Genesis 37 - Listen Online

¹ JAKOBU si joko ni ilẹ ti baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe atipo, ani ilẹ Kenaani.

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

² Wọnyi ni iran Jakobu. Nigbati Josefu di ẹni ọdún mẹtadilogun, o nṣọ́ agbo-ẹran pẹlu awọn arakunrin rẹ̀; ọmọde na si wà pẹlu awọn ọmọ Bilha, ati pẹlu awọn ọmọ Silpa, awọn aya baba rẹ̀; Josefu si mú ihin buburu wọn wá irò fun baba wọn.

² These 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.

³ Israeli si fẹ́ Josefu jù gbogbo awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ, nitori ti iṣe ọmọ ogbó rẹ̀; o si dá ẹ̀wu alarabara aṣọ fun u.

³ Now 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 colours.

⁴ Nigbati awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ ri pe baba wọn fẹ́ ẹ jù gbogbo awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ lọ, nwọn korira rẹ̀, nwọn kò si le sọ̀rọ si i li alafia.

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

⁵ Josefu si lá alá kan, o si rọ́ ọ fun awọn arakunrin rẹ̀; nwọn si tun korira rẹ̀ si i.

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

⁶ O si wi fun wọn pe, Mo bẹ̀ nyin, ẹ gbọ́ alá yi ti mo lá.

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

⁷ Sa wò o, awa nyí ití li oko, si wò o, ití mi dide, o si duro ṣanṣan; si wò o, ití ti nyin dide duro yiká, nwọn si ntẹriba fun ití mi.

⁷ For, 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.

⁸ Awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ si wi fun u pe, Iwọ o ha jọba lori wa bi? tabi iwọ o ṣe olori wa nitõtọ? nwọn si tun korira rẹ̀ si i nitori alá rẹ̀ ati nitori ọ̀rọ rẹ̀.

⁸ And 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.

⁹ O si tun lá alá miran, o si rọ́ ọ fun awọn arakunrin rẹ̀, o wipe, Sa wò o, mo tun lá alá kan si i; si wò o, õrùn, ati oṣupa, ati irawọ mọkanla nforibalẹ fun mi.

⁹ And 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.

¹⁰ O si rọ́ ọ fun baba rẹ̀, ati fun awọn arakunrin rẹ̀: baba rẹ̀ si bá a wi, o si wi fun u pe, Alá kili eyi ti iwọ lá yi? emi ati iya rẹ, ati awọn arakunrin rẹ yio ha wá nitõtọ, lati foribalẹ fun ọ bi?

¹⁰ And 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?

¹¹ Awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ si ṣe ilara rẹ̀; ṣugbọn baba rẹ̀ pa ọ̀rọ na mọ́.

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

¹² Awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ si lọ lati bọ́ agbo-ẹran baba wọn ni Ṣekemu.

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

¹³ Israeli si wi fun Josefu pe, Ni Ṣekemu ki awọn arakunrin rẹ gbé mbọ́ ẹran? wá, emi o si rán ọ si wọn. On si wi fun u pe, Emi niyi.

¹³ And 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.

¹⁴ O si wi fun u pe, Mo bẹ̀ ọ, lọ wò alafia awọn arakunrin rẹ, ati alafia awọn agbo-ẹran; ki o si mú ihin pada fun mi wá. Bẹ̃li o si rán a lati afonifoji Hebroni lọ, on si dé Ṣekemu.

¹⁴ And 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.

¹⁵ Ọkunrin kan si ri i, si wò o, o nrìn kakiri ni pápa: ọkunrin na si bi i pe, Kini iwọ nwá?

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

¹⁶ On si wipe, Emi nwá awọn arakunrin mi: mo bẹ̀ ọ, sọ ibi ti nwọn gbé mbọ́ agbo-ẹran wọn fun mi.

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

¹⁷ Ọkunrin na si wipe, Nwọn ti lọ kuro nihin; nitori mo gbọ́, nwọn nwipe, ẹ jẹ ki a lọ si Dotani. Josefu si lepa awọn arakunrin rẹ̀, o si ri wọn ni Dotani.

¹⁷ And 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.

¹⁸ Nigbati nwọn si ri i lokere; ki o tilẹ to sunmọ eti ọdọ wọn, nwọn di rikiṣi si i lati pa a.

