Genesis 37
1 So Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, —in the land of Canaan.
Ia, Yakob se dudꞌui na. Leleꞌ naa, Yakob neu leo baliꞌ sia rae Kanaꞌan, fo maꞌahulu na, aman Isak mamana leleon.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, Yakob anan esa mia sao na Rahel, naran Yusuf. Ana too sanahulu hitu ma, no aꞌa nara reu ranea hiek-lombo ra. Aꞌa nara, anaꞌ mia Yakob sao nara, Bilha ma Silpa. Te Yusuf ia, mana nendi-nendiꞌ dedꞌeat fee ama na, soꞌal aꞌa nara.
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.
Bonggi Yusuf te, Yakob lasiꞌ ena. Naa de ana sue Yusuf lenaꞌ ana na laen ra. Lao esa, Yakob soo badꞌu naru meulauꞌ esa, fee Yusuf.
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,
Aꞌa nara rahine ama na sue Yusuf lenaꞌ, de ramanasa e seli. Ara nda nau ola-olaꞌ malolole ro e sa ena.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they went on yet more to hate him.
Tetembaꞌ esa ma, Yusuf nalamein. De nafadꞌe meit naa neu aꞌa nara nae, “We! Hei rena dei! Au ulumein ae basa nggita paꞌa are-nggandum sia osi rala. Au are ngga nambariiꞌ ndos. Te hei are mara rambariiꞌ nduleꞌ au are ngga, ma beꞌutee neu are ngga.” Aꞌa nara rena rala ma, ramanasa e.
6 And he said unto them, Hear ye I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
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.
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.
Boe ma ara ai Yusuf rae, “Woi! Mbei ma ho mae dadꞌi hai malangga mana parenda ma, do?” Ara ramanasa e seli, huu nafadꞌe meit naa.
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.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf nalamein seluꞌ fai. De ana nafadꞌe aꞌa nara nae, “We! Au ulumein fai. Au ita relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ sanahulu esa. Basa se beꞌutee malolole neu au.”
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?
Yusuf dui basa meit naa neu aman no aꞌa nara ma, aman ai e nae, “Meit saa ka naa! Ho duꞌa mae au, o inam, ma aꞌa mara ima idꞌu ei ma, do? Ho seli, ma!”
11 Then were his brethren jealous of him, but his father, marked the word.
De Yusuf aꞌa nara rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ ro e. Te aman dudꞌuꞌa meit naa nakandooꞌ a.
12 Now his brethren went their way, —to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Faiꞌ esa ma, Yusuf aꞌa nara rendi ama na hiek-lombo nara losa deka no kambo Sikem.
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!
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ama na nae, “Yusuf e! Aꞌa mara ranea hiek-lombo deka no Sikem. De muote fo muu seꞌu se dei.” Yusuf nataa nae, “Malole amaꞌ.”
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.
Boe ma ama na nae, “Muu dei, fo seꞌu aꞌa mara ro hiek-lombo nggara. Ara ona bee naa, baliꞌ mufadꞌe au.” Boe ma, Yusuf lao hela rae Hebron moo na, de nakandoo Sikem neu.
15 And a man found him, and lo! he was wandering about in the field, so the man asked him saying—What seekest thou?
Losa naa, de sangga se ndule mooꞌ a. Basa ma, nandaa no atahori esa. De atahori naa natane e nae, “Ho sangga saa?’.
16 And he said, My brethren, am, I, seeking, —do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.
Yusuf nataa nae, “Toꞌo. Au sangga aꞌa nggara. Ara mboo hiek-lombo sangga uru deka-deka ia. Toꞌo nita se boe, do?”
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.
Nafadꞌe nae, “Ara nda sia ia sa. Oi rae reu sia deka-deka kambo Dotan.” Boe ma, Yusuf neu tungga aꞌa nara, losa nita se sia Dotan.
18 And they saw him afar off, —and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired against him, to put him to death.
Yusuf feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ, te ara rita e ena. Boe ma ara maꞌiraꞌ rae tao risa e.
19 And they said each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
Esa nafadꞌe esa nae, “Mete dei. Malangga meit a nema ena!
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.
Ata tao tisa e leo, do? Basa fo honda hendiꞌ e nisiꞌ oe mates rala neu. Dei fo tafadꞌe amaꞌ tae banda fui ra raa hendi e. Basa fo ata mete meit nara, taꞌo bee!”
