Kenehi 37
1 A i noho a Hakopa i te whenua i noho manene ai tona papa, i te whenua o Kanaana.
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Hakopa. Kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau o Hohepa, a i te whangai hipi ia, ratou ko ona tuakana; he taitama hoki ia i te taha o nga tama a Piriha, o nga tama a Tiripa, a nga wahine a tona papa: a ka kawea e Hohepa te kor ero kino mo ratou ki to ratou papa.
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.
3 Na i arohaina nuitia a Hohepa e Iharaira i ana tama katoa, no te mea ko te tama ia o tona koroheketanga: a ka hanga e ia tetahi koti purepure mona.
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.
4 A ka kite ona tuakana e arohatia nuitia ana ia e to ratou papa i ona tuakana katoa, na ka kino ratou ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i ahei te ata korero ki a ia.
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.
5 Na ka moe a Hohepa i tetahi moe, a ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana; ka nui haere ano to ratou kino ki a ia.
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 A i mea ia ki a ratou, Tena, whakarongo ki tenei moe i moe nei ahau:
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 Nana, i te paihere witi tatou i waenga mara, na ka whakatika ake taku paihere, a ka tu; ko te tino karapotinga mai o a koutou paihere, kei te piko iho ki taku paihere.
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.
8 Na ka mea ona tuakana ki a ia, Koia ranei ko koe hei kingi mo matou? hei rangatira ano ranei koe mo matou? Na ka nui haere ano to ratou kino ki a ia mo ana moe, mo ana kupu.
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.
9 A i moe ano ia i tetahi atu moe, a ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana, ka mea ia, Nana, tenei ano hoki tetahi moe i moe ai ahau; na, ko te ra me te marama, me nga whetu kotahi tekau ma tahi, e piko mai ana ki ahau.
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.
10 A ka korerotia e ia ki tona papa ratou ko ona tuakana: na ka whakatupehupehu tona papa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tenei moe i moe nei koe? Tera ranei matou, ko tou whaea, ko ou tuakana, e haere mai ki te piko ki a koe, ki te whenua?
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?
11 Na ka hae ona tuakana ki a ia; ko tona papa ia i mahara ki te kupu.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 Na ka haere ona tuakana ki te whangai i nga hipi a to ratou papa i Hekeme.
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 A ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kahore ianei ou tuakana i te whangai hipi i Hekeme? haere mai, me tono koe e ahau ki a ratou. Ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tena, haere, tirohia, kei te ora ranei ou tuakana, kei te ora ano ranei nga hipi; ka whakahoki mai ia i te korero ki ahau. Na ka tonoa atu ia e ia i te raorao o Heperona, a ka haere ia ki Hekeme.
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.
15 A ka tutaki tetahi tangata ki a ia, e pohehe ana hoki ia i te parae, a ka ui taua tangata ki a ia, He aha tau e rapu na?
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Na ka mea ia, E rapu ana ahau i oku tuakana: tena koa, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, kei hea ratou e whangai ana i te kahui.
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 Ka mea taua tangata, Kua riro atu ratou i konei; i rongo hoki ahau i a ratou e ki ana, Kia haere tatou ki Rotana. Na ka haere a Hohepa ki te whai i ona tuakana, a ka kitea ratou e ia ki Rotana.
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.
18 Na ka kite mai ratou i a ia i tawhiti, a, i te mea kahore ano ia i tata noa ki a ratou, ka whakatakoto whakaaro ratou mona kia whakamatea.
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, ko te moemoea tenei te haere mai nai.
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 Tena, tatou ka haere, ka patu i a ia, ka maka hoki i a ia ki tetahi o nga poka, a ka mea tatou, Na tetahi mohoao nanakia ia i kai: a ka kite tatou i te tukunga iho o ana moe.
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.
21 Na i rongo a Reupena, a ka whakaorangia ia e ia i roto i o ratou ringa; ka mea ia, Kaua ia e patua e tatou.
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 Ka mea ano a Reupena ki a ratou, Kaua e whakahekea he toto; maka atu ia ki roto ki tenei poka i te koraha nei, kaua hoki tetahi ringa e pa ki a ia; he mea hoki kia whakaora ai ia i a ia i roto i o ratou ringa, kia whakahoki ai ia i a ia ki tona papa.
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 A, i te taenga o Hohepa ki ona tuakana, ka huia e ratou te koti o Hohepa, te koti purepure e mau ana i a ia;
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 A mauria ana ia, maka ana e ratou ki te poka: he tuwhera kau ano te poka, kahore he wai o roto.
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 Na ka noho ratou ki te kai taro: a ka anga ake o ratou kanohi, na, ko tetahi tira Ihimaeri e haere mai ana i Kireara me a ratou kamera, he waha i nga mea kakara, i te pama, i te maira, e haere ana ki te kawe ki raro, ki Ihipa.
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.
26 Na ka mea a Hura ki ona tuakana ratou ko ona teina, He aha te pai o ta tatou patu i to tatou teina, o te huna hoki i ona toto?
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 Tatou ka haere, ka hoko i a ia ki nga Ihimaeri, a kaua o tatou ringa e pa ki a ia; ko to tatou teina nei hoki ia, ko to tatou kikokiko. A i whakaae ona tuakana ratou ko ona teina.
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.
28 Na ka haere mai nga Miriani, he hunga hokohoko: ka hutia ake e ratou a Hohepa i roto i te poka, a ka hokona atu a Hohepa e ratou ki nga Ihimaeri, ki nga hiriwa e rua tekau: a ka kawea a Hohepa e ratou ki Ihipa.
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.
29 A ka hoki mai a Reupena ki te poka; na, kohore a Hohepa i roto i te poka; a ka haea e ia ona kakahu.
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 Na ka hoki ia ki ona teina, ka mea, Kahore nei te tamaiti; a ko ahau, me haere ahau ki hea?
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 Na ka tango ratou i te koti o Hohepa, a ka patua he koati toa, ka tukua hoki te koti ki te toto;
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 Na ka hoatu te koti purepure kia kawea ki to ratou papa; ka mea ratou, I kitea tenei e matou; tena, tirohia ko te koti ranei o tau tama, ehara ranei?
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.
33 A ka mohiotia e ia, a ka mea ia, Ko te koti tenei o taku tama; kua kainga ia e te kirehe nanakia; kua tino haea rawatia a Hohepa.
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 Na ka haea e Hakopa ona kakahu, ka kakahuria e ia tona hope ki te kakahu taratara, a he maha nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tana tama.
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
35 Ka whakatika hoki ana tama katoa me ana tamahine katoa ki te whakamarie i a ia; a kihai ia i pai kia whakamarietia; ka mea ia, Engari ka heke tangi atu ahau ki taku tama ki te po. Na ka uhungatia ia e tona papa. (Sheol h7585)
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)
36 Na ka hokona atu ia e nga Miriani ki Ihipa ki a Potiwhara, ki tetahi o nga tangata nui a Parao, ki te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
