Genesis 37
1 Now Jacob was living in the land where his father had made a place for himself, in the land of Canaan.
Jacob el mutana in acn Canaan, yen papa tumal tuh muta we,
2 These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a boy seventeen years old, was looking after the flock, together with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph gave their father a bad account of them.
ac pa inge sramsram ke sou lal Jacob. Joseph el sie mwet fusr yac na singoul itkosr, ac el wi mwet lel liyaung sheep ac nani uh. Mwet lel inge ma natul Bilhah ac Zilpah, mutan kulansap luo kien papa tumaltal ah. Joseph el tukakin nu sin papa tumal ma koluk mwet wial inge oru.
3 Now the love which Israel had for Joseph was greater than his love for all his other children, because he got him when he was an old man: and he had a long coat made for him.
Jacob el lungse Joseph yohk liki mwet lel nukewa, mweyen el isusyang nu sel ke el arulana matu. Jacob el orala sie nuknuk na oa lal ma loes pao.
4 And because his brothers saw that Joseph was dearer to his father than all the others, they were full of hate for him, and would not say a kind word to him.
Ke tamulel lal liye lah papa tumalos el kuloel Joseph yohk lukelos nukewa, elos arulana kwasel Joseph, pwanang elos tia ku in kaskas kulang nu sel.
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he gave his brothers an account of it, which made their hate greater than ever.
Sie pacl ah Joseph el oru mweme se, ac ke el srumunang nu sin tamulel lal, elos srungal yohk liki meet ah.
6 And he said to them, Let me give you the story of my dream.
El fahk, “Lohng mweme se nga oru inge.
7 We were in the field, getting the grain stems together, and my grain kept upright, and yours came round and went down on the earth before mine.
Kut nukewa muta inima ah, ac kapri kahp in wheat. Na kahp se luk ah tuyak suwosak nu lucng, a kahp lowos ah raunela kahp se luk ah, ac pasrla nu kac.”
8 And his brothers said to him, Are you to be our king? will you have authority over us? And because of his dream and his words, their hate for him became greater than ever.
Na tamulel wial ah siyuk sel, “Ya kom nunku mu kom ac tokosra ac leum facsr?” Ke ma inge yokelik srunga lalos nu sel liki meet, ke sripen mweme se lal ah, oayapa ke ma el fahk kaclos.
9 Then he had another dream, and gave his brothers an account of it, saying, I have had another dream: the sun and the moon and eleven stars gave honour to me.
Tok Joseph el sifilpa oru sie mweme ac fahk nu sin mwet lel, “Nga oru pac mweme se ac nga liye mu faht ah, malem ah, ac itu singoul sie pasrla nu sik.”
10 And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?
El fahkang pac mweme sac nu sin papa tumal, ac papa tumal ah mulat nu sel ac fahk, “Mweme fuka se ingan? Ya kom nunku mu nga, ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom, in tuku epasr nu sum?”
11 And his brothers were full of envy; but his father kept his words in mind.
Tamulel lal Joseph ah kewa elos sok sel, tusruktu papa tumal ah nunku na ma inge nukewa.
12 Now his brothers went to keep watch over their father's flock in Shechem.
Sie len ah ke tamulel lal Joseph elos som tari nu Shechem in liyaung un kosro nutin papa tumalos,
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers with the flock in Shechem? come, I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga lungse kom in som nu Shechem, yen tamulel lom elos liyaung kosro uh we.” Ac Joseph el topuk, “Kwal nga ac som.”
14 And he said to him, Go now, and see if your brothers are well and how the flock is; then come back and give me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Papa tumal el fahk nu sel, “Fahsrot liye lah tulik wiom an fuka, ac kosro natusr ah fuka, na foloko fahk nu sik.” Ouinge papa tumal ah supwalla, el som liki Infalfal Hebron. Joseph el sun acn Shechem
15 And a man saw him wandering in the country, and said to him, What are you looking for?
ac forfor uten acn uh, na mwet se liyalak ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom suk an?”
16 And he said, I am looking for my brothers; please give me word of where they are keeping their flock.
Ac el fahk, “Nga suk tamulel luk ma muta liyaung un kosro natulos uh. Kom ku in fahk nu sik lah eltal oasr ya?”
17 And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.
Ac mwet sac fahk, “Eltal som tari. Nga lohng ke eltal fahk mu eltal ac som nu Dothan.” Ke ma inge Joseph el som tokoltal ac konaltalak Dothan.