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!
Rena nala naa ma, aꞌa Ruben na sangga dalaꞌ fo nae fee ne nasodꞌa. De ana ai odꞌi nara nae, “We! Ata afiꞌ tao tisa e!
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.
Malole lenaꞌ ata tumbuꞌ e nisiꞌ oe mates ia rala. Sia ia mamana maꞌabambiꞌ, de atahori nda rahine sa. Sadꞌi afiꞌ tasaiꞌ raa na.” Ana olaꞌ taꞌo naa, huu ana nae mboꞌi Yusuf, fo denu e baliꞌ.
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,
Yusuf losa boe ma, aꞌa nara toꞌu rala e, de sidꞌa hendi badꞌu naru meulau na.
24 and took him, and cast him into the pit, but the pit, was empty, there was in it no water.
Basa ma, ara lea dudꞌui e, de timba e oe mates rala neu.
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.
Basa boe ma ara baliꞌ reu raa. Ara feꞌe raa, aiboiꞌ ma, rita nononggoꞌ esa nema. Nononggoꞌ naa, banda onta nara fua bua danggan, onaꞌ hau maꞌameniꞌ, bumbu-bumbu, ma modꞌo mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Tao-tao te nononggoꞌ naa atahori Ismael mia kambo Gilead rae laoꞌ dooꞌ reu sia Masir.
26 So Judah said unto his brethren, —What profit that we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Basa ma, Yahuda nafadꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa nara nae, “Weh! Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia. Afiꞌ tisa e. Hita hambu saa, boe? Mae ona bee o, nda taꞌafuniꞌ tala raa na sa.
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.
Malole lenaꞌ seo hendiꞌ e neu atahori Ismael ra. Mae tao taꞌo bee mbali e o, eni, hita odꞌi bꞌonggi na. De afiꞌ taꞌahinaꞌ e!” Boe ma, basa se tungga oꞌola na.
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.
Basa naa ma, nandaa no atahori mana danggan naa ra tungga naa, Yusuf aꞌa nara lea e mia oe rala. De ara seo e neu atahori Ismael ra, no feli na doi fulaꞌ rua nulu. Basa ma, ara rendi Yusuf Masir neu.
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit, and lo Joseph was not in the pit, so he rent his clothes;
Ara seo Yusuf, te Ruben nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa. Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ oe mataꞌ a neu, ana nggengger nala seli, huu Yusuf nese ena. De ana sisidꞌa bua na sia ao na, huu ralan susa nala seli.
30 and returned unto his brethren, and said, —The, lad, is not! And, I, oh where can I, go?
Boe ma ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ odꞌi nara nae, “Aweee! Anaꞌ a nese ia ena. Ia naa, au ae tao taꞌo bee fai?”
31 And they took Joseph’s tunic, —and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood;
Basa ma ara hala hiek esa, de haꞌi Yusuf badꞌu meulau na, de boroꞌ e neu raaꞌ.
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!
Haꞌi rala badꞌu fo akaꞌ raaꞌ naa, de rendi fee ama na, ma rafadꞌe rae, “Amaꞌ! Hai here mala badꞌu ia. Mete sobꞌa. Afiꞌ losa odꞌi Yusuf ena na.”
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!
Yakob mete badꞌu a ma, nahine neuꞌ ena. Nataa nae, “Aweee! Memaꞌ ia au ana ngga badꞌu na. Mitaꞌ mae banda fui ra raa e sia bee ena. Aweee! Au ana ngga mate ena!”
34 And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, —and mourned over his son many days.
Basa naa ma, Yakob sisidꞌa badꞌu na, de olu karon abas, huu ana susa nala seli. Boe ma ana nggaee nakandondooꞌ a anan doo na seli.
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)
Basa ana touꞌ ma ana ina nara rema radadale, te nda rala e sa. Ana nae, “Hokoꞌ! Au susa losa mate. Au nda bisa liliiꞌ anaꞌ ia sa.” De Yakob susa nakandooꞌ a, huu nasanedꞌa anan Yusuf mana mateꞌ a. (Sheol h7585)
36 Now, the Midianites, sold him into Egypt, —to Potiphar courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners.
Leleꞌ Yakob feꞌe susa taꞌo naa, te atahori danggan naa ra losa Masir ena. De reu seo Yusuf neu malangga esa, naran Potifar. Eni, mane Masir a malangga nanea na.
