پیدایش 37
| و یعقوب در زمین غربت پدر خود، یعنی زمین کنعان ساکن شد. | ۱ 1 |
Jacob continued to live in the Canaan region where his father had lived previously.
| این است پیدایش یعقوب. چون یوسف هفده ساله بود، گله را با برادران خود چوپانی می‌کرد. و آن جوان باپسران بلهه و پسران زلفه، زنان پدرش، می‌بود. ویوسف از بدسلوکی ایشان پدر را خبر می‌داد. | ۲ 2 |
(This is/I will now tell you) what happened to Jacob’s family. When his son Joseph was 17 years old, he was taking care of the flocks of sheep and goats with some of his older brothers. They were sons of his father’s (concubines/female slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives). Joseph sometimes told his father about bad things that his brothers were doing.
| واسرائیل، یوسف را از سایر پسران خود بیشتردوست داشتی، زیرا که او پسر پیری او بود، وبرایش ردایی بلند ساخت. | ۳ 3 |
Jacob loved Joseph more than he loved any of his other children, because Joseph had been born when Jacob was an old man. Jacob made for Joseph a long pretty robe that had long sleeves.
| و چون برادرانش دیدند که پدر ایشان، او را بیشتر از همه برادرانش دوست می‌دارد، از او کینه داشتند، ونمی توانستند با وی به سلامتی سخن گویند. | ۴ 4 |
When Joseph’s older brothers realized that their father loved him more than he loved any of them, they hated him. They never spoke kindly to him.
| ویوسف خوابی دیده، آن را به برادران خود بازگفت. پس بر کینه او افزودند. | ۵ 5 |
One night Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about the dream.
| و بدیشان گفت: «این خوابی را که دیده‌ام، بشنوید: | ۶ 6 |
He said to them, “Listen to the dream I had!
| اینک ما در مزرعه بافه‌ها می‌بستیم، که ناگاه بافه من برپا شده، بایستاد، و بافه های شماگرد آمده، به بافه من سجده کردند.» | ۷ 7 |
In the dream, we were tying up bundles of wheat in the field. Suddenly my bundle stood up straight, and surprisingly, your bundles gathered around my bundle and bowed down to it!”
| برادرانش به وی گفتند: «آیا فی الحقیقه بر ماسلطنت خواهی کرد؟ و بر ما مسلط خواهی شد؟» و بسبب خوابها و سخنانش بر کینه او افزودند. | ۸ 8 |
His brothers said to him, “Do you think that some day you will rule over us? Are you [saying that some day] you are going to be our king?” [RHQ] They hated him even more than before because of what he had told them about his dream.
| از آن پس خوابی دیگر دید، و برادران خود را ازآن خبر داده، گفت: «اینک باز خوابی دیده‌ام، که ناگاه آفتاب و ماه و یازده ستاره مرا سجده کردند.» | ۹ 9 |
Later he had another dream, and again he told his older brothers about it. He said, “Listen to this! I had another dream. In this dream, the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me!”
| و پدر و برادران خود را خبر داد، وپدرش او را توبیخ کرده، بوی گفت: «این چه خوابی است که دیده‌ای؟ آیا من و مادرت وبرادرانت حقیقت خواهیم آمد و تو را بر زمین سجده خواهیم نمود؟» | ۱۰ 10 |
He also told his father about it. His father rebuked him, saying “What are you suggesting by that dream [RHQ]? Do you think it means that your mother and I and your older brothers will some day bow down to the ground in front of you?” [RHQ]
| و برادرانش بر او حسدبردند، و اما پدرش، آن امر را در خاطر نگاه داشت. | ۱۱ 11 |
Joseph’s older brothers were furious/angry with him, but his father just kept thinking about what the dream meant.
| و برادرانش برای چوپانی گله پدر خود، به شکیم رفتند. | ۱۲ 12 |
One day Joseph’s older brothers went to take care of their father’s sheep and goats that were eating grass near Shechem.
