1And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
1 Yakuba goro nga baabo yawtaray laabo ra kaŋ ga ti Kanaana.
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.
2 Yakuba bandey neeya: Waato kaŋ Yusufu to jiiri way cindi iyye, a ga kurey kuru nga nya-izey banda. Bila da Zilpa, kaŋ ti a baabo wandey, i izey banda no arwaso go. Yusufu mo g'i kalima ngey baabo do.
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.
3 Woodin banda, Israyla* ga ba Yusufu ka bisa a beerey kulu, zama a zeenay boŋ ize no. A na jabba taalamante fo te a se mo.
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.
4 A beerey mo faham ka bay kaŋ ngey baabo ga ba r'a. I konn'a mo, hal i si hin ka baani sanni te a se.
5And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
5 Kala Yusufu na hindiri fo te, a n'a ci mo nga beerey se, hal i konn'a ka tonton.
6And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
6 A ne i se: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa maa ay hindiro wo kaŋ ay te.
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.
7 Zama a go, iri goono ga bokoyaŋ haw fari ra. Kal ay bokwa go, a tun ka kay. Araŋ bokoy mo go, i kaa k'a windi. I sombu ay bokwa se.»
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.
8 A beerey ne a se: «Haba? Nin wo, daahir ni ga iri may, wala mo daahir ni ga du hin iri boŋ?» I ye ka konn'a ka tonton a hindiro sabbay se, d'a sanney mo sabbay se.
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.
9 A ye ka hindiri fo te koyne, a n'a ci nga beerey se. A ne: «A go, ay ye ka hindiri fo te. Wayna da hando da handariya way cindi fo go, i somb'ay se.»
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?
10 A na woodin ci nga baabo se, da nga beerey mo se. Kala baabo deen'a gaa ka ne a se: «Ifo no ni hindiro wo kaŋ ni te? Haba? Wiiza, in da ni nya da ni beerey, iri ga kaa ka sombu ni jine hala ganda, wala?»
11And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
11 A beerey binde canse a gaa, amma baabo na sanno wo gaay nga bina ra.
12And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
12 A beerey binde koy zama ngey ma ngey baabo kurey kuru Sekem haray.
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.
13 Israyla mo ne Yusufu se: «Manti Sekem haray no ni beerey goono ga kurey kuru bo? Kaa, ay ga ni donton i do.» Yusufu ne a se: «Ay neeya.»
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.
14 Baabo ne a se: «Ma koy ka ni beerey da kurey mo guna, hal i go baani. Ma ye ka kand'ay se baaru.» A binde n'a donton Hebron gooro ra. A koy Sekem.
15And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
15 Kala boro fo n'a gar, a te boŋdaray saajo ra. Bora binde n'a hã ka ne: «Ifo no ni goono ga ceeci?»
16And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
16 A ne: «Ay beerey no ay goono ga ceeci. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ci ay se naŋ kaŋ i gana ka koy ka ngey kurey kuru.»
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.
17 Bora ne a se: «I jin ka tun neewo, zama ay maa i ga ne: ‹Iri ma koy Dotan.› » Kala Yusufu na nga beerey ce gana. A n'i gar Dotan.
18And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
18 I binde n'a fonnay nangu mooro, za a mana maan i do jina. I na me haw a boŋ, mate kaŋ ngey ga te k'a wi.
19And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
19 I ne ngey da cara se: «Guna hindirikoyo no go kaa, ya!
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.
20 Iri binde ma koy k'a wi ka jindaw guusey wo afo ra. Iri ma ne ganji ham laalo fo no k'a ŋwa. Waato din gaa iri ma di haŋ kaŋ no a hindiro ga ciya.»
21And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
21 Amma Ruben maa, a n'a faaba mo i kambe ra ka ne: «Iri ma s'a wi.»
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.
22 Ruben ne i se: «Iri ma si kuri mun, amma iri m'a jindaw guuso wo ra kaŋ go saajo wo ra. Wa si kambe dake a gaa.» A goono ga miila nga m'a faaba i kambe ra, k'a ye baabo do.
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;
23 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Yusufu kaa nga beerey do, i na Yusufu jabba kaa a gaa, jabba taalamanta din kaŋ a daŋ.
24And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
24 I n'a di ka jindaw guuso ra. Guuso mo ikogo no, hari si a ra.
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.
25 I goro zama ngey ma ŋwa. I na ngey boŋ sambu ka guna. Kal i di Isumeylancey jama fo go ga fun Jileyad haray ngey yoy banda. I gonda yaaziyaŋ yoy boŋ ga jeje, da zawul* dugu nda deeli. I go diraw ra zama ngey ma kond'ey Misira.
26And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
26 Kala Yahuda ne nga nya-izey se: «Iri m'iri kayne wi k'a kuro tugu wo, mana gaa a nafa?
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.
27 Wa kaa, iri m'a neera Isumeylancey se. Iri ma si kambe dake a gaa, zama iri kayne no, iri basi mo no.» A nya-izey mo n'a sanno gana.
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.
28 Kala waato kaŋ Midiyancey fatawc'ize fooyaŋ kaa ka bisa, i na Yusufu candi ka kaa guuso ra, k'a neera Isumeylancey se, nzarfu gude waranka. Ngey mo konda Yusufu Misira.
29And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
29 Amma Ruben ye guuso do. A go mo, Yusufu si guuso ra. Kala Ruben na nga bankaarayey tooru-tooru.
30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
30 A ye nga kayney do ka ne: «Arwaso si noodin! Man no ay ga gana?»
31And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
31 I na Yusufu jabba sambu. I na jindi fo wi ka jabba sufu kuro ra.
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.
32 I na jabba taalamanta din no i ma kond'a ngey baabo do. I ne: «Iri na woone gar. Ni ma guna ka di sohõ hala ni izo jabba no, wala manti nga no.»
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.
33 A n'a bay. A ne: «Ay izo jabba no, ganji ham laalo fo n'a ŋwa. Sikka si i na Yusufu tooru-tooru.»
34And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
34 Kala Yakuba na nga bankaarayey tooru-tooru, a na bufu zaara haw nga canta gaa. A na nga izo baray jirbi boobo.
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.
35 A izey kulu, alborey da wayborey tun ka kaa zama ngey m'a yaamar, amma a wangu ka suuru. A ne: «Ay ga soobay ka hẽ kal ay ma koy Alaahara, ay izo do.» Yaadin no baabo soobay ka hẽ d'a a sabbay se.
36And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
36 Midiyancey mo na Yusufu neera Misira laabo ra, Potifar se, Firawna mantaw fo no kaŋ doogarey koy no.
