1 Mose 37
1 Yosef tenaa Kanaan asase a na nʼagya te so sɛ ɔhɔho no so.
Forsothe Jacob dwellide in the lond of Canaan, in which his fadir was a pilgrym; and these weren the generaciouns of hym.
2 Yosef abusua ho asɛm ni: Bere a Yakob ba Yosef dii mfirihyia dunson no, na ɔboa ne nuanom a wɔyɛ Bilha ne Silpa a wɔyɛ nʼagya yerenom no mmabarima no hwɛ wɔn agya nguan so. Na ɔtaa bɛka nneyɛe bɔne a ɛkɔ so fa ne nuanom no ho no kyerɛ wɔn agya.
Joseph whanne he was of sixtene yeer, yit a child, kepte a flok with hise britheren, and was with the sones of Bala and Zelfa, wyues of his fadir; and he accuside his britheren at the fadir of `the worste synne.
3 Na Israel pɛ ne ba Yosef asɛm sen ne mma a wɔaka no nyinaa, efisɛ ɔwoo no ne nkwakoraabere mu; ɛno nti, ɔpam batakari bi a ɛyɛ fɛ maa no.
Forsothe Israel louyde Joseph ouer alle hise sones, for he hadde gendrid hym in eelde; and he made to Joseph a cote of many colours.
4 Bere a ne nuanom no huu sɛ wɔn agya pɛ nʼasɛm sen wɔn nyinaa no, wɔtan no a na wɔnka abodwosɛm nkyerɛ no.
Forsothe hise britheren sien that he was loued of the fader more than alle, and thei hatiden hym, and myyten not speke ony thing pesibli to hym.
5 Da bi, Yosef soo dae. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom mmarima no, wɔtan no sen kan no mpo.
And it bifelde that he telde to hise britheren a sweuene seyn, which cause was `the seed of more hatrede.
6 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie dae bi a maso.
And Joseph seide to his britheren, Here ye the sweuene which Y seiy,
7 Mesoo dae, na yɛrekyekyere aburow afiafi wɔ afum. Bere a yegu so rekyekyere aburow no, amono mu hɔ ara, mʼafiafi a makyekyere no sɔre gyinaa ntenten. Mo afiafi a moakyekyere no nso twaa me de no ho hyia kotow no.”
Y gesside that we bounden to gidere handfuls, and that as myn handful roos, and stood, and that youre handfuls stoden aboute and worschipiden myn handful.
8 Yosef nuanom no bisaa no se, “Enti wʼadwene ne sɛ wubedi yɛn so ana? Wugye di sɛ, ampa ara, wubetumi aka yɛn ahyɛ?” Esiane ne dae a ɔsoo no ne asɛm a ɔkae no nti, ɛmaa ne nuanom no kyii no kɔkɔɔkɔ.
Hise britheren answerden, Whether thou shalt be oure kyng, ethir we shulen be maad suget to thi lordschip? Therfor this cause of sweuenys and wordis mynystride the nurschyng of enuye, and of hatrede.
9 Na ɔsoo dae bio. Ɔkaa dae a ɔsoo no kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Muntie: Maso dae foforo bio. Mesoo dae, na owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma dubaako rekotow me.”
Also Joseph seiy another sweuene, which he telde to the britheren, and seide, Y seiy bi a sweuene that as the sunne, and moone, and enleuen sterris worschipiden me.
10 Ɔkaa dae no kyerɛɛ nʼagya ne ne nuabarimanom no, nʼagya kaa nʼanim se, “Dae bɛn na woaso yi? Wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ sɛ ampa ara, wo na ne me ne wo nuabarimanom no bɛba abɛkotow wo ana?”
And whanne he hadde teld this sweuene to his fadir, and britheren, his fadir blamyde him, and seide, What wole this sweuene to it silf which thou hast seyn? Whether Y and thi modir, and thi britheren, schulen worschipe thee on erthe?
