¹And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

¹Laj Jacob quicuan aran Canaán saß li naßajej li quicuan cuiß lix yucuaß.

²These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

²Ut joßcaßin nak queßcuan chak li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob. Laj José cuan cuuklaju chihab re, ut aßan natenkßan reheb li ras chi iloc reheb li quetômk. Eb li ras li nequeßochbenin re laj José, aßan eb li ralal laj Jacob riqßuineb lix Bilha ut lix Zilpa. Nak laj José quiril nak incßaß us nequeßxbânu li ras, najitoc chiru lix yucuaß.

³Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.

³Laj Israel cßajoß naxra laj José chiruheb li jun chßol chic li ralal xban nak aßan li ralal li quicuan nak ac tîx chic. Laj Israel quixsi jun li rakß laj José xcomon li châbil ut chßinaßus xyîbanquil. Najt rok ut nim rukß.

⁴And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

⁴Eb li asbej queßril nak laj José, aßan li kßaxal raro xban li yucuaßbej. Joßcan nak xicß nequeßril laj José ut incßaß chic nequeßâtinac saß xyâlal riqßuin.

⁵And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

⁵Saß jun li kßojyîn laj José quimatqßuec. Ut quixserakßi reheb li ras li cßaßru quiril saß lix matcß. Nak queßrabi li cßaßru quixye laj José, kßaxal cuißchic xicß queßril.

⁶And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

⁶Aßan aßin li quixye laj José reheb li ras: —Bânuhomak usilal, abihomak ut tinye êre li cßaßru xinmatqßue.

⁷For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

⁷Lâin xcuil saß lin matcß nak yôco chixbacßbal chi jôb li trigo. Ut li jun jôb li cue quicuacli ut quixxakab rib aran. Eb li jûnk jôb êre queßxsut li cue ut queßxcßutzub rib chiru li cue nak quicuil, chan laj José.

⁸And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

⁸Eb li ras queßxye re: —¿Ma nacacßoxla nak lâat tat-oc chi taklânc saß kabên? Ut, ¿ma nacacßoxla nak lâo takaqßue kib rubel âtakl? chanqueb re. Ut kßaxal cuißchic xicß queßril laj José xban li cßaßru quixye ut xban li cßaßru quixmatqßue.

⁹And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

⁹Laj José quimatqßuec cuißchic ut quixserakßi reheb li ras. Quixye reheb: —Abihomak cuißchic lâex li cßaßru xcuil saß lin matcß. Lâin xcuil ru li sakße ut li po ut xcuil ajcuiß junlaju li chahim. Eb aßan queßxcuikßib rib chicuu nak xcuil, chan reheb li ras.

¹⁰And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

¹⁰Ut quixserakßi ajcuiß re lix yucuaß. Lix yucuaß quixchßila aßan ut quixye re: —¿Cßaßru xyâlal li nacamatqßue? ¿Ma aßan naraj naxye nak lâin ut lâ naß joß eb ajcuiß lâ cuas takacuikßib kib châcuu? chan re laj José.

¹¹And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

¹¹Eb li ras cßajoß nak nequeßxcakali riqßuin li cßaßak re ru aßin. Ut lix yucuaß qui-oc chi cßoxlac chirix li quixmatqßue.

¹²And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

¹²Saß jun li cutan eb li ras laj José queßcôeb Siquem chixberesinquileb lix quetômk lix yucuaßeb.

¹³And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

¹³Laj Israel quixye re laj José: —Eb lâ cuas yôqueb chak chixberesinquil lin quetômk aran Siquem. Lâin tincuaj nak tatxic chirilbaleb, chan. Ut laj José quixye: —Us. Lâin tinxic, chan.

¹⁴And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

¹⁴Ut laj Israel quixye re: —Ayu. Toxâcuileb chak chanru cuanqueb lâ cuas joß eb ajcuiß li quetômk. Chirix aßan tatsukßîk chak chixyebal cue chanru cuanqueb, chan laj Israel. Laj José qui-el saß li ru takßa re Hebrón ut cô toj saß li naßajej Siquem.

¹⁵And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

¹⁵Laj José yô chixbeninquil rib saß cßalebâl chixsicßbaleb li ras nak quixcßul jun li cuînk. Li cuînk quixpatzß re: —¿Cßaßru yôcat arin? chan.

¹⁶And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

¹⁶Laj José quixye re: —Lâin yôquin chixsicßbaleb li cuas li yôqueb chixberesinquil lix quetômk lin yucuaß. Chacuy inmâc tinpatzß âcue, ¿ma incßaß xacuileb ru li cuas arin? Bânu usilal, ye cue bar cuanqueb, chan re.

¹⁷And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

¹⁷Li cuînk quixye re: —Eb lâ cuas ac xeßcôeb. Lâin xcuabi nak yôqueb xyebal nak teßxic saß li naßajej Dotán, chan li cuînk. Ut laj José yal jun nak cô Dotán ut aran coxtauheb li ras.

¹⁸And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

¹⁸Yô chak chi châlc chi najt laj José nak qui-ileß xbaneb li ras. Ut eb aßan queßoc chixcßoxlanquil chanru nak teßxcamsi aßan.