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

¹⁹ Nwọn si wi fun ara wọn pe, Wò o, alála nì mbọ̀wá.

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

²⁰ Nisisiyi ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ ki a pa a, ki a si wọ́ ọ sọ sinu ọkan ninu ihò wọnyi, awa o si wipe ẹranko buburu li o pa a jẹ: awa o si ma wò bi alá rẹ̀ yio ti ri.

²⁰ Come 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.

²¹ Reubeni si gbọ́, o si gbà a li ọwọ́ won; o si wipe, Ẹ máṣe jẹ ki a gbà ẹmi rẹ̀.

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

²² Reubeni si wi fun wọn pe, Ẹ máṣe ta ẹ̀jẹ, ṣugbọn ẹ sọ ọ sinu ihò yi ti mbẹ li aginjù, ki ẹ má si fọwọkàn a; nitori ki o ba le gbà a lọwọ wọn lati mú u pada tọ̀ baba rẹ̀ lọ.

²² And 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.

²³ O si ṣe nigbati Josefu dé ọdọ awọn arakunrin rẹ̀, nwọn bọ́ ẹ̀wu Josefu, ẹ̀wu alarabara aṣọ ti o wà lara rẹ̀;

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

²⁴ Nwọn si mú u, nwọn si gbe e sọ sinu ihò kan: ihò na si gbẹ, kò li omi.

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

²⁵ Nwọn si joko lati jẹun: nwọn si gbé oju wọn soke, nwọn si wò, si kiyesi i, ọwọ́-èro ara Iṣmaeli nti Gileadi bọ̀; ti awọn ti ibakasiẹ ti o rù turari ati ikunra ati ojia, nwọn nmú wọn lọ si Egipti.

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

²⁶ Judah si wi fun awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ pe, Ere ki li o jẹ́ bi awa ba pa arakunrin wa, ti a si bò ẹ̀jẹ rẹ̀?

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

²⁷ Ẹ wá ẹ jẹ ki a tà a fun awọn ara Iṣmaeli ki a má si fọwọ wa kàn a; nitori arakunrin wa ati ara wa ni iṣe. Awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ si gbà tirẹ̀.

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

²⁸ Nigbana li awọn oniṣòwo ara Midiani nkọja lọ; nwọn si fà a, nwọn si yọ Josefu jade ninu ihò, nwọn si tà Josefu li ogún owo fadaka: nwọn si mú Josefu lọ si Egipti.

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

²⁹ Reubeni si pada lọ si ihò; si wò o, Josefu kò sí ninu ihò na; o si fà aṣọ rẹ̀ ya.

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

³⁰ O si pada tọ̀ awọn arakunrin rẹ̀ lọ, o si wipe, Ọmọde na kò sí; ati emi, nibo li emi o gbé wọ̀?

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

³¹ Nwọn si mú ẹ̀wu Josefu, nwọn si pa ọmọ ewurẹ kan, nwọn si rì ẹ̀wu na sinu ẹ̀jẹ na.

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

³² Nwọn si fi ẹ̀wu alarabara aṣọ na ranṣẹ, nwọn si mú u tọ̀ baba wọn wá; nwọn si wipe, Eyi li awa ri: mọ̀ nisisiyi bi ẹ̀wu ọmọ rẹ ni, bi on kọ́.

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

³³ On si mọ̀ ọ, o si wipe, Ẹ̀wu ọmọ mi ni; ẹranko buburu ti pa a jẹ; li aiṣe aniani, a ti fà Josefu ya pẹrẹpẹrẹ.

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

³⁴ Jakobu si fà aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, o si fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ si ara rẹ̀, o si ṣọ̀fọ ọmọ rẹ̀ li ọjọ́ pupọ̀.

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

³⁵ Ati gbogbo awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkunrin, ati gbogbo awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ obinrin dide lati ṣìpẹ fun u; ṣugbọn o kọ̀ lati gbipẹ̀; o si wipe, Ninu ọ̀fọ li emi o sa sọkalẹ tọ̀ ọmọ mi lọ si isà-okú. Bayi ni baba rẹ̀ sọkun rẹ̀.

³⁵ And 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.

³⁶ Awọn ara Midiani si tà a si Egipti fun Potifari, ijoye Farao kan, ati olori ẹṣọ́.

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