Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
Yakub menetap di negeri Kanaan, tempat tinggal ayahnya,
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.
dan inilah riwayat keluarga Yakub: Pada waktu Yusuf, anak Yakub berumur tujuh belas tahun, ia mengurus kawanan kambing domba bersama-sama dengan abang-abangnya, yaitu anak-anak Bilha dan Zilpa, kedua selir ayahnya. Ia melaporkan kepada ayahnya perbuatan-perbuatan jahat yang dilakukan oleh abang-abangnya.
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;
Yakub lebih sayang kepada Yusuf dari semua anaknya yang lain, karena Yusuf dilahirkan ketika ayahnya sudah tua. Pada suatu hari dibuatnya untuk Yusuf sebuah jubah yang sangat bagus.
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.
Setelah abang-abang Yusuf melihat bahwa ayah mereka lebih sayang kepada Yusuf daripada kepada mereka, bencilah mereka kepada Yusuf, sehingga tidak mau lagi bicara baik-baik dengan dia.
5 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
Pada suatu malam Yusuf bermimpi, dan ketika ia menceritakan mimpinya itu kepada abang-abangnya, mereka bertambah benci kepadanya.
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Inilah yang dikatakan Yusuf kepada mereka, "Coba dengar!
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.'
Saya bermimpi kita semua sedang di ladang mengikat gandum, lalu gandum saya berdiri tegak. Gabung-gabung kalian mengelilingi gabung saya lalu sujud kepadanya."
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.
"Kaukira engkau akan menjadi raja dan berkuasa atas kami?" tegur abang-abangnya. Lalu makin bencilah mereka kepadanya karena mimpi-mimpinya dan karena apa yang dikatakannya.
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.'
Kemudian Yusuf bermimpi lagi, dan ia mengatakan kepada abang-abangnya, "Saya bermimpi lagi, saya lihat matahari, bulan dan sebelas bintang sujud kepada saya."
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?'
Mimpi itu diceritakannya pula kepada ayahnya, dan ayahnya menegur dia, katanya, "Mimpi apa itu? Kaupikir saya, ibumu dan saudara-saudaramu akan datang dan sujud menyembah kepadamu?"
11 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
Abang-abang Yusuf iri hati kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya tetap memikirkan mimpi itu.
12 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Pada suatu hari ketika abang-abang Yusuf pergi ke Sikhem untuk menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba ayah mereka,
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;'
berkatalah Yakub kepada Yusuf, "Pergilah ke Sikhem, ke tempat abang-abangmu menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba kita." Jawab Yusuf, "Baik, Ayah."
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.
Kata ayahnya, "Lihatlah bagaimana keadaan abang-abangmu dan kawanan kambing domba, lalu kembalilah untuk melapor kepada saya." Maka dilepaskannya Yusuf pergi meninggalkan Lembah Hebron. Tak lama kemudian sampailah Yusuf di Sikhem.
15 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
Sementara ia berjalan ke sana kemari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki yang bertanya kepadanya, "Apa yang kaucari?"
16 and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
"Abang-abang saya. Mereka sedang menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba," jawab Yusuf, "Tahukah Bapak di mana mereka berada?"
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.
Kata orang itu, "Mereka telah berangkat dari sini. Saya dengar mereka berkata bahwa mereka hendak pergi ke Dotan." Lalu berangkatlah Yusuf menyusul abang-abangnya dan ditemukannya mereka di Dotan.
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
Dari jauh mereka telah melihat Yusuf, dan sebelum ia sampai kepada mereka, mereka sepakat untuk membunuh dia.
19 And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain, "Lihat, si tukang mimpi itu datang.
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.'
Ayo kita bunuh dia dan lemparkan mayatnya ke dalam sumur yang kering. Kita katakan nanti bahwa dia diterkam binatang buas. Kita lihat nanti bagaimana jadinya mimpi-mimpinya itu."
21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
Ruben mendengar rencana mereka itu, lalu ia berusaha untuk menyelamatkan Yusuf. "Jangan bunuh dia," katanya.
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.
"Kita lemparkan saja ke dalam sumur di padang gurun ini, tetapi jangan kita pukul atau lukai dia." Hal itu dikatakannya karena ia bermaksud menyelamatkan Yusuf dan menyuruh dia pulang ke rumah.
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,
Ketika Yusuf sampai kepada abang-abangnya, dengan kasar mereka menanggalkan jubah Yusuf yang sangat bagus itu.
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
Lalu mereka menyeret dia dan melemparkannya ke dalam sumur yang kering.
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.
Ketika mereka sedang makan, tiba-tiba terlihat oleh mereka suatu kafilah orang Ismael yang sedang dalam perjalanan dari Gilead ke Mesir. Unta-unta mereka bermuatan rempah-rempah dan kismis.
26 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
Lalu kata Yehuda kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Apa gunanya membunuh adik kita dan merahasiakan pembunuhan itu?
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.
Mari kita jual dia kepada orang Ismael itu. Tak usah kita sakiti dia. Bagaimanapun juga dia adalah adik kita sendiri." Saudara-saudaranya setuju,
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.
dan ketika beberapa pedagang Midian lewat, Yusuf dikeluarkan oleh abang-abangnya dari dalam sumur itu lalu dijual kepada orang Ismael itu dengan harga dua puluh keping perak. Kemudian ia dibawa oleh pedagang-pedagang itu ke Mesir.
29 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
Ketika Ruben kembali ke sumur itu dan tidak menemui Yusuf di situ, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya karena sedih.
30 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
Ia kembali kepada saudara-saudaranya dan berkata, "Anak itu tidak ada lagi di situ! Apa yang harus saya lakukan sekarang?"
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Lalu mereka menyembelih seekor kambing dan mencelupkan jubah Yusuf ke dalam darah kambing itu.
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?'
Kemudian jubah itu mereka suruh antarkan kepada ayah mereka dengan pesan, "Jubah ini kami temukan. Milik anak Ayahkah ini?"
33 And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
Yakub mengenali jubah itu, lalu berkata, "Betul, ini jubah anakku! Pasti dia sudah diterkam binatang buas. Aduh, anak saya Yusuf sudah mati dikoyak-koyak binatang itu!"
34 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
Yakub merobek pakaiannya karena sedih dan memakai pakaian kabung. Berhari-hari lamanya ia meratapi anaknya itu.
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)
Semua anak-anaknya, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan datang menghiburnya, tetapi ia tak mau dihibur. Katanya, "Sampai mati saya akan terus meratapi anak saya." Demikianlah ia terus berkabung karena Yusuf anaknya. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
Sementara itu, di Mesir, orang-orang Midian telah menjual Yusuf kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
