Genesis 37
1 Nanirahan si Jacob sa lupain kung saan naroon ang kanyang ama, sa lupain ng Canaan.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 Ito ang mga pangyayari tungkol kay Jacob. Nang labimpitong taong gulang pa lang si Jose, nagbabantay siya ng kawan kasama ang kanyang mga kapatid. Kasama niya ang mga anak na lalaki ni Bilhah at mga anak na lalaki ni Zilpah, mga asawa nang kanyang ama. Nagdala si Jose ng hindi kanais-nais na balita tungkol sa kanila sa kanilang ama.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 Minahal ni Israel si Jose nang mas higit sa lahat ng kanyang anak na lalaki dahil siya ang anak niya sa katandaan. Ginawan siya nang isang magandang damit.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 Nakita ng kanyang mga kapatid ang pagmamahal ng kanilang ama na mas higit kaysa sa lahat niyang kapatid na lalaki. Siya ay kinamuhian nila at hindi nakikipag-usap nang maayos.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Nanaginip si Jose ng isang panaginip, at sinabi niya sa kanyang mga kapatid ang tungkol dito. Lalo pa nila siyang kinamuhia.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pakiusap makinig kayo sa panaginip na aking napanaginipan.
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 Masdan ninyo, itinatali natin ang mga bigkis ng mga butil sa bukid at masdan ninyo, tumayo ang aking bigkis at tumuwid, at masdan ninyo, pumalibot ang inyong mga bigkis at yumuko sa aking bigkis.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang mga kapatid, “Magiging hari ka ba talaga namin? Mamumuno ka sa amin? “Lalo siyang kinamuhian dahil sa kanyang mga panaginip at sa kanyang mga salita.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 Nanaginip siya ulit ng panaginip at sinabi niya ito sa kanyang mga kapatid. Sinabi niya, “Tingnan ninyo, nanaginip ako ng ibang panaginip: Ang araw at ang buwan at labing-isang bituin ay yumuko pababa sa akin.”
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 Sinabi niya ito sa kanyang ama pati sa kanyang mga kapatid, at pinagsabihan siya ng kanyang ama. Sinabi niya sa kanya, “Ano itong panaginip na napaginipan mo? Talaga bang lalapit ang iyong ina, ako at ang mga kapatid mo para yumuko sa iyo sa lupa?”
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Nainggit sa kanya ang kanyang mga kapatid, pero ang kanyang ama ay itinago ang bagay sa kanyang isip.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 Umalis ang mga kapatid ni Jose upang magpastol ng kawan ng kanilang ama sa Sechem.
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 Sinabi ni Jacob kay Jose, “Hindi ba nagpapastol ng kawan ang iyong mga kapatid sa Sechem? Halika, at ipapadala kita sa kanila.” Sinabi ni Jose sa kanya, “Nakahanda ako.”
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 Sinabi niya sa kanya, “Umalis ka na ngayon, tingnan mo kung maayos ang mga kapatid mo at maayos ang mga kawan, at balitaan mo ako.” Kaya pinadala siya ni Jacob sa lambak ng Hebron, at nagpunta si Jose sa Sichem.
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 May isang taong nakakita kay Jose. Masdan mo, si Jose ay pagala-gala sa isang bukid. Tinanong siya ng isang lalaki, “Ano ang hinahanap mo?”
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 Sinabi ni Jose, “Hinahanap ko ang aking mga kapatid. Pakiusap, sabihin mo sa akin kung saan nila nagpapastol ang kawan.”
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 Sinabi ng lalaki, “Umalis na sila sa lugar na ito, narinig ko silang nagsabi na, “Pumunta tayo sa Dotan. Pinuntahan ni Jose ang kanyang mga kapatid at natagpuan sila sa Dotan.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Nakita nila si Jose mula sa di kalayuan, at bago siya makalapit sa kanila, nakapagplano na sila laban sa kanya para patayin siya.
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 Sinabi ng kanyang mga kapatid sa bawat isa, “Tingnan niyo, Papalapit na ang taong mapanaginipin.
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 Halikayo, kung ganon, patayin na natin siya at ihulog siya sa isa sa mga balon. Sabihin natin, 'Sinakmal siya ng isang mabangis na hayop.' Tingnan natin kung anong mangyayari sa kanyang mga panaginip.”
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 Narinig ito ni Reuben at iniligtas siya mula sa kanilang kamay. Sinabi niya, “Huwag nating kunin ang kanyang buhay.”
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 Sinabi ni Reuben sa kanila, “Huwag magpadanak ng dugo. Itapon siya sa balong ito sa deserto, ngunit huwag ninyo siyang hawakan”— upang mailigtas niya siya sa kanilang kamay para maibalik siya sa kanyang ama.
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
23 Nangyari na nang dumating si Jose sa kanyang mga kapatid, hinubad sa kaniya ang magandang damit.
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 Dinala siya at itinapon siya sa loob ng balon. Walang laman ang balon ni wala itong tubig.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 Umupo sila para kumain ng tinapay. Tumingala sila at tumingin, at masdan, may paparating na isang karawan ng mga Ismaelita mula sa Gilead, kasama ang kanilang mga kamelyo na may dala-dalang mga sahog at balsamo at mira. Naglalakbay sila ay para dalhin ang mga iyon pababa sa Ehipto.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Sabi ni Juda sa kanyang mga kapatid, “Anong pakinabang nito kung papatayin ang ating kapatid at pagtakpan ang kanyang dugo?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Halina kayo, at ipagbili natin siya sa mga Ismaelita, at huwag natin siyang pagbuhatan ng kamay. Dahil siya ay ating kapatid, ating laman. Pinakinggan siya ng kanyang mga kapatid.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 Dumaan ang mga mangangalakal na Midianita. Inihaon si Jose ng kanyang mga kapatid at iniakyat pataas mula sa balon. Ipinagbili nila si Jose sa mga Ismaelita para sa dalawampung pirasong pilak. Dinala si Jose ng mga Ismaelita sa Ehipto.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 Bumalik si Reuben sa balon, at masdan, wala na si Jose sa loob ng balon. Pinunit niya ang kanyang damit.
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 Bumalik siya sa kanyang mga kapatid at sinabi, “Nasaan na ang bata? At ako, saan ako paparoon?”
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Kumatay sila ang isang kambing at pagkatapos kinuha nila ang damit ni Jose at sinawsaw ito sa dugo.
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 Pagkatapos, dinala nila ito sa kanilang ama at sinabi, “Nakita namin ito. Pakiusap tingnan mo kung ito ang damit ng inyong anak o hindi?”
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 Nakilala ito ni Jacob at sinabi, “Ito ay damit ng aking anak. Sinakmal siya ng isang mabangis na hayop. Tiyak na nagkawasak-wasak ang katawan ni Jose.”
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 Pinunit ni Jacob ang kanyang mga damit at naglagay siya ng sako sa kanyang balakang. Nagluksa siya para sa kanyang anak ng maraming araw.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Ang lahat ng kanyang mga anak na lalaki at babae ay pumunta para aliwin siya ngunit tumanggi siyang magpaaliw. Sabi niya, “Talagang bababa ako sa sheol na nagluluksa para sa aking anak.” Nanangis ang kanyang ama para kanya. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Ipinagbili siya ng mga Midianita sa Ehipto kay Potipar, isang opisyal ni Paraon, na kapitan ng bantay.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
