Genesis 37 (WLO)

1Yakub amboore i lipu mbooresana amana amembali dhaga, siitumo i Tana Kanaan.Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.

2O siimo tulatulana siwuluna Yakub. Wakutuuna Yusuf dhaangia mangura, 17 tao umuruna, incia amananea awulu kadhambaaka gulumana bhembe dumba apobhawa tee manga witinaina. Incia apoose tee manga anana Bilha tee Zilpa, rua miaia bhawinena amana. Tee Yusuf sadia apakawaaka lele madhaki to manga witinaina i amana.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.

3Israel atolabhi kaasina tee Yusuf minaaka i bhari-bharia anana mosagaanana, roonamo Yusuf molaahirina i wakutuuna incia amancuanamo. Incia atumpua mamudhaakana akarajaakamea satuwu juba momakesana mpuu.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.

4Wakutuuna manga witinaina akamatea ande amana manga alabhi amaasiaka Yusuf minaaka i bhari-bharia witinaina, sumaimo manga incia uka amarikaia tee inda apogauakea malape.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.

5Saangu wakutuu Yusuf apongipi, kasiimpo incia apetulatulaakea o pongipina sumai i manga witinaina. Sabutuna manga witinaina ahandamo amarikaia.Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

6Apogaumo Yusuf i manga incia, "Rangoa pongipiku sii.He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:

7Kamataana ingkita tangasaana tabhoke manga kancena gandum i inawu. Saanampuu kancena gandumku akakaro amakate kasiimpomo aumbamo manga kancena gandummiu atiingi kancena gandumku tee asuju ahoromati."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.”

8Pogauna manga witinaina i incia, "Indapo uka gaumu bheumembali raja to ingkami? Ingkoo usombo mpuu-mpuu tee ufikiri bheumangakuasai!" Jadi, manga incia ahandamo mpuu amarikaia roonamo pongipina tee pogauna sumai.“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.

9Sapadhana incia sumai, Yusuf apongipimo uka saangu pongipi mosagaanana, kasiimpomo apetulatulaakamea uka i manga witinaina, pogauna, "Rangoa, kupongipimo uka. Atokamatamo matanaeo, bula, tee sapulu sambaa kalipopo asuju ahoromatiaku."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.”

10Maka wakutuuna Yusuf apetulatulaaka pongipina sumai i amana tee manga witinaina, amana audhaniakea tee apogau, "Pongipi opea siitu? Indapo uka iaku, inamu, tee manga witinaimu bheaumba asuju tee ahoromatiko?"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?”

11Sumaimo manga witinaina akaura-uramo, maka amana adhikaia hali incia sumai i nuncana ngangarandana.And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.

12Saangu wakutuu manga witinaina Yusuf alingka ajagani gulumana bhembe dumbana amana manga i saripina Sikhem.Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.

13Kasiimpo Israel apogaumo i Yusuf, "Manga witinaimu tangasaana ajagani gulumana bhembe dumba i saripina Sikhem. Maipo, bhekutumpuko ulingka upokawaaka manga incia." Alawanimo Yusuf, "Umbe, Uma."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.

14Apogaumo uka i Yusuf, "Lingka tee kamatea kadhaangiana manga witinaimu tee bhari-bharia gulumana bhembe dumba. Sapadhana incia sumai, mbulimo tee pakoleleakaaku." Kasiimpo atumpumea Yusuf alingka alaloi Mbolongana Hebron. Yusuf uka akawamo i Sikhem.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,

15Iwe sumai, incia alipa mai i tana mokorumpu, kasiimpo apokawa tee samia umane moabhana i incia, "Opea ipeelomu?"a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”

16Lawanina, "Kupeelo manga witinaiku. Tulungi paumbaakaaku iapai manga ajagani kadhambaakana."“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”

17Mia incia sumai apogau, "Manga incia adhencumo minaaka iwe sii, roonamo kurangoa manga apogau, 'Maimo talingkaaka i Dotan.' Sabutuna alingkamo Yusuf atutunia, kasiimpo apokawaakamo manga witinaina i Dotan.“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.

