1 Yaaqoob biyya abbaan isaa ture, Kanaʼaan keessa jiraate.
And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land 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] accounts of Jacob Joseph [was] a son of seven-teen year[s] he was shepherding with brothers his the flock and he [was] a youth with [the] sons of Bilhah and with [the] sons of Zilpah [the] wives of father his and he brought Joseph report their bad to father their.
3 Israaʼel waan bara dullumaa keessa isa dhalcheef ilmaan isaa hunda caalaa Yoosefin jaallata ture; innis qoloo faayeffame hojjeteef.
And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
4 Obboloonni isaas yommuu akka abbaan isaanii isaan hunda caalaa isa jaallate hubatanitti Yoosefin jibban; afaan nagaas itti dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.
5 Yoosef abjuu abjootee obboloota isaatti hime; isaanis ittuma caalchisanii isa jibban.
And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
6 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Mee abjuu ani arge kana dhagaʼaa:
And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have 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.”
And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.
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.
And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.
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.”
And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down 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.
And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.
11 Obboloonni isaa isatti hinaafan; abbaan isaa garuu waan kana garaatti qabate.
And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
12 Gaaf tokko obboloonni isaa bushaayee abbaa isaanii Sheekem bira dheechisuu dhaqan;
And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at 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 he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.
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 said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.
15 namichi tokko isa arge; kunoo inni dirree irra jooraa ture; namichi sunis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And he found him a man and there! [he was] wandering in the open country and he asked him the man saying what? are you seeking.
16 Yoosefis deebisee, “Ani obboloota koon barbaada. Ati iddoo isaan bushaayee isaanii dheechisan mee natti himi” jedheen.
And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
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 he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.
18 Isaan garuu fagootti isa arganii isa ajjeesuuf utuu inni isaan bira hin gaʼin mariʼatan.
And they saw him from a distance and just before he drew near to them and they dealt deceptively with him to kill him.
19 Isaanis akkana waliin jedhan; “Kunoo abbaan abjuu sun dhufaa jira!
And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
20 Kottaa ajjeefnee boollawwan as jiran keessaa tokkotti isa gannee bineensa hamaatu isa nyaate jenna. Ergasii immoo abjuun isaa maal akka taʼu ilaalla.”
And now - come and let us kill him and let us throw him in one of the pits and we will say an animal wild it has eaten him and we may see what? will be dreams his.
21 Ruubeen waan kana dhageenyaan isaan harkaa isa baase. Innis akkana jedhe; “Lakkii isa hin ajjeefnu;
And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.
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.
And he said to them - Reuben may not you shed blood throw him into the pit this which [is] in the wilderness and a hand may not you stretch out on him so as to rescue him from hand their to restore him to father his.
23 Yeroo Yoosef obboloota isaa bira gaʼetti isaan qoloo inni uffate, qoloo miidhagaa sana isa irraa baasanii,
And it was just when he came Joseph to brothers his and they stripped Joseph long garment his [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on him.
24 isa fuudhanii boollatti gad darbatan. Boolli sunis duwwaa ture; bishaanis hin qabu ture.
And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.
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.
And they sat down to eat bread and they lifted up eyes their and they saw and there! a caravan of Ishmaelites [was] coming from Gilead and camels their [were] carrying spice and balm and myrrh traveling to take [them] down Egypt towards.
26 Yihuudaanis obboloota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Obboleessa keenya ajjeefnee dhiiga isaa dhoksuun buʼaa maalii nuu qaba?
And he said Judah to brothers his what? [is the] profit if we will kill brother our and we will conceal blood his.
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 us sell him to the Ishmaelites and hand our may not it be on him for [is] brother our flesh our he and they listened brothers his.
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.
And they passed by men Midianite[s] traders and they drew and they brought up Joseph from the pit and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver and they brought Joseph Egypt towards.
29 Ruubeen gara boolla sanaatti deebiʼe; Yoosef boolla sana keessa hin turre; innis uffata ofii isaa tarsaase.
And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.
30 Innis gara obboloota isaa dhaqee, “Gurbichi achi hin jiru! Egaa ani eessan dhaqa?” jedheen.
And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.

And they took [the] long garment of Joseph and they slaughtered a male goat of goats and they dipped the long garment in the blood.

And they sent [the] long garment of the palms and soles and they brought [it] to father their and they said this we have found investigate please ¿ [the] long garment of son your [is] it or? not.

And he recognized it and he said [it is] [the] long garment of son my an animal wild it has eaten him certainly he has been torn to pieces Joseph.
34 Kana irratti Yaaqoob uffata ofii isaa tarsaase; wayyaa gaddaa mudhiitti hidhatee guyyaa baayʼee ilma isaatiif gadde.
And he tore Jacob clothes his and he put sackcloth on loins his and he mourned on son his days many.
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)
