Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Jakobo nodak e piny Kanaan, kuma ne wuon-gi odakie.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
Ma e nonro mar joka Jakobo. Kane Josef ja-higni apar gabiriyo, nohero kwayo jamb wuon-gi ka en kaachiel gi owetene ma yawuot Bilha kod yawuot Zilpa ma magi gin monde wuon-gi. To Josef nonyiso wuon-gi timbe moko maricho ma owetene ne timo.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made for him a coat of many colors.
Koro Israel nohero Josef moloyo yawuote mamoko, nikech en nyathi mane onywolne ka oseti, kendo nolosone law mar kandho maber.
4 And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. And they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Kane owetene oneno ni wuon-gi ohero Josef moloyogi, negidoko mamon kode kendo ne ok ginyal wuoyo kode maber.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
Chiengʼ moro Josef noleko, kendo kane onyiso owetene lekno, to owetene nomedo bedo mamon kode.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Nowachonegi niya, “Winjeuru kaka nende aleko:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. And, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Ne watweyo cham manie puodho eka apoya nono wi cham mane asetweyo nochungʼ tir, ka wiye chambu olworo wi chamba kendo okulorene.”
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Owetene nowachone niya, “Iparo ni inyalo telonwa? Bende inyalo telonwa adier?” Kendo negimedo bedo mamon kode nikech lekneno kod gimane owachonegi.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers. And said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream again. And, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Eka Josef nochako oleko lek machielo, kendo nowacho ne owetene lekno. Nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru lek machielo manyoro aleko ni wangʼ chiengʼ gi dwe kod sulwe apar gachiel kulorena.”
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Kane onyiso wuon-gi kaachiel gi owetene, wuon-gi nokwede kendo owachone niya, “Ma en lek manade manyoro ilekoni? Iparo ni minu kod an kod oweteni nyalo biro kuloreni mondo omiyi duongʼ?”
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
Owetene ne nyiego omako kode, to wuon-gi to ne okano wechego e chunye.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Koro noyudo owete Josef kwayo jamb wuon-gi machiegni gi Shekem,
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Kaka ingʼeyo ni oweteni kwayo jamni machiegni gi Shekem; koro bi mondo aori irgi.” Josef nodwoke niya, “Mano ber.”
14 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brothers, and well with the flock, and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Kuom mano nowachone niya, “Dhiyo kendo ineane ka oweteni dhi maber kod jamni, kendo iduogna wach.” Kamano nooro Josef koa e Holo mar Hebron. Kane Josef otundo Shekem,
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What do thou seek?
ngʼat moro noromo kode ka owuotho awuotha e thim mi openje niya, “Imanyo angʼo?”
16 And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
Nodwoke niya, “Adwaro owetena. Kinyisa kuma gikwayoe jambgi?”
17 And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Gisewuok ka. Ne awinjo kagiwacho ni gidhi Dothan.” Kuom mano Josef noluwo bangʼ owetene kendo noyudogi machiegni gi Dothan.
18 And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
To ne ginene kapod en mabor, kendo kane pok ochopo irgi, negichano mondo ginege.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neuru jalek lek cha biro!
20 Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits. And we will say, An evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Biuru mondo wanege kendo wawite e bungu moro achiel kendo wawach ni le moro mager nyonege. Eka mondo wane gima lekne biro timone.”
21 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Kane Reuben owinjo ma notemo mondo ores Josef e lwet owetene. Nowachonegi niya, “Kik wanege.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him, that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
Kik uchwer remo moro amora, witeuru e bugo manie thim kaeni, to kik uket lwetu kuome.” Reuben nowacho mondo ores Josef kendo odwoke ir wuon-gi.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,
Kuom mano kane Josef ochopo ir owetene ne gilonyo kandhone mane olos gi law maber kendo ma nengone tek,
24 and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
kendo ne gikawe mi giwite e bugo. Bugono ne ninono kendo pi ne onge e iye.
25 And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Kane gibet gichiemo negineno oganda mar jo-Ishmael koa Gilead. Ngamia notingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi mane-mane kod yiende moko, kendo negiterogi Misri.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Juda nowacho ne owetene niya, “Ere ohala ma wabiro yudo ka wanego owadwa kendo wapando rembe?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
Biuru mondo wause ne jo-Ishmael kendo kik waket lwetwa kuome; nikech en owadwa, ringrewa kendo rembwa.” Owetege noyie giwachno.
28 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Kuom mano kane jo-ohala ma jo-Midian ochopo machiegni, owete Josef noywaye oko e bugo kendo nouse kuom shekel piero ariyo mar fedha ne jo-Ishmaelgo, mane otere Misri.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Kane Reuben odok e bugo mane owit e Josef kendo oyudo ni Josef onge kanyo, noyiecho lepe.
30 and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
Nodok ir owetene mowachonegi niya, “Rawera cha onge kacha! Koro anyalo timo angʼo?”
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
Eka negikawo kandho Josef, mi giyangʼo diel kendo ginyumo kandho Josef e remb diel.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
Ne gitero ne wuon-gi kandho Josef mane olos maber kendo ma nengone tek kagiwacho niya, “Ne wayudo kandhoni. Range ane maber ka en mar wuodi.”
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
Israel nofwenyo kendo owacho niya, “Ma en kandho wuoda! Le moro mager nonege. En adier ni le mager onego Josef mokidhe matindo tindo.”
34 And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Eka Jakobo noyiecho lepe, morwako pien gugru kendo noywago Josef wuode kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
35 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 to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Yawuote kod nyige duto nobiro mondo ohoye, to notamore ahoya. Nowacho niya, “Ooyo, abiro ywago wuoda nyaka atho aluw bangʼe.” Kuom mano wuon-gi noywage. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
To jo-Midian nouso Josef e piny Misri ne Potifa, achiel kuom jotich mag Farao, jaduongʼ jorit od ruoth.
