Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
Jakubu nĩatũũrire bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ithe aaikarĩte, nĩguo bũrũri wa Kaanani.
2 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Jakubu. Jusufu arĩ mwanake mũnini wa mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja aarĩithagia mbũri marĩ na ariũ a ithe, na ariũ a Biliha, na ariũ a Zilipa, atumia a ithe, nake agĩtwarĩra ithe wao ũhoro mũũru ũkoniĩ ariũ a ithe.
3 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
Na rĩrĩ, Isiraeli nĩendeete Jusufu gũkĩra ariũ arĩa angĩ ake othe, tondũ aamũciarire arĩ mũkũrũ; na nĩamũtumithĩirie kanjũ ya goro ngʼemie wega mũno.
4 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
Na rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe moonire atĩ ithe nĩamwendete kũmakĩra-rĩ, makĩmũmena na matingĩamwarĩirie kiugo o na kĩmwe kĩega.
5 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
Ũtukũ ũmwe Jusufu nĩarootire kĩroto, na rĩrĩa eerire ariũ a ithe ũhoro wakĩo, makĩmũmena makĩria.
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai ũhoro wa kĩroto gĩkĩ ndootete:
7 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
Tũrohaga itĩĩa cia ngano tũrĩ mũgũnda-inĩ, na o rĩmwe gĩtĩĩa gĩakwa kĩrehaanda na igũrũ, nacio itĩĩa cianyu irathiũrũrũkĩria gĩakwa, na irakĩinamĩrĩra.”
8 And his brethren say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
Ariũ a ithe makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga nĩũrenda gũtũthamakĩra? Anga ti-itherũ nĩũgatwatha?” Nao magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmũmena nĩ ũndũ wa kĩroto kĩu gĩake, na nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciake.
9 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.'
Ningĩ Jusufu akĩroota kĩroto kĩngĩ, na akĩĩra ariũ a ithe ũhoro wakĩo. Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai, nĩndĩrarootire kĩroto kĩngĩ, na ihinda rĩĩrĩ, ndĩrarootire riũa, na mweri, na njata ikũmi na ĩmwe ikĩnyinamĩrĩra.”
10 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
Rĩrĩa eerire ithe o na ariũ a ithe ũhoro ũcio, ithe akĩmũkũma, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩroto kĩa mũthemba ũrĩkũ kĩu ũrotete? Anga nyũkwa, na niĩ, na ariũ a thoguo nĩtũgooka, na tũinamĩrĩre thĩ mbere yaku?”
11 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
Ariũ a ithe nĩmamũiguĩrĩire ũiru, no ithe agĩikara agĩĩciiragia ũhoro wa irooto icio.
12 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a ithe nĩmathiĩte kũrĩithia mbũri cia ithe wao gũkuhĩ na Shekemu,
13 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
nake Isiraeli akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa ũũĩ, ariũ a thoguo nĩmararĩithia mbũri gũkuhĩ na Shekemu. Ũka, nĩngũgũtũma kũrĩ o.” Nake akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũguo noguo.”
14 and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkarore kana ariũ a thoguo marĩ o ho o wega, o ũndũ ũmwe na mbũri, na ũnjookerie ũhoro.” Nake akĩmũtũma kuuma Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Hebironi. Rĩrĩa Jusufu aakinyire Shekemu,
15 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
mũndũ ũmwe akĩmuona akĩũrũũra mĩgũnda-inĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũracaria?”
16 and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
Nake Jusufu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ariũ a baba ndĩracaria. No ũnjĩĩre kũrĩa mararĩithia mbũri ciao?”
17 And the man saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
Mũndũ ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmoimĩte gũkũ. Ndĩraiguire makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Rekei tũthiĩ Dothani.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩrũmĩrĩra ariũ a ithe, na akĩmakora hakuhĩ na Dothani.
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
No makĩmuona arĩ haraaya, na ataanakinya harĩa maarĩ, magĩciirĩra kũmũũraga.
