Uumama 37
1 Yaaqoob biyya abbaan isaa ture, Kanaʼaan keessa jiraate.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Seenaan maatii Yaaqoob kana. Yoosef yeroo dargaggeessa waggaa kudha torba turetti obboloota isaa, ilmaan niitota abbaa isaa jechuunis ilmaan Bilihaatii fi Zilfaa wajjin bushaayee tiksa ture; innis waaʼee obboloota isaa oduu hamaa abbaa isaatiif fide.
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 Israaʼel waan bara dullumaa keessa isa dhalcheef ilmaan isaa hunda caalaa Yoosefin jaallata ture; innis qoloo faayeffame hojjeteef.
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Obboloonni isaas yommuu akka abbaan isaanii isaan hunda caalaa isa jaallate hubatanitti Yoosefin jibban; afaan nagaas itti dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 Yoosef abjuu abjootee obboloota isaatti hime; isaanis ittuma caalchisanii isa jibban.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Mee abjuu ani arge kana dhagaʼaa:
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 Nu lafa qotiisaa keessatti bissii midhaanii hidhaa ture; kunoo, bissiin koo ol jedhee dhaabate; bissiiwwan keessan immoo bissii kootti naannaʼanii gad jedhanii sagadaniif.”
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Obboloonni isaas, “Ati nu irratti mootii taʼuu barbaaddaa? Dhugumaan situ nu bulchaa?” jedhaniin. Isaanis sababii abjuu isaatii fi sababii waan inni dubbateetiif ittuma caalchisanii isa jibban.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 Ergasiis abjuu biraa abjootee obboloota isaatti hime. Akkanas jedheen; “Kunoo, ani abjuu biraa abjoodheera; aduu fi jiʼi, urjiiwwan kudha tokkos gad jedhanii naa sagadu.”
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 Yommuu inni waan kana abbaa isaatii fi obboloota isaatti himetti abbaan isaa, “Abjuun ati abjootte kun maali? Ani, haati keetii fi obboloonni kee dhugumaan dhufnee fuula kee duratti gad jennee siif sagadnaa?” jedhee isatti dheekkame.
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Obboloonni isaa isatti hinaafan; abbaan isaa garuu waan kana garaatti qabate.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Gaaf tokko obboloonni isaa bushaayee abbaa isaanii Sheekem bira dheechisuu dhaqan;
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 Israaʼelis Yoosefiin, “Akkuma ati beektu obboloonni kee Sheekem bira bushaayee dheechisaa jiru. Mee kottu ani gara isaaniitti si ergaa” jedhe. Yoosefis, “Kunoo asan jira” jedheen.
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 Israaʼel immoo, “Mee dhaqiitii akka obboloonni kee, bushaayeenis nagaa taʼanii fi akka hin taʼin ilaaliitii deebiʼii natti himi” jedheen. Innis akkasiin Sulula Kebrooniitii Sheekemitti isa erge. Yoosefis Sheekem gaʼe;
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 namichi tokko isa arge; kunoo inni dirree irra jooraa ture; namichi sunis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedhee isa gaafate.
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Yoosefis deebisee, “Ani obboloota koon barbaada. Ati iddoo isaan bushaayee isaanii dheechisan mee natti himi” jedheen.
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Namichis deebisee, “Isaan asii deemaniiru; ani ‘Gara Dootaan haa dhaqnu’ jechuu isaanii dhagaʼeera” jedhe. Yoosefis obboloota isaa duukaa buʼee Dotaayin biratti isaan argate.
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Isaan garuu fagootti isa arganii isa ajjeesuuf utuu inni isaan bira hin gaʼin mariʼatan.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 Isaanis akkana waliin jedhan; “Kunoo abbaan abjuu sun dhufaa jira!
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 Kottaa ajjeefnee boollawwan as jiran keessaa tokkotti isa gannee bineensa hamaatu isa nyaate jenna. Ergasii immoo abjuun isaa maal akka taʼu ilaalla.”
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 Ruubeen waan kana dhageenyaan isaan harkaa isa baase. Innis akkana jedhe; “Lakkii isa hin ajjeefnu;
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 dhiiga hin dhangalaasinaa. Gammoojjii keessatti boolla kana keessa isa buusaa malee harka keessaniin isa hin tuqinaa.” Ruubeen isaan harkaa isa baasee gara abbaa isaatti isa deebisuuf akkana jedhe.
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Yeroo Yoosef obboloota isaa bira gaʼetti isaan qoloo inni uffate, qoloo miidhagaa sana isa irraa baasanii,
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 isa fuudhanii boollatti gad darbatan. Boolli sunis duwwaa ture; bishaanis hin qabu ture.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Obboloonni isaa buddeena nyaachuuf tataaʼan; ol jedhaniis kunoo, daldaltoota warra Ishmaaʼeel kanneen Giliʼaadii dhufaa jiran argan. Isaanis urgooftuu, haphee dibataatii fi qumbii gaalawwan isaaniitti feʼatanii Gibxitti geessaa turan.
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 Yihuudaanis obboloota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Obboleessa keenya ajjeefnee dhiiga isaa dhoksuun buʼaa maalii nuu qaba?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Kottaa Ishmaaʼeelootatti isa gurgurra malee harka keenyaan isa hin tuqnuu; inni obboleessa keenyaa fi foon keenya.” Obboloonni isaas yaada kana fudhatan.
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 Yommuu daldaltoonni Midiyaan achiin darbuuf dhufanittis obboloonni Yoosef boolla keessaa harkisanii ol isa baasanii meetii saqilii digdamaatti Ishmaaʼeelootatti isa gurguratan; jarris Gibxitti isa geessan.
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 Ruubeen gara boolla sanaatti deebiʼe; Yoosef boolla sana keessa hin turre; innis uffata ofii isaa tarsaase.
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 Innis gara obboloota isaa dhaqee, “Gurbichi achi hin jiru! Egaa ani eessan dhaqa?” jedheen.
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Isaanis qoloo Yoosef fuudhanii reʼee tokko qalanii qoloo sana dhiiga keessa cuuphan.
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Qoloo miidhagaa sanas abbaa isaaniitti geessanii, “Nu qoloo kana arganneerra; mee qoloo ilma keetii taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaa ilaali” jedhan.
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 Innis qoloo sana beekee, “Kun qoloo ilma kootii ti! Bineensa hamaatu isa nyaate. Dhugumaan Yoosef ciccirameera” jedhe.
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Kana irratti Yaaqoob uffata ofii isaa tarsaase; wayyaa gaddaa mudhiitti hidhatee guyyaa baayʼee ilma isaatiif gadde.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 Ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundinuu isa jajjabeessuuf kaʼan; inni garuu jajjabaachuu didee, “Lakkii ani gaddaa gara ilma koo siiʼoolitti gad buʼa” jedhe. Akkasiin abbaan isaa ni booʼeef. (Sheol h7585)
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Gidduu sana warri Midiyaan sun Gibxi keessatti Phoxiifaaraa namicha qondaaltota Faraʼoon keessaa tokko ture kan ajajaa waardiyyaa taʼe tokkotti Yoosefin gurguratan.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
