Bilowgii 37
1 Yacquubna wuxuu degay dhulkii aabbihiis qariibka ku ahaan jiray, oo ahaa dalkii Kancaan.
Jacob settled down and lived in Canaan as his father had done.
2 Kuwanuna waa farcankii Yacquub. Yuusuf, isagoo jira toddoba iyo toban sannadood, ayuu idaha la daajinayay walaalihiis, wuxuuna ahaa wiil la jooga wiilashii Bilhah iyo Silfah oo ahaa naagihii aabbihiis. Markaasuu Yuusuf xaggooda war xun uga keenay aabbahood.
This is the story of Jacob and his family. Joseph was seventeen, and helped look after the flock with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph told his father about some of the bad things his brothers were doing.
3 Israa'iilna Yuusuf wuu ka jeclaa carruurtiisa oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa inankuu dhalay markuu gaboobay; oo wuxuuna u sameeyey shulug midabyo badan leh.
Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him when he was already old. He made a colorful robe with long sleeves for Joseph.
4 Markaasaa walaalihiis arkeen in aabbahood ka jecel yahay isaga walaalihiis oo dhan; kolkaasay nebcaadeen isagii, wayna kari waayeen inay isaga si nabad ah ula hadlaan.
When his brothers noticed that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and had nothing good to say about him.
5 Yuusufna wuu riyooday, markaasuu riyadiisii u sheegay walaalihiis, iyana aad bay u sii nebcaadeen.
Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.
6 Oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, bal maqla riyadan aan ku riyooday.
“Listen to this dream I had,” he told them.
7 Bal eega, waxaynu beerta ku xidhxidhaynay xidhmooyin, markaasaa xidhmadaydii kacday, oo istaagtay, xidhmooyinkiinniina hareeraheeday yimaadeen oo u sujuudeen xidhmadaydii.
“We were tying up bundles of grain out in the fields when all of a sudden my bundle stood up, and your bundles came over and bowed down to it.”
8 Markaasaa walaalihiis ku yidhaahdeen, Ma annagaad na xukumi doontaa? Amase noo talin doontaa? Markaasay aad iyo aad ugu sii nebcaadeen riyooyinkiisii iyo hadalladiisii aawadood.
“Do you really think you're going to be our king?” they asked. “Do you honestly believe you're going to rule over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and how he described it.
9 Markaasuu haddana riyo kale ku riyooday, oo walaalihiis u sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, riyo kalaan ku riyoodaye. Waxaan ku riyooday qorraxdii iyo dayaxii, iyo koob iyo toban xiddigood oo ii sujuuday.
Then he had another dream told his brothers about it. “Listen, I had another dream,” he explained. “The sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down before me.”
10 Markaasuu aabbihiis u sheegay, iyo walaalihiisba, aabbihiisna waa canaantay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay riyadan aad ku riyootay? Ma aniga iyo hooyadaa iyo walaalahaa baa kuu iman doonna, oo intaan wejiga dhulka saarno kuu sujuudi doonna?
He also told his father as well as his brothers, and his father told him off, saying, “What's this dream that you've had? Are we—I and your mother and brothers—really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”
11 Markaasay walaalihiis ka masayreen isagii; laakiinse aabbihiis maankuu ku haystay hadalkii.
Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream.
12 Markaasaa walaalihiis tageen, inay adhigii aabbahood soo daajiyaan Shekem.
One day Joseph's brothers took their father's flocks to graze near Shechem.
13 Israa'iilna wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Miyaanay walaalahaa adhigii daajinayn Shekem? Bal kaalay, xaggoodaan kuu dirayaaye. Markaasuu isna ku yidhi, Waa i kan.
Israel told Joseph, “Your brothers are looking after the sheep near Shechem. Get ready because I want you to go and see them.” “I'll do it,” Joseph replied.
14 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Bal tag oo soo arag in walaalahaa iyo adhigiiba nabad qabaan iyo in kale, oo haddana ii war keen. Sidaas daraaddeed isagii wuxuu ka diray dooxadii Xebroon, oo wuxuu tegey Shekem.
So he told him, “Off you go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, and come back and let me know.” So he sent him off. Joseph set out from the Hebron Valley,
15 Markaasaa nin helay isagoo duurka wareegaya; ninkiina wax buu weyddiiyey oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad doondoonaysaa?
and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan doondoonayaa walaalahay. Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg meesha ay adhigii daajinayaan.
“I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?”
17 Markaasaa ninkii ku yidhi, Halkan way ka tageen, waayo, waxaan maqlay iyagoo isku leh, Ina keena aynu Dotaan tagnee. Markaasuu Yuusuf walaalihiis ka daba tegey, oo wuxuu iyagii ka helay Dotaan.
“They've already left,” the man replied. “I heard them say, ‘Let's go to Dothan.’” So Joseph followed his brothers and caught up with them at Dothan.