19 And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
Makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Mũroti ũrĩa nĩokĩte!
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
Ũkai; rekei tũmũũrage na tũmũikie irima rĩmwe rĩa maya, na tuuge atĩ nĩ nyamũ njũru ĩmũrĩĩte. Nĩtũkĩone ũrĩa irooto icio ciake ikaahinga.”
21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
No rĩrĩa Rubeni aiguire ũguo, akĩgeria kũhonokia Jusufu kuuma moko-inĩ mao. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei tũtige kũmũũraga.
22 and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
Mũtigaite thakame. Mũikiei irima-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩ gũkũ werũ-inĩ, no mũtikamwĩke ũũru.” Rubeni oigaga ũguo nĩgeetha amũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ o, nĩguo amũcookie kũrĩ ithe.
23 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
Na rĩrĩa Jusufu aakinyire harĩ ariũ a ithe, makĩmũruta kanjũ yake ĩrĩa eekĩrĩte, o ĩrĩa yarĩ ya goro na ngʼemie wega mũno.
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
Makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũikia irima rĩu. Na rĩrĩ, irima rĩu rĩarĩ rĩũmũ; rĩtiarĩ na maaĩ.
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
Magĩcooka magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa irio ciao, magĩtiira maitho makĩona gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa Aishumaeli gĩgĩũka kiumĩte Gileadi. Ngamĩĩra ciao ciakuuithĩtio mahuti manungi wega, na ũbani, na ũũkĩ-wa-ngoma ũrĩa wĩtagwo manemane, na maikũrũkĩte mathiĩ matware indo icio Misiri.
26 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Juda akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ uumithio ũrĩkũ tũkuona tũngĩũraga mũrũ wa ithe witũ na tũhithe gĩkuũ gĩake?
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
Rekei tũmwenderie Aishumaeli aya, no tũtikamwĩke ũũru na moko maitũ, tondũ ũyũ nĩ mũrũ wa ithe witũ, tũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe na thakame o ĩmwe.” Nao ariũ a ithe magĩtĩkĩra.
28 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa onjorithia acio Amidiani maahĩtũkagĩra hau, ariũ a ithe makĩruta Jusufu irima, na makĩmwendia cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia betha kũrĩ Aishumaeli acio, nao makĩmũtwara Misiri.
29 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
Rĩrĩa Rubeni aacookire irima-inĩ na akĩona atĩ Jusufu ndaarĩ ho, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake.
30 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
Agĩcooka kũrĩ ariũ a ithe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kamwana karĩa gatirĩ ho! Niĩ ngwĩka atĩa?”
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Nao makĩoya kanjũ ya Jusufu, magĩthĩnja mbũri na magĩtobokia kanjũ ĩyo thĩinĩ wa thakame ĩyo.
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?'
Magĩcooka makĩoya kanjũ ĩyo yagemetio, makĩmĩtwarĩra ithe wao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kanjũ ĩno nĩ kũmĩona tũramĩonire. Mĩrore wega wone kana hihi nĩ kanjũ ĩrĩa ya mũrũguo.”
33 And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
Nake akĩmĩmenya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kanjũ ya mũrũ wakwa! Nyamũ njũru nĩĩmũrĩĩte. Ti-itherũ Jusufu nĩarĩkĩtie kũũragwo, agatambuurwo icunjĩ.”
34 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
Ningĩ Jakubu agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, agĩĩkĩra nguo ya ikũnia, na agĩcakaĩra mũriũ matukũ maingĩ.
35 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
Ariũ ake othe na airĩtu ake magĩũka kũmũhooreria, no akĩrega kũhoorerio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca! Ngathiĩ mbĩrĩra kũrĩ mũrũ wakwa ngĩrĩraga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ithe agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmũrĩrĩra. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
Nao Amidiani acio makĩendia Jusufu kũu Misiri kũrĩ Potifaru, ũmwe wa anene a Firaũni, nake aarĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa arangĩri a Firaũni.