18Wakutuuna incia dhaangiapo amaridho, manga witinaina akamatamea. Maka wakutuuna Yusuf indapo amakasumea, manga incia padhamo apomufakati to apekamatea.Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.

19Apogaumo manga samia tee sagaanana, "Kamatea pande pongipi aumbamo!“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.

20Sii-sii, maimo tapekamatea, kasiimpomo tabhanaka maeatina i nuncana sala saangu sumu iwe sii. Kasiimpo tapogauakamo ande incia akandea binata masega. Dhaampo takamatea, opea bhemomembalina tee manga pongipina sumai!"“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!”

21Maka wakutuuna Ruben arango hali incia sumai, incia aʼusaha apasalaamati Yusuf minaaka i limana manga incia, pogauna, "Bholi tapekamatea!"When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.

22Ruben apogau uka i manga incia, "Bholi ubusakaakea raa, soo bhanakamo i nuncana sumu modhaangiana i tana matuu sii, maka bholi kia-kiaia." Incia ahaejati bheapasalaamatiaka Yusuf minaaka i limana manga witinaina tee apambulia pendua i amana.“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.

23Jadi, mboo sumai Yusuf akawa i tampana manga witinaina, manga incia arambasakea jubana, siitumo juba momakesana mpuu ipakena sumai.So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—

24Kasiimpo abhawamo incia tee abhanakea i nuncana saangu sumu inda mokouwena.and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.

25Sapadhana incia sumai, auncuramo manga to akande. Wakutuuna manga incia apatinda potontona, atiumbamo dhaangia saangu rombongana miana Ismail moumbana minaaka i Gilead. Untana manga incia sumai aulea manga polona kau rampa, mina balsam, tee polona kau mawondu to abhawea i Mesir.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.

26Kasiimpomo apogaumo Yuda i manga witinaina, "Opea labana ingkita tapekamate andita tee tabuniakea raana?Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?

27Maimo taasoa i miana Ismail sii. Bholi takia-kiaia, roonamo incia sii andita, saraa sadagi tee ingkita." Sumaimo, manga witinaina uka aundapia.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.

28Wakutuuna manga dhaga miana Midian alalo, Yusuf ahelaia tee aangkea minaaka i nuncana sumu sumai, kasiimpomo aasoa i manga miana Ismail tee haragaana 20 tibha doi pera. Kasiimpomo manga mia sumai abhawamea i Mesir.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.

29Wakutuuna Ruben ambuli pendua i sumu sumai, akamatea ande Yusuf indamo dhaangia i nuncana sumu. Lausakamo incia abhenci pakeana rampaakanamo amapii mpuu incana.When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,

30Incia ambulimo i manga witinaina tee apogau, "Anana incia sumai indamo dhaangia uka! Opea to ipewauku sii-sii?"returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”

31Kasiimpo, manga incia asumbelemo sambaa bhembe umane, kasiimpo aalamo jubana Yusuf tee apalondoa i nuncana raana bhembe.Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.

32Padha incia sumai, manga incia atumpu samia uka to abhawa juba momakesana mpuu i amana manga tee asamea, "Ingkami tapotibhaaka juba incia sii. Parakisaaia, buaka sii jubana anana Uma atawa mencuana?"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.”

33Yakub aparakisaamea, kasiimpomo apogau, "Incia sii jubana anaku! Binata masega mokandea! Tantumo Yusuf padhamo apobhembaruakea o binata sumai!"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!”

34Kasiimpomo Yakub abhencimo pakeana tee apakanamo kae kasara abhokea i tangana rampaakanamo amapii mpuu incana. Incia atangisia amangenge.Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

35Bhari-bharia anana, malape umane atawa bhawine, aʼusahamo awujua, maka incia inda atowuju. Pogauna, "Inda! Tee kasukaraku iaku bhekusapo kupokawa tee anaku i alamu manga mia momate." Mboo sumaimo Yusuf atangisia o amana.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.

36Tangasaana incia sumai, i Tana Mesir, Yusuf aasoa o miana Midian i saao i Potifar, samia pagawena maligena Firaun, kapalana mojaganina raja Mesir.Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
