Genesis 37:1-36

Si Jose at ang Kanyang mga Kapatid

1Nagpaiwan si Jacob para manirahan sa Canaan, ang lupaing tinitirhan din dati ng kanyang ama.

2Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Jacob:

Nang 17 taong gulang si Jose, nagbabantay siya ng mga hayop kasama ng kanyang mga kapatid na mga anak ni Bilha at ni Zilpa, na mga asawa ng kanyang ama. Ipinagtapat ni Jose sa kanyang ama ang masasamang ginagawa ng kanyang mga kapatid.

3Mas mahal ni Jacob37:3 Jacob: sa tekstong Hebreo, Israel. Ganito rin sa 37:13-14. si Jose kaysa sa iba niyang mga anak, dahil matanda na siya nang isilang si Jose. Kaya itinahi niya si Jose ng maganda at mahabang damit. 4Pero nang napansin ng mga kapatid ni Jose na mas mahal siya ng kanilang ama kaysa sa kanila, nagalit sila kay Jose at sinabihan ito ng masasakit na salita.

5Isang gabi, nanaginip si Jose. Nang isalaysay niya ito sa mga kapatid niya, lalo silang nagalit sa kanya. 6Sapagkat ito ang isinalaysay niya, “Nanaginip ako 7na habang naroon tayo sa bukid na nagbibigkis ng mga uhay, bigla na lang tumayo ang ibinigkis ko at pinaikutan ito ng inyong mga ibinigkis na uhay na nakayuko.”

8Sinabi ng kanyang mga kapatid, “Ano? Magiging hari ka at mangunguna sa amin?” Kaya lalo pa silang nagalit kay Jose.

9Muling nanaginip si Jose at isinalaysay na naman niya sa kanyang mga kapatid. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip ako ulit na nakita ko ang araw, ang buwan at ang 11 bituin na yumuyuko sa akin.”

10Isinalaysay din ni Jose ang panaginip niya sa kanyang ama pero nagalit din ang kanyang ama sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Ano ang ibig mong sabihin? Na kami ng iyong ina at ng mga kapatid mo ay yuyuko sa iyo?” 11Nainggit ang mga kapatid ni Jose sa kanya, pero si Jacob ay sinarili na lamang ang bagay na ito.

Ipinagbili si Jose ng Kanyang mga Kapatid

12Isang araw, pumunta ang mga kapatid ni Jose sa Shekem para magbantay ng mga hayop ng kanilang ama. 13-14Sinabi ni Jacob37:13-14 Jacob: Tingnan ang “footnote” sa talatang 3. kay Jose, “Ang mga kapatid mo ay naroon sa Shekem na nagpapastol ng mga hayop. Pumunta ka roon at tingnan mo kung maayos ang kalagayan ng mga kapatid mo at ng mga hayop. Bumalik ka agad at sabihin sa akin.” Sumagot si Jose, “Opo ama.”

Kaya mula sa Lambak ng Hebron, pumunta si Jose sa Shekem. 15Nang naroon na siyang pagala-gala sa bukid, may lalaking nagtanong sa kanya kung ano ang hinahanap niya.

16Sumagot siya, “Hinahanap ko po ang mga kapatid ko. Alam nʼyo po ba kung saan sila nagpapastol?”

17Sinabi ng lalaki, “Wala na sila rito. Narinig kong pupunta raw sila sa Dotan.” Kaya sinundan sila roon ni Jose at nakita niya sila sa Dotan.

18Malayo pa si Jose ay nakita na siya ng mga kapatid niya. At bago pa siya makarating, binalak na nila na patayin siya. 19Sinabi nila, “Paparating na ang mapanaginipin. Halikayo, patayin natin siya 20at ihulog sa isa sa mga balon dito. Sabihin na lang natin na pinatay siya ng mabangis na hayop. Tingnan nga natin kung magkakatotoo ang mga panaginip niya.”

