Pirmā Mozus 37
1 Un Jēkabs dzīvoja tai zemē, kur viņa tēvs kā svešinieks bija mitis, Kanaāna zemē.
Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in 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 history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.
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 all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colours.
4 Un viņa brāļi redzēja, ka tēvs to mīlēja pār visiem viņa brāļiem, un tie to ienīdēja un nevarēja laipni ar to runāt.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Un Jāzeps sapņoja sapni un to stāstīja saviem brāļiem, - tad šie to vēl vairāk ienīdēja.
Joseph dreamt a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: klausāties jel šo sapni, ko esmu redzējis.
He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamt:
7 Un redzi, mēs sējām kūlīšus laukā, un redzi, mans kūlītis cēlās un stāvēja, un redzi, jūsu kūlīši apstājušies klanījās pret manu kūlīti.
for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”
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.
His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.
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.
He dreamt yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamt yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed 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 it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamt? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 Un viņa brāļi to skauda, bet viņa tēvs šo vārdu paturēja.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 Un viņa brāļi gāja ganīt sava tēva lopus Šehemē. Tad Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu:
His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in 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 Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
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.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 Un viens vīrs viņu atrada un redzi, viņš maldījās pa lauku; tad tas vīrs to vaicāja sacīdams, ko tu meklē?
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Un tas sacīja: es meklēju savus brāļus, saki man lūdzams, kur tie gana?
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
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.
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Un tie to ieraudzīja no tālienes, un pirms tas tuvu pie viņiem atnāca, tie sarunājās viņu nokaut,
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 Un sacīja viens uz otru: redzi, še nāk tas sapņotājs.
They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
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 therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”
21 Un Rūbens to dzirdēja un to izpestīja no viņu rokām un sacīja: nenokausim viņu.
Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
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.
Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 Un notikās, kad Jāzeps atnāca pie saviem brāļiem, tad tie Jāzepam novilka svārkus, tos raibos, kas tam bija mugurā.
When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colours that was on him;
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. The pit was empty. There was 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.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Tad Jūda sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: ko tas mums līdz, ja savu brāli nokaujam un viņa asinis slēpjam?
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal 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, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
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.
Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Un Rūbens gāja atpakaļ pie tās bedres un redzi, Jāzeps nebija bedrē; tad tas saplēsa savas drēbes
Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 Un griezās atpakaļ pie saviem brāļiem un sacīja: tā puisēna tur nav un es, - kur man būs palikt?
He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Un tie ņēma Jāzepa svārkus un nokāva āzi un iemērca tos svārkus asinīs.
They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the 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 took the tunic of many colours, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 Un tas tos pazina un sacīja: tie ir mana dēla svārki; nikns zvērs viņu ir aprijis, plosīt tas Jāzepu saplosījis.
He recognised it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”
34 Un Jēkabs pārplēsa savas drēbes un apvilka maisu ap saviem gurniem un bēdājās pēc sava dēla ilgu laiku.
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on 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 all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Un tie Midianieši to pārdeva Ēģiptes zemē Potifaram, ķēniņa Faraona kambarjunkuram un sargu virsniekam.
The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
