Genesisy 37
1 Nitoetse an-tane Kanàne nañialoan-drae’e ao t’Iakòbe.
And Jacob lived in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
2 Ie ty talili’ ty hasavereña’ Iakòbe. Ie nifolo-tao-fito-amby t’Iosefe le niarake añondry mindre amo rahalahi’eo, ie mbe niajalahy naho nindre amo ana’ i Bilhae naho amo ana’ i Zilpae, valin-drae’eo, vaho ninday talily raty iareo aman-drae’e añe t’Iosefe.
And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
3 Nikokoa’ Israele mandikoatse o ana’e iabio t’Iosefe, amy t’ie ty ana’ i haantera’ey vaho namboara’e saroñe lava soa vahotse.
And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours.
4 Ie nioni’ o rahalahi’eo te nisohen-drae’e mandikoatse iareo le nalaim-bintañe aze vaho tsy nahafirehak’ am-panintsiñañe ama’e.
And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceful to him.
5 Teo te nañinofy t’Iosefe, le natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo, f’ie nañìndra ty falai’ iareo aze.
And Joseph dreamt a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
6 Hoe ty asa’e ama’e, Ehe janjiño ty nofy ninofiseko toy.
And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamt.
7 Teo tika namehe taho an-tetek’ ao. Nitroatse amy zao i fehekoy le niadaoro eo, le ingo niariseho ahy ey ty fehe’ areo nibokok’ amy fehe-tahokoy.
I thought you were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Hoe o rahalahi’eo ama’e, Toe ihe hao ty hamelek’ anay? Vata’e hifehe anay v’iheo? Aa le niindra ty falaim-binta’ iareo ty amo nofi’eo naho o asa’eo.
And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us, or shall you indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
9 Nañinofy indraike, vaho natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo. Inao ty nofiko tovo’e: naheoko te nibotrek’ amako i àndroy, i volañey vaho ty vasiañe folo raik’amby.
And he dreamt another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
10 Aa ie natalili’e aman-drae’e naho amo rahalahi’eo le nañendak’ aze ty rae’e ami’ty hoe: Nofy manao akore o nofise’oo? Toe hene hidrakadrakak’ an-tane ama’o hao zahay naho i rene’o vaho o rahalahi’oo?
And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which you have dreamt? shall indeed both I and your mother and your brethren come and bow before you to the earth?
11 Aa le nitsikirìk’ aze o rahalahi’eo, fe nitsakorèn-drae’e i asa’ey.
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 Nañavelo mb’e Sikeme añe o rahalahi’eo hampiandrazeñe i lia-rain-drae’ey.
And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
13 Le hoe t’Israele am’Iosefe, Tsy miarake i lia-raikey e Sikeme añe hao o rahalahi’oo? Antao arè, hiraheko mb’am’iereo mb’eo. Tinoi’e ty hoe, Intoy iraho.
And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
14 Aa le hoe re ama’e, Akia, sario ke mbe soa avao iereo naho mbe soa ka o mpirai-liao; le mibaliha mb’amako mb’etoa aman-talily. Aa le nampihitrife’e mb’eo boak’ am-bavatane’ i Khebrone ao mb’e Sikeme mb’eo,
And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
15 le teo ty ondaty nanjo aze nirererere an-kivok’ ey, vaho nañontanea’ indatiy, Ino ty paia’o.
And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
16 Mipay o rahalahikoo ‘ni-raho, hoe re, Ehe, ampahafohino ahy ty fiandraza’ iareo añondry.
And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
17 Hoe indatiy, Fa nienga iereo, Inao ty tsinanoko am’ iereo, Antao ho mb’e Dotane mb’eo. Aa le nihitrike mb’ amo rahalahi’eo re vaho tendrek’ am’iereo e Dotane añe.
And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
18 Nitalakese’ iereo, le ie mbe tsy marine ro nikilily hañohofan-doza ama’e.
And they spied him from a distance before he drew near to them, and they wickedly took counsel to kill him.
19 Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Hehe, mb’etoa i mpañinofiy,
And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
20 antao arè hamono aze naho hagodon-tika an-kadaha ao; naho hatalilin-tika te nabotse’ ty biby romotse, vaho ho onin-tika ty figadoña’ o nofi’eo.
Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
21 F’ie jinanji’ i Reòbene, le navotso’e am-pità’ iareo ami’ty hoe, Tsy hamitak’ ate aze tika.
And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
22 Tinovo’ i Reòbene am’iereo ty hoe, Ko mampiori-dio; afetsaho an-kadaha an-jerezere tane atoy, fa ko mipao-tañañe ama’e—ie te hamotsotse aze am-pità’ iareo hampolia’e aman-drae’e.
And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
23 Aa naho pok’ amo rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le hinalo’ iareo am’ Iosefe i saro’ey, i saroñe lava ama’ey,
And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
24 le rinambe’ iereo vaho nafetsa’ iereo an-kadaha ao. Nikapaike i kadahay, tsy aman-drano.
And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
25 Niambesatse amy zao iereo nikama; fa ie nampiandra fihaino le nahaisake lia-rain-te-Iesmaèle nangovovòke boak’ e Gileade añe an-drameva ninday fisomantsaike naho fihosotse vaho lite, nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo.
And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they saw, and behold, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
26 Le hoe t’Ièhodà amo rahalahi’eo, Ino ty tombo’e ho an-tika te vonoeñe i rahalahin-tikañey naho etaheñe i lio’ey?
And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Antao handetak’ aze amo nte-Iesmaèleo le tsy hampidoñan-tañantika, amy te rahalahintika, toe nofon-tikañe. Le nihaoñe’ o rahalahi’eo.
Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren listened.
28 Ie nim-beo o mpanao takinake nte-Midianeo le tinari’ iereo, nañakatse Iosefe amy kadahay vaho naleta’ iereo volafoty roapolo amo nte-Iesmaèleo vaho nendese’ iareo mb’e Mitsraime añe t’Iosefe.
And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
29 Nibalike mb’amy kadahay mb’eo t’i Reòbene naho naheo’e te tsy an-kadaha ao t’Iosefe, vaho rinia’e o saro’eo.
And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he tore his garments.
30 Nivalike mb’amo rahalahi’eo re nanao ty hoe, Tsy eo i ajalahiy, le izaho! aia ty hombako?
And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
31 Aa le rinambe’ iareo i saro’ey, le nandenta vik’ose, vaho nalo’ iareo ami’ty lio’e ao i saroñey.
And having taken the coat of Joseph, they killed a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
32 Nahitrik’ añe i saro-vinahotsey, naho nendese’ iareo aman-drae’e ami’ty hoe, Ingo ty nizoe’ay, ehe vazoho ke ie i saron’ ana’oy, ke tsie.
And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be your son's coat or no. And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
33 Napota’e, le nanao ty hoe, Saron’ anako toy! Navorembore’ ty biby hako, tsy mikalafo te rinomidromitse t’Iosefe.
34 Rinia’ Iakòbe amy zao o saro’eo naho nisadia gony vaho nandala i ana-dahi’ey andro maro.
And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Hene niongake hañohoñe aze o ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’e iabio, f’ie nifoneñe tsy hohoñeñe, ami’ty hoe, Aiy, hizotso mb’an-tsikeokeoke mb’ aman’ ana-dahiko iraho an-kontoke. Izay ty fangoihoian-drae’e aze; (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Toe naleta’ o nte-Midianeo e Mitsraime añe re, amy Potifare, roandria’ i Parò, talèm-pigaritse.
And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
