Genesis 37
1 Forsothe Jacob dwellide in the lond of Canaan, in which his fadir was a pilgrym; and these weren the generaciouns of hym.
Yakobo akaishi katika nchi aliyokaa babaye, katika nchi ya Kanaani.
2 Joseph whanne he was of sixtene yeer, yit a child, kepte a flok with hise britheren, and was with the sones of Bala and Zelfa, wyues of his fadir; and he accuside his britheren at the fadir of `the worste synne.
Haya ndiyo matukio yaliyomhusu Yakobo. Yusufu, aliyekuwa kijana wa miaka kumi na saba, alikuwa akilichunga kundi pamoja na ndugu zake. Alikuwa pamoja na wana wa Bilha na pamoja na wana wa Zilpa, wake wa baba yake. Yusufu akaleta taarifa yao mbaya kwa baba yao.
3 Forsothe Israel louyde Joseph ouer alle hise sones, for he hadde gendrid hym in eelde; and he made to Joseph a cote of many colours.
Basi Israeli akampenda Yusufu kuliko wanawe wote kwa sababu alikuwa mwana wa uzee wake. Akamshonea vazi zuri.
4 Forsothe hise britheren sien that he was loued of the fader more than alle, and thei hatiden hym, and myyten not speke ony thing pesibli to hym.
Ndugu zake wakaona kwamba baba yao alimpenda sana kuliko ndugu zake wote. Wakamchukia na hawakuongea naye vema.
5 And it bifelde that he telde to hise britheren a sweuene seyn, which cause was `the seed of more hatrede.
Yusufu akaota ndoto, na akawambia ndugu zake. Wakamchukia zaidi.
6 And Joseph seide to his britheren, Here ye the sweuene which Y seiy,
Aliwambia, “Tafadhari sikilizeni ndoto hii niliyoiota.
7 Y gesside that we bounden to gidere handfuls, and that as myn handful roos, and stood, and that youre handfuls stoden aboute and worschipiden myn handful.
Tazama, tulikuwa tukifunga miganda ya nafaka shambani na tazama, mganda wangu ukainuka na kusimama wima, na tazama, miganda yenu ikasogea na kuuinamia mganda wangu”
8 Hise britheren answerden, Whether thou shalt be oure kyng, ethir we shulen be maad suget to thi lordschip? Therfor this cause of sweuenys and wordis mynystride the nurschyng of enuye, and of hatrede.
Ndugu zake wakamwambia, “Je ni kweli utatutawala? Je utatutawala juu yetu? Hata wakamchukia zaidi kwa ajili ya ndoto zake na maneno yake.
9 Also Joseph seiy another sweuene, which he telde to the britheren, and seide, Y seiy bi a sweuene that as the sunne, and moone, and enleuen sterris worschipiden me.
Akaota ndoto nyingine na kuwasimulia ndugu zake. Alisema, “Tazama, nimeota ndoto nyingine: Jua na mwezi na nyota kumi na moja ziliniinamia.”
10 And whanne he hadde teld this sweuene to his fadir, and britheren, his fadir blamyde him, and seide, What wole this sweuene to it silf which thou hast seyn? Whether Y and thi modir, and thi britheren, schulen worschipe thee on erthe?
Akamwambia baba yake vile vile alivyowambia ndugu zake, na baba yake akamkemea. Akamwambia, Je umeota ndoto ya namna gani hii? Je mama yako na mimi na ndugu zako kweli tutakuja kukuinamia mpaka chini?”
11 Therfor hise britheren hadden enuye to hym. Forsothe the fadir bihelde pryuely the thing,
Ndugu zake wakamwonea wivu, lakini baba yake akaliwema jambo hilo moyoni.
12 and whanne his britheren dwelliden in Sichem, aboute flockis of the fadir `to be kept,
Ndugu zake wakaenda kulichunga kundi la baba yao huko Shekemu.
13 Israel seide to Joseph, Thi britheren kepen scheep in Sichymys; come thou, Y schal sende thee to hem.
Israeli akamwambia Yusufu, 'Je ndugu zako hawalichungi kundi huko Shekemu? Njoo, nami nitakutuma kwao.” Yusufu akamwambia, “nipo tayari.”
14 And whanne Joseph answerde, Y am redi, Israel seide, Go thou, and se whether alle thingis ben esi anentis thi britheren, and scheep; and telle thou to me what is doon. He was sent fro the valey of Ebron, and cam into Sichem;
Akamwambia, “Basi nenda, uwaone ndugu zako na kundi wanaendeleaje, na uniletee neno.” Hivyo Yakobo akamtuma kutoka katika bonde la Hebroni, na Yusufu akaenda Shekemu.
15 and a man foond hym errynge in the feeld, and `the man axide, what he souyte.
Mtu mmoja akamwona Yusufu. Tazama, Yusufu alikuwa akizunguka kondeni. Yule mtu akamwuliza, “Unatafuta nini?”
16 And he answerde, Y seke my britheren, schewe thou to me where thei kepten flockis.
Yusufu akamwambia, “Nawatafuta ndugu zangu. Tafadhari, niambie, wananalichunga wapi kundi.”
17 And the man seide to hym, Thei yeden awei fro this place; forsothe Y herde hem seiynge, Go we into Dothaym. And Joseph yede aftir his britheren, and foond hem in Dothaym.
Yule mtu akasema, “Waliondoka mahali hapa, kwa maana niliwasikia wakisema, 'Haya twende Dothani.” Yusufu akawafuata ndugu zake na kuwaona huko Dothani.
18 And whanne thei hadden seyn hym afer, bifor that he neiyede to hem,
Wakamwona kutokea mbali, na kabla hajawakaribia, wakapanga njama ya kumwua.
