Genesis 37
1 Jakọbu sì gbé ilẹ̀ Kenaani ní ibi ti baba rẹ̀ ti gbé.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Èyí ni àwọn ìtàn Jakọbu. Nígbà tí Josẹfu di ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàdínlógún, ó ń ṣọ́ agbo ẹran pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ Biliha àti Silipa aya baba rẹ̀ Josẹfu sì ń ròyìn àwọn aburú tí wọ́n ń ṣe fún baba wọn.
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 Israẹli sì fẹ́ràn Josẹfu ju gbogbo àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ tókù lọ, nítorí ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀ ni ó bí i. O sì dá aṣọ aláràbarà tí ó kún fún onírúurú ọnà lára fún un.
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ rí i pé baba àwọn fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ ju gbogbo wọn lọ, wọ́n kórìíra rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń fi ẹ̀tanú bá a gbé, kò sì sí àlàáfíà láàrín wọn.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 Josẹfu lá àlá kan, nígbà tí ó sì sọ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n túbọ̀ kórìíra rẹ̀ sí i.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 O wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ fetí sí àlá tí mo lá,
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 sá à wò ó, àwa ń yí ìtí ọkà nínú oko, ó sì ṣe ìtí ọkà tèmi sì dìde dúró ṣánṣán, àwọn ìtí ọkà tiyín sì dúró yí ìtí tèmi ká, wọ́n sì ń foríbalẹ̀ fún un.”
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ń gbèrò àti jẹ ọba lé wa lórí bí? Tàbí ìwọ ó ṣe olórí wa nítòótọ́?” Wọn sì túbọ̀ kórìíra rẹ̀ sí i, nítorí àlá rẹ̀ àti nítorí ohun tí ó wí.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 O sì tún lá àlá mìíràn, ó sì tún sọ ọ́ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀. Ó wí pé, ẹ tẹ́tí sí mi, “Mo tún lá àlá mìíràn, wò ó, oòrùn, òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀ mọ́kànlá ń foríbalẹ̀ fún mi.”
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 Nígbà tí ó sọ fún baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, baba rẹ̀ bá a wí pé, “Irú àlá wo ni ìwọ lá yìí? Ṣé ìyá rẹ, pẹ̀lú èmi àti àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ yóò wá foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ ni?”
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń ṣe ìlara rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ pa ọ̀rọ̀ náà mọ́ lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì da ẹran baba wọn lọ sí Ṣekemu.
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 Israẹli sì wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Ṣé o mọ̀ pé, àwọn arákùnrin rẹ ń da ẹran ní Ṣekemu, wá, jẹ́ kí n rán ọ sí wọn.” Josẹfu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 O sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ wò bí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ àti àwọn agbo ẹran bá wà ní àlàáfíà, kí o sì wá jíṣẹ́ fún mi.” Ó sì rán Josẹfu lọ láti àfonífojì Hebroni. Nígbà tí Josẹfu dé Ṣekemu,
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 ọkùnrin kan sì rí i tí ó ń rìn kiri inú pápá, ó sì bi í pé, “Kín ni ò ń wá?”
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Àwọn arákùnrin mi ni mò ń wá, ǹjẹ́ o mọ ibi tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran?”
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Ọkùnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Wọ́n ti kúrò ní ìhín, mo gbọ́ tí wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sí Dotani.’” Josẹfu sì wá àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ lọ, ó sì rí wọn ní tòsí Dotani.
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n sì ti rí i tí ń bọ̀ lókèèrè, kí ó sì tó dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, wọn gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ láti pa á.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 “Alálàá ni ń bọ̀ yìí,” ni wọ́n ń wí fún ara wọn.
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa á. Kí a sì ju òkú rẹ̀ sínú kòtò, a ó sì wí pé, ẹranko búburú ni ó pa á, kí a máa wo ọ̀nà tí àlá rẹ̀ yóò gbà ṣẹ.”
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 Nígbà tí Reubeni gbọ́ èyí, ó gbìyànjú láti gbà á sílẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ wọn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí a gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀,
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí a ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe fọwọ́ kàn án, ẹ kúkú jù ú sínú kòtò láààyè nínú aginjù níbí.” Reubeni sọ èyí, kí ó ba à le gbà á kúrò lọ́wọ́ wọn, kí ó sì dá a padà lọ fún baba rẹ̀.
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí Josẹfu dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n bọ́ ẹ̀wù rẹ̀—Ẹ̀wù ọlọ́nà, aláràbarà tí ó wọ̀—
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 wọ́n mú un, wọ́n sì jù ú sínú kòtò. Kòtò náà sì ṣófo, kò sí omi nínú rẹ̀.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Bí wọ́n sì ti jókòó láti jẹun, wọ́n gbójú sókè, wọ́n sì rí àwọn oníṣòwò ará Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n ń wọ́ bọ̀ láti Gileadi. Ìbákasẹ wọn sì ru tùràrí, ìkunra àti òjìá, wọ́n ń lọ sí Ejibiti.
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 Juda wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Èrè kí ni ó jẹ́ bí a bá pa arákùnrin wa tí a bo ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ ti ọkàn wa sì ń dá wa lẹ́bi?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí á tà á fún àwọn ará Iṣmaeli, kí àwa má sì pa á, ṣè bí àbúrò wa ni, ẹran-ara wa àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ wa ní i ṣe.” Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì fi ara mọ́ ohun tí ó sọ.
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí àwọn oníṣòwò ara Midiani ń kọjá, àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu fà á jáde láti inú kòtò, wọ́n sì tà á fún àwọn ará Iṣmaeli ní ogún owó wúrà, wọ́n sì mú Josẹfu lọ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 Nígbà tí Reubeni padà dé ibi kòtò tí ó sì ri pé Josẹfu kò sí níbẹ̀ mọ́, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́.
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 Ó padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ọmọdékùnrin náà kò sí níbẹ̀ mọ́! Níbo ni ẹ fẹ́ kí n wọ̀ báyìí?”
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n mú aṣọ Josẹfu, wọ́n pa ewúrẹ́ kan, wọ́n sì tẹ aṣọ náà bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ewúrẹ́ náà.
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Wọ́n sì mú aṣọ ọlọ́nà aláràbarà náà padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ baba wọn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “A rí èyí he nínú oko, yẹ̀ ẹ́ wò, kí o sì mọ̀ bóyá ti ọmọ rẹ ni.”
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 Ó sì dá a mọ̀, ó wí pé, “Háà! Aṣọ ọmọ mi ni, ẹranko búburú ti pa á jẹ, láìṣe àní àní, ó ti fa Josẹfu ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ.”
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, ó sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ ọmọ rẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́kùnrin, lóbìnrin wá láti tù ú nínú, ṣùgbọ́n kò gbà. Ó wí pé, “Rárá, nínú ọ̀fọ̀ yìí ni èmi yóò lọ sí isà òkú lọ́dọ̀ ọmọ mi.” Baba Josẹfu sì sọkún fún un. (Sheol h7585)
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Ní gbogbo àkókò wọ̀nyí, àwọn ará Midiani ta Josẹfu ní Ejibiti fún Potifari, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìjòyè Farao, tí í ṣe olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