| و اسرائیل به یوسف گفت: «آیابرادرانت در شکیم چوپانی نمی کنند، بیا تا تو رانزد ایشان بفرستم.» وی را گفت: «لبیک.» | ۱۳ 13 |
Some time later, Jacob said to Joseph, “Your brothers are taking care of the sheep and goats near Shechem [RHQ]. I am going to send you there to see them.” Joseph replied, “Okay.”
| او راگفت: «الان برو و سلامتی برادران و سلامتی گله را ببین و نزد من خبر بیاور.» و او را از وادی حبرون فرستاد، و به شکیم آمد. | ۱۴ 14 |
Jacob said, “Go and see if they are doing okay, and if the flocks are doing okay. Then come back and give me a report.” So Jacob sent Joseph from [the valley where they were living], the valley where Hebron is located, [to go north] to find his brothers. When Joseph arrived near Shechem [city],
| و شخصی به اوبرخورد، و اینک، او در صحرا آواره می‌بود، پس آن شخص از او پرسیده، گفت: «چه می‌طلبی؟» | ۱۵ 15 |
while he was wandering around in the fields looking/searching for his brothers, a man saw him and asked him, “Whom are you looking/searching for?”
| گفت: «من برادران خود را می‌جویم، مرا خبرده که کجا چوپانی می‌کنند.» | ۱۶ 16 |
Joseph replied, “I am looking for my older brothers. Can you tell me where they are taking care of their sheep and goats?”
| آن مرد گفت: «ازاینجا روانه شدند، زیرا شنیدیم که می‌گفتند: به دوتان می‌رویم.» پس یوسف از عقب برادران خود رفته، ایشان را در دوتان یافت. | ۱۷ 17 |
The man replied, “They are not here any more. I heard one of them saying, ‘Let’s take the sheep and goats and go to Dothan [town].’” So Joseph left there and went north, and found his older brothers near Dothan.
| و او را ازدور دیدند، و قبل از آنکه نزدیک ایشان بیاید، باهم توطئه دیدند که اورا بکشند. | ۱۸ 18 |
But they saw him when he was still far away, and they decided to kill him.
| و به یکدیگر گفتند: «اینک این صاحب خوابها می‌آید. | ۱۹ 19 |
They said to each other [things like], “Here comes that dreamer!”
| اکنون بیایید او را بکشیم، و به یکی از این چاهها بیندازیم، و گوییم جانوری درنده او را خورد. و ببینیم خوابهایش چه می‌شود.» | ۲۰ 20 |
and “Hey, let’s kill him, and then throw his body into one of the pits/cisterns. Then we will tell people that a ferocious/wild animal attacked and killed him and ate him. And then we will (find out whether his dreams come true/make sure that his dreams do not come true)!”
| لیکن روبین چون این را شنید، او را از دست ایشان رهانیده، گفت: «او را نکشیم.» | ۲۱ 21 |
Reuben heard what they were saying, so he tried to persuade them not to kill [MTY] Joseph. He said, “No, we should not kill him.
| پس روبین بدیشان گفت: «خون مریزید، او را در این چاه که در صحراست، بیندازید، و دست خود رابر او دراز مکنید.» تا او را از دست ایشان رهانیده، به پدر خود رد نماید. | ۲۲ 22 |
Do not even shed his blood! We can throw him into this pit/cistern in the desert, but we should not harm him [MTY].” He said that, and then left them, planning to rescue Joseph later and take him back to his father.
| و به مجرد رسیدن یوسف نزد برادران خود، رختش را یعنی آن ردای بلند را که دربرداشت، از او کندند. | ۲۳ 23 |
So when Joseph arrived where his older brothers were, they seized him and ripped off his pretty robe with long sleeves.
| و او را گرفته، درچاه انداختند، اما چاه، خالی و بی‌آب بود. | ۲۴ 24 |
Then they took him and threw him into the pit/cistern. But the pit/cistern was dry; there was no water in it.
