Genesisi 37
1 Jakobho akagara munyika yakanga yambogarwa nababa vake, iyo nyika yeKenani.
And Iacob dwelt in the lande wherein his father was a straunger yt is to saye in the lande of Canaan.
2 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yaJakobho. Josefa jaya ramakore gumi namanomwe, akanga achifudza makwai pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, vanakomana vaBhiriha navanakomana vaZiripa, vakadzi vababa vake, uye akauya namashoko akaipa kuna baba vavo pamusoro pavo.
And these are the generations of Iacob: when Ioseph was. xvij. yere olde he kepte shepe with his brethren and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha and of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge yt was of them.
3 Zvino Israeri akanga achida Josefa kupfuura vamwe vavanakomana vake, nokuti akanga aberekwa panguva youtana hwake; uye akamuitira nguo yakaisvonaka.
And Israel loued Ioseph more than all his childern because he begat hym in his olde age and he made him a coote of many coloures.
4 Madzikoma ake akati aona kuti baba vavo vaimuda kupfuura ani zvake pakati pavo, vakamuvenga uye vakasagona kutaura naye mashoko akanaka.
When his brothren sawe that their father loued him more than all his brethern they hated him and coude not speke one kynde worde vnto him.
5 Josefa akarota hope, uye paakaudza madzikoma ake izvozvo, vakanyanya kumuvenga.
Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreawe and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more.
6 Akati kwavari, “Inzwai hope dzandakarota idzi:
And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed:
7 Takanga tichisunga zvisote zvezviyo kumunda onei pakarepo chisote changu chakasimuka chikamira chakati twi, asi zvisote zvenyu zvakaungana zvakapoteredza changu uye zvikakotama kwachiri.”
Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo my shefe arose and stode vpright and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe.
8 Madzikoma ake akati kwaari, “Ko, iwe unoda kutitonga here? Ko, zvirokwazvo uchatitonga here iwe?” Uye vakanyanyisa kumuvenga nokuda kwokurota kwake uye nokuda kwezvaakanga ataura.
Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us? And they hated hi yet the more because of his dreame and of his wordes.
9 Ipapo akarotazve dzimwe hope, uye akadzitaura kumadzikoma ake. Akati, “Inzwai, ndarota dzimwe hope, uye panguva iyi zuva nomwedzi nenyeredzi gumi neimwe zvanga zvichindipfugamira.”
And he dreamed yet another dreame and told it his brethren saynge: beholde I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone and. xi. starres made obaysaunce to me.
10 Paakaudza baba vake pamwe chete namadzikoma ake, baba vake vakamutsiura vakati, “Kurotai kwawakaita uku? Ko, mai vako neni namadzikoma ako tichauya kuzokupfugamira here iwe zvirokwazvo?”
And when he had told it vnto his father and his brethern his father rebuked him and sayde vnto him: what meaneth this dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the grounde before the?
11 Madzikoma ake akamuitira godo, asi baba vake vakazvichengeta mumwoyo mavo.
And his brethern hated him but his father noted the saynge.
12 Zvino madzikoma ake akanga abuda kundofudza makwai ababa vavo pedyo neShekemu,
His brethren went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem
13 uye Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvaunoziva, madzikoma ako ari kufudza makwai pedyo neShekemu. Uya, ndikutume kwavari.” Iye akati, “Zvakanaka.”
and Israell sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethern kepe in Sichem? come that I may send ye to the. And he answered here am I
14 Saka akati kwaari, “Enda undoona kana zvinhu zvakanaka kumadzikoma ako nezvipfuwo, ugodzoka kwandiri neshoko.” Ipapo akamutuma achibva napaMupata weHebhuroni. Josefa akati asvika kuShekemu,
And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe and brynge me worde agayne: And sent him out of the vale of Hebron for to go to Sichem.
15 mumwe murume akamuwana achidzungaira musango akamubvunza akati, “Uri kutsvakeiko?”
And a certayne man founde him wandrynge out of his waye in the felde ad axed him what he soughte.
16 Akapindura akati, “Ndiri kutsvaka madzikoma angu. Mungandiudzawo kwavanofudzira makwai avo here?”
And he answered: I seke my brethren tell me I praye the where they kepe shepe
17 Murume uya akati, “Vabva pano, ndavanzwa vachiti, ‘Ngatiendei kuDhotani.’” Saka Josefa akatevera madzikoma ake akandovawana pedyo neDhotani.
And the man sayde they are departed hece for I herde them say let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren and founde them in Dothan.
18 Asi vakamuona achiri kure, asati asvika kwavari, vakarangana kumuuraya.
And whe they sawe him a farr of before he came at them they toke councell agaynst him for to sley him
19 Vakataurirana vachiti, “Hoyo muroti uya ouya!
and sayde one to another Beholde this dreamer cometh
20 Uyai zvino timuuraye tigomukanda mune rimwe ramatsime aya tigoti akadyiwa nechikara. Ipapo tichazoona zvinobva pakurota kwake.”
come now and let us sley him and cast him in to some pytt and let vs saye that sonne wiked beast hath deuoured him and let us see what his dreames wyll come to.
