Genesis 37
1 And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land of Canaan.
Jakobho akagara munyika yakanga yambogarwa nababa vake, iyo nyika yeKenani.
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.
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yaJakobho. Josefa jaya ramakore gumi namanomwe, akanga achifudza makwai pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, vanakomana vaBhiriha navanakomana vaZiripa, vakadzi vababa vake, uye akauya namashoko akaipa kuna baba vavo pamusoro pavo.
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.
Zvino Israeri akanga achida Josefa kupfuura vamwe vavanakomana vake, nokuti akanga aberekwa panguva youtana hwake; uye akamuitira nguo yakaisvonaka.
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.
Madzikoma ake akati aona kuti baba vavo vaimuda kupfuura ani zvake pakati pavo, vakamuvenga uye vakasagona kutaura naye mashoko akanaka.
5 And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
Josefa akarota hope, uye paakaudza madzikoma ake izvozvo, vakanyanya kumuvenga.
6 And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.
Akati kwavari, “Inzwai hope dzandakarota idzi:
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.
Takanga tichisunga zvisote zvezviyo kumunda onei pakarepo chisote changu chakasimuka chikamira chakati twi, asi zvisote zvenyu zvakaungana zvakapoteredza changu uye zvikakotama kwachiri.”
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.
Madzikoma ake akati kwaari, “Ko, iwe unoda kutitonga here? Ko, zvirokwazvo uchatitonga here iwe?” Uye vakanyanyisa kumuvenga nokuda kwokurota kwake uye nokuda kwezvaakanga ataura.
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.
Ipapo akarotazve dzimwe hope, uye akadzitaura kumadzikoma ake. Akati, “Inzwai, ndarota dzimwe hope, uye panguva iyi zuva nomwedzi nenyeredzi gumi neimwe zvanga zvichindipfugamira.”
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.
Paakaudza baba vake pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, baba vake vakamutsiura vakati, “Kurotai kwawakaita uku? Ko, mai vako neni namadzikoma ako tichauya kuzokupfugamira here iwe zvirokwazvo?”
11 And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
Madzikoma ake akamuitira godo, asi baba vake vakazvichengeta mumwoyo mavo.
12 And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.
Zvino madzikoma ake akanga abuda kundofudza makwai ababa vavo pedyo neShekemu,
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.
uye Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvaunoziva, madzikoma ako ari kufudza makwai pedyo neShekemu. Uya, ndikutume kwavari.” Iye akati, “Zvakanaka.”
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.
Saka akati kwaari, “Enda undoona kana zvinhu zvakanaka kumadzikoma ako nezvipfuwo, ugodzoka kwandiri neshoko.” Ipapo akamutuma achibva napaMupata weHebhuroni. Josefa akati asvika kuShekemu,
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.
mumwe murume akamuwana achidzungaira musango akamubvunza akati, “Uri kutsvakeiko?”
16 And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
Akapindura akati, “Ndiri kutsvaka madzikoma angu. Mungandiudzawo kwavanofudzira makwai avo here?”
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.
Murume uya akati, “Vabva pano, ndavanzwa vachiti, ‘Ngatiendei kuDhotani.’” Saka Josefa akatevera madzikoma ake akandovawana pedyo neDhotani.
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.
Asi vakamuona achiri kure, asati asvika kwavari, vakarangana kumuuraya.
19 And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
Vakataurirana vachiti, “Hoyo muroti uya ouya!
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.
Uyai zvino timuuraye tigomukanda mune rimwe ramatsime aya tigoti akadyiwa nechikara. Ipapo tichazoona zvinobva pakurota kwake.”
21 And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.
Rubheni akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kumununura kubva mumaoko avo. Akati, “Ngatiregei kumuuraya.
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.
Regai kuteura ropa. Mukandei mutsime iri muno mugwenga, asi regai kutambanudza maoko enyu paari.” Rubheni akareva izvozvi kuti amununure kwavari uye kuti agomudzosera kuna baba vake.
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.
Saka Josefa akati asvika kumadzikoma ake, vakamubvisa nguo yake, iyo nguo iya yakanga yakaisvonaka, yaiva nemavara-mavara yaakanga akapfeka,
24 And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.
uye vakamutora vakamukanda mutsime. Zvino tsime rakanga rapwa risina mvura.
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.
Pavakagara kuti vadye zvokudya zvavo, vakasimudza meso avo vakaona ngoro dzavaIshumaeri dzichibva kuGireadhi. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzakatakura zvinonhuhwira, bharimu nemura, uye vakanga vachienda nazvo kuIjipiti.
26 And he said Judah to brothers his what? [is the] profit if we will kill brother our and we will conceal blood his.
Judha akati kuhama dzake, “Tichawaneiko kana tikauraya mununʼuna wedu tikafushira ropa rake?
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.
Uyai, ngatimutengesei kuvaIshumaeri ava tirege kutambanudza maoko edu paari; pamusoro pezvo iye mununʼuna wedu, nyama yedu neropa redu.” Madzikoma ake akatenderana.
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.
Saka vashambadziri veMidhiani vakati vasvika, madzikoma ake akabudisa Josefa kubva mutsime vakamutengesa kuvaIshumaeri namashekeri makumi maviri esirivha, ivo vakaenda naye kuIjipiti.
29 And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.
Rubheni paakadzokera kutsime uye akawana Josefa asisimo akabvarura nguo dzake.
30 And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.
Akadzokerazve kuvanunʼuna vake akati, “Mukomana haasisimo! Zvino ndichaendepiko?”
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.
Ipapo vakatora nguo yaJosefa, vakauraya mbudzi ndokunyika nguo iya muropa.
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.
Vakatora nguo iya yakaisvonaka vakaenda nayo kuna baba vavo vakati, “Takanonga ichi. Cherechedzai muone kana ingava nguo yomwanakomana wenyu here.”
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.
Akaiziva akati, “Inguo yomwanakomana wangu! Zvimwe zvikara zvesango zvamudya. Zvirokwazvo Josefa akabvamburwa-bvamburwa.”
34 And he tore Jacob clothes his and he put sackcloth on loins his and he mourned on son his days many.
Ipapo Jakobho akabvarura nguo dzake, akapfeka nguo dzamasaga akachema mwanakomana wake kwamazuva mazhinji.
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)
Vanakomana vake navanasikana vake vose vakauya kuzomunyaradza, asi akaramba kunyaradzwa. Akati, “Kwete, ndichaburuka kuguva ndichichema mwanakomana wangu.” Saka baba vake vakamuchema. (Sheol h7585)
36 (And the Medanites *L(E)*) they sold him into Egypt to Potiphar an official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards.
Zvichakadaro, vaMidhiani vakatengesa Josefa muIjipiti kuna Potifa mumwe wavabati vaFaro, mukuru wavarindi.
