Genesis 37
1 Jacob continued to live in the Canaan region where his father had lived previously.
야곱이 가나안 땅 곧 그 아비의 우거하던 땅에 거하였으니
2 (This is/I will now tell you) what happened to Jacob’s family. When his son Joseph was 17 years old, he was taking care of the flocks of sheep and goats with some of his older brothers. They were sons of his father’s (concubines/female slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives). Joseph sometimes told his father about bad things that his brothers were doing.
야곱의 약전이 이러하니라 요셉이 십 칠세의 소년으로서 그 형제와 함께 양을 칠 때에 그 아비의 첩 빌하와 실바의 아들들로 더불어 함께 하였더니 그가 그들의 과실을 아비에게 고하더라
3 Jacob loved Joseph more than he loved any of his other children, because Joseph had been born when Jacob was an old man. Jacob made for Joseph a long pretty robe that had long sleeves.
요셉은 노년에 얻은 아들이므로 이스라엘이 여러 아들보다 그를 깊이 사랑하여 위하여 채색옷을 지었더니
4 When Joseph’s older brothers realized that their father loved him more than he loved any of them, they hated him. They never spoke kindly to him.
그 형들이 아비가 형제들보다 그를 사랑함을 보고 그를 미워하여 그에게 언사가 불평하였더라
5 One night Joseph had a dream. He told his brothers about the dream.
요셉이 꿈을 꾸고 자기 형들에게 고하매 그들이 그를 더욱 미워하였더라
6 He said to them, “Listen to the dream I had!
요셉이 그들에게 이르되 `청컨대 나의 꾼 꿈을 들으시오
7 In the dream, we were tying up bundles of wheat in the field. Suddenly my bundle stood up straight, and surprisingly, your bundles gathered around my bundle and bowed down to it!”
우리가 밭에서 곡식을 묶더니 내 단은 일어서고 당신들의 단은 내 단을 둘러서서 절하더이다'
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you think that some day you will rule over us? Are you [saying that some day] you are going to be our king?” [RHQ] They hated him even more than before because of what he had told them about his dream.
그 형들이 그에게 이르되 `네가 참으로 우리의 왕이 되겠느냐? 참으로 우리를 다스리게 되겠느냐?' 하고 그 꿈과 그 말을 인하여 그를 더욱 미워하더니
9 Later he had another dream, and again he told his older brothers about it. He said, “Listen to this! I had another dream. In this dream, the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me!”
요셉이 다시 꿈을 꾸고 그 형들에게 고하여 가로되 `내가 또 꿈을 꾼즉 해와 달과 열한 별이 내게 절하더이다' 하니라
10 He also told his father about it. His father rebuked him, saying “What are you suggesting by that dream [RHQ]? Do you think it means that your mother and I and your older brothers will some day bow down to the ground in front of you?” [RHQ]
그가 그 꿈으로 부형에게 고하매 아비가 그를 꾸짖고 그에게 이르되 `너의 꾼 꿈이 무엇이냐 나와 네 모와 네 형제들이 참으로 가서 땅에 엎드려 네게 절하겠느냐?'
11 Joseph’s older brothers were furious/angry with him, but his father just kept thinking about what the dream meant.
그 형들은 시기하되 그 아비는 그 말을 마음에 두었더라
12 One day Joseph’s older brothers went to take care of their father’s sheep and goats that were eating grass near Shechem.
그 형들이 세겜에 가서 아비의 양떼를 칠 때에
13 Some time later, Jacob said to Joseph, “Your brothers are taking care of the sheep and goats near Shechem [RHQ]. I am going to send you there to see them.” Joseph replied, “Okay.”
이스라엘이 요셉에게 이르되 `네 형들이 세겜에서 양을 치지 아니하느냐? 너를 그들에게로 보내리라' 요셉이 아비에게 대답하되 `내가 그리하겠나이다'
14 Jacob said, “Go and see if they are doing okay, and if the flocks are doing okay. Then come back and give me a report.” So Jacob sent Joseph from [the valley where they were living], the valley where Hebron is located, [to go north] to find his brothers. When Joseph arrived near Shechem [city],
이스라엘이 그에게 이르되 `가서 네 형들과 양떼가 다 잘 있는 여부를 보고 돌아와 내게 고하라' 하고 그를 헤브론 골짜기에서 보내매 이에 세겜으로 가니라
15 while he was wandering around in the fields looking/searching for his brothers, a man saw him and asked him, “Whom are you looking/searching for?”
어떤 사람이 그를 만난즉 그가 들에서 방황하는지라 그 사람이 그에게 물어 가로되 `네가 무엇을 찾느냐?'
16 Joseph replied, “I am looking for my older brothers. Can you tell me where they are taking care of their sheep and goats?”
그가 가로되 `내가 나의 형들을 찾으오니 청컨대 그들의 양치는 곳을 내게 가르치소서'
17 The man replied, “They are not here any more. I heard one of them saying, ‘Let’s take the sheep and goats and go to Dothan [town].’” So Joseph left there and went north, and found his older brothers near Dothan.
그 사람이 가로되 `그들이 여기서 떠났느니라 내가 그들의 말을 들으니 도단으로 가자 하더라' 요셉이 그 형들의 뒤를 따라 가서 도단에서 그들을 만나니라
18 But they saw him when he was still far away, and they decided to kill him.
요셉이 그들에게 가까이 오기 전에 그들이 요셉을 멀리서 보고 죽이기를 꾀하여
19 They said to each other [things like], “Here comes that dreamer!”
서로 이르되 `꿈 꾸는 자가 오는도다
20 and “Hey, let’s kill him, and then throw his body into one of the pits/cisterns. Then we will tell people that a ferocious/wild animal attacked and killed him and ate him. And then we will (find out whether his dreams come true/make sure that his dreams do not come true)!”
