Jenesis 37
1 Menina Jekopu'a agri nefa zoka mani'neno hu'nea mopare Kenani mani'ne.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
2 Ama'i Jekopu naga nofimofo naneke. Josefe'a 17ni'a zagegafu nehuno, nehaza ne' mani'neno nefu'zane afutami kegava hu'ne. Bilhane, Zilpagizni nefa a'tremokizini mofavre'mozane kegava hu'naze. Josefe'a nefu'za havizama nehazankea erino nezmafana ome asami'ne.
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 Hagi Israeli'a (Jekopu'a) miko ne'mofavre'afintira, Josefena tusiza huno avesinte'ne. Na'ankure agra ravusefinka ante'neankino, agra avasese'ane kena tro huno antaninte'ne.
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 Ana hige'za Josefe nefu'za, kazama nezmafa'ma tusiza huno agri'ma avesinentege'za nege'za, zamagra avesi nonte'za knare hu'za fru keaga huomi'naze.
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 Hagi mago kenagera Josefe'a ava'na keteno, afuhe'mokizmi ana avana kea zamasmige'za, zamagra mago'ene tusiza hu'za zamarimpa ahente'naze.
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 Josefe'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Muse (plis) hurmantoanki ava'nama ke'noa zamofo nanekea antahiho,
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
7 hozafi witi ananekunkeno nagri witimo'a oti fatgo higeno, tamagri witimo'za regagi'za, nagri witirera kepri hu'naze.
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 Anante nefu'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze, tagrira tagaterenka kagra kini mani'za nehano. Tamage hunka kegava hurante'za nehano, nehu'za mago'ene zamasigu hunente'za, agri avana kene, ke'anena ontahi'naze.
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 Anante mago'ene ava'na keteno afuhe'i amanage huno zamasami'ne, Antahiho, mago'ene ava'nagoana, zagene, ikane, 11ni'a ofumo'za nagrite kepri hunante'naze.
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 Josefe'a anage huno nefane, afuhe'inena nezmasmigeno, nafa'amo'a amanage huno kesune, Kagra nankna ava'na negane? Nagrane, negrera'ene negafu'zanena tamage huta kagrite kepri hugahuno?
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 Agri afuhe'za amefi'a ke hunte'nazanagi, nefa'a hakare'a nanekea antahi antahifi atre'ne.
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12 Mago'zupa agri nefu'za, nezmafa afutami avre'za traza nehogu Sekemu vu'nazageno,
And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
13 Israeli'a amanage huno Josefena asami'ne, Negafu'za afuzaga zamavare'za Sekemu traza me'nerega ome zamante'za mani'nazanki ege'na, huganta'nena vuo. Higeno Josefe'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra vugahue.
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
14 Higeno nefa'a amanage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Menina vunka negafuzane, afuzaganena knare hu'za mani'nafi ome ketenka, ete enka kea eme nasmio. Anage nehuno huntegeno Hebroni agupofinti vuno Sekemu uhanati'ne.
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 Anantega ome hakeno vano nehigeno mago ne'mo anampi negeno anage huno antahige'ne, na'anku kagra nehakrane?
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16 Higeno Josefe'a anage hu'ne, Nagra nafuhemokizmigu nehakroanki, muse (plis) hugantoanki inantega afu'zmia kegava hu'za mani'nafi nasmio?
But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.
17 Higeno ana ne'mo'a anage huno asamine, Amafinti atre'za vunaku nehu'za, Dotani vanune nehazage'na antahi'noe. Higeno Josefe'a zamage zamavaririno vuno afuhe'ina Dotani ome zamageno erifore hu'ne.
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 Hagi Josefe'a afete ne-eno eravao osu'nege'za afuhe'za nege'za, ahe frigahune hu'za kea retro hu'naze.
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
19 Zamagra zamagra ke hugantugama hu'za amanage hu'naze, ava'na kege nera antu e!
And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
20 Hanki menina enketa aheta keri kampi mate'vuta nevazita, amanage hugahune. Afi zagamo aheno ne'ne, nehuta avana ke'amo'a inankna hugahifi kesune!
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 Ana hianagi Rubeni'a ana naneke nentahino, aza hunaku anage hu'ne, atrenketa ahe ofrisanune.
And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
22 Rubeni'a mago'ene amanage huno zamagrira zamasami'ne, Aheta korana eri oragi'sunanki, amima ka'ma kopima me'nea kerifi oheta avre vazisanune. Ana hanageno agra aza huno avreno nefa ome amisigu hu'ne.
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 Hanki Josefe'ma eno afuhe'inte'ma ehanatige'za, zamagra azeriza, knare avasese'ane za'za kena nefa'ma antaninte'neana zafi netre'za,
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24 zamagra azeri'za tinkeri kampi matevu atre'naze. Ana kerifina tina omnene.
And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.
25 Ana hute'za, zamagra mani'ne'za ne'za nenaku nehu'za, kesga hu'za zamavua kazana, avazu hunte'za Ismaeli vahe'mo'za Giliatiti ne-eza, kemorizmifi gamune, fukinkna masave tusa masave kregefe'neane (bam) mana'nentake'za mere'ne eri'za Isipi zagore ome atrenaku e'naze.
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 Juda'a amanage huno afuhe'mokizigura hu'ne, Neregnama aheta korama'a eri tagisuta nankna miza erigahune?
And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Agra tagri kora mani'negu ohesunanki, enketa Ismaeli vahete Josefena mizante atramneno. Hige'za nefu'za ana nanekere mago zamarimpa hu'naze.
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 Anante mago'a Midiani vahe'mo'za, fenozama zagore'ma netre'za eneri'za nehaza vahe'mo'za anante neazageno, zamagra Josefena kerifinti avazuhu naga'atre'za Ismaeli vahete 20'a sekel silva zagore atre'naze. Ana hazage'za Josefena avre'za Isipi vu'naze.
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 Rubeni'a keri avazare eno keana Josefe'a kerifi omani'negeno kukena'a sgane sagnu hu'ne.
And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30 Aganahe'inte agra uhanatino amanage hu'ne, Ana mofavre'a omani'ne. Hanki nagra inankna hugahue?
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31 Hige'za zamagra Josefe avasese'ane kena eri'za, ve meme ahe'za ana za'za kena'a korama'afi re'za ti'za hute'za,
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32 anante ana avasese'ane za'za kena, mago'amo'za eri'za nezmafante uhanatiza anage hu'naze. Amama kefore'ma hu'na kena muse (plis) hugantonanki, kagri negamofo za'za kenafi ko.
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 Hazageno keteno amanage hu'ne, Ama'i nagri ne'mofavremofo za'za kene. Afi zagagafamo aheno ne'ne, tamage huno Josefena amprino anitraga trogo hutre'negahie!
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 Anage nehuno Jekopu'a kukena'a braro bruru huno tanefa kateno kukena'are nefreno za'za kna ne'mofonkura huno zavira ate'ne.
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
35 Ana hige'za mika ne'mofa'amo'za, oti'za azeri avavasenaku hu'nazanagi, azeri vava sezankura ave'osi'ne. Hagi agra amanage hu'ne, Nenamofonku zavi netena fri'na fri vahe kumapi umanigahue. Nehuno nefa'a zavi ate'ne. (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 Hagi Midiani vahe'mo'za Isipi uhanati'za Josefena mizante atrazageno, Isipi ne' Fero avate kva ne' Potifa miza se'ne.
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
