Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
Ary Jakoba nonina tany amin’ ny tany fivahinian’ ny rainy, dia tany amin’ ny tany Kanana.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their bad report.
Ary izao no tantaran’ i Jakoba: Rehefa fito ambin’ ny folo taona Josefa, dia niara-niandry ondry tamin’ ny rahalahiny izy (fa mbola zaza izy), dia tamin’ ny zanak’ i Bila sy ny zanak’ i Zilpa, vadin’ i Jakoba rainy; ary Josefa nitati-bolana tamin-drainy.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
Ary tian’ Isiraely mihoatra noho ny zanany rehetra Josefa, satria zanaky ny fahanterany izy, ka nanaovany akanjo lava.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Ary nony hitan’ ny rahalahiny fa Josefa no tian’ ny rainy mihoatra noho izy mirahalahy avy, dia nankahala azy izy ka tsy nahazaka hanao teny tsara taminy.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Ary nanonofy Josefa, ka nambarany tamin’ ireo rahalahiny; dia vao mainka nankahalany azy izany.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Fa efa nilaza taminy hoe izy: Mba henoy kely ange izao nofy izao:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood around, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Indro, namehy amboara tany an-tsaha isika, ary, indro, niarina ny amboarako sady nijoro; ary, indreo, nilahatra manodidina kosa ny amboaranareo ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny amboarako.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Ary hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Moa hanjaka aminay tokoa va ianao? na hanapaka anay tokoa va ianao? Ary izany nofiny sy teniny izany dia vao mainka nankahalany azy.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Ary nanonofy indray izy ka nolazainy tamin’ ny rahalahiny; dia hoy izy: Indro, nanonofy indray aho; ary, indreo, ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana iraika ambin’ ny folo niankohoka teo anatrehako.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Ary nambarany tamin’ ny rainy sy ireo rahalahiny koa izany; dia niteny mafy azy ny rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manao ahoana izany nofy efa nonofisinao izany? Moa ho avy tokoa va aho sy ny reninao ary ny rahalahinao ka hiankohoka amin’ ny tany eo anatrehanao?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
Dia nialona azy ny rahalahiny; fa ny rainy kosa nitadidy izany zavatra izany.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Ary lasa ny rahalahiny niandry ny ondrin’ ny rainy tany Sekema.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
Ary hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa: Tsy miandry ondry any Sekema va ny rahalahinao? Avia mba hirahiko hankany aminy ianao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Inty Aho.
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Ary hoy ny rainy taminy: Masìna ianao, andeha, izahao na tsara ihany ny rahalahinao sy ny ondry aman’ osy, na manao ahoana; ka miverena hilaza amiko. Dia nirahiny hiala avy teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Hebrona izy, dia nankany Sekema.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Ary nisy lehilahy nahita azy, fa, indro, nirenireny tany an-tsaha izy; dia nanontany azy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Inona moa notadiavinao?
16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
Dia hoy kosa izy: Ny rahalahiko no tadiaviko; koa masìna ianao, mba lazao amiko izay iandrasany ondry.
17 And the man said, They have departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
Ary hoy ralehilahy: Efa nifindra niala teto izy: fa efa reko izy niresaka hoe: Andeha isika hankany Dotana. Dia lasa Josefa nanaraka ny rahalahiny ka nahita azy tany Dotana.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Ary nahatazana azy eny lavidavitra eny ny rahalahiny; koa raha tsy mbola nanakaiky azy Josefa, dia niray tetika hamono azy izy.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer is coming.
Dia niresaka hoe izy: Indro, tamy ilay mpanonofy.
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Koa ankehitriny, andeha hovonointsika izy ka hatsipintsika ao anatin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto lavaka ireto; ary dia aoka holazaintsika hoe: Efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; dia ho hitantsika amin’ izany na hanao ahoana ny nofiny.
21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him from their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
Ary Robena nandre izany, dia namonjy azy tamin’ ny tànany ka nanao hoe: Aza dia mamono ny ainy isika.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back to his father.
Ary hoy koa Robena taminy: Aoka tsy handatsa-drà ianareo; atsipazo ao anatin’ io lavaka etỳ an-efitra io izy, fa aza misy maninji-tanana aminy ianareo, mba hamonjeny azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiny hitondrany azy any amin’ ny rainy indray.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny rahalahiny Josefa, dia nendahany ny akanjony, dia ilay akanjo lava teny aminy;
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
dia nobetainy izy ka natsipiny tao an-davaka; ary maina ny lavaka tamin’ izay, fa tsy nisy rano tao.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry them down to Egypt.
Ary nipetraka nihinan-kanina izy ireo, ary sendra nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa, indreo, nisy Isimaelita niara-dia, avy tany Gileada, ary ny ramevany nitondra ditin-kazo, dia nekota sy balsama ary lota, izay nentiny hidina any Egypta.
26 And Judah said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Inona no soa ho azontsika, raha hamono ny rahalahintsika sy hanafina ny ràny isika?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother our flesh. And his brethren were content.
Andeha hamidintsika amin’ ireo Isimaelita ireo izy, ary aoka tsy haninona azy ny tanantsika; fa rahalahintsika sy nofontsika ihany izy. Dia nanaiky ny rahalahiny.
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Ary raha nandalo teo ny Midianita mpandranto, dia nakarin’ ny rahalahiny niala tao an-davaka Josefa ka namidiny sekely volafotsy roa-polo tamin’ ny Isimaelita; ary dia nitondra an’ i Josefa ho any Egypta ireo.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny lavaka Robena, ka, indro, tsy tao an-davaka intsony Josefa; dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.
30 And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy ao ny zaza, ary izaho, aiza no halehako?
31 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Ary nalain’ ireo rahalahiny ilay akanjon’ i Josefa, dia namono zanak’ osy izy, ka natsobony tamin’ ny rà ny akanjo.
32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it is thy son’s coat or not.
Dia nampanateriny ho any amin’ ny rainy ilay akanjo, sady hoy no filazany azy: Ity no efa hitanay; koa fantaro na akanjon’ ny zanakao ity, na tsia?
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
Dia fantany, ka hoy izy: Akanjon’ ny zanako io: efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; voaviravira tokoa Josefa.
34 And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Ary Jakoba dia nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nisikina lamba fisaonana tamin’ ny valahany; ary nisaona ny zanany andro maro.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Dia avy ny zananilahy rehetra sy ny zananivavy rehetra mba hampionona azy, fa tsy nety nampiononina izy, fa hoy izy; Tsia, fa hidina misaona ho any amin’ ny zanako any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita aho. Ary dia mbola nitomany azy ny rainy. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
Ary ny Midianita nivarotra an’ i Josefa tany Egypta tamin’ i Potifara, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina.
