¹Yacquubna wuxuu degay dhulkii aabbihiis qariibka ku ahaan jiray, oo ahaa dalkii Kancaan.

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

²Kuwanuna waa farcankii Yacquub. Yuusuf, isagoo jira toddoba iyo toban sannadood, ayuu idaha la daajinayay walaalihiis, wuxuuna ahaa wiil la jooga wiilashii Bilhah iyo Silfah oo ahaa naagihii aabbihiis. Markaasuu Yuusuf xaggooda war xun uga keenay aabbahood.

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.

³Israa'iilna Yuusuf wuu ka jeclaa carruurtiisa oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa inankuu dhalay markuu gaboobay; oo wuxuuna u sameeyey shulug midabyo badan leh.

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.

⁴Markaasaa walaalihiis arkeen in aabbahood ka jecel yahay isaga walaalihiis oo dhan; kolkaasay nebcaadeen isagii, wayna kari waayeen inay isaga si nabad ah ula hadlaan.

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

⁵Yuusufna wuu riyooday, markaasuu riyadiisii u sheegay walaalihiis, iyana aad bay u sii nebcaadeen.

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

⁶Oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, bal maqla riyadan aan ku riyooday.

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

⁷Bal eega, waxaynu beerta ku xidhxidhaynay xidhmooyin, markaasaa xidhmadaydii kacday, oo istaagtay, xidhmooyinkiinniina hareeraheeday yimaadeen oo u sujuudeen xidhmadaydii.

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.”

⁸Markaasaa walaalihiis ku yidhaahdeen, Ma annagaad na xukumi doontaa? Amase noo talin doontaa? Markaasay aad iyo aad ugu sii nebcaadeen riyooyinkiisii iyo hadalladiisii aawadood.

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.

⁹Markaasuu haddana riyo kale ku riyooday, oo walaalihiis u sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, riyo kalaan ku riyoodaye. Waxaan ku riyooday qorraxdii iyo dayaxii, iyo koob iyo toban xiddigood oo ii sujuuday.

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.”

¹⁰Markaasuu aabbihiis u sheegay, iyo walaalihiisba, aabbihiisna waa canaantay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay riyadan aad ku riyootay? Ma aniga iyo hooyadaa iyo walaalahaa baa kuu iman doonna, oo intaan wejiga dhulka saarno kuu sujuudi doonna?

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?”

¹¹Markaasay walaalihiis ka masayreen isagii; laakiinse aabbihiis maankuu ku haystay hadalkii.

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

¹²Markaasaa walaalihiis tageen, inay adhigii aabbahood soo daajiyaan Shekem.

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

¹³Israa'iilna wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Miyaanay walaalahaa adhigii daajinayn Shekem? Bal kaalay, xaggoodaan kuu dirayaaye. Markaasuu isna ku yidhi, Waa i kan.

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.”

¹⁴Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Bal tag oo soo arag in walaalahaa iyo adhigiiba nabad qabaan iyo in kale, oo haddana ii war keen. Sidaas daraaddeed isagii wuxuu ka diray dooxadii Xebroon, oo wuxuu tegey Shekem.

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.

¹⁵Markaasaa nin helay isagoo duurka wareegaya; ninkiina wax buu weyddiiyey oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad doondoonaysaa?

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

¹⁶Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan doondoonayaa walaalahay. Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg meesha ay adhigii daajinayaan.

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

¹⁷Markaasaa ninkii ku yidhi, Halkan way ka tageen, waayo, waxaan maqlay iyagoo isku leh, Ina keena aynu Dotaan tagnee. Markaasuu Yuusuf walaalihiis ka daba tegey, oo wuxuu iyagii ka helay Dotaan.

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.

¹⁸Markaasay meel fog ka arkeen isagii, oo intuusan u soo dhowaan iyagii, ayay ku tashadeen inay dilaan.

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

¹⁹Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Bal eega, kii riyada badnaa waa soo socdaaye.

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

²⁰Haddaba kaalaya aynu dilnee, oo aynu ku tuurno ceelasha midkood, oo waxaynu odhan doonnaa, Bahal xun baa cunay. Dabadeedna waxaynu arki doonnaa bal waxay riyooyinkiisii noqdaan.

