ZAJP
Yakobo kakala muisi yaakalile tataake kamba muhenza, isi ya Kanaani.
BSB
BSB:
Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had resided, the land of Canaan.
2
ZAJP
Ino iyo simulizi ya mulango wa Yakobo. Usufu viyakalile na milao longo dimwe na saba, kakala yochunga ng'hondolo na wakulu zake, wana wa Bilha na wana wa Zilpa watwanzi wa tataake. Usufu kamgalila tataake mbuli zihile ziwatendile wakulu zake.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Islaeli, ayo vivija yakemigwe Yakobo, kamnogela ng'hani Usufu kubanza wanage wasigale kwavija kamulela kipigiti cha uvyele wake, na kamtendela kanzu nhali ihambigwe.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Wakulu zake viwonile kamba tataao kamnogela heyo ng'hani kubanza hewo wose wasigale, wamwihila, na hawalongelele nayo goya.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Usufu kalota nzozi, na viyawalongele wakulu zake, wabanza kumwihila.
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
6
ZAJP
Kawalongela, “Tegelezeni nzozi ino inilotile.
BSB
BSB:
He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:
7
ZAJP
Tweye tose tukala kumgunda tufunga makinza ga ngano, nidukila kinza jangu dinuka na kwima wima na mikinza yenu izunguluka kinza jangu na kudinamilila mbaka hasi.”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Wakulu zake wamuuza, “Kokwagiza gweye kowa mndewa wetu, kokwagiza gweye kotutawala tweye?” Avo wamwihila ng'hani kabisa sama ya nzozi yake na mbuli zake.
BSB
BSB:
“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
ZAJP
Abaho Usufu kalota nzozi iyagwe na kuwalongela wakulu zake, “Nilota nzozi iyagwe. Zua na mulenge na nhondo longo dimwe na imwe zininamilila nie mbaka hasi.”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Ila viyamulongele tataake kamba viyawalongele wandugu zake, tataake kamkomhokela na kumulongela, “Nzozi yaki ino yuulotile! Mamaako na nie na wakulu zako tokwiza na kukunamilila gweye mbaka hasi?”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Avo wakulu zake wamonela migongo, ila tataake kazika mbuli zija mmoyo.
BSB
BSB:
And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
12
ZAJP
Vuzimalile mbuli zino, wakulu zake wachola kuchunga ng'hondolo za tataao behi na Shekemu.
BSB
BSB:
Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near Shechem.
13
ZAJP
Na Yakobo kamulongela Usufu, “Wakulu zako wachola Shekemu kuchunga ng'hondolo, isasale nolonda kukutuma kumwao.” Usufu kalonga, “Nhogola.”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Tataake kamulongela, “Genda ukawalole wakulu zako hamoja na iwang'hondolo kamba wana ugima, abaho ubwele unongele.” Avo tataake kamtuma Usufu kulawa Kudibonde da Hebloni. Viyavikile Shekemu,
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
munhu imwe kam'vika yozungulukazunguluka muluwala, kamuuza, “Kozahila choni hano?”
BSB
BSB:
a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
16
ZAJP
Kalonga, “Nowazahila wakulu zangu. Nilongele kwahi kowachungila ng'hondolo zao.”
BSB
BSB:
“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
17
ZAJP
Ija imunhu kalonga, “Wasegela hano kwavija niwahulika wolonga, ‘Tucholeni Dotani.’ ” Avo Usufu kawakoleleza wakulu zake, kawavika Dotani.
BSB
BSB:
“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
ZAJP
Wamona songela viyakalile kutali, na kipigiti hanawakwenhukila, wamwikila zundo da kumkoma.
BSB
BSB:
Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.
19
ZAJP
Wailongela, “Ayo mulota nzozi kokwiza.
BSB
BSB:
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
20
ZAJP
Izoni tumkome abaho tumwase mdikolongo dimwe mmwanza wa mikolongo ino. Tulonge mng'onyo wa kumuhulo kamkoma. Abaho tulole malawililo ga nzozi zake.”
BSB
BSB:
“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
ZAJP
Lubeni viyagahulike gano, kalonda kumkombola kulawa mmakono gao. Kalonga, “Sambitumkome.”
BSB
BSB:
When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
22
ZAJP
Lubeni kawalongela, “Sambitwite mulopa wake, ila tumwase mdikolongo dino dili hano mmuhulo, ila sambimmulumize.” Lubeni kalonga vino giladi yamwihule kulawa mmakono gao yam'bweze ha tataake.
BSB
BSB:
“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
ZAJP
Usufu viyavikile ha wakulu zake, wam'vula kanzu yake nhali ihambigwe iyavalile.
BSB
BSB:
So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—
24
ZAJP
Wamsola wamwasila mdikolongo dikalile bule kinhu, dikala bule mazi mgati yake.
BSB
BSB:
and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
25
ZAJP
Viwakalile hasi waje mandia, walola wona dale da Wasumaili wokwiza kulawa Gileadi, hamoja na ngamia zao wapapile ubane, zeli, na manemane, na wakala mnzila wovigala Misili.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Yuda kawalongela wandugu zake, “Kamba tuhamkoma mdodo wetu na kuufisa mulopa wake, topata choni?
BSB
BSB:
Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
27
ZAJP
Izoni tumguze ha Wasumaili na sambitumulumize kwavija ino mdodo wetu, lukuli lwetu, na mulopa wetu.” Na ndugu zake watogola.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Avo waja iwachuuzi kulawa Midiani viwakwenhuke, wakulu zake wamulava Usufu hanze ya idikolongo na kumguza ha Wasumaili kwa vidanga malongo mabili va feza, na wamsola na kumgala Misili.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Lubeni viyabwelile kudikolongo na kona kamba Usufu kahaduhu muja mdikolongo, kadega vivalo vake mkona giogio.
BSB
BSB:
When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes,
30
ZAJP
Kabwela ha wandugu zake na kuwalongela, “Immhale kahaduhu muja mdikolongo, nitendeze?”
BSB
BSB:
returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
31
ZAJP
Avo wasola kanzu ya Usufu, wamchinja menhe, waivubika ija ikanzu mmulopa.
BSB
BSB:
Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.
32
ZAJP
Waisola ija ikanzu ihambigwe waigala ha tataao na kulonga, “Tuidondola kanzu ino. Ilole goya, siku yowa kanzu ya mwanago.”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Tataao kaitanga na kulonga, “Ino iyo kanzu ya mwanangu, mng'onyo mkali kamja. Mwanangu Usufu kadegigwa vidangavidanga.”
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Abaho Yakobo kadega vivalo vake mkona giogio, kavala migunia, na kumulilila mwanage mmazua bwando.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35
ZAJP
Wanage wose wakimbigalo na wakitwanzi weza kumuhembekeza, ila kalema kuhembekezwa. Kalonga, “Nomulilila mwanangu mbaka vondaningile kuzimu.” Avo tataake kagendelela kumulilila.
BSB
BSB:
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
ZAJP
Kipigiti kikija, viwavikile Misili, waja Iwamidiani wamguza Usufu ha Potifa, ayo yakalile imwe wa wakulu wa silikali, ayo vivija yakalile kilangizi wa wemilizi wa ng'anda ya Falao, mndewa wa Misili.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