21Nang marinig ni Reuben ang balak nila, pinagsikapan niyang iligtas si Jose. Sinabi niya, “Huwag na lang natin siyang patayin. 22Ihulog nʼyo na lang siya rito sa balon sa ilang, pero huwag ninyo siyang papatayin.” Sinabi iyon ni Reuben dahil plano na niyang iligtas si Jose at ibalik sa kanilang ama.

23Kaya pagdating ni Jose, hinubad nila ang mahaba at magandang damit nito, 24at inihulog sa balon na walang tubig.

25Habang kumakain sila, may natanaw silang mga mangangalakal na Ishmaelitang nanggaling sa Gilead. Ang mga kamelyo nila ay may kargang mga sangkap, gamot at pabangong dadalhin sa Egipto.

26Sinabi ni Juda sa kanyang mga kapatid, “Ano ba ang makukuha natin kung papatayin natin ang kapatid natin at ililihim ang kamatayan niya? 27Ang mabuti pa siguro ipagbili natin siya sa mga Ishmaelitang iyan. Huwag natin siyang patayin dahil kapatid natin siya.” Pumayag ang mga kapatid ni Juda sa sinabi niya.

28Kaya pagdaan ng mga mangangalakal na Ishmaelita,37:28 Ishmaelita: sa tekstong Hebreo, Midianita. Ang mga Midianita ay posibleng isa sa mga angkan ng Ishmaelita. iniahon nila si Jose mula sa balon at ipinagbili nila sa halagang 20 pilak. At dinala si Jose ng mga Ishmaelita sa Egipto.

29Nang bumalik si Reuben sa balon, wala na doon si Jose. Kaya pinunit niya ang kanyang damit sa lungkot. 30Pagkatapos, bumalik siya sa mga kapatid niya at sinabi, “Wala na doon ang nakababata nating kapatid. Paano na ako ngayon makakauwi roon kay ama?”

31Nagkatay sila ng kambing at isinawsaw sa dugo nito ang damit ni Jose. 32Pagkatapos, dinala nila ang damit ni Jose sa kanilang ama at sinabi, “Nakita po namin ito. Tingnan po ninyong mabuti kung kay Jose po ito o hindi.”

33Nakilala agad ni Jacob ang damit. Sinabi niya, “Sa kanya ito! Pinatay siya ng mabangis na hayop! Tiyak na niluray-luray siya ng hayop.”

34Pinunit agad ni Jacob ang kanyang damit at nagdamit ng sako bilang pagluluksa. Nagluksa siya nang matagal sa pagkamatay ng kanyang anak. 35Inaliw siya ng lahat ng anak niya pero patuloy pa rin ang pagdadalamhati niya. Sinabi niya, “Hayaan nʼyo na lang ako! Mamamatay akong nagdadalamhati dahil sa pagkamatay ng anak ko.” At nagpatuloy ang pag-iyak niya dahil kay Jose.

36Samantala, doon sa Egipto, ipinagbili ng mga Midianita37:36 Midianita: posibleng isa sa mga angkan ng mga Ishmaelita. si Jose kay Potifar na isa sa mga opisyal ng Faraon.37:36 Faraon: o, hari ng Egipto. Kapitan siya ng mga guwardya sa palasyo.

King James Version

Genesis 37:1-36

1And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.37.1 wherein…: Heb. of his father’s sojournings 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. 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 colours.37.3 colours: or, pieces 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.

5¶ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 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. 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.

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

12¶ And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. 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. 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.37.14 see…: Heb. see the peace of thy brethren, etc.

15¶ And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 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. 18And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 19And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.37.19 dreamer: Heb. master of dreams 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. 21And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 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.

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;37.23 colours: or, pieces 24And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 25And 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. 26And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27Come, 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.37.27 were…: Heb. hearkened 28Then 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¶ And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

31And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 32And 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. 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. 34And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 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. 36And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.37.36 officer: Heb. eunuch: but the word doth signify not only eunuchs, but also chamberlains, courtiers, and officers37.36 captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the slaughter men, or executioners