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.”

²¹Oo Ruubeen baa taas maqlay, isagiina wuu ka samatabbixiyey gacantoodii; oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yeynan naftiisa ka qaadin.

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

²²Kolkaasaa Ruubeen ku yidhi iyagii, Dhiig ha daadinina, ee isaga ku tuura ceelkan cidlada ku yaal, laakiinse far ha saarina. Oo wuxuu taas u yeelay inuu isaga ka samatabbixiyo gacantooda oo uu u celiyo aabbihiis.

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.

²³Oo waxay noqotay in markii Yuusuf walaalihiis u yimid ay Yusuuf ka furteen shuluggiisii, kaasu wuxuu ahaa shuluggii midabyada badnaa oo uu qabay.

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

²⁴Kolkaasay qabteen oo ay ceelkii ku tuureen; ceelkuna waa madhnaa oo biyo kuma jirin.

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

²⁵Kolkaasay u fadhiisteen inay wax cunaan; dabadeedna indhahay kor u taageen oo wax bay fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen safar reer Ismaaciil ah oo ka soo socda xagga Gilecaad, oo awrtooda ay ugu raran yihiin xawaash, iyo beeyo, iyo malmal, waxayna u socdeen xagga Masar.

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.

²⁶Markaasuu Yahuudah ku yidhi walaalihiis, Maxaa faa'iido inoogu jirta, haddaynu walaalkeen dilno oo aynu dhiiggiisa qarinno?

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

²⁷Kaalaya, aynu reer Ismaaciil ka iibinnee, oo yeynan isaga far saarin, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa walaalkeen, waana jidhkeenna. Walaalihiisna way maqleen isagii.

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.

²⁸Oo waxaa ag maray niman reer Midyaan ah, oo baayacmushtariyaal ah. Markaasay Yuusuf soo jiideen oo ceelkii ka soo bixiyeen, oo waxay Yuusuf kuwii reer Ismaaciil kaga iibiyeen labaatan xabbadood oo lacag ah. Oo iyana Yuusuf waxay keeneen Masar.

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.

²⁹Markaasaa Ruubeen ku noqday ceelkii; wuxuuna arkay inuusan Yuusuf ku jirin ceelka, kolkaasuu dharkiisii dildillaaciyey.

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

³⁰Markaasuu walaalihiis ku noqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yarkii ma joogo, haddaba anigu xaggee baan tagaa?

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

³¹Kolkaasay shuluggii Yuusuf qaadeen oo intay orgi gowraceen ayay shuluggii dhiiggii geliyeen.

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

³²Markaasay shuluggii midabyada badnaa direen, oo ay aabbahood u keeneen; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Kan waannu helnay, haddaba bal garo inuu shuluggii wiilkaagii yahay iyo in kale.

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.”

³³Wuuna gartay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waa shuluggii wiilkayga. Bahal xun baa cunay isagii. Shakila'aan Yuusuf cadcad baa loo kala jeexjeexay.

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

³⁴Markaasaa Yacquub dharkiisii dildillaaciyey, oo joonyad buu dhexda ku xidhay, wiilkiisiina maalmo badan ayuu u barooranayay.

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

³⁵Kolkaasaa wiilashiisii oo dhan iyo gabdhihiisii oo dhammu u kaceen inay isaga qalbi qaboojiyaan, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu qalbi qaboobo, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigoo barooranaya ayaan qabriga geli doonaa oo wiilkaygii u tegi doonaa. Aabbihiisna wuu u ooyay isagii.Markaasay kuwii reer Midyaan isagii Masar kaga iibiyeen nin la odhan jiray Footiifar, wuxuuna ahaa sirkaalkii Fircoon oo ahaa madaxa waardiyayaasha.

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.

³⁶Markaasay kuwii reer Midyaan isagii Masar kaga iibiyeen nin la odhan jiray Footiifar, wuxuuna ahaa sirkaalkii Fircoon oo ahaa madaxa waardiyayaasha.

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