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

Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.

2 K uwanuna 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.

These are the records of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, when seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers while he was still a youth, along with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.

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

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic.

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

His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.

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

Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

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

He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have had;

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

for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”

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

Then his brothers said to him, “ Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9 M arkaasuu 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.

Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, “Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

10 M arkaasuu 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?

He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?”

11 M arkaasay walaalihiis ka masayreen isagii; laakiinse aabbihiis maankuu ku haystay hadalkii. Yuusuf Walaalihiis Oo Iibiyey Isaga

His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

12 M arkaasaa walaalihiis tageen, inay adhigii aabbahood soo daajiyaan Shekem.

Then his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock in Shechem.

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

Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “ I will go.”

14 O o 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.

Then he said to him, “Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

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

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

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

He said, “I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock.”

17 M arkaasaa 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.

Then the man said, “They have moved from here; for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan. The Plot against Joseph

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

When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death.

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

They said to one another, “ Here comes this dreamer!

20 H addaba 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.

Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, ‘A wild beast devoured him.’ Then let us see what will become of his dreams!”

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

But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, “Let us not take his life.”

22 K olkaasaa 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.

Reuben further said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.

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

So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the varicolored tunic that was on him;

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

and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, without any water in it.

25 K olkaasay 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.

Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.

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

Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood?

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

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.

28 O o 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.

Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.

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

Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.

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

He returned to his brothers and said, “ The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?”

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

So they took Joseph’s tunic, and slaughtered a male goat and dipped the tunic in the blood;

32 M arkaasay 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.

and they sent the varicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son’s tunic or not.”

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

Then he examined it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”

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

So Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.

35 K olkaasaa 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.

Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, “Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him.

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

Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, Pharaoh’s officer, the captain of the bodyguard.