19 thei thouyten to sle hym, and spaken to gidere, Lo! the dremere cometh, come ye,
Ndugu zake wakaambiana wao kwa wao, “Tazama, mwotaji anakaribia.
20 sle we hym, and sende we into an eld sisterne, and we schulen seie, A wielde beeste ful wickid hath deuourid hym; and thanne it schal appere what hise dremes profiten to hym.
Njoni sasa, na tumwue na kumtupa katika mojawapo ya mashimo haya. Nasi tutasema, 'Mnyama mkali amemrarua.' Nasi tutaona ndoto zake zitakuwaje.”
21 Sotheli Ruben herde this, and enforside to delyuere hym fro her hondis,
Rubeni alilisikia hilo na kumwokoa kutoka katika mikono yao. Alisema, “Tusiuondoe uhai wake.”
22 and seide, Sle we not the lijf of hym, nether schede we out his blood, but caste ye hym into an eeld cisterne, which is in the wildirnesse, and kepe ye youre hondis gilteles. Forsothe he seide this, willynge to delyuere hym fro her hondis, and to yelde to his fadir.
Rubeni aliwambia, “Msimwage damu. Mtupeni katika shimo hili lililopo nyikani, lakini msiweke mikono yenu juu yake” - ili kwamba aweze kumwokoa katika mikono yao na kumrudisha kwa baba yake.
23 Therfor anoon as Joseph cam to hise britheren, thei dispuyliden hym of the coote, doun to the heele, and of many colours, and senten into the eeld cisterne,
Ikawa Yusufu alipowafikia ndugu zake, walimvua vazi lake zuri.
24 that hadde no water.
Wakamchukua na kumtupa shimoni. Shimo lilikuwa tupu bila maji.
25 And thei saten `to ete breed; and thei sien that Ismaelitis weigoers camen fro Galaad, and that her camels baren swete smellynge spiceries, and `rosyn, and stacten, into Egipt.
Wakakaa chini kula mkate. Walipoinua macho yao na kuangalia, na, tazama, msafara wa Waishmaeli ulikuwa ukija kutoka Gileadi, pamoja na ngamia wao waliochukua viungo, malhamu na manemane. Walikuwa wakisafiri kuvichukua kuelekea Misri.
26 Therfor Judas seide to hise britheren, What schal it profite to vs, if we schulen sle oure brother, and schulen hide his blood?
Yuda akawambia ndugu zake, “Ni faida gani kama tutamwua ndugu yetu na kufunika damu yake?
27 It is betere that he be seeld to Ismalitis, and oure hondis be not defoulid, for he is oure brother and fleisch. The britheren assentiden to these wordis;
Haya, na tumwuze kwa Waishmaeli na wala tusiweke mikono yetu juu yake. Kwani yeye ni ndugu yetu, nyama yetu.” Ndugu zake wakamsikiliza.
28 and whanne marchauntis of Madian passiden forth, thei drowen hym out of the cisterne, and seelden hym to Ismaelitis, for thriytti platis of siluer; whiche ledden hym in to Egipt.
Wafanyabiashara wa Kimidiani wakapita. Ndugu zake wakamwinua na kumtoa Yusufu shimoni. Wakamwuza Yusufu kwa Waishmaeli kwa vipande ishirini vya fedha. Waishmaeli wakamchukua Yusufu mpaka Misri.
29 And Ruben turnede ayen to the cisterne, and foond not the child;
Rubeni akarudi kwenye shimo, na, tazama, Yusufu hakuwemo shimoni. Akararua mavazi yake.
30 and he to-rente his closis, and he yede to hise britheren, and seide, The child apperith not, and whidir schal Y go?
Akarudi kwa ndugu zake na kusema, “Kijana yuko wapi? Na mimi, je niende wapi?”
31 Forsothe thei token his coote, and dippiden in the blood of a kide, which thei hadden slayn; and senten men that baren to the fadir,
Wakachinja mbuzi na kisha wakalichukua vazi la Yusufu na kulichovya katika damu.
32 and seiden, We han founde this coote, se, whether it is the coote of thi sone, ether nai.
Kisha wakalipeleka kwa baba yao na kusema, “Tumeiona hii. Tafadhari angalia kwamba ni vazi la mwanao au hapana.”
33 And whanne the fader hadde knowe it, he seide, It is the coote of my sone, a wielde beeste ful wickid hath ete hym, a beeste hath deuourid Joseph.
“Yakobo akaitambua na kusema, “Ni nguo ya mwanangu. Mnyama wa mwitu amemrarua. Bila shaka Yusufu ameraruliwa katika vipande.
34 And he to-rente his clothis, and he was clothid with an heire, and biweilide his sone in myche tyme.
Yakobo akararua mavazi yake na kuvaa mavazi ya magunia katika viuno vyake. Akaomboleza kwa ajili ya mwanawe siku nyingi.
35 Sothely whanne hise fre children weren gaderid to gidere, that thei schulden peese the sorewe of the fadir, he nolde take counfort, but seide, Y schal go doun in to helle, and schal biweile my sone. And the while Jacob contynude in wepyng, (Sheol h7585)
Wanawe na binti zake wote wakainuka na kumfariji, lakini alikataa kufarijiwa. Akasema, “Hakika nitashuka kuzimu nikimwombolezea mwanangu.” Babaye akamlilia. (Sheol h7585)
36 Madianytis seelden Joseph into Egipt to Putifar, chast `and onest seruaunt of Farao, maistir of the chyualrie.
Wamidiani wakamwuza huko Misri kwa Potifa, afisa wa Farao, kepteni wa walinzi.
