Genesis 37
1 Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
Yakub tinggal di Kanaan, tempat ayahnya dahulu menetap.
2 These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
Inilah riwayat keturunan Yakub. Pada waktu Yusuf berusia tujuh belas tahun, dia biasa menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba milik ayahnya bersama kakak-kakak tirinya, yaitu anak-anak Yakub dari Bilha dan Zilpa. Suatu hari, Yusuf melaporkan kepada ayahnya tentang berbagai kenakalan yang dilakukan kakak-kakaknya.
3 Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
Adapun Yakub lebih menyayangi Yusuf daripada anak-anaknya yang lain karena Yusuf lahir pada hari tuanya. Yakub menyuruh orang untuk membuatkan jubah yang indah berwarna-warni sebagai hadiah istimewa untuk Yusuf.
4 So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
Ketika kakak-kakaknya menyadari bahwa ayah mereka lebih sayang kepada Yusuf, mereka pun membenci Yusuf dan tidak mau lagi berbicara baik-baik dengan dia.
5 And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
Kebencian mereka semakin menjadi-jadi ketika Yusuf menceritakan mimpinya kepada mereka.
6 For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
Begini kata Yusuf, “Dengarkanlah, aku ingin menceritakan mimpiku.
7 Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
Dalam mimpiku, kita sedang bekerja bersama-sama mengikat gandum di ladang. Tiba-tiba ikatan gandumku berdiri, dan ikatan-ikatan gandum kalian mengelilingi dan bersujud kepada ikatan gandumku.”
8 Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
Jawab kakak-kakaknya, “Jadi, kamu pikir kamu akan memerintah dan berkuasa atas kami?!” Mereka pun semakin membenci Yusuf karena mimpi dan perkataannya itu.
9 Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
Kemudian Yusuf bermimpi lagi, dan dia menceritakannya kembali kepada kakak-kakaknya, “Aku bermimpi lagi. Dalam mimpi itu, aku melihat matahari, bulan, dan sebelas bintang bersujud kepadaku.”
10 Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
Ketika Yusuf menceritakan mimpinya itu kepada ayahnya, dia ditegur, “Mimpi apa lagi yang kamu mimpikan ini?! Kamu pikir aku, ibumu, dan saudara-saudaramu akan datang bersujud kepadamu?!”
11 And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
Kakak-kakaknya semakin iri kepada Yusuf, tetapi Yakub merenungkan perkataan dan arti dari mimpi itu.
12 Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
Pada suatu hari, ketika kakak-kakak Yusuf sedang menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba di Sikem,
13 And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
Yakub berkata kepada Yusuf, “Pergilah ke Sikem. Kakak-kakakmu sedang menggembalakan kawanan kambing domba di sana.” Jawab Yusuf, “Ya Ayah, aku akan pergi!”
14 And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Lanjut Yakub, “Lihatlah bagaimana keadaan kakak-kakakmu dan kawanan kambing domba kita, lalu kembalilah dan laporkan kepada ayah.” Demikianlah Yakub menyuruh Yusuf pergi meninggalkan Lembah Hebron. Sesampainya Yusuf di Sikem,
15 Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
dia berjalan ke sana kemari mencari kakak-kakaknya di padang. Seseorang melihat dia dan bertanya, “Kamu sedang mencari apa?”
16 And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
Jawab Yusuf, “Saya mencari kakak-kakak saya yang sedang menggembalakan ternak. Apakah kamu melihat mereka dan tahu ke mana mereka pergi?”
17 And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
Jawab orang itu, “Mereka sudah pergi. Saya mendengar mereka berkata, ‘Ayo kita ke Dotan.’” Maka Yusuf menyusul saudara-saudaranya dan menemukan mereka di Dotan.
18 And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
Ketika kakak-kakaknya melihat Yusuf dari jauh, mereka bersepakat untuk membunuhnya.
19 For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
Kata mereka satu sama lain, “Lihat, si tukang mimpi datang!
20 Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
Ayo kita bunuh dia, dan mayatnya kita buang ke dalam sumur kosong. Nanti kita katakan saja bahwa dia diterkam dan dimakan binatang buas. Kita lihat akan jadi apa mimpinya itu!”
21 But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
Ketika Ruben mendengar rencana itu, dia berkata, “Janganlah kita membunuhnya.” Ruben berniat menyelamatkan Yusuf dari tangan mereka dan membawa dia pulang kepada ayah mereka. Lanjut Ruben, “Jangan menumpahkan darah. Buang saja dia ke dalam sumur kosong di padang belantara ini, tetapi tidak usah menyakitinya.”
22 Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
Maka ketika Yusuf sampai kepada kakak-kakaknya, dengan kasar mereka langsung merenggut jubah Yusuf yang berwarna-warni itu
24 And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
dan membuang Yusuf ke dalam sumur yang kosong.
25 Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
Sesudah itu, mereka duduk untuk makan. Tak lama kemudian, tampaklah di kejauhan rombongan pedagang orang Ismael yang datang dari daerah Gilead menuju Mesir. Mereka menuntun unta-unta yang mengangkut tiga jenis wangi-wangian dari getah pohon.
26 Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
Lalu Yehuda berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, “Apa untungnya kalau kita membunuh Yusuf dan menyembunyikan mayatnya?
27 Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
Bagaimana kalau kita menjual dia kepada pedagang-pedagang itu? Dengan begitu, kita tidak membunuhnya, karena dia saudara kita dan satu ayah dengan kita.” Saudara-saudaranya pun setuju.
28 Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
Jadi, pada waktu pedagang-pedagang Midian yang adalah orang Ismael itu lewat, mereka mengeluarkan Yusuf dari sumur dan menjualnya kepada pedagang-pedagang itu seharga dua puluh keping perak. Lalu pedagang-pedagang itu membawa Yusuf ke Mesir.
29 Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
Ketika Ruben kembali ke sumur dan melihat bahwa Yusuf sudah tidak ada, dia merobek pakaiannya karena sangat menyesal.
30 And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
Lalu dia kembali kepada saudara-saudaranya dan berkata, “Anak itu sudah tidak ada di sumur! Apa yang harus aku lakukan?!”
31 And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
Mereka lalu membunuh seekor kambing dan mencelupkan jubah Yusuf ke dalam darah kambing itu.
32 So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
Mereka membawa jubah itu kepada ayah mereka dan berkata, “Kami menemukan ini. Periksalah. Apakah jubah ini milik anakmu?”
33 Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
Yakub mengenali jubah itu dan berkata, “Benar, ini jubah anakku Yusuf. Pasti binatang buas sudah mencabik-cabik dia sampai mati dan memakannya!”
34 And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
Yakub merobek-robek pakaiannya tanda berduka dan mengikat kain karung pada pinggangnya. Dia berkabung untuk anaknya itu selama berhari-hari.
35 Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Semua anak Yakub yang lain, baik perempuan maupun laki-laki, berusaha menghibur ayah mereka, tetapi dia tidak mau dihibur. Katanya kepada mereka, “Biarkan aku berduka sampai hari aku masuk ke Syeol!” Yakub terus bersedih karena Yusuf, anaknya. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
Sementara itu, di Mesir, para pedagang Midian menjual Yusuf kepada seorang komandan pengawal raja bernama Potifar.
