وَسَكَنَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَةِ أَبِيهِ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ١ 1
Jacob lived in the land where his father was staying, in the land of Canaan.
هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ يَعْقُوبَ: يُوسُفُ إِذْ كَانَ ٱبْنَ سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً، كَانَ يَرْعَى مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ ٱلْغَنَمَ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ عِنْدَ بَنِي بِلْهَةَ وَبَنِي زِلْفَةَ ٱمْرَأَتَيْ أَبِيهِ، وَأَتَى يُوسُفُ بِنَمِيمَتِهِمِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ. ٢ 2
These were the events concerning Jacob. Joseph, who was a young man seventeen years old, was guarding the flock with his brothers. He was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought an unfavorable report about them to their father.
وَأَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَحَبَّ يُوسُفَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَائِرِ بَنِيهِ لِأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ شَيْخُوخَتِهِ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ قَمِيصًا مُلَوَّنًا. ٣ 3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was the son of his old age. He made him a beautiful garment.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى إِخْوَتُهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ أَحَبَّهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ أَبْغَضُوهُ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يُكَلِّمُوهُ بِسَلَامٍ. ٤ 4
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. They hated him and would not speak kindly to him.
وَحَلُمَ يُوسُفُ حُلْمًا وَأَخْبَرَ إِخْوَتَهُ، فَٱزْدَادُوا أَيْضًا بُغْضًا لَهُ. ٥ 5
Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told his brothers about it. They hated him even more.
فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْحُلْمَ ٱلَّذِي حَلُمْتُ: ٦ 6
He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I dreamed.
فَهَا نَحْنُ حَازِمُونَ حُزَمًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَإِذَا حُزْمَتِي قَامَتْ وَٱنْتَصَبَتْ، فَٱحْتَاطَتْ حُزَمُكُمْ وَسَجَدَتْ لِحُزْمَتِي». ٧ 7
Behold, we were tying bundles of grain in the field and behold, my bundle rose and stood upright, and behold, your bundles came around and bowed down to my bundle.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «أَلَعَلَّكَ تَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا مُلْكًا أَمْ تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْنَا تَسَلُّطًا؟» وَٱزْدَادُوا أَيْضًا بُغْضًا لَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْلَامِهِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلَامِهِ. ٨ 8
His brothers said to him, “Will you really reign over us? Will you actually rule over us?” They hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
ثُمَّ حَلُمَ أَيْضًا حُلْمًا آخَرَ وَقَصَّهُ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا أَيْضًا، وَإِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا سَاجِدَةٌ لِي». ٩ 9
He dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers. He said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream: The sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
وَقَصَّهُ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَعَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ، فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ أَبُوهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْحُلْمُ ٱلَّذِي حَلُمْتَ؟ هَلْ نَأْتِي أَنَا وَأُمُّكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ لِنَسْجُدَ لَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟» ١٠ 10
He told it to his father just as to his brothers, and his father rebuked him. He said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground to you?”
فَحَسَدَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَحَفِظَ ٱلْأَمْرَ. ١١ 11
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
وَمَضَى إِخْوَتُهُ لِيَرْعَوْا غَنَمَ أَبِيهِمْ عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ. ١٢ 12
His brothers went to tend their father's flock in Shechem.
فَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِيُوسُفَ: «أَلَيْسَ إِخْوَتُكَ يَرْعَوْنَ عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ؟ تَعَالَ فَأُرْسِلَكَ إِلَيْهِمْ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَأَنَذَا». ١٣ 13
Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers tending the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” Joseph said to him, “I am ready.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱنْظُرْ سَلَامَةَ إِخْوَتِكَ وَسَلَامَةَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَرُدَّ لِي خَبَرًا». فَأَرْسَلَهُ مِنْ وَطَاءِ حَبْرُونَ فَأَتَى إِلَى شَكِيمَ. ١٤ 14
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and bring me word.” So Jacob sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and Joseph went to Shechem.
فَوَجَدَهُ رَجُلٌ وَإِذَا هُوَ ضَالٌّ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. فَسَأَلَهُ ٱلرَّجُلُ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا تَطْلُبُ؟» ١٥ 15
A certain man found Joseph. Behold, Joseph was wandering in a field. The man asked him, “What do you seek?”
فَقَالَ: «أَنَا طَالِبٌ إِخْوَتِي. أَخْبِرْنِي «أَيْنَ يَرْعَوْنَ؟». ١٦ 16
Joseph said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are tending the flock.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ: «قَدِ ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَا، لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى دُوثَانَ». فَذَهَبَ يُوسُفُ وَرَاءَ إِخْوَتِهِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ فِي دُوثَانَ. ١٧ 17
The man said, “They left this place, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'” Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، قَبْلَمَا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِمِ، ٱحْتَالُوا لَهُ لِيُمِيتُوهُ. ١٨ 18
They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they plotted against him to kill him.
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هُوَذَا هَذَا صَاحِبُ ٱلْأَحْلَامِ قَادِمٌ. ١٩ 19
His brothers said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is approaching.
فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ نَقْتُلْهُ وَنَطْرَحْهُ فِي إِحْدَى ٱلْآبَارِ وَنَقُولُ: وَحْشٌ رَدِيءٌ أَكَلَهُ. فَنَرَى مَاذَا تَكُونُ أَحْلَامُهُ». ٢٠ 20
Come now, therefore, let us kill him and cast him into one of the pits. We will say, 'A wild animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams.”
فَسَمِعَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَقَالَ: «لَا نَقْتُلُهُ». ٢١ 21
Reuben heard it and rescued him from their hand. He said, “Let us not take his life.”
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَأُوبَيْنُ: «لَا تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا. اِطْرَحُوهُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْبِئْرِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلَا تَمُدُّوا إِلَيْهِ يَدًا». لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِيَرُدَّهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. ٢٢ 22
Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to bring him back to his father.
فَكَانَ لَمَّا جَاءَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ أَنَّهُمْ خَلَعُوا عَنْ يُوسُفَ قَمِيصَهُ، ٱلْقَمِيصَ ٱلْمُلَوَّنَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، ٢٣ 23
It came about that when Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his beautiful garment.
وَأَخَذُوهُ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي ٱلْبِئْرِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْبِئْرُ فَكَانَتْ فَارِغَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَاءٌ. ٢٤ 24
They took him and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty with no water in it.
ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا. فَرَفَعُوا عُيُونَهُمْ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا قَافِلَةُ إِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ مُقْبِلَةٌ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ حَامِلَةٌ كَثِيرَاءَ وَبَلَسَانًا وَلَاذَنًا، ذَاهِبِينَ لِيَنْزِلُوا بِهَا إِلَى مِصْرَ. ٢٥ 25
They sat down to eat bread. They lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh. They were traveling to carry them down to Egypt.
فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «مَا ٱلْفَائِدَةُ أَنْ نَقْتُلَ أَخَانَا وَنُخْفِيَ دَمَهُ؟ ٢٦ 26
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
تَعَالَوْا فَنَبِيعَهُ لِلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ، وَلَا تَكُنْ أَيْدِينَا عَلَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ أَخُونَا وَلَحْمُنَا». فَسَمِعَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ. ٢٧ 27
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands upon him. For he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
وَٱجْتَازَ رِجَالٌ مِدْيَانِيُّونَ تُجَّارٌ، فَسَحَبُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَبَاعُوا يُوسُفَ لِلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ بِعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. فَأَتَوْا بِيُوسُفَ إِلَى مِصْرَ. ٢٨ 28
The Midianite merchants passed by. His brothers drew Joseph up and lifted him up out of the pit. They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites carried Joseph into Egypt.
وَرَجَعَ رَأُوبَيْنُ إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَإِذَا يُوسُفُ لَيْسَ فِي ٱلْبِئْرِ، فَمَزَّقَ ثِيَابَهُ. ٢٩ 29
Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. He tore his clothes.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ وَقَالَ: «ٱلْوَلَدُ لَيْسَ مَوْجُودًا، وَأَنَا إِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ؟». ٣٠ 30
He returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is not there! And I, where can I go?”
فَأَخَذُوا قَمِيصَ يُوسُفَ وَذَبَحُوا تَيْسًا مِنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى وَغَمَسُوا ٱلْقَمِيصَ فِي ٱلدَّمِ. ٣١ 31
They slaughtered a goat and then took Joseph's garment and dipped it into the blood.
وَأَرْسَلُوا ٱلْقَمِيصَ ٱلْمُلَوَّنَ وَأَحْضَرُوهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ وَقَالُوا: «وَجَدْنَا هَذَا. حَقِّقْ أَقَمِيصُ ٱبْنِكَ هُوَ أَمْ لَا؟». ٣٢ 32
Then they brought it to their father and said, “We found this. Please see whether it is your son's clothing or not.”
فَتَحَقَّقَهُ وَقَالَ: «قَمِيصُ ٱبْنِي! وَحْشٌ رَدِيءٌ أَكَلَهُ، ٱفْتُرِسَ يُوسُفُ ٱفْتِرَاسًا». ٣٣ 33
Jacob recognized it and said, “It is my son's clothing. A wild animal has devoured him. Joseph has certainly been torn to pieces.”
فَمَزَّقَ يَعْقُوبُ ثِيَابَهُ، وَوَضَعَ مِسْحًا عَلَى حَقَوَيْهِ، وَنَاحَ عَلَى ٱبْنِهِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. ٣٤ 34
Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth upon his loins. He mourned for his son many days.
فَقَامَ جَمِيعُ بَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعُ بَنَاتِهِ لِيُعَزُّوهُ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَتَعَزَّى وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱبْنِي نَائِحًا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ». وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ. (Sheol h7585) ٣٥ 35
All his sons and daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “Indeed I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ فَبَاعُوهُ فِي مِصْرَ لِفُوطِيفَارَ خَصِيِّ فِرْعَوْنَ، رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ. ٣٦ 36
The Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard.
