< Genesis 37 >

1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Nitoetse an-tane Kanàne nañialoan-drae’e ao t’Iakòbe.
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.
Ie ty talili’ ty hasavereña’ Iakòbe. Ie nifolo-tao-fito-amby t’Iosefe le niarake añondry mindre amo raha­lahi’eo, ie mbe niajalahy naho nindre amo ana’ i Bilhae naho amo ana’ i Zilpae, valin-drae’eo, vaho ninday talily raty iareo aman-drae’e añe t’Iosefe.
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.
Nikokoa’ Israele mandikoatse o ana’e iabio t’Iosefe, amy t’ie ty ana’ i haantera’ey vaho namboara’e saroñe lava soa vahotse.
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.
Ie nioni’ o rahalahi’eo te nisohen-drae’e mandikoatse iareo le nalaim-bintañe aze vaho tsy nahafirehak’ am-panintsiñañe ama’e.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
Teo te nañinofy t’Iosefe, le natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo, f’ie nañìndra ty falai’ iareo aze.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Hoe ty asa’e ama’e, Ehe janjiño ty nofy ninofiseko toy.
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.
Teo tika namehe taho an-tetek’ ao. Nitroatse amy zao i fehekoy le niadaoro eo, le ingo niariseho ahy ey ty fehe’ areo nibokok’ amy fehe-tahokoy.
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.
Hoe o rahalahi’eo ama’e, Toe ihe hao ty hame­lek’ anay? Vata’e hifehe anay v’iheo? Aa le niindra ty falaim-binta’ iareo ty amo nofi’eo naho o asa’eo.
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.
Nañinofy indraike, vaho natalili’e amo rahalahi’eo. Inao ty nofiko tovo’e: naheoko te nibotrek’ amako i àndroy, i volañey vaho ty vasiañe folo raik’amby.
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?
Aa ie natalili’e aman-drae’e naho amo rahalahi’eo le nañendak’ aze ty rae’e ami’ty hoe: Nofy manao akore o nofise’oo? Toe hene hidrakadrakak’ an-tane ama’o hao zahay naho i rene’o vaho o rahalahi’oo?
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
Aa le nitsikirìk’ aze o rahalahi’eo, fe nitsakorèn-drae’e i asa’ey.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Nañavelo mb’e Sikeme añe o raha­lahi’eo hampiandrazeñe i lia-rain-drae’ey.
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.
Le hoe t’Israele am’Iosefe, Tsy miarake i lia-raikey e Sikeme añe hao o rahalahi’oo? Antao arè, hiraheko mb’am’iereo mb’eo. Tinoi’e ty hoe, Intoy iraho.
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.
Aa le hoe re ama’e, Akia, sario ke mbe soa avao iereo naho mbe soa ka o mpirai-liao; le mibaliha mb’amako mb’etoa aman-talily. Aa le nampihitrife’e mb’eo boak’ am-bavatane’ i Khebrone ao mb’e Sikeme mb’eo,
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?
le teo ty ondaty nanjo aze nirererere an-kivok’ ey, vaho nañontanea’ indatiy, Ino ty paia’o.
16 And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
Mipay o rahalahikoo ‘ni-raho, hoe re, Ehe, ampahafohino ahy ty fian­draza’ iareo añondry.
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.
Hoe indatiy, Fa nienga iereo, Inao ty tsinanoko am’ iereo, Antao ho mb’e Dotane mb’eo. Aa le nihitrike mb’ amo rahalahi’eo re vaho tendrek’ am’iereo e ­Dotane añe.
18 And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Nitalakese’ iereo, le ie mbe tsy marine ro nikilily hañohofan-doza ama’e.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
Hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo, Hehe, mb’etoa i mpañinofiy,
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.
antao arè hamono aze naho hagodon-tika an-kadaha ao; naho hatalilin-tika te nabotse’ ty biby romotse, vaho ho onin-tika ty figadoña’ o nofi’eo.
21 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
F’ie jinanji’ i Reòbene, le navotso’e am-pità’ iareo ami’ty hoe, Tsy hamitak’ ate aze tika.
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.
Tinovo’ i Reòbene am’iereo ty hoe, Ko mampiori-dio; afetsaho an-kadaha an-jerezere tane atoy, fa ko mipao-tañañe ama’e—ie te hamotso­tse aze am-pità’ iareo hampolia’e aman-drae’e.
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,
Aa naho pok’ amo rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe, le hinalo’ iareo am’ Iosefe i saro’ey, i saroñe lava ama’ey,
24 and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
le rinambe’ iereo vaho nafetsa’ iereo an-kadaha ao. Nikapaike i kadahay, tsy aman-drano.
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.
Niambesatse amy zao iereo nikama; fa ie nampiandra fihaino le nahaisake lia-rain-te-Iesmaèle nan­govo­vòke boak’ e Gileade añe an-drameva ninday fisoman­tsaike naho fihosotse vaho lite, nizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Le hoe t’Ièhodà amo rahalahi’eo, Ino ty tombo’e ho an-tika te vonoeñe i rahalahin-tikañey naho etaheñe i lio’ey?
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.
Antao handetak’ aze amo nte-Iesmaèleo le tsy hampidoñan-tañantika, amy te rahalahintika, toe nofon-tikañe. Le nihaoñe’ o rahalahi’eo.
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.
Ie nim-beo o mpanao takinake nte-Midianeo le tinari’ iereo, nañakatse Iosefe amy kadahay vaho naleta’ iereo volafoty roapolo amo nte-Iesmaèleo vaho nendese’ iareo mb’e Mitsraime añe t’Iosefe.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Nibalike mb’amy kadahay mb’eo t’i Reòbene naho naheo’e te tsy an-kadaha ao t’Iosefe, vaho rinia’e o saro’eo.
30 and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
Nivalike mb’amo rahalahi’eo re nanao ty hoe, Tsy eo i ajalahiy, le izaho! aia ty hombako?
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
Aa le rinambe’ iareo i saro’ey, le nandenta vik’ose, vaho nalo’ iareo ami’ty lio’e ao i saroñey.
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.
Nahitrik’ añe i saro-vinahotsey, naho nendese’ iareo aman-drae’e ami’ty hoe, Ingo ty nizoe’ay, ehe vazoho ke ie i saron’ ana’oy, ke tsie.
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.
Napota’e, le nanao ty hoe, Saron’ anako toy! Navorembore’ ty biby hako, tsy mikalafo te rinomidromitse t’Iosefe.
34 And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Rinia’ Iakòbe amy zao o saro’eo naho nisadia gony vaho nandala i ana-dahi’ey andro maro.
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)
Hene niongake hañohoñe aze o ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’e iabio, f’ie nifoneñe tsy hohoñeñe, ami’ty hoe, Aiy, hizotso mb’an-tsikeo­keoke mb’ aman’ ana-dahiko iraho an-kontoke. Izay ty fangoihoian-drae’e aze; (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
Toe naleta’ o nte-Midi­aneo e Mitsraime añe re, amy Potifare, roandria’ i Parò, talèm-pigaritse.
