1. 1LUGYakobo yabeeranga mu Kanani, ensi bajjajjaabe mwe baatambuliratambuliranga.BSBBSB: Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
2. 2LUGEra bino bye bifa ku lulyo lwa Yakobo: Yusufu bwe yali nga wa myaka kkumi na musanvu ng’ali ne baganda be batabani ba Biira ne Zirifa, nga balunda ekisibo ky’endiga, Yusufu n’ategeezanga Yakobo kitaabwe ebintu ebibi bye baakolanga.BSBBSB: This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
3. 3LUGBw’atyo Isirayiri n’ayagala nnyo Yusufu okusinga abaana be abalala, kubanga nga ye mwana ow’omu bukadde bwe; n’amutungira ekyambalo eky’amabala amangi.BSBBSB: Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a robe of many colors.
4. 4LUGNaye baganda ba Yusufu bwe baalaba nga kitaabwe amwagala okusinga bo ne bakyawa Yusufu, ne batayinza na kwogera naye na kisa.BSBBSB: When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
5. 5LUGLumu Yusufu n’aloota ekirooto, n’agenda n’akitegeeza baganda be, ne beeyongera nnyo okumukyawa.BSBBSB: Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
6. 6LUGYabagamba nti, “Muwulire ekirooto kino kye naloose.BSBBSB: He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
7. 7LUGTwali tusiba ebinywa by’eŋŋaano nga tuli mu nnimiro, ekinywa kyange ne kiyimuka ne kiyimirira; laba ebinywa byammwe ne bikyebungulula ne bikivuunamira.”BSBBSB: We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.”
8. 8LUGBaganda be ne bamugamba nti, “Olowooza olitufuga? Olowooleza ddala nti tulibeera baddu bo?” Olwo ne beeyongera nnyo okumukyayira ddala olw’ekirooto kye n’ebigambo bye.BSBBSB: “Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and his statements.
9. 9LUGAte n’aloota ekirooto ekirala n’akitegeeza baganda be, n’agamba nti, “Ndoose ekirooto ekirala: ne ndaba enjuba n’omwezi n’emmunyeenye ekkumi n’emu nga binvuunamira.”BSBBSB: Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
10. 10LUGNaye bwe yakitegeeza kitaawe ng’ali wamu ne baganda be, kitaawe n’amunenya ng’agamba nti, “Kirooto ki kino ky’oloose? Ddala nze ne nnyoko awamu ne baganda bo tulijja ne tuvuunama mu maaso go?”BSBBSB: He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
11. 11LUGBaganda be ne bamukwatirwa obuggya, kyokka ye kitaabwe n’akuuma ekigambo ekyo mu mutima gwe.BSBBSB: And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
12. 12LUGAwo baganda ba Yusufu ne bagenda okumpi ne Sekemu okulunda ekisibo kya kitaabwe.BSBBSB: Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
13. 13LUGIsirayiri n’alyoka agamba Yusufu nti, “Nga baganda bo bwe balundira e Sekemu, jjangu nkutume gye bali.” Yusufu n’amuddamu nti, “Nzuuno ntuma.”BSBBSB: Israel said to him, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flocks at Shechem? Get ready; I am sending you to them.” “I am ready,” Joseph replied.
