Genesis 37
1 And Iacob dwelt in the lande wherein his father was a straunger yt is to saye in the lande of Canaan.
habitavit autem Iacob in terra Chanaan in qua peregrinatus est pater suus
2 And these are the generations of Iacob: when Ioseph was. xvij. yere olde he kepte shepe with his brethren and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha and of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge yt was of them.
et hae sunt generationes eius Ioseph cum sedecim esset annorum pascebat gregem cum fratribus suis adhuc puer et erat cum filiis Balae et Zelphae uxorum patris sui accusavitque fratres suos apud patrem crimine pessimo
3 And Israel loued Ioseph more than all his childern because he begat hym in his olde age and he made him a coote of many coloures.
Israhel autem diligebat Ioseph super omnes filios suos eo quod in senectute genuisset eum fecitque ei tunicam polymitam
4 When his brothren sawe that their father loued him more than all his brethern they hated him and coude not speke one kynde worde vnto him.
videntes autem fratres eius quod a patre plus cunctis filiis amaretur oderant eum nec poterant ei quicquam pacificum loqui
5 Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreawe and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more.
accidit quoque ut visum somnium referret fratribus quae causa maioris odii seminarium fuit
6 And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed:
dixitque ad eos audite somnium meum quod vidi
7 Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo my shefe arose and stode vpright and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe.
putabam ligare nos manipulos in agro et quasi consurgere manipulum meum et stare vestrosque manipulos circumstantes adorare manipulum meum
8 Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us? And they hated hi yet the more because of his dreame and of his wordes.
responderunt fratres eius numquid rex noster eris aut subiciemur dicioni tuae haec ergo causa somniorum atque sermonum invidiae et odii fomitem ministravit
9 And he dreamed yet another dreame and told it his brethren saynge: beholde I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone and. xi. starres made obaysaunce to me.
aliud quoque vidit somnium quod narrans fratribus ait vidi per somnium quasi solem et lunam et stellas undecim adorare me
10 And when he had told it vnto his father and his brethern his father rebuked him and sayde vnto him: what meaneth this dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the grounde before the?
quod cum patri suo et fratribus rettulisset increpavit eum pater et dixit quid sibi vult hoc somnium quod vidisti num ego et mater tua et fratres adorabimus te super terram
11 And his brethern hated him but his father noted the saynge.
invidebant igitur ei fratres sui pater vero rem tacitus considerabat
12 His brethren went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem
cumque fratres illius in pascendis gregibus patris morarentur in Sychem
13 and Israell sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethern kepe in Sichem? come that I may send ye to the. And he answered here am I
dixit ad eum Israhel fratres tui pascunt oves in Sycimis veni mittam te ad eos quo respondente
14 And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe and brynge me worde agayne: And sent him out of the vale of Hebron for to go to Sichem.
praesto sum ait vade et vide si cuncta prospera sint erga fratres tuos et pecora et renuntia mihi quid agatur missus de valle Hebron venit in Sychem
15 And a certayne man founde him wandrynge out of his waye in the felde ad axed him what he soughte.
invenitque eum vir errantem in agro et interrogavit quid quaereret
16 And he answered: I seke my brethren tell me I praye the where they kepe shepe
at ille respondit fratres meos quaero indica mihi ubi pascant greges
17 And the man sayde they are departed hece for I herde them say let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren and founde them in Dothan.
dixitque ei vir recesserunt de loco isto audivi autem eos dicentes eamus in Dothain perrexit ergo Ioseph post fratres suos et invenit eos in Dothain
18 And whe they sawe him a farr of before he came at them they toke councell agaynst him for to sley him
qui cum vidissent eum procul antequam accederet ad eos cogitaverunt illum occidere
19 and sayde one to another Beholde this dreamer cometh
et mutuo loquebantur ecce somniator venit
20 come now and let us sley him and cast him in to some pytt and let vs saye that sonne wiked beast hath deuoured him and let us see what his dreames wyll come to.
