Genesis 37
1 Jacob lived in the land where his father was staying, in the land of Canaan.
Nitoetse an-tane Kanàne nañialoan-drae’e ao t’Iakòbe.
2 These were the events concerning Jacob. Joseph, who was a young man seventeen years old, was guarding the flock with his brothers. He was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought an unfavorable report about them to their father.
Ie ty talili’ ty hasavereña’ Iakòbe. Ie nifolo-tao-fito-amby t’Iosefe le niarake añondry mindre amo rahalahi’eo, ie mbe niajalahy naho nindre amo ana’ i Bilhae naho amo ana’ i Zilpae, valin-drae’eo, vaho ninday talily raty iareo aman-drae’e añe t’Iosefe.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was the son of his old age. He made him a beautiful garment.
Nikokoa’ Israele mandikoatse o ana’e iabio t’Iosefe, amy t’ie ty ana’ i haantera’ey vaho namboara’e saroñe lava soa vahotse.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. They hated him and would not speak kindly to him.
Ie nioni’ o rahalahi’eo te nisohen-drae’e mandikoatse iareo le nalaim-bintañe aze vaho tsy nahafirehak’ am-panintsiñañe ama’e.
5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told his brothers about it. They hated him even more.
Teo te nañinofy t’Iosefe, le natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo, f’ie nañìndra ty falai’ iareo aze.
6 He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I dreamed.
Hoe ty asa’e ama’e, Ehe janjiño ty nofy ninofiseko toy.
7 Behold, we were tying bundles of grain in the field and behold, my bundle rose and stood upright, and behold, your bundles came around and bowed down to my bundle.”
Teo tika namehe taho an-tetek’ ao. Nitroatse amy zao i fehekoy le niadaoro eo, le ingo niariseho ahy ey ty fehe’ areo nibokok’ amy fehe-tahokoy.
8 His brothers said to him, “Will you really reign over us? Will you actually rule over us?” They hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Hoe o rahalahi’eo ama’e, Toe ihe hao ty hamelek’ anay? Vata’e hifehe anay v’iheo? Aa le niindra ty falaim-binta’ iareo ty amo nofi’eo naho o asa’eo.
9 He dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers. He said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream: The sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
Nañinofy indraike, vaho natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo. Inao ty nofiko tovo’e: naheoko te nibotrek’ amako i àndroy, i volañey vaho ty vasiañe folo raik’amby.
10 He told it to his father just as to his brothers, and his father rebuked him. He said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground to you?”
Aa ie natalili’e aman-drae’e naho amo rahalahi’eo le nañendak’ aze ty rae’e ami’ty hoe: Nofy manao akore o nofise’oo? Toe hene hidrakadrakak’ an-tane ama’o hao zahay naho i rene’o vaho o rahalahi’oo?
11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
Aa le nitsikirìk’ aze o rahalahi’eo, fe nitsakorèn-drae’e i asa’ey.
12 His brothers went to tend their father's flock in Shechem.
Nañavelo mb’e Sikeme añe o rahalahi’eo hampiandrazeñe i lia-rain-drae’ey.
13 Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers tending the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” Joseph said to him, “I am ready.”
Le hoe t’Israele am’Iosefe, Tsy miarake i lia-raikey e Sikeme añe hao o rahalahi’oo? Antao arè, hiraheko mb’am’iereo mb’eo. Tinoi’e ty hoe, Intoy iraho.
14 He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and bring me word.” So Jacob sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and Joseph went to Shechem.
Aa le hoe re ama’e, Akia, sario ke mbe soa avao iereo naho mbe soa ka o mpirai-liao; le mibaliha mb’amako mb’etoa aman-talily. Aa le nampihitrife’e mb’eo boak’ am-bavatane’ i Khebrone ao mb’e Sikeme mb’eo,
15 A certain man found Joseph. Behold, Joseph was wandering in a field. The man asked him, “What do you seek?”
le teo ty ondaty nanjo aze nirererere an-kivok’ ey, vaho nañontanea’ indatiy, Ino ty paia’o.
16 Joseph said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are tending the flock.”
Mipay o rahalahikoo ‘ni-raho, hoe re, Ehe, ampahafohino ahy ty fiandraza’ iareo añondry.
17 The man said, “They left this place, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'” Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Hoe indatiy, Fa nienga iereo, Inao ty tsinanoko am’ iereo, Antao ho mb’e Dotane mb’eo. Aa le nihitrike mb’ amo rahalahi’eo re vaho tendrek’ am’iereo e Dotane añe.
