Ӂенеза 37
1 Иаков а локуит ын цара Канаан, унде локуисе ка стрэин татэл сэу.
Jacob continued to live in the Canaan region where his father had lived previously.
2 Ятэ история луй Иаков: Иосиф, ла вырста де шаптеспрезече ань, пэштя оиле ку фраций луй; бэятул ачеста ера ку фиий Билхей ши ку фиий Зилпей, невестеле татэлуй сэу. Ши Иосиф спуня татэлуй лор ворбеле лор челе реле.
(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.
3 Исраел юбя пе Иосиф май мулт декыт пе тоць чейлалць фий ай сэй, пентру кэ ыл нэскусе ла бэтрынеце, ши й-а фэкут о хайнэ пестрицэ.
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.
4 Фраций луй ау вэзут кэ татэл лор ыл юбя май мулт декыт пе ей тоць ши ау ынчепут сэ-л ураскэ. Ну путяу сэ-й спунэ ничо ворбэ приетеняскэ.
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.
5 Иосиф а висат ун вис ши л-а историсит фрацилор сэй, каре л-ау урыт ши май мулт.
One night Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about the dream.
6 Ел ле-а зис: „Я аскултаць че вис ам висат!
He said to them, “Listen to the dream I had!
7 Ной ерам ла легатул снопилор ын мижлокул кымпулуй ши ятэ кэ снопул меу с-а ридикат ши а стат ын пичоаре, яр снопий воштри л-ау ынконжурат ши с-ау арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт ынаинтя луй.”
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!”
8 Фраций луй й-ау зис: „Доар н-ай сэ ымпэрэцешть ту песте ной? Доар н-ай сэ не кырмуешть ту пе ной?” Ши л-ау урыт ши май мулт дин причина виселор луй ши дин причина кувинтелор луй.
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.
9 Иосиф а май висат ун алт вис ши л-а историсит фрацилор сэй. Ел а зис: „Ам май висат ун вис! Соареле, луна ши унспрезече стеле се арункау ку фаца ла пэмынт ынаинтя мя.”
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!”
10 Л-а историсит татэлуй сэу ши фрацилор сэй. Татэл сэу л-а мустрат ши й-а зис: „Че ынсямнэ висул ачеста пе каре л-ай висат? Ну кумва вом вени еу, мама та ши фраций тэй сэ не арункэм ку фаца ла пэмынт ынаинтя та?”
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]
11 Фраций сэй ау ынчепут сэ-л пизмуяскэ, дар татэл сэу а цинут минте лукруриле ачестя.
Joseph’s older brothers were furious/angry with him, but his father just kept thinking about what the dream meant.
12 Фраций луй Иосиф се дусесерэ ла Сихем, ка сэ паскэ оиле татэлуй лор.
One day Joseph’s older brothers went to take care of their father’s sheep and goats that were eating grass near Shechem.
13 Исраел а зис луй Иосиф: „Фраций тэй паск оиле ла Сихем! Вино, кэч вряу сэ те тримит ла ей.” „Ятэ-мэ, сунт гата”, а рэспунс ел.
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.”
14 Исраел й-а зис: „Ду-те, рогу-те, ши везь дакэ фраций тэй сунт сэнэтошь ши дакэ оиле сунт бине ши аду-мь вешть.” Л-а тримис астфел дин Валя Хебронулуй ши Иосиф а ажунс ла Сихем.
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],
15 Пе кынд рэтэчя пе кымп, л-а ынтылнит ун ом. Омул ачела л-а ынтребат: „Че кауць?”
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?”
16 „Каут пе фраций мей”, а рэспунс Иосиф. „Спуне-мь, те рог, унде паск ей оиле?”
Joseph replied, “I am looking for my older brothers. Can you tell me where they are taking care of their sheep and goats?”
17 Ши омул ачела а зис: „Ау плекат де аич, кэч й-ам аузит спунынд: ‘Хайдем ла Дотан.’” Иосиф с-а дус дупэ фраций сэй ши й-а гэсит ла Дотан.
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.
18 Ей л-ау зэрит де департе ши, пынэ сэ се апропие де ей, с-ау сфэтуит сэ-л омоаре.