21 Rubheni akati anzwa izvi, akaedza kumununura kubva mumaoko avo. Akati, “Ngatiregei kumuuraya.
When Ruben herde that he wet aboute to ryd him out of their handes and sayde let vs not kyll him.
22 Regai kuteura ropa. Mukandei mutsime iri muno mugwenga, asi regai kutambanudza maoko enyu paari.” Rubheni akareva izvozvi kuti amununure kwavari uye kuti agomudzosera kuna baba vake.
And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them shed not his bloude but cast him in to this pytt that is in the wildernes and laye no handes vpon him: for he wolde haue rydd him out of their handes and delyuered him to his father agayne.
23 Saka Josefa akati asvika kumadzikoma ake, vakamubvisa nguo yake, iyo nguo iya yakanga yakaisvonaka, yaiva nemavara-mavara yaakanga akapfeka,
And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto his brethren they strypte him out of his gay coote that was vpon him
24 uye vakamutora vakamukanda mutsime. Zvino tsime rakanga rapwa risina mvura.
and they toke him and cast him in to a pytt: But the pytt was emptie and had no water therein.
25 Pavakagara kuti vadye zvokudya zvavo, vakasimudza meso avo vakaona ngoro dzavaIshumaeri dzichibva kuGireadhi. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzakatakura zvinonhuhwira, bharimu nemura, uye vakanga vachienda nazvo kuIjipiti.
And they satt them doune to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute there came a companye of Ismaelites from Gilead and their camels lade with spicery baulme and myrre and were goynge doune in to Egipte.
26 Judha akati kuhama dzake, “Tichawaneiko kana tikauraya mununʼuna wedu tikafushira ropa rake?
Than sayde Iuda to his brethre what avayleth it that we sley oure brother and kepe his bloude secrett?
27 Uyai, ngatimutengesei kuvaIshumaeri ava tirege kutambanudza maoko edu paari; pamusoro pezvo iye mununʼuna wedu, nyama yedu neropa redu.” Madzikoma ake akatenderana.
come on let vs sell him to the Ismaelites and let not oure handes be defyled vpon him: for he is oure brother and oure flesh. And his brethren were content.
28 Saka vashambadziri veMidhiani vakati vasvika, madzikoma ake akabudisa Josefa kubva mutsime vakamutengesa kuvaIshumaeri namashekeri makumi maviri esirivha, ivo vakaenda naye kuIjipiti.
Than as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by they drewe Ioseph out of the pytt and sold him vnto the Ismaelites for. xx. peces of syluer. And they brought him into Egipte.
29 Rubheni paakadzokera kutsime uye akawana Josefa asisimo akabvarura nguo dzake.
And when Ruben came agayne vnto the pytt and founde not Ioseph there he rent his cloothes
30 Akadzokerazve kuvanunʼuna vake akati, “Mukomana haasisimo! Zvino ndichaendepiko?”
and went agayne vnto his brethern saynge: the lad is not yonder and whether shall I goo?
31 Ipapo vakatora nguo yaJosefa, vakauraya mbudzi ndokunyika nguo iya muropa.
And they toke Iosephs coote ad kylled a goote and dypped the coote in the bloud.
32 Vakatora nguo iya yakaisvonaka vakaenda nayo kuna baba vavo vakati, “Takanonga ichi. Cherechedzai muone kana ingava nguo yomwanakomana wenyu here.”
And they sent that gay coote and caused it to be brought vnto their father and sayd: This haue we founde: se whether it be thy sones coote or no.
33 Akaiziva akati, “Inguo yomwanakomana wangu! Zvimwe zvikara zvesango zvamudya. Zvirokwazvo Josefa akabvamburwa-bvamburwa.”
And he knewe it saynge: it is my sonnes coote a wicked beast hath deuoured him and Ioseph is rent in peces.
34 Ipapo Jakobho akabvarura nguo dzake, akapfeka nguo dzamasaga akachema mwanakomana wake kwamazuva mazhinji.
And Iacob rent his cloothes ad put sacke clothe aboute his loynes and sorowed for his sonne a longe season.
35 Vanakomana vake navanasikana vake vose vakauya kuzomunyaradza, asi akaramba kunyaradzwa. Akati, “Kwete, ndichaburuka kuguva ndichichema mwanakomana wangu.” Saka baba vake vakamuchema. (Sheol h7585)
Than came all his sonnes ad all his doughters to comforte him. And he wold not be comforted but sayde: I will go doune in to ye grave vnto my sonne mornynge. And thus his father wepte for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Zvichakadaro, vaMidhiani vakatengesa Josefa muIjipiti kuna Potifa mumwe wavabati vaFaro, mukuru wavarindi.
And the Madianytes solde him in Egipte vnto Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: and his chefe marshall.