venite occidamus eum et mittamus in cisternam veterem dicemusque fera pessima devoravit eum et tunc apparebit quid illi prosint somnia sua
21 When Ruben herde that he wet aboute to ryd him out of their handes and sayde let vs not kyll him.
audiens hoc Ruben nitebatur liberare eum de manibus eorum et dicebat
22 And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them shed not his bloude but cast him in to this pytt that is in the wildernes and laye no handes vpon him: for he wolde haue rydd him out of their handes and delyuered him to his father agayne.
non interficiamus animam eius nec effundatis sanguinem sed proicite eum in cisternam hanc quae est in solitudine manusque vestras servate innoxias hoc autem dicebat volens eripere eum de manibus eorum et reddere patri suo
23 And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto his brethren they strypte him out of his gay coote that was vpon him
confestim igitur ut pervenit ad fratres nudaverunt eum tunica talari et polymita
24 and they toke him and cast him in to a pytt: But the pytt was emptie and had no water therein.
miseruntque in cisternam quae non habebat aquam
25 And they satt them doune to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute there came a companye of Ismaelites from Gilead and their camels lade with spicery baulme and myrre and were goynge doune in to Egipte.
et sedentes ut comederent panem viderunt viatores Ismahelitas venire de Galaad et camelos eorum portare aromata et resinam et stacten in Aegyptum
26 Than sayde Iuda to his brethre what avayleth it that we sley oure brother and kepe his bloude secrett?
dixit ergo Iudas fratribus suis quid nobis prodest si occiderimus fratrem nostrum et celaverimus sanguinem ipsius
27 come on let vs sell him to the Ismaelites and let not oure handes be defyled vpon him: for he is oure brother and oure flesh. And his brethren were content.
melius est ut vendatur Ismahelitis et manus nostrae non polluantur frater enim et caro nostra est adquieverunt fratres sermonibus eius
28 Than as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by they drewe Ioseph out of the pytt and sold him vnto the Ismaelites for. xx. peces of syluer. And they brought him into Egipte.
et praetereuntibus Madianitis negotiatoribus extrahentes eum de cisterna vendiderunt Ismahelitis viginti argenteis qui duxerunt eum in Aegyptum
29 And when Ruben came agayne vnto the pytt and founde not Ioseph there he rent his cloothes
reversusque Ruben ad cisternam non invenit puerum
30 and went agayne vnto his brethern saynge: the lad is not yonder and whether shall I goo?
et scissis vestibus pergens ad fratres ait puer non conparet et ego quo ibo
31 And they toke Iosephs coote ad kylled a goote and dypped the coote in the bloud.
tulerunt autem tunicam eius et in sanguinem hedi quem occiderant tinxerunt
32 And they sent that gay coote and caused it to be brought vnto their father and sayd: This haue we founde: se whether it be thy sones coote or no.
mittentes qui ferrent ad patrem et dicerent hanc invenimus vide utrum tunica filii tui sit an non
33 And he knewe it saynge: it is my sonnes coote a wicked beast hath deuoured him and Ioseph is rent in peces.
quam cum agnovisset pater ait tunica filii mei est fera pessima comedit eum bestia devoravit Ioseph
34 And Iacob rent his cloothes ad put sacke clothe aboute his loynes and sorowed for his sonne a longe season.
scissisque vestibus indutus est cilicio lugens filium multo tempore
35 Than came all his sonnes ad all his doughters to comforte him. And he wold not be comforted but sayde: I will go doune in to ye grave vnto my sonne mornynge. And thus his father wepte for him. (Sheol h7585)
congregatis autem cunctis liberis eius ut lenirent dolorem patris noluit consolationem recipere et ait descendam ad filium meum lugens in infernum et illo perseverante in fletu (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Madianytes solde him in Egipte vnto Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: and his chefe marshall.
Madianei vendiderunt Ioseph in Aegypto Putiphar eunucho Pharaonis magistro militiae