14. 14LUGN’alyoka amugamba nti, “Genda kaakano olabe obanga baganda bo n’ekisibo bali bulungi, okomewo ontegeeze.” Awo n’amutuma okuva mu kiwonvu kya Kebbulooni, n’atuuka e Sekemu.BSBBSB: Then Israel told him, “Go now and see how your brothers and the flocks are faring, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. And when Joseph arrived in Shechem,
15. 15LUGAwo omusajja n’amulaba ng’atangatangira ku ttale, n’amubuuza nti, “Onoonya ki?”BSBBSB: a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
16. 16LUGN’amuddamu nti, “Noonya baganda bange, nkwegayiridde mbuulira gye balundira ekisibo.”BSBBSB: “I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
17. 17LUGOmusajja n’amuddamu nti, “Beeyongerayo, kubanga nabawulira nga bagamba nti, ‘Ka tugende e Dosani.’ ” Awo Yusufu n’agoberera baganda be n’abasanga e Dosani.BSBBSB: “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18. 18LUGBaganda be ne bamulengera ng’akyali wala, era bwe yali nga tannabasemberera ne bateesa bamutte.BSBBSB: Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
19. 19LUGNe bagambagana nti, “Sekalootera wuuyo ajja.BSBBSB: “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
20. 20LUGKale mujje tumutte, tumusuule mu kimu ku binnya; tuligamba nti, ‘Ensolo enkambwe ye yamulya; tulabe ebirooto bye bwe birituukirira.’ ”BSBBSB: “Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”
21. 21LUGNaye Lewubeeni bwe yakiwulira n’agezaako okumuwonya mu mikono gyabwe n’agamba nti, “Tetumutta.BSBBSB: When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
22. 22LUGTuleme kuyiwa musaayi; ka tumusuule mu bunnya buno wano mu nsiko. Temumuteekako mukono gwammwe.” Yayogera bw’atyo alyoke amuwonye mu mikono gyabwe, amuddize kitaawe.BSBBSB: “Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this so that he could rescue Joseph from their hands and return him to his father.
23. 23LUGAwo Yusufu bwe yatuuka ku baganda be ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo kye eky’amabala amangi kye yali ayambadde:BSBBSB: So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
24. 24LUGne bamutwala ne bamusuula mu bunnya obwali obukalu nga tebuliimu mazzi.BSBBSB: and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
25. 25LUGAwo bwe baatuula okulya, ne bayimusa amaaso ne balengera ekibiina ky’Abayisimayiri nga bava e Gireyaadi, ng’eŋŋamira zaabwe zeettise ebyakaloosa, n’envumbo ne mooli nga bali mu lugendo babitwala e Misiri.BSBBSB: And as they sat down to eat a meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh on their way down to Egypt.
26. 26LUGYuda kwe kugamba baganda be nti, “Kitugasa ki okutta muganda waffe n’okuyiwa omusaayi gwe?BSBBSB: Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
27. 27LUGTumuguze Abayisimayiri. Omukono gwaffe guleme okumubaako, kubanga muganda waffe, omubiri gwaffe gwennyini.” Baganda be ne bakkiriziganya naye.BSBBSB: Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.
28. 28LUGAbasuubuzi, Abayisimayiri bwe baabatuukako ne baggya Yusufu mu bunnya, ne bamuguza Abayisimayiri. Baamubaguza ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi abiri; ne bamutwala e Misiri.BSBBSB: So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
29. 29LUGLewubeeni bwe yadda n’alaga ku bunnya n’alaba nga Yusufu taliimu, n’ayuza engoye ze,BSBBSB: When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
30. 30LUGn’addayo eri baganda be n’abagamba nti, “Omwana taliiyo. Kale naamunoonyeza wa?”BSBBSB: returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
31. 31LUGAwo ne baddira ekyambalo kya Yusufu, ne batta embuzi, ne bakinnyika mu musaayi.BSBBSB: Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
32. 32LUGNe baddira ekyambalo ekyo eky’amabala amangi ne bakitwalira kitaabwe ne bamugamba nti, “Twalaba ekyambalo kino, kikebere olabe obanga kye kya mutabani wo.”BSBBSB: They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe or not.”
33. 33LUGN’akyetegereza n’agamba nti, “Kye kyambalo kya mutabani wange! Ensolo enkambwe yamulya. Ddala Yusufu yataagulwataagulwa.”BSBBSB: His father recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
34. 34LUGAwo Yakobo n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’akungubagira Yusufu okumala ebbanga ddene.BSBBSB: Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35. 35LUGBatabani be bonna ne bawala be ne bagenda gy’ali okumusanyusa, kyokka ye n’atakkiriza kusanyusibwa. N’agamba nti, “Nedda, ndikka emagombe nga nkyakungubagira omwana wange Yusufu.” Bw’atyo Yakobo n’akungubagira nnyo Yusufu.BSBBSB: All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to Sheol mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him.
36. 36LUGMu kiseera kyekimu Abamidiyaani bwe baatuuka e Misiri, Yusufu ne bamuguza Potifali, omu ku bakungu ba Falaawo; omukungu oyo ye yali omukulu wa bambowa.BSBBSB: Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
