< Genesisy 37 >

1 Ary Jakoba nonina tany amin’ ny tany fivahinian’ ny rainy, dia tany amin’ ny tany Kanana.
And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
2 Ary izao no tantaran’ i Jakoba: Rehefa fito ambin’ ny folo taona Josefa, dia niara-niandry ondry tamin’ ny rahalahiny izy (fa mbola zaza izy), dia tamin’ ny zanak’ i Bila sy ny zanak’ i Zilpa, vadin’ i Jakoba rainy; ary Josefa nitati-bolana tamin-drainy.
These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
3 Ary tian’ Isiraely mihoatra noho ny zanany rehetra Josefa, satria zanaky ny fahanterany izy, ka nanaovany akanjo lava.
And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
4 Ary nony hitan’ ny rahalahiny fa Josefa no tian’ ny rainy mihoatra noho izy mirahalahy avy, dia nankahala azy izy ka tsy nahazaka hanao teny tsara taminy.
and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
5 Ary nanonofy Josefa, ka nambarany tamin’ ireo rahalahiny; dia vao mainka nankahalany azy izany.
And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
6 Fa efa nilaza taminy hoe izy: Mba henoy kely ange izao nofy izao:
And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Indro, namehy amboara tany an-tsaha isika, ary, indro, niarina ny amboarako sady nijoro; ary, indreo, nilahatra manodidina kosa ny amboaranareo ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny amboarako.
that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
8 Ary hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Moa hanjaka aminay tokoa va ianao? na hanapaka anay tokoa va ianao? Ary izany nofiny sy teniny izany dia vao mainka nankahalany azy.
And his brethren say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
9 Ary nanonofy indray izy ka nolazainy tamin’ ny rahalahiny; dia hoy izy: Indro, nanonofy indray aho; ary, indreo, ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana iraika ambin’ ny folo niankohoka teo anatrehako.
And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.'
10 Ary nambarany tamin’ ny rainy sy ireo rahalahiny koa izany; dia niteny mafy azy ny rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manao ahoana izany nofy efa nonofisinao izany? Moa ho avy tokoa va aho sy ny reninao ary ny rahalahinao ka hiankohoka amin’ ny tany eo anatrehanao?
And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
11 Dia nialona azy ny rahalahiny; fa ny rainy kosa nitadidy izany zavatra izany.
and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
12 Ary lasa ny rahalahiny niandry ny ondrin’ ny rainy tany Sekema.
And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
13 Ary hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa: Tsy miandry ondry any Sekema va ny rahalahinao? Avia mba hirahiko hankany aminy ianao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Inty Aho.
and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
14 Ary hoy ny rainy taminy: Masìna ianao, andeha, izahao na tsara ihany ny rahalahinao sy ny ondry aman’ osy, na manao ahoana; ka miverena hilaza amiko. Dia nirahiny hiala avy teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Hebrona izy, dia nankany Sekema.
and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
15 Ary nisy lehilahy nahita azy, fa, indro, nirenireny tany an-tsaha izy; dia nanontany azy ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Inona moa notadiavinao?
And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
16 Dia hoy kosa izy: Ny rahalahiko no tadiaviko; koa masìna ianao, mba lazao amiko izay iandrasany ondry.
and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
17 Ary hoy ralehilahy: Efa nifindra niala teto izy: fa efa reko izy niresaka hoe: Andeha isika hankany Dotana. Dia lasa Josefa nanaraka ny rahalahiny ka nahita azy tany Dotana.
And the man saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
18 Ary nahatazana azy eny lavidavitra eny ny rahalahiny; koa raha tsy mbola nanakaiky azy Josefa, dia niray tetika hamono azy izy.
And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
19 Dia niresaka hoe izy: Indro, tamy ilay mpanonofy.
And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
20 Koa ankehitriny, andeha hovonointsika izy ka hatsipintsika ao anatin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto lavaka ireto; ary dia aoka holazaintsika hoe: Efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; dia ho hitantsika amin’ izany na hanao ahoana ny nofiny.
and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
21 Ary Robena nandre izany, dia namonjy azy tamin’ ny tànany ka nanao hoe: Aza dia mamono ny ainy isika.
And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
22 Ary hoy koa Robena taminy: Aoka tsy handatsa-drà ianareo; atsipazo ao anatin’ io lavaka etỳ an-efitra io izy, fa aza misy maninji-tanana aminy ianareo, mba hamonjeny azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny rahalahiny hitondrany azy any amin’ ny rainy indray.
and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
23 Ary rehefa tonga teo amin’ ny rahalahiny Josefa, dia nendahany ny akanjony, dia ilay akanjo lava teny aminy;
And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
24 dia nobetainy izy ka natsipiny tao an-davaka; ary maina ny lavaka tamin’ izay, fa tsy nisy rano tao.
and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
25 Ary nipetraka nihinan-kanina izy ireo, ary sendra nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa, indreo, nisy Isimaelita niara-dia, avy tany Gileada, ary ny ramevany nitondra ditin-kazo, dia nekota sy balsama ary lota, izay nentiny hidina any Egypta.
And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
26 Ary hoy Joda tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Inona no soa ho azontsika, raha hamono ny rahalahintsika sy hanafina ny ràny isika?
And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
27 Andeha hamidintsika amin’ ireo Isimaelita ireo izy, ary aoka tsy haninona azy ny tanantsika; fa rahalahintsika sy nofontsika ihany izy. Dia nanaiky ny rahalahiny.
Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
28 Ary raha nandalo teo ny Midianita mpandranto, dia nakarin’ ny rahalahiny niala tao an-davaka Josefa ka namidiny sekely volafotsy roa-polo tamin’ ny Isimaelita; ary dia nitondra an’ i Josefa ho any Egypta ireo.
And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
29 Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny lavaka Robena, ka, indro, tsy tao an-davaka intsony Josefa; dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy.
And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
30 Dia niverina nankeo amin’ ny rahalahiny izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy ao ny zaza, ary izaho, aiza no halehako?
and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
31 Ary nalain’ ireo rahalahiny ilay akanjon’ i Josefa, dia namono zanak’ osy izy, ka natsobony tamin’ ny rà ny akanjo.
And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
32 Dia nampanateriny ho any amin’ ny rainy ilay akanjo, sady hoy no filazany azy: Ity no efa hitanay; koa fantaro na akanjon’ ny zanakao ity, na tsia?
and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?'
33 Dia fantany, ka hoy izy: Akanjon’ ny zanako io: efa lanin’ ny biby masiaka izy; voaviravira tokoa Josefa.
And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
34 Ary Jakoba dia nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nisikina lamba fisaonana tamin’ ny valahany; ary nisaona ny zanany andro maro.
And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
35 Dia avy ny zananilahy rehetra sy ny zananivavy rehetra mba hampionona azy, fa tsy nety nampiononina izy, fa hoy izy; Tsia, fa hidina misaona ho any amin’ ny zanako any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita aho. Ary dia mbola nitomany azy ny rainy. (Sheol h7585)
and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Ary ny Midianita nivarotra an’ i Josefa tany Egypta tamin’ i Potifara, tandapan’ i Farao sady mpifehy ny mpiambina.
And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