| پس برای غذا خوردن نشستند، و چشمان خود را باز کرده، دیدند که ناگاه قافله اسماعیلیان از جلعاد می‌رسد، و شتران ایشان کتیرا و بلسان ولادن، بار دارند، و می‌روند تا آنها را به مصر ببرند. | ۲۵ 25 |
After they sat down to eat some food, they looked up and saw a (caravan/group [of traders]), descendants of Ishmael, coming from the Gilead area. Their camels were loaded with bags of spices and nice-smelling resins. They were going down to Egypt to sell those things there.
| آنگاه یهودا به برادران خود گفت: «برادر خودرا کشتن و خون او را مخفی داشتن چه سود دارد؟ | ۲۶ 26 |
Judah said to his [older and younger] brothers, “If we kill our younger brother and hide his body, (what will we gain?/we will not gain anything!) [RHQ]
| بیایید او را به این اسماعیلیان بفروشیم، ودست ما بر وی نباشد، زیرا که او برادر و گوشت ماست.» پس برادرانش بدین رضا دادند. | ۲۷ 27 |
So, instead of harming him, let’s sell him to these men who are descendants of Ishmael. Don’t forget, he is our own younger brother!” So they all agreed to do that.
| و چون تجار مدیانی در گذر بودند، یوسف را از چاه کشیده، برآوردند، و یوسف را به اسماعیلیان به بیست پاره نقره فروختند. پس یوسف را به مصر بردند. | ۲۸ 28 |
When those traders from the Midian area came near, Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the pit/cistern. Then they sold him to the men from Midian for 20 pieces of silver. The traders then took Joseph to Egypt.
| و روبین چون به‌سرچاه برگشت، و دید که یوسف در چاه نیست، جامه خود را چاک زد، | ۲۹ 29 |
When Reuben returned to the pit/cistern, he saw that his younger brother was not there. He was so grieved that he tore his clothes.
| و نزد برادران خودبازآمد و گفت: «طفل نیست و من کجا بروم؟» | ۳۰ 30 |
He went back to his [younger] brothers and said, “The boy is not in the pit/cistern! What can I do now?” [RHQ]
| پس ردای یوسف را گرفتند، و بز نری راکشته، ردا را در خونش فرو بردند. | ۳۱ 31 |
[Joseph’s brothers did not dare to tell their father what they had done. So, they decided to invent a story about what had happened]. They got Joseph’s robe. Then they killed a goat and dipped the robe in the goat’s blood.
| و آن ردای بلند را فرستادند و به پدر خود رسانیده، گفتند: «این را یافته‌ایم، تشخیص کن که ردای پسرت است یا نه.» | ۳۲ 32 |
They took that pretty robe back to their father and said, “We found this robe! Look at it. Is it your son’s robe?”
| پس آن را شناخته، گفت: «ردای پسر من است! جانوری درنده او را خورده است، و یقین یوسف دریده شده است.» | ۳۳ 33 |
He recognized it, and he said, “Yes, it is my son’s robe! Some ferocious/wild animal must have attacked and killed him! I am sure that the animal has torn Joseph to pieces!”
| و یعقوب رخت خود را پاره کرده، پلاس دربر کرد، وروزهای بسیار برای پسر خود ماتم گرفت. | ۳۴ 34 |
Jacob was so grieved that he tore his clothes. He put on (sackcloth/clothes that people wear when they are mourning for someone who has died). He mourned/cried for his son for many days.
| وهمه پسران و همه دخترانش به تسلی اوبرخاستند. اما تسلی نپذیرفت، و گفت: «سوگوارنزد پسر خود به گور فرود می‌روم.» پس پدرش برای وی همی گریست. (Sheol h7585) | ۳۵ 35 |
All of his children came to try to comfort him, but he did not pay attention to what they said. He said, “No, I will still be mourning/crying when I die and go to be with my son.” So Joseph’s father continued to cry because of what had happened to his son. (Sheol h7585)
| اما مدیانیان، یوسف را در مصر، به فوطیفار که خواجه فرعون و سردارافواج خاصه بود، فروختند. | ۳۶ 36 |
In the meantime, the men/traders from Midian took Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, who was one of the king’s officials. He was the captain of the soldiers who protected the king.
