| [1]ܘܝܼܬܸܒ݂ ܝܲܥܩܘܿܒ݂ ܒܐܲܪܥܵܐ ܕܡܲܥܡܪܹܗ ܕܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ: ܒܐܲܪܥܵܐ ܕܲܟ݂ܢܲܥܢ. |
[1]And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. |
| [2]ܘܗܵܠܹܝܢ ܬܵܘ̈ܠܕ݂ܵܬܹܗ ܕܝܲܥܩܘܿܒ݂: ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܒܲܪ ܫܒܲܥܸܣܪܹܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܼܢ: ܪܵܥܹܐ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܥܲܡ ܐܲܚܵܘܗܝ ܥܵܢܵܐ: ܘܗܘܼ ܪܵܒܹܐ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܥܲܡ ܒ̈ܢܲܝ ܒܲܠܗܵܐ ܘܥܲܡ ܒ̈ܢܲܝ ܙܲܠܦܵܐ ܢܸܫܵܘܗܝ ܕܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ: ܘܐܲܝܬܿܝܼ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܛܸܒܿܗܘܿܢ ܒܝܼܫܵܐ ܠܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܘܿܢ. |
[2]These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being still a lad even with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil report of them unto their father. |
| [3]ܘܝܼܣܪܵܝܹܠ ܪܵܚܸܡ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܠܹܗ ܠܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܝܲܬܿܝܼܪ ܡ̣ܢ ܟܠܗܘܿܢ ܒܢܵܘܗܝ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܒܲܪ ܣܲܝܒܿܘܼܬܼܵܐ ܗܘܵܐ ܠܹܗ: ܘܲܥܒܲܕ݂ ܠܹܗ ܟܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܦܸ̈ܕ݂ܝܵܬܼܵܐ. |
[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]ܘܲܚܙܵܘ ܐܲܚܵܘܗܝ ܕܠܹܗ ܪܵܚܸܡ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܘܿܢ ܝܲܬܿܝܼܪ ܡ̣ܢ ܟܠܗܘܿܢ: ܘܲܣܢܵܐܘܼܗܝ ܘܠܵܐ ܐܸܫܟܲܚܘ ܠܲܡܡܲܠܵܠܘܼ ܥܲܡܹܗ ܫܠܵܡܵܐ. |
[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]ܘܲܚܠܲܡ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ: ܘܚܵܘܝܹܗ ܠܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܵܘܣܸܦܘ ܠܡܸܣܢܝܹܗ. |
[5]And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more. |
| [6]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܗܘܿܢ: ܫܡܲܥܘ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܕܚܸܠܡܹܬܼ. |
[6]And he said unto them: 'Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: |
| [7]ܗܵܐ ܚܢܲܢ ܐܵܣܪܝܼܢ ܚ̄ܢܲܢ ܟܲܦܹ̈ܐ ܒܓ݂ܵܘ ܚܲܩܠܵܐ: ܘܗܵܐ ܩܵܡܲܬܼ ܟܲܦܝ ܘܐܸܙܕܲܩܦܲܬܼ: ܘܗܵܐ ܚܵܕ݂ܪܵܢ ܟܲܦܲܝ̈ܟܿܘܿܢ ܘܣܵܓܼ̈ܕܵܢ ܠܟܲܦܝ. |
[7]For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came round about, and bowed down to my sheaf.' |
| [8]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ܘ ܠܹܗ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܡܲܡܠܵܟ݂ܘܼ ܡܲܡܠܸܟ ܐܲܢ̄ܬܿ ܥܠܲܝܢ: ܐܵܘ ܡܸܫܬܲܠܵܛܘܼ ܡܸܫܬܲܠܲܛ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ ܒܲܢ: ܘܐܵܘܣܸܦܘ ܬܘܼܒ݂ ܠܡܸܣܢܝܹܗ ܥܲܠ ܚܸܠܡܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܥܲܠ ܦܸܬܼܓ݂ܵܡܵܘ̈ܗܝ. |
[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]ܘܲܚܠܲܡ ܬܘܼܒ݂ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ ܐ̄ܚܪܹܢܵܐ ܘܐܸܫܬܲܥܝܹܗ ܠܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܗܘܿܢ: ܗܵܐ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ ܚܸܠܡܹܬܼ ܬܘܼܒ݂: ܘܗܵܐ ܫܸܡܫܵܐ ܘܣܲܗܪܵܐ ܘܲܚܕܲܥܣܲܪ ܟܵܘܟܿܒ݂ܝܼܢ ܣܵܓܼܕܿܝܼܢ ܠܝܼ. |
[9]And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.' |
| [10]ܘܐܸܫܬܲܥܝܼ ܠܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ ܘܠܲܐܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܲܟ݂ܐܵܐ ܒܹܗ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܹܗ: ܡܵܢܵܘ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܕܲܚܠܲܡܬܿ: ܡܹܐܬܼܵܐ ܢܹܐܬܹܐ ܐܸܢܵܐ ܘܐܸܡܵܟ݂ ܘܐܲܚܲܝ̈ܟ ܠܡܸܣܓܲܕ݂ ܠܵܟ݂ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ. |
[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 to thee to the earth?' |
