Genesis 37
1 Jakọbu sì gbé ilẹ̀ Kenaani ní ibi ti baba rẹ̀ ti gbé.
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land 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 Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
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.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of 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.
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 Josẹfu lá àlá kan, nígbà tí ó sì sọ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n túbọ̀ kórìíra rẹ̀ sí i.
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 O wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ fetí sí àlá tí mo lá,
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have 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.”
For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made reverence to my sheaf.
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.
And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
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.”
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made reverence 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?”
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
11 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì ń ṣe ìlara rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ pa ọ̀rọ̀ náà mọ́ lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì da ẹran baba wọn lọ sí Ṣekemu.
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock 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 unto Joseph, Do not your brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
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 said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether it be well with your brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of 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?”
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
16 Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Àwọn arákùnrin mi ni mò ń wá, ǹjẹ́ o mọ ibi tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran?”
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks.
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 behind; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went 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 saw him far off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 “Alálàá ni ń bọ̀ yìí,” ni wọ́n ń wí fún ara wọn.
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
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 us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
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,
And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us 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.
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
23 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí Josẹfu dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, wọ́n bọ́ ẹ̀wù rẹ̀—Ẹ̀wù ọlọ́nà, aláràbarà tí ó wọ̀—
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
24 wọ́n mú un, wọ́n sì jù ú sínú kòtò. Kòtò náà sì ṣófo, kò sí omi nínú rẹ̀.
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no 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.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to 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?
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
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 us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
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 there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph 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.
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and 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 he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
31 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n mú aṣọ Josẹfu, wọ́n pa ewúrẹ́ kan, wọ́n sì tẹ aṣọ náà bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ewúrẹ́ náà.
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat 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.”
And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be your son's coat 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.”
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent 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 Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
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)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus 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 sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
