Genesis 37
1 Jacob continued to live in the Canaan region where his father had lived previously.
Yaqub atasının qərib olduğu Kənan torpağında yaşadı.
2 (This is/I will now tell you) what happened to Jacob’s family. When his son Joseph was 17 years old, he was taking care of the flocks of sheep and goats with some of his older brothers. They were sons of his father’s (concubines/female slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives). Joseph sometimes told his father about bad things that his brothers were doing.
Yaqubun tarixçəsi belədir. Yusif on yeddi yaşında bir gənc idi. O öz qardaşları – atasının arvadları Bilhanın və Zilpanın oğulları ilə birlikdə sürü otarırdı. Yusif onların pis işləri barədə xəbərləri atasına çatdırırdı.
3 Jacob loved Joseph more than he loved any of his other children, because Joseph had been born when Jacob was an old man. Jacob made for Joseph a long pretty robe that had long sleeves.
İsrail Yusifi bütün oğullarından çox sevirdi, çünki Yusif onun qocalıq çağının oğlu idi. O, Yusifə əlvan paltar tikdirdi.
4 When Joseph’s older brothers realized that their father loved him more than he loved any of them, they hated him. They never spoke kindly to him.
Qardaşları gördülər ki, ataları onlardan çox Yusifi sevir. Buna görə də ona nifrət etdilər və onunla yaxşı rəftar etmədilər.
5 One night Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about the dream.
Bir dəfə Yusif yuxu gördü və onu qardaşlarına danışdı. Bundan sonra ona daha çox nifrət etməyə başladılar.
6 He said to them, “Listen to the dream I had!
Yusif onlara dedi: «Gördüyüm bu yuxuya qulaq asın:
7 In the dream, we were tying up bundles of wheat in the field. Suddenly my bundle stood up straight, and surprisingly, your bundles gathered around my bundle and bowed down to it!”
biz zəminin ortasında dərz bağlayırdıq; mənim dərzim qalxıb dik durdu, sizin dərzləriniz isə mənim dərzimi əhatəyə alıb ona təzim etdilər».
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you think that some day you will rule over us? Are you [saying that some day] you are going to be our king?” [RHQ] They hated him even more than before because of what he had told them about his dream.
Qardaşları ona dedilər: «Doğrudanmı, sən bizə padşah olacaqsan, hökmranlıq edəcəksən?» Onlar yuxularına və sözlərinə görə Yusifə daha çox nifrət etdilər.
9 Later he had another dream, and again he told his older brothers about it. He said, “Listen to this! I had another dream. In this dream, the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me!”
Yusif başqa bir yuxu gördü və onu qardaşlarına danışıb dedi: «Yenə bir yuxu gördüm; gördüm ki, günəş, ay və on bir ulduz mənə təzim edir».
10 He also told his father about it. His father rebuked him, saying “What are you suggesting by that dream [RHQ]? Do you think it means that your mother and I and your older brothers will some day bow down to the ground in front of you?” [RHQ]
O, yuxusunu atasına və qardaşlarına danışanda atası onu danlayıb dedi: «Bu gördüyün yuxu nə deməkdir? Doğrudanmı, mən, anan və qardaşların yerə əyilib sənə təzim etmək üçün gələcəyik?»
11 Joseph’s older brothers were furious/angry with him, but his father just kept thinking about what the dream meant.
Qardaşları ona paxıllıq etdilər, atası isə bu sözü yadda saxladı.
12 One day Joseph’s older brothers went to take care of their father’s sheep and goats that were eating grass near Shechem.
Bir gün Yusifin qardaşları atalarının sürüsünü otarmaq üçün Şekemə getdilər.
13 Some time later, Jacob said to Joseph, “Your brothers are taking care of the sheep and goats near Shechem [RHQ]. I am going to send you there to see them.” Joseph replied, “Okay.”
İsrail Yusifə dedi: «Qardaşların Şekemdə sürü otarırlar. Gəl səni də onların yanına göndərim». O, atasına dedi: «Getməyə hazıram».
14 Jacob said, “Go and see if they are doing okay, and if the flocks are doing okay. Then come back and give me a report.” So Jacob sent Joseph from [the valley where they were living], the valley where Hebron is located, [to go north] to find his brothers. When Joseph arrived near Shechem [city],
İsrail yenə ona dedi: «Get bax, qardaşların yaxşıdırmı, sürü salamatdırmı? Sonra mənə xəbər gətir». Beləcə onu Xevron vadisindən yola saldı. Yusif gəlib Şekemə çatdı.
15 while he was wandering around in the fields looking/searching for his brothers, a man saw him and asked him, “Whom are you looking/searching for?”
Çöldə dolaşarkən bir nəfər ona rast gəldi. Bu adam «Nə axtarırsan?» deyə ondan soruşdu.
16 Joseph replied, “I am looking for my older brothers. Can you tell me where they are taking care of their sheep and goats?”
O dedi: «Mən qardaşlarımı axtarıram. Mənə de görüm, onlar sürünü harada otarırlar?»
17 The man replied, “They are not here any more. I heard one of them saying, ‘Let’s take the sheep and goats and go to Dothan [town].’” So Joseph left there and went north, and found his older brothers near Dothan.
Bu adam dedi: «Buradan getdilər, çünki mən onların “Dotana gedək” sözlərini eşitdim». Yusif qardaşlarının dalınca düşdü və onları Dotanda tapdı.
18 But they saw him when he was still far away, and they decided to kill him.
Qardaşları onu uzaqdan gördülər. Yusif onların yanına çatmamış onu öldürmək qərarına gəldilər.