18 They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they plotted against him to kill him.
Nitalakese’ iereo, le ie mbe tsy marine ro nikilily hañohofan-doza ama’e.
19 His brothers said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is approaching.
Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Hehe, mb’etoa i mpañinofiy,
20 Come now, therefore, let us kill him and cast him into one of the pits. We will say, 'A wild animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams.”
antao arè hamono aze naho hagodon-tika an-kadaha ao; naho hatalilin-tika te nabotse’ ty biby romotse, vaho ho onin-tika ty figadoña’ o nofi’eo.
21 Reuben heard it and rescued him from their hand. He said, “Let us not take his life.”
F’ie jinanji’ i Reòbene, le navotso’e am-pità’ iareo ami’ty hoe, Tsy hamitak’ ate aze tika.
22 Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to bring him back to his father.
Tinovo’ i Reòbene am’iereo ty hoe, Ko mampiori-dio; afetsaho an-kadaha an-jerezere tane atoy, fa ko mipao-tañañe ama’e—ie te hamotsotse aze am-pità’ iareo hampolia’e aman-drae’e.
23 It came about that when Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his beautiful garment.
Aa naho pok’ amo rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le hinalo’ iareo am’ Iosefe i saro’ey, i saroñe lava ama’ey,
24 They took him and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty with no water in it.
le rinambe’ iereo vaho nafetsa’ iereo an-kadaha ao. Nikapaike i kadahay, tsy aman-drano.
25 They sat down to eat bread. They lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh. They were traveling to carry them down to Egypt.
Niambesatse amy zao iereo nikama; fa ie nampiandra fihaino le nahaisake lia-rain-te-Iesmaèle nangovovòke boak’ e Gileade añe an-drameva ninday fisomantsaike naho fihosotse vaho lite, nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo.
26 Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Le hoe t’Ièhodà amo rahalahi’eo, Ino ty tombo’e ho an-tika te vonoeñe i rahalahin-tikañey naho etaheñe i lio’ey?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands upon him. For he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
Antao handetak’ aze amo nte-Iesmaèleo le tsy hampidoñan-tañantika, amy te rahalahintika, toe nofon-tikañe. Le nihaoñe’ o rahalahi’eo.
28 The Midianite merchants passed by. His brothers drew Joseph up and lifted him up out of the pit. They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites carried Joseph into Egypt.
Ie nim-beo o mpanao takinake nte-Midianeo le tinari’ iereo, nañakatse Iosefe amy kadahay vaho naleta’ iereo volafoty roapolo amo nte-Iesmaèleo vaho nendese’ iareo mb’e Mitsraime añe t’Iosefe.
29 Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. He tore his clothes.
Nibalike mb’amy kadahay mb’eo t’i Reòbene naho naheo’e te tsy an-kadaha ao t’Iosefe, vaho rinia’e o saro’eo.
30 He returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is not there! And I, where can I go?”
Nivalike mb’amo rahalahi’eo re nanao ty hoe, Tsy eo i ajalahiy, le izaho! aia ty hombako?
31 They slaughtered a goat and then took Joseph's garment and dipped it into the blood.
Aa le rinambe’ iareo i saro’ey, le nandenta vik’ose, vaho nalo’ iareo ami’ty lio’e ao i saroñey.
32 Then they brought it to their father and said, “We found this. Please see whether it is your son's clothing or not.”
Nahitrik’ añe i saro-vinahotsey, naho nendese’ iareo aman-drae’e ami’ty hoe, Ingo ty nizoe’ay, ehe vazoho ke ie i saron’ ana’oy, ke tsie.
33 Jacob recognized it and said, “It is my son's clothing. A wild animal has devoured him. Joseph has certainly been torn to pieces.”
Napota’e, le nanao ty hoe, Saron’ anako toy! Navorembore’ ty biby hako, tsy mikalafo te rinomidromitse t’Iosefe.
34 Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth upon his loins. He mourned for his son many days.
Rinia’ Iakòbe amy zao o saro’eo naho nisadia gony vaho nandala i ana-dahi’ey andro maro.
35 All his sons and daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “Indeed I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Hene niongake hañohoñe aze o ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’e iabio, f’ie nifoneñe tsy hohoñeñe, ami’ty hoe, Aiy, hizotso mb’an-tsikeokeoke mb’ aman’ ana-dahiko iraho an-kontoke. Izay ty fangoihoian-drae’e aze; (Sheol h7585)
36 The Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard.
Toe naleta’ o nte-Midianeo e Mitsraime añe re, amy Potifare, roandria’ i Parò, talèm-pigaritse.
