¹Aga Jaakob elas maal, kus ta isa oli võõrana elanud, Kaananimaal.

¹Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.

²Need on Jaakobi suguvõsa lood: Kui Joosep oli seitsmeteistkümneaastane, siis oli ta koos oma vendadega lammaste ja kitsede karjane; tema oli abilisena oma isa naiste Billa ja Silpa poegade juures. Ja Joosep kandis isale ette nende halva kuulsuse.

²This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

³Iisrael armastas Joosepit enam kui kõiki oma poegi, sest ta oli tema vana ea poeg, ja ta tegi temale kirju kuue.

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.

⁴Kui ta vennad nägid, et nende isa armastas teda enam kui kõiki tema vendi, siis nad vihkasid teda ega suutnud rääkida temaga sõbralikult.

⁴His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

⁵Kord nägi Joosep unenäo ja jutustas selle oma vendadele; seejärel hakkasid need teda veel enam vihkama.

⁵Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

⁶Ta nimelt ütles neile: 'Kuulge ometi seda unenägu, mis ma unes nägin!

⁶He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

⁷Jah, vaadake, me olime väljal vihke sidumas, ja ennäe, minu vihk tõusis üles ning jäigi püsti seisma. Aga vaata, teie vihud ümbritsesid seda ja kummardasid minu vihu ees.'

⁷for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”

⁸Siis ta vennad ütlesid temale: 'Kas sina tahad saada meile kuningaks ja hakata meie üle valitsema?' Ja nad vihkasid teda veelgi enam tema unenägude ja kõnede pärast.

⁸His brothers said to him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.

⁹Ja ta nägi veel teise unenäo, jutustas selle oma vendadele ja ütles: 'Vaata, ma nägin veel ühe unenäo, ja ennäe, päike, kuu ja üksteist tähte kummardasid minu ees.'

⁹He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”

¹⁰Aga kui ta seda jutustas oma isale ja vendadele, siis ta isa sõitles teda ning ütles temale: 'Mis unenägu see küll on, mis sa nägid! Kas mina ja su ema ja vennad tõesti peame tulema ja sinu ees maani kummardama?'

¹⁰He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?”

¹¹Ta vennad said temale kadedaks, aga ta isa pidas meeles selle loo.

¹¹His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

¹²Kord olid ta vennad läinud Sekemisse oma isa karja hoidma.

¹²His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.

¹³Ja Iisrael ütles Joosepile: 'Eks ole su vennad Sekemis karja hoidmas? Tule, ma läkitan sind nende juurde!' Ja tema vastas: 'Siin ma olen!'

¹³Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”

¹⁴Siis ta ütles temale: 'Mine ometi vaatama, kas su vendade käsi käib hästi ja kas kari on korras, ja too mulle sõna!' Ta läkitas teda Hebroni orust ja ta tuli Sekemisse.

¹⁴He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

¹⁵Ja üks mees kohtas teda, kui ta oli väljal ümber ekslemas. Ja mees küsis temalt, öeldes: 'Mida sa otsid?'

¹⁵A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”

¹⁶Ja tema vastas: 'Ma otsin oma vendi. Ütle mulle ometi, kus nad karja hoiavad?'

¹⁶He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”

¹⁷Ja mees ütles: 'Nad on siit edasi läinud, sest ma kuulsin neid ütlevat: Läki Dotanisse!' Ja Joosep läks järele oma vendadele ning leidis nad Dotanis.

¹⁷The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

¹⁸Aga nad nägid teda kaugelt ja enne kui ta jõudis nende juurde, võtsid nad õelalt nõuks ta tappa.

¹⁸They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

¹⁹Nad ütlesid üksteisele: 'Näe, sealt tuleb see unenägude sepitseja!

¹⁹They said one to another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.

²⁰Tulgem nüüd, tapkem ta ära, visakem ta mõnda kaevu ja öelgem, et kuri loom sõi tema ära! Siis saame näha, mis ta unenäod tähendavad!'

²⁰Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”

²¹Kui Ruuben seda kuulis, siis ta tahtis teda nende käest päästa ja ütles: 'Ärgem võtkem temalt hinge!'

²¹Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”

²²Ja Ruuben ütles neile: 'Ärge valage verd, visake ta siia kõrbes olevasse kaevu, aga ärge pange oma kätt tema külge!' Sest ta tahtis tema päästa nende käest ja saata tagasi isa juurde.

²²Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.

²³Ja kui Joosep tuli oma vendade juurde, siis kiskusid need Joosepil kuue seljast, kirju kuue, mis tal seljas oli,

²³It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;

²⁴ning võtsid ja viskasid ta kaevu; aga kaev oli tühi, selles ei olnud vett.

²⁴and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

²⁵Seejärel nad istusid leiba võtma. Ja kui nad oma silmad üles tõstsid ja vaatasid, ennäe, siis tuli ismaeliitide karavan Gileadist. Nende kaamelid kandsid mitmesugust vaiku, palsamit ja lõhnaainest, ja nad olid sellega teel alla Egiptusesse.

²⁵They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

²⁶Ja Juuda ütles oma vendadele: 'Mis kasu sellest on, kui me tapame oma venna ja katame kinni tema vere?

²⁶Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

²⁷Tulge, müüme tema ismaeliitidele, aga meie käed ärgu puudutagu teda, sest ta on meie lihane vend!' Ja ta vennad kuulasid teda.

²⁷Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.

²⁸Kui siis Midjani mehed, kaupmehed, mööda läksid, tõmbasid nad Joosepi kaevust välja ja müüsid Joosepi kahekümne hõbetüki eest ismaeliitidele; ja need viisid Joosepi Egiptusesse.

²⁸Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.

²⁹Kui Ruuben tuli tagasi kaevu juurde, vaata, siis ei olnud Joosepit enam kaevus. Siis ta käristas oma riided lõhki

²⁹Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

³⁰ja läks tagasi oma vendade juurde ning ütles: 'Poissi ei ole enam! Ja mina, kuhu ma nüüd lähen?'

³⁰He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”

³¹Siis nad võtsid Joosepi kuue ja tapsid ühe siku ning kastsid kuue verre.

³¹They took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

³²Ja nad saatsid kirju kuue, tulid oma isa juurde ning ütlesid: 'Selle me leidsime! Tunnista nüüd, kas see on su poja kuub või mitte?'

³²They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son’s coat or not.”

³³Ja ta tundis selle ära ning ütles: 'See on mu poja kuub! Kuri loom on ta ära söönud, Joosep on tõesti maha murtud!'

³³He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”

³⁴Ja Jaakob käristas oma riided lõhki, kinnitas kotiriide niuete ümber ja leinas oma poega kaua aega.

³⁴Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

³⁵Kõik ta pojad ja tütred püüdsid teda trööstida, kuid ta ei lasknud ennast trööstida, vaid ütles: 'Ma lähen tõesti leinates oma poja juurde hauda!' Ja tema isa nuttis teda taga.

³⁵All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. to my son mourning.” His father wept for him.

³⁶Aga midjanlased müüsid tema Egiptuses Pootifarile, vaarao hoovkondlasele, ta ihukaitse pealikule.

³⁶The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