19 They said to each other [things like], “Here comes that dreamer!”
Qardaşlar bir-birlərinə dedilər: «Baxın, bu yuxular görən gəlir.
20 and “Hey, let’s kill him, and then throw his body into one of the pits/cisterns. Then we will tell people that a ferocious/wild animal attacked and killed him and ate him. And then we will (find out whether his dreams come true/make sure that his dreams do not come true)!”
İndi gəlin onu öldürüb bir quyuya ataq, sonra da deyək ki, vəhşi heyvan onu parçaladı. Onda görərik, yuxuları necə çin çıxır».
21 Reuben heard what they were saying, so he tried to persuade them not to kill [MTY] Joseph. He said, “No, we should not kill him.
Ruven bunu eşidib Yusifi onların əlindən qurtarmaq üçün dedi: «Gəlin ona toxunmayaq».
22 Do not even shed his blood! We can throw him into this pit/cistern in the desert, but we should not harm him [MTY].” He said that, and then left them, planning to rescue Joseph later and take him back to his father.
Ruven onlara «qan tökməyin, onu çöldə olan bu quyuya atın, ancaq ona toxunmayın» dedi. Bunu ona görə deyirdi ki, Yusifi qardaşlarının əlindən qurtarıb atasının yanına qaytarsın.
23 So when Joseph arrived where his older brothers were, they seized him and ripped off his pretty robe with long sleeves.
Yusif qardaşlarının yanına çatanda onlar Yusifin əyninə geydiyi alabəzək paltarı dartıb çıxartdılar.
24 Then they took him and threw him into the pit/cistern. But the pit/cistern was dry; there was no water in it.
Özünü də götürüb quyuya atdılar. Quyu boş idi, orada su yox idi.
25 After they sat down to eat some food, they looked up and saw a (caravan/group [of traders]), descendants of Ishmael, coming from the Gilead area. Their camels were loaded with bags of spices and nice-smelling resins. They were going down to Egypt to sell those things there.
Qardaşlar çörək yemək üçün oturdular. Onlar başlarını qaldıranda gördülər ki, Gileaddan İsmaillilərin bir karvanı gəlir. Onların dəvələri ədviyyat, balzam və ətriyyatla yüklənmişdi və bunları Misirə aparırdılar.
26 Judah said to his [older and younger] brothers, “If we kill our younger brother and hide his body, (what will we gain?/we will not gain anything!) [RHQ]
Yəhuda qardaşlarına dedi: «Əgər qardaşımızı öldürüb qətli ört-basdır etsək, bunun nə xeyri olar?
27 So, instead of harming him, let’s sell him to these men who are descendants of Ishmael. Don’t forget, he is our own younger brother!” So they all agreed to do that.
Gəlin onu İsmaillilərə sataq və ona toxunmayaq, çünki qardaşımızdır, biz eyni qandanıq». Qardaşları onun sözü ilə razılaşdılar.
28 When those traders from the Midian area came near, Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the pit/cistern. Then they sold him to the men from Midian for 20 pieces of silver. The traders then took Joseph to Egypt.
Oradan Midyan tacirləri keçəndə Yusifi quyudan çıxarıb İsmaillilərə iyirmi gümüşə satdılar. Onlar da Yusifi Misirə apardılar.
29 When Reuben returned to the pit/cistern, he saw that his younger brother was not there. He was so grieved that he tore his clothes.
Ruven quyuya tərəf qayıdıb gördü ki, Yusif orada yoxdur. O, paltarını cırdı.
30 He went back to his [younger] brothers and said, “The boy is not in the pit/cistern! What can I do now?” [RHQ]
Sonra qardaşlarının yanına qayıdıb dedi: «Uşaq yoxdur, bəs mən nə edim?»
31 [Joseph’s brothers did not dare to tell their father what they had done. So, they decided to invent a story about what had happened]. They got Joseph’s robe. Then they killed a goat and dipped the robe in the goat’s blood.
Onlar Yusifin paltarını götürdülər və bir keçi kəsib paltarı qana batırdılar.
32 They took that pretty robe back to their father and said, “We found this robe! Look at it. Is it your son’s robe?”
Sonra qardaşlar bu əlvan paltarı götürüb atalarına gətirdilər və dedilər: «Biz bunu tapdıq: gör, oğlunun paltarıdır ya yox?»
33 He recognized it, and he said, “Yes, it is my son’s robe! Some ferocious/wild animal must have attacked and killed him! I am sure that the animal has torn Joseph to pieces!”
O, paltarı tanıyıb dedi: «Bu, oğlumun paltarıdır; yəqin onu vəhşi bir heyvan yeyib. Həqiqətən, Yusif parçalanıb».
34 Jacob was so grieved that he tore his clothes. He put on (sackcloth/clothes that people wear when they are mourning for someone who has died). He mourned/cried for his son for many days.
Yaqub öz paltarını cırdı və belinə çul bağladı; o uzun müddət oğlu üçün yas tutdu.
35 All of his children came to try to comfort him, but he did not pay attention to what they said. He said, “No, I will still be mourning/crying when I die and go to be with my son.” So Joseph’s father continued to cry because of what had happened to his son. (Sheol h7585)
Bütün oğulları və qızları ona təsəlli vermək üçün yığışdı, ancaq o təsəlli tapmaq istəməyib dedi: «Kədərlə oğlumun yanına – ölülər diyarına enəcəyəm». Beləcə atası onun üçün ağladı. (Sheol h7585)
36 In the meantime, the men/traders from Midian took Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, who was one of the king’s officials. He was the captain of the soldiers who protected the king.
Midyanlılar isə Yusifi Misirdə fironun bir əyanı olan mühafizəçilər rəisi Potifara satdılar.