¹⁹And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

¹⁹Queßxye chi ribileb rib: —Cueß chak li namatqßuec.

²⁰Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

²⁰Châlk cuan. Hôn nakacamsi. Ut takacut saß junak jul. Ut takaye nak mâre junak joskß aj xul xcamsin re. Ut takil cßaßru tâcanâk cuiß lix matcß, chanqueb chi ribileb rib.

²¹And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

²¹Nak laj Rubén quirabi aßin, quiraj raj xcolbal laj José saß rukßeb. Ut quixye reheb: —Incßaß naru takacamsi li kîtzßin, chan.

²²And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

²²Incßaß takisi xquiqßuel. Mêbânu raylal re. Cutumak saß li jul li cuan arin saß li chaki chßochß, chan laj Rubén. Aßan cuan saß xchßôl nak naru tixcol mokon ut tixcßam cuißchic riqßuin lix yucuaß.

²³And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;

²³Nak laj José quicuulac riqßuineb li ras, ticto queßrisi lix châbil akß li cuan chirix.

²⁴And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

²⁴Queßxchap laj José ut queßxcut chi saß li chaki jul.

²⁵And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

²⁵Chirix chic aßan, queßchunla ut queßoc chi cuaßac. Nak yôqueb chi cuaßac queßril nak yôqueb chi châlc jun chßût eb li cuînk aj ismaelita. Yôqueb chak chi châlc Galaad. Ut chirixeb lix camello yôqueb chak chixcßambal oxib pây ru li sununquil ban re teßxcßayi aran Egipto. Aßin lix cßabaßeb li oxib pây ru chi sununquil ban; aromas, bálsamo ut mirra.

²⁶And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

²⁶Laj Judá quixye reheb li ras ut li rîtzßin: —¿Cßaßru aj e nak takacamsi li kîtzßin saß mukmu?

²⁷Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

²⁷Kacßayihak reheb laj ismaelita. Kßaxal us nak tîc takacßayi ut incßaß takacamsi xban nak aßan kîtzßin ut kaquiqßuel kib chi kibil kib, chan laj Judá. Ut eb li ras ut eb li rîtzßin queßxcßul xchßôl li quixye.

²⁸Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

²⁸Nak yôqueb chi numecß saß li naßajej aßan eb laj madianita rochbeneb laj ismaelita, eb li ras laj José queßrisi saß li jul ut queßxcßayi reheb laj ismaelita. Junmay ajcuiß chi tumin plata queßxcßayi cuiß laj José. Ut chirix aßan, queßxcßam toj Egipto.

²⁹And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

²⁹Nak quisukßi laj Rubén chirilbal saß li jul, quiril nak mâ ani chic laj José. Cßajoß nak qui-oc xcßaßux ut quixkßichi li rakß xban xrahil xchßôl.

³⁰And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

³⁰Laj Rubén cô riqßuineb li rîtzßin ut quixye reheb: —Anakcuan mâ ani chic li kîtzßin saß li jul. ¿Cßaßru târûk tinbânu anakcuan? chan.

³¹And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

³¹Ut eb li asbej queßxcamsi jun li chßina chibât ut saß lix quiqßuel li chibât li queßxcamsi queßxchßulaqui lix châbil akß laj José.

³²And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

³²Ut li rakß laj José li chßulaquinbil saß li quicß, queßxcßam riqßuin lix yucuaß. Ut queßxye re: —Il li xkatau chak, at kayucuaß. Joß li aßin anchal lix châbil akß lâ cualal, chanqueb re.

³³And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

³³Laj Jacob ticto quixnau ru li rakß aßan, ut quixye reheb: —Ay, aßin tzßakal rakß li cualal nacuil. Mâre junak joskß aj xul xtißoc re ut x-osoß chi junaj cua, chan laj Jacob.

³⁴And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

³⁴Laj Jacob quixkßichi li rakß li cuan chirix xban xrahil saß xchßôl chirix lix camic li ralal. Ut quixqßue li kßesnal ru tßicr chirix chanchan coxtal retalil nak ra saß xchßôl. Najt quicuan li rakß aßan chirix ut incßaß quinumeß xrahil saß xchßôl.

³⁵And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

³⁵Ut chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol queßoc chixcßojobanquil xchßôl lix yucuaßeb. Abanan laj Jacob incßaß quixcßojob xchßôl ut quixye: —Lâin incßaß tâcßojlâk inchßôl chalen nak tincâmk ut tintau li cualal li ac camenak, chan. Ut li yucuaßbej junelic nayâbac chirix laj José.Nak queßcuulac aran Egipto eb laj madianita rochbeneb laj ismaelita queßxcßayi cuißchic laj José re jun li cuînk aj Potifar xcßabaß. Laj Potifar aßan li natenkßan re laj faraón chixtaklanquileb li soldado. Ut laj faraón, aßan li acuabej re li nimla tenamit Egipto.

³⁶And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

³⁶Nak queßcuulac aran Egipto eb laj madianita rochbeneb laj ismaelita queßxcßayi cuißchic laj José re jun li cuînk aj Potifar xcßabaß. Laj Potifar aßan li natenkßan re laj faraón chixtaklanquileb li soldado. Ut laj faraón, aßan li acuabej re li nimla tenamit Egipto.