11 Eyi maa ne nuabarimanom no ani beree no mmoroso. Nanso nʼagya de, ɔdwenee asɛm no ho kɔɔ akyiri.
Therfor hise britheren hadden enuye to hym. Forsothe the fadir bihelde pryuely the thing,
12 Da bi, Yosef nuabarimanom no de wɔn agya nguan kɔɔ adidi wɔ Sekem.
and whanne his britheren dwelliden in Sichem, aboute flockis of the fadir `to be kept,
13 Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Sɛnea wunim no, wo nuanom no de mmoa no kɔ adidi wɔ Sekem. Bra, na mensoma wo wɔn nkyɛn.” Yosef buae se, “Yoo, agya, mate.”
Israel seide to Joseph, Thi britheren kepen scheep in Sichymys; come thou, Y schal sende thee to hem.
14 Enti Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Kɔ na kɔhwɛ sɛ wo nuanom ne nguan no ho te dɛn, na san bɛka biribi kyerɛ me.” Enti Israel somaa Yosef fii Hebron subon no mu. Bere a Yosef duu Sekem no,
And whanne Joseph answerde, Y am redi, Israel seide, Go thou, and se whether alle thingis ben esi anentis thi britheren, and scheep; and telle thou to me what is doon. He was sent fro the valey of Ebron, and cam into Sichem;
15 ɔbarima bi huu no sɛ ɔnenam wura no mu. Ɔbarima no bisaa no se, “Worehwehwɛ dɛn?”
and a man foond hym errynge in the feeld, and `the man axide, what he souyte.
16 Yosef buaa no se, “Merehwehwɛ me nuabarimanom. Mesrɛ wo, wubetumi akyerɛ me baabi a wɔde wɔn nguan no kɔ adidi?”
And he answerde, Y seke my britheren, schewe thou to me where thei kepten flockis.
17 Ɔbarima no buaa no se, “Wo nuabarimanom no afi ha kɔ. Metee sɛ wɔreka se, ‘Momma yɛnkɔ Dotan.’” Enti Yosef tiw ne nuanom no, kɔtoo wɔn wɔ Dotan hɔ.
And the man seide to hym, Thei yeden awei fro this place; forsothe Y herde hem seiynge, Go we into Dothaym. And Joseph yede aftir his britheren, and foond hem in Dothaym.
18 Bere a Yosef puei no, wohuu no wɔ akyirikyiri sɛ ɔreba. Ansa na ɔredu wɔn nkyɛn no, wɔbɔɔ ne ho pɔw sɛ wobekum no.
And whanne thei hadden seyn hym afer, bifor that he neiyede to hem,
19 Wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Monhwɛ! Ɔdaesofo no na ɔreba no!
thei thouyten to sle hym, and spaken to gidere, Lo! the dremere cometh, come ye,
20 Mommra mprempren ara mma yenkum no, na yɛntow no nkyene amoa no bi mu, na yɛnkɔka nkyerɛ yɛn agya se, aboa bi akyere no awe, na yɛnhwɛ sɛ biribi befi ne dae ahorow no mu aba ana.”
sle we hym, and sende we into an eld sisterne, and we schulen seie, A wielde beeste ful wickid hath deuourid hym; and thanne it schal appere what hise dremes profiten to hym.
21 Ruben a ɔyɛ wɔn nua panyin tee saa asɛm no, ɔbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ obegye Yosef nkwa. Ɔkae se, “Mommma yenkum no.
Sotheli Ruben herde this, and enforside to delyuere hym fro her hondis,
22 Munnhwie mogya ngu. Momma yɛntow no nkyene amoa a ɛwɔ sare yi so no bi mu. Na mommma yɛmfa yɛn nsa nka no.” Ruben kaa saa asɛm yi de gyee no fii wɔn nsam, sɛnea obenya kwan de no akɔhyɛ wɔn agya nsa.
and seide, Sle we not the lijf of hym, nether schede we out his blood, but caste ye hym into an eeld cisterne, which is in the wildirnesse, and kepe ye youre hondis gilteles. Forsothe he seide this, willynge to delyuere hym fro her hondis, and to yelde to his fadir.
23 Yosef beduu ne nuabarimanom no nkyɛn no, wɔworɔw ne batakari fɛfɛ a na ɔhyɛ no,
Therfor anoon as Joseph cam to hise britheren, thei dispuyliden hym of the coote, doun to the heele, and of many colours, and senten into the eeld cisterne,
24 na wɔtow no kyenee amoa bi mu. Na nsu biara nni amoa no mu.
that hadde no water.
