Genesis 37
1 And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land of Canaan.
Men Jakob blev boende i sin Faders Udlændigheds Land, i Kana'ans Land.
2 These - [are] [the] accounts of Jacob Joseph [was] a son of seven-teen year[s] he was shepherding with brothers his the flock and he [was] a youth with [the] sons of Bilhah and with [the] sons of Zilpah [the] wives of father his and he brought Joseph report their bad to father their.
Dette er Jakobs Slægtebog. Da Josef var sytten Aar gammel, vogtede han Smaakvæget sammen med sine Brødre; som Dreng var han hos sin Faders Hustruer Bilhas og Zilpas Sønner, og han bragte ondt Rygte om dem til deres Fader.
3 And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
Israel elskede Josef fremfor alle sine andre Sønner, fordi han var hans Alderdoms Søn, og han lod gøre en fodsid Kjortel med Ærmer til ham.
4 And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.
Men da hans Brødre saa, at deres Fader foretrak ham for alle sine andre Sønner, fattede de Nag til ham og kunde ikke tale venligt til ham.
5 And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
Men Josef havde en Drøm, som han fortalte sine Brødre, og som yderligere øgede deres Had til ham.
6 And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.
Han sagde til dem »Hør dog, hvad jeg har drømt!
7 And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.
Se, vi bandt Neg ude paa Marken, og se, mit Neg rejste sig op og blev staaende, medens eders Neg stod rundt omkring og bøjede sig for det!«
8 And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.
Da sagde hans Brødre til ham: »Vil du maaske være vor Konge eller herske over os?« Og de hadede ham endnu mere for hans Drømme og hans Ord.
9 And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down to me.
Men han havde igen en Drøm, som han fortalte sine Brødre; han sagde: »Jeg har haft en ny Drøm, og se, Sol og Maane og elleve Stjerner bøjede sig for mig!«
10 And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.
Da han fortalte sin Fader og sine Brødre det, skændte hans Fader paa ham og sagde: »Hvad er det for en Drøm, du der har haft Skal virkelig jeg, din Moder og dine Brødre komme og bøje os til Jorden for dig?«
11 And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
Og hans Brødre fattede Avind til ham, men hans Fader gemte det i sit Minde.
12 And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.
Da hans Brødre engang var gaaet hen for at vogte deres Faders Smaakvæg ved Sikem,
13 And he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.
sagde Israel til Josef: »Dine Brødre vogter jo Kvæg ved Sikem; kom, jeg vil sende dig til dem!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«
14 And he said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.
Saa sagde Israel til ham: »Gaa hen og se, hvorledes det staar til med dine Brødre og Kvæget, og bring mig Bud tilbage!« Israel sendte ham saa af Sted fra Hebrons Dal, og han kom til Sikem.
15 And he found him a man and there! [he was] wandering in the open country and he asked him the man saying what? are you seeking.
Som han nu flakkede om paa Marken, var der en Mand, som traf ham og spurgte: »Hvad søger du efter?«
16 And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
Han svarede: »Efter mine Brødre; sig mig, hvor de vogter deres Kvæg!«
17 And he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.
Da sagde Manden: »De er draget bort herfra, thi jeg hørte dem sige: Lad os gaa til Dotan!« Saa gik Josef efter sine Brødre og fandt dem i Dotan.
18 And they saw him from a distance and just before he drew near to them and they dealt deceptively with him to kill him.
Men da de saa ham langt borte, før han endnu var kommet hen til dem, lagde de Raad op om at dræbe ham
19 And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
og sagde til hverandre: »Se, der kommer den Drømmemester!
20 And now - come and let us kill him and let us throw him in one of the pits and we will say an animal wild it has eaten him and we may see what? will be dreams his.
Kom, lad os slaa ham ihjel og kaste ham i en Cisterne og sige, at et vildt Dyr har ædt ham; saa skal vi se, hvad der kommer ud af hans Drømme!«
21 And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.
Men da Ruben hørte det, vilde han redde ham af deres Haand og sagde: »Lad os ikke tage hans Liv!«
22 And he said to them - Reuben may not you shed blood throw him into the pit this which [is] in the wilderness and a hand may not you stretch out on him so as to rescue him from hand their to restore him to father his.