But they saw him when he was still far away, and they decided to kill him.
19 Ей ау зис унул кэтре алтул: „Ятэ кэ вине фэуриторул де висе!
They said to each other [things like], “Here comes that dreamer!”
20 Вениць акум, сэ-л оморым ши сэ-л арункэм ынтр-уна дин ачесте гропь; вом спуне кэ л-а мынкат о фярэ сэлбатикэ ши вом ведя че се ва алеӂе де виселе луй.”
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)!”
21 Рубен а аузит лукрул ачеста ши л-а скос дин мыниле лор. Ел а зис: „Сэ ну-й луэм вяца!”
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.
22 Рубен ле-а зис: „Сэ ну вэрсаць сынӂе, чи май бине арункаци-л ын гроапа ачаста каре есте ын пустиу ши ну пунець мына пе ел.” Кэч авя де гынд сэ-л скапе дин мыниле лор ши сэ-л адукэ ынапой ла татэл сэу.
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.
23 Кынд а ажунс Иосиф ла фраций сэй, ачештя л-ау дезбрэкат де хайна луй, де хайна чя пестрицэ пе каре о авя пе ел.
So when Joseph arrived where his older brothers were, they seized him and ripped off his pretty robe with long sleeves.
24 Л-ау луат ши л-ау арункат ын гроапэ. Гроапа ачаста ера гоалэ: ну ера апэ ын еа.
Then they took him and threw him into the pit/cistern. But the pit/cistern was dry; there was no water in it.
25 Апой ау шезут сэ мэнынче. Ридикынду-шь окий, ау вэзут о чатэ де исмаелиць венинд дин Галаад; кэмилеле лор ерау ынкэркате ку тэмые, ку ляк алинэтор ши смирнэ, пе каре ле дучяу ын Еӂипт.
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.
26 Атунч, Иуда а зис фрацилор сэй: „Че вом кыштига сэ учидем пе фрателе ностру ши сэ-й аскундем сынӂеле?
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]
27 Вениць май бине сэ-л виндем исмаелицилор ши сэ ну пунем мына пе ел, кэч есте фрателе ностру, карне дин карня ноастрэ.” Ши фраций луй л-ау аскултат.
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.
28 Ла тречеря негусторилор мадианиць, ау трас ши ау скос пе Иосиф афарэ дин гроапэ ши л-ау вындут ку доуэзечь де сикли де арӂинт исмаелицилор, каре л-ау дус ын Еӂипт.
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.
29 Рубен с-а ынторс ла гроапэ ши ятэ кэ Иосиф ну май ера ын гроапэ. Ел шь-а рупт хайнеле,
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.
30 с-а ынторс ла фраций сэй ши а зис: „Бэятул ну май есте! Че мэ вой фаче еу?”
He went back to his [younger] brothers and said, “The boy is not in the pit/cistern! What can I do now?” [RHQ]
31 Ей ау луат атунч хайна луй Иосиф ши, жунгиинд ун цап, й-ау ынмуят хайна ын сынӂе.
[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.
32 Ау тримис татэлуй лор хайна чя пестрицэ, пунынд сэ-й спунэ: „Ятэ че ам гэсит! Везь дакэ есте хайна фиулуй тэу сау ну.”
They took that pretty robe back to their father and said, “We found this robe! Look at it. Is it your son’s robe?”
33 Иаков а куноскут-о ши а зис: „Есте хайна фиулуй меу! О фярэ сэлбатикэ л-а мынкат! Да, Иосиф а фост фэкут букэць!”
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!”
34 Ши шь-а рупт хайнеле, шь-а пус ун сак пе коапсе ши а желит мултэ време пе фиул сэу.
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.
35 Тоць фиий ши тоате фийчеле луй ау венит ка сэ-л мынгые, дар ел ну воя сэ примяскэ ничо мынгыере, чи зичя: „Плынгынд мэ вой коборы ла фиул меу, ын Локуинца морцилор.” Ши плынӂя астфел пе фиул сэу. (Sheol h7585)
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)
36 Мадианиций л-ау вындут ын Еӂипт луй Потифар, ун дрегэтор ал луй Фараон, ши ануме кэпетения стрэжерилор.
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.