25 Bere a anuanom no tenaa ase sɛ wɔredidi no, wɔtoo wɔn ani huu sɛ yoma bebree sa so reba faako a na wɔrebedidi hɔ no. Wohuu sɛ saa nkurɔfo no yɛ Ismaelfo aguadifo bi a wɔsoso atomude, akyenkyennuru ne kurobow a wɔde fi Gilead rekɔtɔn no wɔ Misraim asase so.
And thei saten `to ete breed; and thei sien that Ismaelitis weigoers camen fro Galaad, and that her camels baren swete smellynge spiceries, and `rosyn, and stacten, into Egipt.
26 Yuda ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no se, “Sɛ yekum yɛn nua yi, kata ne mogya so a, mfaso bɛn na yebenya?
Therfor Judas seide to hise britheren, What schal it profite to vs, if we schulen sle oure brother, and schulen hide his blood?
27 Momma yenyi no, na yɛntɔn no mma Ismaelfo aguadifo yi, sen sɛ yebekum no. Ɛdan dɛn ara a, ɔyɛ yɛn nua kumaa, yɛn ankasa yɛn mogya.” Ne nuanom no penee so.
It is betere that he be seeld to Ismalitis, and oure hondis be not defoulid, for he is oure brother and fleisch. The britheren assentiden to these wordis;
28 Bere a Midian aguadifo no beduu hɔ no, Yosef nuanom no yii no fii amoa no mu, tɔn no maa Ismaelfo no gyee dwetɛ gram ahannu aduonu awotwe ma wɔde no kɔɔ Misraim.
and whanne marchauntis of Madian passiden forth, thei drowen hym out of the cisterne, and seelden hym to Ismaelitis, for thriytti platis of siluer; whiche ledden hym in to Egipt.
29 Ruben san nʼakyi baa amoa no ho, na ohuu sɛ Yosef nni amoa no mu no, osunsuan ne ntade mu.
And Ruben turnede ayen to the cisterne, and foond not the child;
30 Ɔkɔɔ ne nuabarimanom no hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Abarimaa no nni hɔ oo! Enti mprempren menyɛ me ho dɛn?”
and he to-rente his closis, and he yede to hise britheren, and seide, The child apperith not, and whidir schal Y go?
31 Na anuanom no faa Yosef batakari no, kum abirekyi, de batakari no nuu ne mogya no mu.
Forsothe thei token his coote, and dippiden in the blood of a kide, which thei hadden slayn; and senten men that baren to the fadir,
32 Wɔde Yosef batakari fɛfɛ no kɔɔ wɔn agya nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yehuu saa atade yi wɔ wura mu hɔ baabi. Hwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ Yosef atade ana?”
and seiden, We han founde this coote, se, whether it is the coote of thi sone, ether nai.
33 Wɔn agya hui, na ɔkae se, “Nokware, ɛyɛ me ba Yosef atade! Aboa bɔne bi akyere no awe. Ampa ara, aboa ko no atetew Yosef nam pasaa.”
And whanne the fader hadde knowe it, he seide, It is the coote of my sone, a wielde beeste ful wickid hath ete hym, a beeste hath deuourid Joseph.
34 Na Yakob sunsuan ne ntade mu, hyɛɛ atweaatam, suu ne ba no nna bebree.
And he to-rente his clothis, and he was clothid with an heire, and biweilide his sone in myche tyme.
35 Ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea nyinaa betwaa ne ho hyia kyekyee ne werɛ, nanso ankosi hwee. Yakob kae se, “Dabi, mede awerɛhow bewu akɔto me ba no wɔ asaman.” Enti nʼagya Yakob suu no. (Sheol h7585)
Sothely whanne hise fre children weren gaderid to gidere, that thei schulden peese the sorewe of the fadir, he nolde take counfort, but seide, Y schal go doun in to helle, and schal biweile my sone. And the while Jacob contynude in wepyng, (Sheol h7585)
36 Nea ɛbae ne sɛ, Midianfo no nso kɔtɔn Yosef maa Potifar wɔ Misraim. Saa Potifar no na ɔyɛ ɔhene Farao dabehene ne nʼawɛmfo so panyin.
Madianytis seelden Joseph into Egipt to Putifar, chast `and onest seruaunt of Farao, maistir of the chyualrie.