18 But they saw him when he was a long way off, and before he came near them they made a secret design against him to put him to death;
Elos ngetla liyalak ke el fahsr srakna loes nu yorolos, ac meet liki el sonolos elos orek pwapa sulal ac wotela mu elos ac unilya.
19 Saying to one another, See, here comes this dreamer.
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mukul mweme ah pa fahsru ingo.
20 Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams.
Akola kut in unilya, ac siselang nu in sie luf inge. Kut fah tuh fahk mu kosro sulallal ah unilya. Kut in liye lah mweme lal ah ac fuka.”
21 But Reuben, hearing these words, got him out of their hands, saying, Let us not take his life.
Reuben el lohng pwapa lalos, ac srike in molella Joseph. El fahk, “Tari kut tia unilya.
22 Do not put him to a violent death, but let him be placed in one of the holes; this he said to keep him safe from their hands, with the purpose of taking him back to his father again.
Kut siselang na nu in sie luf inge, ac tia oru kutena ma nu sel.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el akoo elan molella ac folokunulla nu yurin papa tumal ah.
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they took off his long coat which he had on;
Ke Joseph el tuku sonolos, elos seya nuknuk oa se lal ma loes pao ah,
24 And they took him and put him in the hole: now the hole had no water in it.
na elos usalla ac siselang nu in luf se wangin kof loac.
25 Then seating themselves, they took their meal: and looking up, they saw a travelling band of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead on their way to Egypt, with spices and perfumes on their camels.
Ke elos mongo, elos ngetla liyauk un mwet Ishmael se su tuku Gilead me in som nu Egypt. Camel natulos us pak pukanten ma sessesla ke mwe akyuye mongo ac ono keng.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is there in putting our brother to death and covering up his blood?
Judah el fahk nu sin mwet wial, “Wo fuka se kut ac eis kut fin uniya tamulel se lasr, na tari wikin ma kut oru?
27 Let us give him to these Ishmaelites for a price, and let us not put violent hands on him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers gave ear to him.
Kut kukakunulla nu sin mwet Ishmael inge. Fin ange, na kut ac tia enenu in unilya. Saya na, ma wiasr pa el ac kut srah sefanna.” Tamulel lal elos insese nu kac,
28 And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.
ac ke kutu mwet kuka Midian elos fahsryak, na mwet wial Joseph elos amakunulak liki luf sac, ac kukakunulang su sin mwet Ishmael inge ke ipin silver longoul. Na elos usal som nu Egypt.
29 Now when Reuben came back to the hole, Joseph was not there; and giving signs of grief,
Ke Reuben el foloko nu ke luf sac ac liyauk lah Joseph el wangin we, el seya nuknuk lal ke asor.
30 He went back to his brothers, and said, The child is gone; what am I to do?
El folokla nu yurin mwet wial ac fahk, “Tulik sac wanginla in luf sac! Mea nga ac oru uh?”
31 Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,
Na elos uniya nani soko ac twenya nuknuk lal Joseph ah ke srahn nani soko ah.
32 And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?
Elos usla nuknuk sac nu yurin papa tumalos, ac fahk, “Kut konauk nuknuk se inge. Ya ma lun wen se nutum ah?”
33 And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.
El akilenak ac fahk, “Aok, ma lal! Kalem lah kosro sulallal ah unilya. Joseph, wen nutik, el seseyuki!”
34 Then Jacob, giving signs of grief, put on haircloth, and went on weeping for his son day after day.
Jacob el seya nuknuk lal ke asor, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa. El eoksra ke wen natul ah paht na.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him. (Sheol h7585)
Wen natul nukewa ac acn natul nukewa elos fahsreni nu yorol in srike in akfisrasrye asor lal, tuh el tia ku in kutongya asor lal, ac el fahk, “Nga ac asor na ke tulik se inge nwe ke na nga misa.” Ouinge el asor na kacl Joseph, kulo natul. (Sheol h7585)
36 And in Egypt the men of Midian gave him for a price to Potiphar, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house.
In pacl sac pacna, mwet Midian elos kukakunulla Joseph in acn Egypt nu sel Potiphar, sie sin mwet fulat lun tokosra lun facl Egypt. El pac pa sifen mwet topang su taran inkul lun tokosra.