Og Ruben sagde til dem: »Udgyd dog ikke Blod! Kast ham i Cisternen her paa Marken, men læg ikke Haand paa ham!« Han vilde nemlig redde ham af deres Haand og bringe ham tilbage til Faderen.
23 And it was just when he came Joseph to brothers his and they stripped Joseph long garment his [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on him.
Da Josef nu kom hen til sine Brødre, rev de hans Kjortel af ham, Ærmekjortelen, han havde paa,
24 And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.
tog ham og kastede ham i Cisternen; men Cisternen var tom, der var intet Vand i den.
25 And they sat down to eat bread and they lifted up eyes their and they saw and there! a caravan of Ishmaelites [was] coming from Gilead and camels their [were] carrying spice and balm and myrrh traveling to take [them] down Egypt towards.
Derpaa satte de sig til at holde Maaltid. Og da de saa op, fik de Øje paa en Karavane af Ismaeliter, der kom fra Gilead, og deres Kameler var belæssede med Tragakantgummi, Mastiksbalsam og Cistusharpiks, som de var paa Vej til Ægypten med.
26 And he said Judah to brothers his what? [is the] profit if we will kill brother our and we will conceal blood his.
Saa sagde Juda til sine Brødre: »Hvad vinder vi ved at slaa vor Broder ihjel og skjule Mordet?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and hand our may not it be on him for [is] brother our flesh our he and they listened brothers his.
Lad os hellere sælge ham til Ismaeliterne og ikke lægge Haand paa ham; han er jo dog vor Broder, vort Kød og Blod!« Og hans Brødre gik ind paa Forslaget.
28 And they passed by men Midianite[s] traders and they drew and they brought up Joseph from the pit and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver and they brought Joseph Egypt towards.
Da nu midjanitiske Købmænd kom der forbi, trak de Josef op af Cisternen. Og de solgte Josef til Ismaeliterne for tyve Sekel Sølv, og disse bragte ham saa til Ægypten.
29 And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.
Da Ruben nu kom tilbage til Cisternen, se, da var Josef der ikke. Saa sønderrev han sine Klæder
30 And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.
og gik tilbage til sine Brødre og sagde: »Drengen er borte! Hvad skal jeg dog gøre!«
31 And they took [the] long garment of Joseph and they slaughtered a male goat of goats and they dipped the long garment in the blood.
Saa tog de Josefs Kjortel og dyppede den i Blodet af en Gedebuk, som de slagtede;
32 And they sent [the] long garment of the palms and soles and they brought [it] to father their and they said this we have found investigate please ¿ [the] long garment of son your [is] it or? not.
og de sendte Ærmekjortelen hjem til deres Fader med det Bud: »Den har vi fundet se efter, om det ikke er din Søns Kjortel!«
33 And he recognized it and he said [it is] [the] long garment of son my an animal wild it has eaten him certainly he has been torn to pieces Joseph.
Da saa han efter og udbrød: »Det er min Søns Kjortel! Et vildt Dyr har ædt ham! Josef er visselig revet ihjel!«
34 And he tore Jacob clothes his and he put sackcloth on loins his and he mourned on son his days many.
Saa sønderrev Jakob sine Klæder og bandt Sæk om sine Lænder, og han sørgede over sin Søn i mange Dage.
35 And they arose all sons his and all daughters his to comfort him and he refused to be comforted and he said that I will go down to son my mourning Sheol towards and he wept for him father his. (Sheol h7585)
Og skønt alle hans Sønner og Døtre kom til ham for at trøste ham, vilde han ikke lade sig trøste, men sagde: »Nej, i min Sørgedragt vil jeg stige ned til min Søn i Dødsriget!« Og hans Fader begræd ham. (Sheol h7585)
36 (And the Medanites *L(E)*) they sold him into Egypt to Potiphar an official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards.
Men Midjaniterne solgte ham I Ægypten til Faraos Hofmand Potifar, Livvagtens Øverste.
