Bilowgii 37
1 Yacquubna wuxuu degay dhulkii aabbihiis qariibka ku ahaan jiray, oo ahaa dalkii Kancaan.
Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
2 Kuwanuna waa farcankii Yacquub. Yuusuf, isagoo jira toddoba iyo toban sannadood, ayuu idaha la daajinayay walaalihiis, wuxuuna ahaa wiil la jooga wiilashii Bilhah iyo Silfah oo ahaa naagihii aabbihiis. Markaasuu Yuusuf xaggooda war xun uga keenay aabbahood.
This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
3 Israa'iilna Yuusuf wuu ka jeclaa carruurtiisa oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa inankuu dhalay markuu gaboobay; oo wuxuuna u sameeyey shulug midabyo badan leh.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a robe of many colors.
4 Markaasaa walaalihiis arkeen in aabbahood ka jecel yahay isaga walaalihiis oo dhan; kolkaasay nebcaadeen isagii, wayna kari waayeen inay isaga si nabad ah ula hadlaan.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Yuusufna wuu riyooday, markaasuu riyadiisii u sheegay walaalihiis, iyana aad bay u sii nebcaadeen.
Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
6 Oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, bal maqla riyadan aan ku riyooday.
He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
7 Bal eega, waxaynu beerta ku xidhxidhaynay xidhmooyin, markaasaa xidhmadaydii kacday, oo istaagtay, xidhmooyinkiinniina hareeraheeday yimaadeen oo u sujuudeen xidhmadaydii.
We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.”
8 Markaasaa walaalihiis ku yidhaahdeen, Ma annagaad na xukumi doontaa? Amase noo talin doontaa? Markaasay aad iyo aad ugu sii nebcaadeen riyooyinkiisii iyo hadalladiisii aawadood.
“Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and his statements.
9 Markaasuu haddana riyo kale ku riyooday, oo walaalihiis u sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, riyo kalaan ku riyoodaye. Waxaan ku riyooday qorraxdii iyo dayaxii, iyo koob iyo toban xiddigood oo ii sujuuday.
Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
10 Markaasuu aabbihiis u sheegay, iyo walaalihiisba, aabbihiisna waa canaantay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay riyadan aad ku riyootay? Ma aniga iyo hooyadaa iyo walaalahaa baa kuu iman doonna, oo intaan wejiga dhulka saarno kuu sujuudi doonna?
He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
11 Markaasay walaalihiis ka masayreen isagii; laakiinse aabbihiis maankuu ku haystay hadalkii.
And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
12 Markaasaa walaalihiis tageen, inay adhigii aabbahood soo daajiyaan Shekem.
Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
13 Israa'iilna wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Miyaanay walaalahaa adhigii daajinayn Shekem? Bal kaalay, xaggoodaan kuu dirayaaye. Markaasuu isna ku yidhi, Waa i kan.
Israel said to him, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flocks at Shechem? Get ready; I am sending you to them.” “I am ready,” Joseph replied.
14 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Bal tag oo soo arag in walaalahaa iyo adhigiiba nabad qabaan iyo in kale, oo haddana ii war keen. Sidaas daraaddeed isagii wuxuu ka diray dooxadii Xebroon, oo wuxuu tegey Shekem.
Then Israel told him, “Go now and see how your brothers and the flocks are faring, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. And when Joseph arrived in Shechem,
15 Markaasaa nin helay isagoo duurka wareegaya; ninkiina wax buu weyddiiyey oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad doondoonaysaa?
a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
16 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan doondoonayaa walaalahay. Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg meesha ay adhigii daajinayaan.
“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
17 Markaasaa ninkii ku yidhi, Halkan way ka tageen, waayo, waxaan maqlay iyagoo isku leh, Ina keena aynu Dotaan tagnee. Markaasuu Yuusuf walaalihiis ka daba tegey, oo wuxuu iyagii ka helay Dotaan.
“They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18 Markaasay meel fog ka arkeen isagii, oo intuusan u soo dhowaan iyagii, ayay ku tashadeen inay dilaan.
Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
19 Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Bal eega, kii riyada badnaa waa soo socdaaye.
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
20 Haddaba kaalaya aynu dilnee, oo aynu ku tuurno ceelasha midkood, oo waxaynu odhan doonnaa, Bahal xun baa cunay. Dabadeedna waxaynu arki doonnaa bal waxay riyooyinkiisii noqdaan.
“Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”
21 Oo Ruubeen baa taas maqlay, isagiina wuu ka samatabbixiyey gacantoodii; oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yeynan naftiisa ka qaadin.
When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
22 Kolkaasaa Ruubeen ku yidhi iyagii, Dhiig ha daadinina, ee isaga ku tuura ceelkan cidlada ku yaal, laakiinse far ha saarina. Oo wuxuu taas u yeelay inuu isaga ka samatabbixiyo gacantooda oo uu u celiyo aabbihiis.
“Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this so that he could rescue Joseph from their hands and return him to his father.
23 Oo waxay noqotay in markii Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimid ay Yusuuf ka furteen shuluggiisii, kaasu wuxuu ahaa shuluggii midabyada badnaa oo uu qabay.
So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
24 Kolkaasay qabteen oo ay ceelkii ku tuureen; ceelkuna waa madhnaa oo biyo kuma jirin.
and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
25 Kolkaasay u fadhiisteen inay wax cunaan; dabadeedna indhahay kor u taageen oo wax bay fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen safar reer Ismaaciil ah oo ka soo socda xagga Gilecaad, oo awrtooda ay ugu raran yihiin xawaash, iyo beeyo, iyo malmal, waxayna u socdeen xagga Masar.
And as they sat down to eat a meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh on their way down to Egypt.
26 Markaasuu Yahuudah ku yidhi walaalihiis, Maxaa faa'iido inoogu jirta, haddaynu walaalkeen dilno oo aynu dhiiggiisa qarinno?
Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
27 Kaalaya, aynu reer Ismaaciil ka iibinnee, oo yeynan isaga far saarin, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa walaalkeen, waana jidhkeenna. Walaalihiisna way maqleen isagii.
Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.
28 Oo waxaa ag maray niman reer Midyaan ah, oo baayacmushtariyaal ah. Markaasay Yuusuf soo jiideen oo ceelkii ka soo bixiyeen, oo waxay Yuusuf kuwii reer Ismaaciil kaga iibiyeen labaatan xabbadood oo lacag ah. Oo iyana Yuusuf waxay keeneen Masar.
So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
29 Markaasaa Ruubeen ku noqday ceelkii; wuxuuna arkay inuusan Yuusuf ku jirin ceelka, kolkaasuu dharkiisii dildillaaciyey.
When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
30 Markaasuu walaalihiis ku noqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yarkii ma joogo, haddaba anigu xaggee baan tagaa?
returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
31 Kolkaasay shuluggii Yuusuf qaadeen oo intay orgi gowraceen ayay shuluggii dhiiggii geliyeen.
Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
32 Markaasay shuluggii midabyada badnaa direen, oo ay aabbahood u keeneen; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Kan waannu helnay, haddaba bal garo inuu shuluggii wiilkaagii yahay iyo in kale.
They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe or not.”
33 Wuuna gartay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waa shuluggii wiilkayga. Bahal xun baa cunay isagii. Shakila'aan Yuusuf cadcad baa loo kala jeexjeexay.
His father recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
34 Markaasaa Yacquub dharkiisii dildillaaciyey, oo joonyad buu dhexda ku xidhay, wiilkiisiina maalmo badan ayuu u barooranayay.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Kolkaasaa wiilashiisii oo dhan iyo gabdhihiisii oo dhammu u kaceen inay isaga qalbi qaboojiyaan, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu qalbi qaboobo, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qabriga geli doonaa oo wiilkaygii u tegi doonaa. Aabbihiisna wuu u ooyay isagii. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Markaasay kuwii reer Midyaan isagii Masar kaga iibiyeen nin la odhan jiray Footiifar, wuxuuna ahaa sirkaalkii Fircoon oo ahaa madaxa waardiyayaasha.
Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
