouinge el asor na kacl Joseph, kulo natul. (Sheol h7585)
36 Now, the Midianites, sold him into Egypt, —to Potiphar courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners.
In pacl sac pacna, mwet Midian elos kukakunulla Joseph in acn Egypt nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lun tokosra lun facl Egypt. El pac pa sifen mwet topang su taran inkul lun tokosra.
