Genesis 37
1 So Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, —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, 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.
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 any of his sons, because he was to him, the son of his old age, and he had made him, a long tunic.
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 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,
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 told it to his brethren, and they went on yet 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 said unto them, Hear ye 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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?
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 Then were his brethren jealous of him, but his father, marked the word.
Na ka hae ona tuakana ki a ia; ko tona papa ia i mahara ki te kupu.
12 Now his brethren went their way, —to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Na ka haere ona tuakana ki te whangai i nga hipi a to ratou papa i Hekeme.
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!
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 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.
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 found him, and lo! he was wandering about in the field, so 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, My brethren, am, I, seeking, —do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.
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 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.
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 saw him afar off, —and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired 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 said each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, ko te moemoea tenei te haere mai nai.
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.
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 heard it, and rescued him out of their hand, and said Let us not smite him, so as to take his 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 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.
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 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,
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 took him, and cast him into the pit, but the pit, was empty, there was in it no water.
A mauria ana ia, maka ana e ratou ki te poka: he tuwhera kau ano te poka, kahore he wai o roto.
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.
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 So Judah said unto his brethren, —What profit that 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 not, our own hand, be upon him, for our own brother, our own flesh, is he And his brethren hearkened.
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 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.
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 returned unto the pit, and lo Joseph was not in the pit, so 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 returned unto his brethren, and said, —The, lad, is not! And, I, oh where can 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 tunic, —and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the tunic 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 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!
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 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!
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 garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, —and mourned over 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 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)
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 Now, the Midianites, sold him into Egypt, —to Potiphar courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal 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.
