Kejadian 37
1 Yakub menetap di negeri Kanaan, tempat tinggal ayahnya,
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
2 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.
And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father’s wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
3 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.
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
4 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.
And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5 Pada suatu malam Yusuf bermimpi, dan ketika ia menceritakan mimpinya itu kepada abang-abangnya, mereka bertambah benci kepadanya.
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
6 Inilah yang dikatakan Yusuf kepada mereka, "Coba dengar!
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
7 Saya bermimpi kita semua sedang di ladang mengikat gandum, lalu gandum saya berdiri tegak. Gabung-gabung kalian mengelilingi gabung saya lalu sujud kepadanya."
I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf.
8 "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.
His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
9 Kemudian Yusuf bermimpi lagi, dan ia mengatakan kepada abang-abangnya, "Saya bermimpi lagi, saya lihat matahari, bulan dan sebelas bintang sujud kepada saya."
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
10 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?"
And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
11 Abang-abang Yusuf iri hati kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya tetap memikirkan mimpi itu.
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12 Pada suatu hari ketika abang-abang Yusuf pergi ke Sikhem untuk menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba ayah mereka,
And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
13 berkatalah Yakub kepada Yusuf, "Pergilah ke Sikhem, ke tempat abang-abangmu menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba kita." Jawab Yusuf, "Baik, Ayah."
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
14 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.
I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
15 Sementara ia berjalan ke sana kemari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki yang bertanya kepadanya, "Apa yang kaucari?"
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16 "Abang-abang saya. Mereka sedang menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba," jawab Yusuf, "Tahukah Bapak di mana mereka berada?"
But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.
17 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.
And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
18 Dari jauh mereka telah melihat Yusuf, dan sebelum ia sampai kepada mereka, mereka sepakat untuk membunuh dia.
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
19 Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain, "Lihat, si tukang mimpi itu datang.
And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
20 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."
Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
21 Ruben mendengar rencana mereka itu, lalu ia berusaha untuk menyelamatkan Yusuf. "Jangan bunuh dia," katanya.
And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
22 "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.
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
23 Ketika Yusuf sampai kepada abang-abangnya, dengan kasar mereka menanggalkan jubah Yusuf yang sangat bagus itu.
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24 Lalu mereka menyeret dia dan melemparkannya ke dalam sumur yang kering.
And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.
25 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.
And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
26 Lalu kata Yehuda kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Apa gunanya membunuh adik kita dan merahasiakan pembunuhan itu?
And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Mari kita jual dia kepada orang Ismael itu. Tak usah kita sakiti dia. Bagaimanapun juga dia adalah adik kita sendiri." Saudara-saudaranya setuju,
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
28 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.
And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
29 Ketika Ruben kembali ke sumur itu dan tidak menemui Yusuf di situ, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya karena sedih.
And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30 Ia kembali kepada saudara-saudaranya dan berkata, "Anak itu tidak ada lagi di situ! Apa yang harus saya lakukan sekarang?"
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31 Lalu mereka menyembelih seekor kambing dan mencelupkan jubah Yusuf ke dalam darah kambing itu.
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32 Kemudian jubah itu mereka suruh antarkan kepada ayah mereka dengan pesan, "Jubah ini kami temukan. Milik anak Ayahkah ini?"
Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.
33 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!"
And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
34 Yakub merobek pakaiannya karena sedih dan memakai pakaian kabung. Berhari-hari lamanya ia meratapi anaknya itu.
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
35 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)
And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, (Sheol h7585)
36 Sementara itu, di Mesir, orang-orang Midian telah menjual Yusuf kepada Potifar, seorang perwira raja yang menjabat kepala pengawal istana.
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
