Kejadian 37
1 Adapun Yakub, ia diam di negeri penumpangan ayahnya, yakni di tanah Kanaan.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
2 Inilah riwayat keturunan Yakub. Yusuf, tatkala berumur tujuh belas tahun--jadi masih muda--biasa menggembalakan kambing domba, bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudaranya, anak-anak Bilha dan Zilpa, kedua isteri ayahnya. Dan Yusuf menyampaikan kepada ayahnya kabar tentang kejahatan saudara-saudaranya.
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 Israel lebih mengasihi Yusuf dari semua anaknya yang lain, sebab Yusuf itulah anaknya yang lahir pada masa tuanya; dan ia menyuruh membuat jubah yang maha indah bagi dia.
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 dilihat oleh saudara-saudaranya, bahwa ayahnya lebih mengasihi Yusuf dari semua saudaranya, maka bencilah mereka itu kepadanya dan tidak mau menyapanya dengan ramah.
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 kali bermimpilah Yusuf, lalu mimpinya itu diceritakannya kepada saudara-saudaranya; sebab itulah mereka lebih benci lagi 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 Karena katanya kepada mereka: "Coba dengarkan mimpi yang kumimpikan ini:
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
7 Tampak kita sedang di ladang mengikat berkas-berkas gandum, lalu bangkitlah berkasku dan tegak berdiri; kemudian datanglah berkas-berkas kamu sekalian mengelilingi dan sujud menyembah kepada berkasku itu."
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 Lalu saudara-saudaranya berkata kepadanya: "Apakah engkau ingin menjadi raja atas kami? Apakah engkau ingin berkuasa atas kami?" Jadi makin bencilah mereka kepadanya karena mimpinya dan karena perkataannya itu.
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 Lalu ia memimpikan pula mimpi yang lain, yang diceritakannya kepada saudara-saudaranya. Katanya: "Aku bermimpi pula: Tampak matahari, bulan dan sebelas bintang sujud menyembah kepadaku."
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 Setelah hal ini diceritakannya kepada ayah dan saudara-saudaranya, maka ia ditegor oleh ayahnya: "Mimpi apa mimpimu itu? Masakan aku dan ibumu serta saudara-saudaramu sujud menyembah kepadamu sampai ke tanah?"
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 Maka iri hatilah saudara-saudaranya kepadanya, tetapi ayahnya menyimpan hal itu dalam hatinya.
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12 Pada suatu kali pergilah saudara-saudaranya menggembalakan kambing domba ayahnya dekat Sikhem.
And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
13 Lalu Israel berkata kepada Yusuf: "Bukankah saudara-saudaramu menggembalakan kambing domba dekat Sikhem? Marilah engkau kusuruh kepada mereka." Sahut Yusuf: "Ya bapa."
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
14 Kata Israel kepadanya: "Pergilah engkau melihat apakah baik keadaan saudara-saudaramu dan keadaan kambing domba; dan bawalah kabar tentang itu kepadaku." Lalu Yakub menyuruh dia dari lembah Hebron, dan Yusufpun sampailah ke 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 Ketika Yusuf berjalan ke sana ke mari di padang, bertemulah ia dengan seorang laki-laki, yang bertanya kepadanya: "Apakah yang kaucari?"
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16 Sahutnya: "Aku mencari saudara-saudaraku. Tolonglah katakan kepadaku di mana mereka menggembalakan kambing domba?"
But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.
17 Lalu kata orang itu: "Mereka telah berangkat dari sini, sebab telah kudengar mereka berkata: Marilah kita pergi ke Dotan." Maka Yusuf menyusul saudara-saudaranya itu dan didapatinyalah 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 ia telah kelihatan kepada mereka. Tetapi sebelum ia dekat pada mereka, mereka telah bermufakat mencari daya upaya untuk membunuhnya.
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, tukang mimpi kita itu datang!
And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
20 Sekarang, marilah kita bunuh dia dan kita lemparkan ke dalam salah satu sumur ini, lalu kita katakan: seekor binatang buas telah menerkamnya. Dan kita akan lihat nanti, bagaimana jadinya 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 Ketika Ruben mendengar hal ini, ia ingin melepaskan Yusuf dari tangan mereka, sebab itu katanya: "Janganlah kita bunuh dia!"
And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
22 Lagi kata Ruben kepada mereka: "Janganlah tumpahkan darah, lemparkanlah dia ke dalam sumur yang ada di padang gurun ini, tetapi janganlah apa-apakan dia" --maksudnya hendak melepaskan Yusuf dari tangan mereka dan membawanya kembali kepada ayahnya.
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 Baru saja Yusuf sampai kepada saudara-saudaranya, merekapun menanggalkan jubah Yusuf, jubah maha indah yang dipakainya itu.
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24 Dan mereka membawa dia dan melemparkan dia ke dalam sumur. Sumur itu kosong, tidak berair.
And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.
25 Kemudian duduklah mereka untuk makan. Ketika mereka mengangkat muka, kelihatanlah kepada mereka suatu kafilah orang Ismael datang dari Gilead dengan untanya yang membawa damar, balsam dan damar ladan, dalam perjalanannya mengangkut barang-barang itu ke Mesir.
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 itu: "Apakah untungnya kalau kita membunuh adik kita itu dan menyembunyikan darahnya?
And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Marilah kita jual dia kepada orang Ismael ini, tetapi janganlah kita apa-apakan dia, karena ia saudara kita, darah daging kita." Dan saudara-saudaranya mendengarkan perkataannya itu.
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 Ketika ada saudagar-saudagar Midian lewat, Yusuf diangkat ke atas dari dalam sumur itu, kemudian dijual kepada orang Ismael itu dengan harga dua puluh syikal perak. Lalu Yusuf dibawa mereka 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, ternyata Yusuf tidak ada lagi di dalamnya. Lalu dikoyakkannyalah bajunya,
And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30 dan kembalilah ia kepada saudara-saudaranya, katanya: "Anak itu tidak ada lagi, ke manakah aku ini?"
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31 Kemudian mereka mengambil jubah Yusuf, dan menyembelih seekor kambing, lalu mencelupkan jubah itu ke dalam darahnya.
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32 Jubah maha indah itu mereka suruh antarkan kepada ayah mereka dengan pesan: "Ini kami dapati. Silakanlah bapa periksa apakah jubah ini milik anak bapa atau tidak?"
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 Ketika Yakub memeriksa jubah itu, ia berkata: "Ini jubah anakku; binatang buas telah memakannya; tentulah Yusuf telah diterkam."
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 Dan Yakub mengoyakkan jubahnya, lalu mengenakan kain kabung pada pinggangnya dan berkabunglah ia berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu.
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
35 Sekalian anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan berusaha menghiburkan dia, tetapi ia menolak dihiburkan, serta katanya: "Tidak! Aku akan berkabung, sampai aku turun mendapatkan anakku, ke dalam dunia orang mati!" Demikianlah Yusuf ditangisi oleh ayahnya. (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 Adapun Yusuf, ia dijual oleh orang Midian itu ke Mesir, kepada Potifar, seorang pegawai istana Firaun, kepala pengawal raja.
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