18 Markaasay meel fog ka arkeen isagii, oo intuusan u soo dhowaan iyagii, ayay ku tashadeen inay dilaan.
But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans to kill him.
19 Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Bal eega, kii riyada badnaa waa soo socdaaye.
“Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
20 Haddaba kaalaya aynu dilnee, oo aynu ku tuurno ceelasha midkood, oo waxaynu odhan doonnaa, Bahal xun baa cunay. Dabadeedna waxaynu arki doonnaa bal waxay riyooyinkiisii noqdaan.
“Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to his dreams!”
21 Oo Ruubeen baa taas maqlay, isagiina wuu ka samatabbixiyey gacantoodii; oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yeynan naftiisa ka qaadin.
When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.
22 Kolkaasaa Ruubeen ku yidhi iyagii, Dhiig ha daadinina, ee isaga ku tuura ceelkan cidlada ku yaal, laakiinse far ha saarina. Oo wuxuu taas u yeelay inuu isaga ka samatabbixiyo gacantooda oo uu u celiyo aabbihiis.
“Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home to his father.
23 Oo waxay noqotay in markii Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimid ay Yusuuf ka furteen shuluggiisii, kaasu wuxuu ahaa shuluggii midabyada badnaa oo uu qabay.
So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
24 Kolkaasay qabteen oo ay ceelkii ku tuureen; ceelkuna waa madhnaa oo biyo kuma jirin.
grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
25 Kolkaasay u fadhiisteen inay wax cunaan; dabadeedna indhahay kor u taageen oo wax bay fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen safar reer Ismaaciil ah oo ka soo socda xagga Gilecaad, oo awrtooda ay ugu raran yihiin xawaash, iyo beeyo, iyo malmal, waxayna u socdeen xagga Masar.
They were just sitting down to have a meal when they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying aromatic spices, balm, and myrrh to take to Egypt.
26 Markaasuu Yahuudah ku yidhi walaalihiis, Maxaa faa'iido inoogu jirta, haddaynu walaalkeen dilno oo aynu dhiiggiisa qarinno?
“What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
27 Kaalaya, aynu reer Ismaaciil ka iibinnee, oo yeynan isaga far saarin, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa walaalkeen, waana jidhkeenna. Walaalihiisna way maqleen isagii.
Instead, why don't we sell him to these Ishmaelites? We don't have to kill him. After all he's our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.
28 Oo waxaa ag maray niman reer Midyaan ah, oo baayacmushtariyaal ah. Markaasay Yuusuf soo jiideen oo ceelkii ka soo bixiyeen, oo waxay Yuusuf kuwii reer Ismaaciil kaga iibiyeen labaatan xabbadood oo lacag ah. Oo iyana Yuusuf waxay keeneen Masar.
So when the Ishmaelites (who were traders from Midian) came by, they pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites took him to Egypt.
29 Markaasaa Ruubeen ku noqday ceelkii; wuxuuna arkay inuusan Yuusuf ku jirin ceelka, kolkaasuu dharkiisii dildillaaciyey.
When Reuben came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief.
30 Markaasuu walaalihiis ku noqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yarkii ma joogo, haddaba anigu xaggee baan tagaa?
He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
31 Kolkaasay shuluggii Yuusuf qaadeen oo intay orgi gowraceen ayay shuluggii dhiiggii geliyeen.
They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's robe in the blood.
32 Markaasay shuluggii midabyada badnaa direen, oo ay aabbahood u keeneen; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Kan waannu helnay, haddaba bal garo inuu shuluggii wiilkaagii yahay iyo in kale.
Then they sent the colorful robe to their father with the message, “We found this. Please examine it and see if it's your son's robe or not.”
33 Wuuna gartay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waa shuluggii wiilkayga. Bahal xun baa cunay isagii. Shakila'aan Yuusuf cadcad baa loo kala jeexjeexay.
His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!”
34 Markaasaa Yacquub dharkiisii dildillaaciyey, oo joonyad buu dhexda ku xidhay, wiilkiisiina maalmo badan ayuu u barooranayay.
Jacob tore his clothes in grief and dressed in sackcloth. He mourned the death of his son for a long time.
35 Kolkaasaa wiilashiisii oo dhan iyo gabdhihiisii oo dhammu u kaceen inay isaga qalbi qaboojiyaan, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu qalbi qaboobo, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qabriga geli doonaa oo wiilkaygii u tegi doonaa. Aabbihiisna wuu u ooyay isagii. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he rejected their attempts. “No,” he said, “I will go down into my grave mourning for my son.” So Joseph's father went on weeping for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Markaasay kuwii reer Midyaan isagii Masar kaga iibiyeen nin la odhan jiray Footiifar, wuxuuna ahaa sirkaalkii Fircoon oo ahaa madaxa waardiyayaasha.
In the meantime the Ishmaelites had arrived in Egypt and had sold Joseph to Potiphar. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh's officers, the captain of the guard.
