Genesis 37 (RHG)

1Yakub Kenan dešot taka šuru goijje, ze dešot hibar baf bidešitta hisabe takkil.Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.

2In oilde Yakubor bongšor kahani. Yusuf, ek hõtoro bosojja zuwan, báiyaindor fũwati soolor zãk okkol soraito; hiba gura bafor bouwain Bilhah edde Zilpar futaindor fũwati takito, edde hitarar ku-asaror babute hóbor bafor hãse anito.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.

3Israile hibar fuwain beggunottuwaro Yusufore beši ador gorito, kiyollahoile hite aššilde hibar bura halor fut; hitare ugguwa lamba kuruta banai dil.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.

4Hitarar bafe Yusufore hitarattuwaro beši ador gorede dekiyore, hitare ingša gorito edde hitar loi hono hota šundor gori hoi no farito.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.

5Bade Yusufe ek šoppon deikke, edde hin zehon hitar báiyaindore hoiye, hitara Yusufore aro beši ingša goijje.Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

6Hibaye hitarare hodde, "Funo, ãi ekkan šoppon dekki:He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:

7So, ãra gĩyũ kũṛat tara bandir, ar so, ãr tarawa uṛi tiyaiye, ar tũwarar taragune ãr tarawar sairo ḍakottu tiyaiyore hibare soida goijje."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.”

8Toi hitar báiyainde hitare hodde, "Tui ki hãsa ãrar uwore razagiri goribi? Tui ki hãsa ãrar uwore šašon solaibi?" Hitar šoppon edde hotalla buli hitara hitare aro beši ingša goijje.“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.

9Bade Yusufe aro ekkan šoppon deikke, edde hiyanore hitar báiyaindore hoiye. Hite hodde, "So, ãi aro ekkan šoppon dekilam, ar so, beile, sande edde egarowa taraye ãre soida goredde dekilam."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.”

10Hite zehon hitar bafore edde báiyaindore hoiye, bafe hitare dõk diye edde hodde, "Tui in hondilla šoppon dekkili? Ãi, tor ma edde tor báiyain okkol, beggune aiyore ki hãsa tor sarme meṛit soida foijjum?"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?”

11Hitar báiyainde hitar loi riš gora šuru goijje, kintu hitar bafe he hota monot rakidiye.And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.

12Ek bar Yusufor báiyainde Šekimot hitarar bafor soolor zãk soraito giye,Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.

13toi Israile Yusufore hodde, "Tor báiyainde Šekimot soolor zãk soradde no ne? Ikka ai, ãi tore hitarar hãse defeṛai." Yusufe hodde, "Oto, ãi aišši."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.

14Toi bafe hodde, "Tui zaiyore tor báiyain edde soolor zãkgun ken ase nai sagoi, edde aiyore ãr hãse zanais." Toi hibaye hitare Hebronor ḍeilottu defeṛaiye. Yusuf Šekimot fõsiyore,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,

15ekzon manuše hitare lot faiye, ar so, maṛot gura fira goredde dekiyore he manušwaye fusar goredde: "Tui kiyor talaš gorodde?"a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”

16Yusufe hodde, "Ãi ãr báiyaindor talaš goridde, meherbani gori ãre ekka ho, hitara goru sool hoṛe sorar?"“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”

17Manušwaye hodde, "Hitara entu giyegoi. Ãi hitara 'Aio, ãra Dotanot zai' hen hodde funnilam." Toi Yusufe báiyaindor talašot Dotanot giye, heṛe hitarar lot faiye.“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.

18Hitara Yusuf aiyedde durottu loti deikke edde hitarar hãse no fõsibar agottu, hitara hitare marifelaibolla felain goijje.Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.

19Hitara ekzonore ekzone hodde, "Oi so, šoppon dekoya aiyer!“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.

20Aio, ãra hitare mari felai, bade hono ek faṭkuwat felai di, bade hoiyum, hitare hono fahari zanuware hái felaiye. Tarfore hitar šopponor doša ki o saiyum."“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!”

21Kintu Rubene zehon ei hota funniye, hitarar hatottu Yusufore basaito saiye. Hite hodde: "No, ãra hitare zane mari no felai,When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.

22lou no bayo; hitare eṛe bošotisara elehar ei faṭkuwat maze felai do, kintu hitar uwore hat no tuillo." Rubene endilla hoiyede oilde Yusufore hitarar hatottu basaibolla edde hitare bafor hãse uwafes firai loizai faribolla.“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.

23Toi Yusuf zehon báiyaindor hãse fõisse, hitar gat finda aššilde he šundojja lamba kurutawa faṛi kuli loifelaye.So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—

24Toi hitara hibare dori faṭkuwawat felai diye. Faṭkuwawa hali aššil, ar heṛe hono fani no aššil.and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.

25Tarfore hitara hána haito boišše, hen šomot hitara suk tuli saiye, ar so, Giliyad name ek zagattu ek dol Ismaili šodori goroya aiyer. Hitara ũṛor fiṛot gori kušbo mosolla, rezom edde duf, hin okkol loi Mišor dešot zadde.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.

26Toi Ehudaye hitar báiyaindore hodde, "Báiware marifelaiyore lukai erile ãrar ki lab oibo?Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?

27Aio, ãra hitare ei Ismaili okkolor hãse besifelai, hitar gat hat no di, kiyollahoile hite to ãrar nizor bái, ek lou-gustor." Ar hitar báiyainde he hota fuinne.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.

28Toi Midiyaniyo šodori goroya okkol zehon hitarar ḍake aišše, hitara Yusufore faṭkuwattu tuille ṭani tuille edde kuriwa rufar ṭiyar bodole hitare he Ismaili okkolor hãse besifelaiye, ar hitara Yusufore Mišorot loiainne.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.

29Bade Rubene faṭkuwar ḍake firi giye edde dekedde Yusuf heṛe nai, henot hite nizor hor faiṭṭe,When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,

30hitar báiyaindor hãse firi giye edde hodde: "Fuwawa to nai, ãi hoṛe zaiyum?"returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”

31Bade hitara Yusufor kurutawa loiye, ar uggwa soolor so zorgorai he kurutaware louwot buraiye.Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.

32Toi hitara he lamba kurutaware hitarar bafor hãse defeṛaiye edde hodde: "Ãra iba faiyi. Tũi bala gori so iba tũwar futor kuruta oi ne naki no?"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.”

33Hibaye kurutawa sini faijje edde hodde, "Iba to ãr futor kuruta, hitare hono fahari zanuware hái felaiye. Yusufore hameka hanhan gorifelaiye."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!”

34Toi Yakube hibar nizor hoor faiṭṭe, kĩyailot salar šoṭ berai bout din foijjonto fuwalla šuk goijje.Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

35Hibar hár futain edde ziyainde hibare šantona dito saiye, kintu hiba hono bote šanti no o, aro hodde, "Ãi šuk goitte goitte ãr fuwar hãse fatalot zaiyumboi." Ar bafe futolla handat roiye.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.

36Ar eṛe Midiyaniyo okkole Yusufore Mišor dešot Feruwanor ofisar okkolor butore Putifar name ekzon fahardar okkolor soddaror hãse besifelaiye.Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
