Pirmā Mozus 37
1 Un Jēkabs dzīvoja tai zemē, kur viņa tēvs kā svešinieks bija mitis, Kanaāna zemē.
Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
2 Šie ir Jēkaba radu raksti: Jāzeps, septiņpadsmit gadus vecs būdams, ganīja avis ar saviem brāļiem, un tas zēns bija pie Bilhas un Zilfas, sava tēva sievu, dēliem, un Jāzeps nesa viņu ļauno slavu tēvam priekšā.
This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
3 Un Israēls mīlēja Jāzepu pār visiem saviem bērniem, jo tas viņam bija dzimis vecumā, un viņš tam taisīja raibus svārkus.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a robe of many colors.
4 Un viņa brāļi redzēja, ka tēvs to mīlēja pār visiem viņa brāļiem, un tie to ienīdēja un nevarēja laipni ar to runāt.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Un Jāzeps sapņoja sapni un to stāstīja saviem brāļiem, - tad šie to vēl vairāk ienīdēja.
Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
6 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: klausāties jel šo sapni, ko esmu redzējis.
He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
7 Un redzi, mēs sējām kūlīšus laukā, un redzi, mans kūlītis cēlās un stāvēja, un redzi, jūsu kūlīši apstājušies klanījās pret manu kūlīti.
We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.”
8 Tad viņa brāļi uz to sacīja: vai tu mums paliksi par ķēniņu? Vai tu valdīdams pār mums valdīsi? Un tie vēl vairāk to ienīdēja viņa sapņu un viņa stāstu dēļ.
“Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and his statements.
9 Un tas sapņoja vēl citu sapni un to teica saviem brāļiem un sacīja: redzi, es vēl citu sapni esmu redzējis, un redzi, saule un mēnesis un vienpadsmit zvaigznes klanījās priekš manis.
Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
10 Un kad viņš to stāstīja savam tēvam un saviem brāļiem, tad viņa tēvs to aprāja un uz to sacīja: kas tas par sapni, ko tu esi sapņojis? Vai es un tava māte un tavi brāļi patiesi nāksim pie zemes klanīties tavā priekšā?
He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
11 Un viņa brāļi to skauda, bet viņa tēvs šo vārdu paturēja.
And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
12 Un viņa brāļi gāja ganīt sava tēva lopus Šehemē. Tad Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu:
Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
13 Vai tavi brāļi negana Šehemē? Nāc, es tevi sūtīšu pie tiem; un tas sacīja: redzi, še es esmu. Un viņš uz to sacīja:
Israel said to him, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flocks at Shechem? Get ready; I am sending you to them.” “I am ready,” Joseph replied.
14 Ej jel, lūko, kā taviem brāļiem klājās un kā lopiņiem klājās, un nes man vēsti atpakaļ. Un viņš to izsūtīja no Hebrones ielejas, un tas nāca uz Šehemi.
Then Israel told him, “Go now and see how your brothers and the flocks are faring, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. And when Joseph arrived in Shechem,
15 Un viens vīrs viņu atrada un redzi, viņš maldījās pa lauku; tad tas vīrs to vaicāja sacīdams, ko tu meklē?
a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
16 Un tas sacīja: es meklēju savus brāļus, saki man lūdzams, kur tie gana?
“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
17 Tad tas vīrs sacīja: tie no šejienes aizgājuši, jo es dzirdēju tos sakām: iesim uz Dotanu; un Jāzeps gāja saviem brāļiem pakaļ un atrada tos Dotanā.
“They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18 Un tie to ieraudzīja no tālienes, un pirms tas tuvu pie viņiem atnāca, tie sarunājās viņu nokaut,
Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
19 Un sacīja viens uz otru: redzi, še nāk tas sapņotājs.
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
20 Un nu nāciet, nokausim to un iemetīsim to kādā bedrē un sacīsim: negants zvērs to aprijis; tad redzēsim, kas būs no viņa sapņiem.
“Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”
21 Un Rūbens to dzirdēja un to izpestīja no viņu rokām un sacīja: nenokausim viņu.
When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
22 Un Rūbens uz tiem sacīja: neizlejat asinis, metiet viņu tai bedrē, kas te tuksnesī, un nepieliekat rokas pie viņa, - lai viņš to izpestītu no viņu rokām un pārvestu savam tēvam.
“Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this so that he could rescue Joseph from their hands and return him to his father.
23 Un notikās, kad Jāzeps atnāca pie saviem brāļiem, tad tie Jāzepam novilka svārkus, tos raibos, kas tam bija mugurā.
So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
24 Un tie to ņēma un iemeta bedrē, bet tā bedre bija tukša, un tur ūdens nebija iekšā.
and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
25 Pēc tie apsēdās maizi ēst un pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, Ismaēliešu pulks nāca no Gileādas, un viņu kamieļi nesa dārgas zāles, balzamu un mirres; tie gāja, to nonest uz Ēģipti.
And as they sat down to eat a meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh on their way down to Egypt.
26 Tad Jūda sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: ko tas mums līdz, ja savu brāli nokaujam un viņa asinis slēpjam?
Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
27 Nāciet, pārdosim viņu tiem Ismaēliešiem un nepieliksim savas rokas pie viņa, jo viņš ir mūsu brālis, mūsu miesa. Un viņa brāļi tam klausīja.
Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.
28 Tiem Midianiešu vīriem, tiem tirgotājiem, garām ejot, tie izvilka un izcēla Jāzepu no bedres un pārdeva Jāzepu tiem Ismaēliešiem par divdesmit sudraba gabaliem, un tie aizveda Jāzepu uz Ēģiptes zemi.
So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
29 Un Rūbens gāja atpakaļ pie tās bedres un redzi, Jāzeps nebija bedrē; tad tas saplēsa savas drēbes
When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
30 Un griezās atpakaļ pie saviem brāļiem un sacīja: tā puisēna tur nav un es, - kur man būs palikt?
returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
31 Un tie ņēma Jāzepa svārkus un nokāva āzi un iemērca tos svārkus asinīs.
Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
32 Un nosūtīja tos raibos svārkus un lika tos nonest savam tēvam un sacīja: šos esam atraduši; apraugi jel, vai tie ir tava dēla svārki, vai nē?
They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe or not.”
33 Un tas tos pazina un sacīja: tie ir mana dēla svārki; nikns zvērs viņu ir aprijis, plosīt tas Jāzepu saplosījis.
His father recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
34 Un Jēkabs pārplēsa savas drēbes un apvilka maisu ap saviem gurniem un bēdājās pēc sava dēla ilgu laiku.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Tad visi viņa dēli un visas viņa meitas cēlās, viņu iepriecināt, bet viņš negribējās iepriecinājams būt un sacīja: ar bēdām es noiešu kapā pie sava dēla. Un viņa tēvs to apraudāja. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Un tie Midianieši to pārdeva Ēģiptes zemē Potifaram, ķēniņa Faraona kambarjunkuram un sargu virsniekam.
Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