자, 그를 죽여 한 구덩이에 던지고 우리가 말하기를 악한 짐승이 그를 잡아먹었다 하자 그 꿈이 어떻게 되는 것을 우리가 볼 것이니라' 하는지라
21 Reuben heard what they were saying, so he tried to persuade them not to kill [MTY] Joseph. He said, “No, we should not kill him.
르우벤이 듣고 요셉을 그들의 손에서 구원하려 하여 가로되 `우리가 그 생명은 상하지 말자'
22 Do not even shed his blood! We can throw him into this pit/cistern in the desert, but we should not harm him [MTY].” He said that, and then left them, planning to rescue Joseph later and take him back to his father.
르우벤이 또 그들에게 이르되 `피를 흘리지 말라 그를 광야 그 구덩이에 던지고 손을 그에게 대지 말라' 하니 이는 그가 요셉을 그들의 손에서 구원하여 그 아비에게로 돌리려 함이었더라
23 So when Joseph arrived where his older brothers were, they seized him and ripped off his pretty robe with long sleeves.
요셉이 형들에게 이르매 그 형들이 요셉의 옷 곧 그 입은 채색옷을 벗기고
24 Then they took him and threw him into the pit/cistern. But the pit/cistern was dry; there was no water in it.
그를 잡아 구덩이에 던지니 그 구덩이는 빈 것이라 그 속에 물이 없었더라
25 After they sat down to eat some food, they looked up and saw a (caravan/group [of traders]), descendants of Ishmael, coming from the Gilead area. Their camels were loaded with bags of spices and nice-smelling resins. They were going down to Egypt to sell those things there.
그들이 앉아 음식을 먹다가 눈을 들어 본즉 한떼 이스마엘 족속이 길르앗에서 오는데 그 약대들에 향품과, 유향과, 몰약을 싣고 애굽으로 내려가는지라
26 Judah said to his [older and younger] brothers, “If we kill our younger brother and hide his body, (what will we gain?/we will not gain anything!) [RHQ]
유다가 자기 형제에게 이르되 `우리가 우리 동생을 죽이고 그의 피를 은익한들 무엇이 유익할까?
27 So, instead of harming him, let’s sell him to these men who are descendants of Ishmael. Don’t forget, he is our own younger brother!” So they all agreed to do that.
자, 그를 이스마엘 사람에게 팔고 우리 손을 그에게 대지 말자 그는 우리의 동생이요 우리의 골육이니라' 하매 형제들이 청종하였더라
28 When those traders from the Midian area came near, Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the pit/cistern. Then they sold him to the men from Midian for 20 pieces of silver. The traders then took Joseph to Egypt.
때에 미디안 사람 상고들이 지나는지라 그들이 요셉을 구덩이에서 끌어 올리고 은 이십개에 그를 이스마엘 사람들에게 팔매 그 상고들이 요셉을 데리고 애굽으로 갔더라
29 When Reuben returned to the pit/cistern, he saw that his younger brother was not there. He was so grieved that he tore his clothes.
르우벤이 돌아와서 구덩이에 이르러 본즉 거기 요셉이 없는지라 옷을 찢고
30 He went back to his [younger] brothers and said, “The boy is not in the pit/cistern! What can I do now?” [RHQ]
아우들에게로 와서 가로되 `아이가 없도다 나는 나는 어디로 갈까?'
31 [Joseph’s brothers did not dare to tell their father what they had done. So, they decided to invent a story about what had happened]. They got Joseph’s robe. Then they killed a goat and dipped the robe in the goat’s blood.
그들이 요셉의 옷을 취하고 수염소를 죽여 그 옷을 피에 적시고
32 They took that pretty robe back to their father and said, “We found this robe! Look at it. Is it your son’s robe?”
그 채색옷을 보내어 그 아비에게로 가져다가 이르기를 `우리가 이것을 얻었으니 아버지의 아들의 옷인가 아닌가 보소서' 하매
33 He recognized it, and he said, “Yes, it is my son’s robe! Some ferocious/wild animal must have attacked and killed him! I am sure that the animal has torn Joseph to pieces!”
아비가 그것을 알아보고 가로되 `내 아들의 옷이라 악한 짐승이 그를 먹었도다 요셉이 정녕 찢겼도다' 하고
34 Jacob was so grieved that he tore his clothes. He put on (sackcloth/clothes that people wear when they are mourning for someone who has died). He mourned/cried for his son for many days.
자기 옷을 찢고 굵은 베로 허리를 묶고 오래도록 그 아들을 위하여 애통하니
35 All of his children came to try to comfort him, but he did not pay attention to what they said. He said, “No, I will still be mourning/crying when I die and go to be with my son.” So Joseph’s father continued to cry because of what had happened to his son. (Sheol h7585)
그 모든 자녀가 위로하되 그가 그 위로를 받지 아니하여 가로되 `내가 슬퍼하며 음부에 내려 아들에게로 가리라' 하고 그 아비가 그를 위하여 울었더라 (Sheol h7585)
36 In the meantime, the men/traders from Midian took Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, who was one of the king’s officials. He was the captain of the soldiers who protected the king.
미디안 사람이 애굽에서 바로의 신하 시위대장 보디발에게 요셉을 팔았더라
