Genesis 37
1 Jacob el mutana in acn Canaan, yen papa tumal tuh muta we,
And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
2 ac pa inge sramsram ke sou lal Jacob. Joseph el sie mwet fusr yac na singoul itkosr, ac el wi mwet lel liyaung sheep ac nani uh. Mwet lel inge ma natul Bilhah ac Zilpah, mutan kulansap luo kien papa tumaltal ah. Joseph el tukakin nu sin papa tumal ma koluk mwet wial inge oru.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being still a lad even with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil report of them unto their father.
3 Jacob el lungse Joseph yohk liki mwet lel nukewa, mweyen el isusyang nu sel ke el arulana matu. Jacob el orala sie nuknuk na oa lal ma loes pao.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Ke tamulel lal liye lah papa tumalos el kuloel Joseph yohk lukelos nukewa, elos arulana kwasel Joseph, pwanang elos tia ku in kaskas kulang nu sel.
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 Sie pacl ah Joseph el oru mweme se, ac ke el srumunang nu sin tamulel lal, elos srungal yohk liki meet ah.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more.
6 El fahk, “Lohng mweme se nga oru inge.
And he said unto them: 'Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Kut nukewa muta inima ah, ac kapri kahp in wheat. Na kahp se luk ah tuyak suwosak nu lucng, a kahp lowos ah raunela kahp se luk ah, ac pasrla nu kac.”
for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and bowed down to my sheaf.'
8 Na tamulel wial ah siyuk sel, “Ya kom nunku mu kom ac tokosra ac leum facsr?” Ke ma inge yokelik srunga lalos nu sel liki meet, ke sripen mweme se lal ah, oayapa ke ma el fahk kaclos.
And his brethren said to him: 'Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?' And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 Tok Joseph el sifilpa oru sie mweme ac fahk nu sin mwet lel, “Nga oru pac mweme se ac nga liye mu faht ah, malem ah, ac itu singoul sie pasrla nu sik.”
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.'
10 El fahkang pac mweme sac nu sin papa tumal, ac papa tumal ah mulat nu sel ac fahk, “Mweme fuka se ingan? Ya kom nunku mu nga, ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom, in tuku epasr nu sum?”
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him: 'What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down to thee to the earth?'
11 Tamulel lal Joseph ah kewa elos sok sel, tusruktu papa tumal ah nunku na ma inge nukewa.
And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.
12 Sie len ah ke tamulel lal Joseph elos som tari nu Shechem in liyaung un kosro nutin papa tumalos,
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga lungse kom in som nu Shechem, yen tamulel lom elos liyaung kosro uh we.” Ac Joseph el topuk, “Kwal nga ac som.”
And Israel said unto Joseph: 'Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.' And he said to him: 'Here am I.'
14 Papa tumal el fahk nu sel, “Fahsrot liye lah tulik wiom an fuka, ac kosro natusr ah fuka, na foloko fahk nu sik.” Ouinge papa tumal ah supwalla, el som liki Infalfal Hebron. Joseph el sun acn Shechem
And he said to him: 'Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me back word.' So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 ac forfor uten acn uh, na mwet se liyalak ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom suk an?”
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying: 'What seekest thou?'
16 Ac el fahk, “Nga suk tamulel luk ma muta liyaung un kosro natulos uh. Kom ku in fahk nu sik lah eltal oasr ya?”
And he said: 'I seek my brethren. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock.'
17 Ac mwet sac fahk, “Eltal som tari. Nga lohng ke eltal fahk mu eltal ac som nu Dothan.” Ke ma inge Joseph el som tokoltal ac konaltalak Dothan.
And the man said: 'They are departed hence; for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothan.' And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Elos ngetla liyalak ke el fahsr srakna loes nu yorolos, ac meet liki el sonolos elos orek pwapa sulal ac wotela mu elos ac unilya.
And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mukul mweme ah pa fahsru ingo.
And they said one to another: 'Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20 Akola kut in unilya, ac siselang nu in sie luf inge. Kut fah tuh fahk mu kosro sulallal ah unilya. Kut in liye lah mweme lal ah ac fuka.”
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say: An evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.'
21 Reuben el lohng pwapa lalos, ac srike in molella Joseph. El fahk, “Tari kut tia unilya.
And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said: 'Let us not take his life.'
22 Kut siselang na nu in sie luf inge, ac tia oru kutena ma nu sel.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el akoo elan molella ac folokunulla nu yurin papa tumal ah.
And Reuben said unto them: 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him' — that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 Ke Joseph el tuku sonolos, elos seya nuknuk oa se lal ma loes pao ah,
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on him;
24 na elos usalla ac siselang nu in luf se wangin kof loac.
and they took him, and cast him into the pit — and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
25 Ke elos mongo, elos ngetla liyauk un mwet Ishmael se su tuku Gilead me in som nu Egypt. Camel natulos us pak pukanten ma sessesla ke mwe akyuye mongo ac ono keng.
And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and ladanum, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Judah el fahk nu sin mwet wial, “Wo fuka se kut ac eis kut fin uniya tamulel se lasr, na tari wikin ma kut oru?
And Judah said unto his brethren: 'What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Kut kukakunulla nu sin mwet Ishmael inge. Fin ange, na kut ac tia enenu in unilya. Saya na, ma wiasr pa el ac kut srah sefanna.” Tamulel lal elos insese nu kac,
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh.' And his brethren hearkened unto him.
28 ac ke kutu mwet kuka Midian elos fahsryak, na mwet wial Joseph elos amakunulak liki luf sac, ac kukakunulang su sin mwet Ishmael inge ke ipin silver longoul. Na elos usal som nu Egypt.
And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Ke Reuben el foloko nu ke luf sac ac liyauk lah Joseph el wangin we, el seya nuknuk lal ke asor.
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30 El folokla nu yurin mwet wial ac fahk, “Tulik sac wanginla in luf sac! Mea nga ac oru uh?”
And he returned unto his brethren, and said: 'The child is not; and as for me, whither shall I go?'
31 Na elos uniya nani soko ac twenya nuknuk lal Joseph ah ke srahn nani soko ah.
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 Elos usla nuknuk sac nu yurin papa tumalos, ac fahk, “Kut konauk nuknuk se inge. Ya ma lun wen se nutum ah?”
and they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said: 'This have we found. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.'
33 El akilenak ac fahk, “Aok, ma lal! Kalem lah kosro sulallal ah unilya. Joseph, wen nutik, el seseyuki!”
And he knew it, and said: 'It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.'
34 Jacob el seya nuknuk lal ke asor, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa. El eoksra ke wen natul ah paht na.
And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Wen natul nukewa ac acn natul nukewa elos fahsreni nu yorol in srike in akfisrasrye asor lal, tuh el tia ku in kutongya asor lal, ac el fahk, “Nga ac asor na ke tulik se inge nwe ke na nga misa.” Ouinge el asor na kacl Joseph, kulo natul. (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said: 'Nay, but I will go down to the grave to my son mourning.' And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 In pacl sac pacna, mwet Midian elos kukakunulla Joseph in acn Egypt nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lun tokosra lun facl Egypt. El pac pa sifen mwet topang su taran inkul lun tokosra.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