| [11]ܘܛܵܢܘ ܒܹܗ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ ܢܵܛܲܪ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܦܸܬܼܓ݂ܵܡܹ̈ܐ. |
[11]And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind. |
| [12]ܘܐܸܙܲܠܘ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܝܵܘܣܸܦ: ܠܡܸܪܥܵܐ ܥܵܢܵܐ ܕܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܘܿܢ ܒܲܫܟܹܝܡ. |
[12]And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. |
| [13]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܝܼܣܪܵܝܹܠ ܠܝܵܘܣܸܦ: ܗܵܐ ܐܲܚܲܝܟ ܪܵܥܹܝܢ ܒܲܫܟܹܝܡ: ܬܵܐ ܐܹܫܲܕܿܪܵܟ݂ ܠܘܵܬܼܗܘܿܢ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܹܗ ܗܵܐ ܐܸܢܵܐ. |
[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]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܹܗ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ: ܙܸܠ ܚܙܝܼ ܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܕܐܲܚܲܝܟ ܘܲܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܕܥܵܢܵܐ: ܘܐܲܬܼܝܼܒܲܝܢܝ ܦܸܬܼܓ݂ܵܡܵܐ: ܘܫܲܕܿܪܹܗ ܝܲܥܩܘܿܒ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܥܘܼܡܩܵܐ ܕܚܸܒ݂ܪܘܼܢ: ܘܐܸܬܼܵܐ ܠܲܫܟܹܝܡ. |
[14]And he said to him: 'Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me back word.' So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. |
| [15]ܘܐܸܫܟܿܚܹܗ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܵܐ ܟܲܕ݂ ܛܵܥܹܐ ܒܚܲܩܠܵܐ: ܘܫܲܐܠܹܗ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܵܐ ܗܵܘ̇ ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܹܗ: ܡܵܢܵܐ ܒܵܥܹܐ ܐܲܢ̄ܬܿ. |
[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]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂: ܠܐܲܚܲܝ̈ ܒܵܥܹܐ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ: ܚܵܘܵܢܝ ܐܲܝܟܵܐ ܪܵܥܹܝܢ. |
[16]And he said: 'I seek my brethren. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock.' |
| [17]ܐܸܡܲܪ ܠܹܗ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܵܐ: ܫܩܲܠܘ ܠܗܘܿܢ ܡܸܟܵܐ: ܘܫܸܡܥܹܬܼ ܕܐܲܡܪܝܼܢ ܢܹܐܙܲܠ ܠܕ݂ܘܿܬܼܵܢ: ܘܐܸܙܲܠ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܒܵܬܲܪ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܸܫܟܲܚ ܐܸܢܘܿܢ ܒܕ݂ܘܿܬܼܵܢ. |
[17]And the man said: 'They ar departed hence; for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothan.' And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. |
| [18]ܘܲܚܙܵܐܘܼܗܝ ܡ̣ܢ ܪܘܼܚܩܵܐ: ܘܥܲܕ݂ܠܵܐ ܢܸܬܼܩܲܪܲܒ݂ ܠܘܵܬܼܗܘܿܢ: ܡܸܬܼܚܲܫܒ݂ܝܼܢ ܗ̄ܘܵܘ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ ܠܡܸܩܛܠܹܗ. |
[18]And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. |
| [19]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܓܒܲܪ ܠܐܲܚܘܼܗܝ: ܗܵܐ ܚܵܠܹܡ ܚܸܠܡܹ̈ܐ ܗܵܘ̇ ܐܵܬܹܐ. |
[19]And they said one to another: 'Behold, this dreamer cometh. |
| [20]ܬܵܘ ܢܸܩܛܠܝܼܘܗܝ ܘܢܲܪܡܹܝܘܗܝ ܒܚܲܕ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܓܘܼ̈ܒܹܿܐ: ܘܢܹܐܡܲܪ ܕܚܲܝܘܬܼܵܐ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ ܐܸܟܲܠܬܹܿܗ: ܘܢܸܚܙܸܐ ܡܵܢܵܐ ܗܵܘܹ̇ܐ ܠܚܸܠܡܵܘ̈ܗܝ. |
[20]Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say: An evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.' |
| [21]ܘܲܫܡܲܥ ܪܘܼܒܹܝܠ: ܘܦܲܨܝܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܐܝܼܕܲܝܗܘܿܢ. |
[21]And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said: 'Let us not take his life.' |
| [22]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܗܘܿܢ: ܠܵܐ ܢܸܩܛܘܿܠ ܢܲܦ̮ܫܵܐ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܗܘܿܢ ܪܘܼܒܹܝܠ: ܠܵܐ ܬܹܐܫܕܿܘܼܢ ܕܡܵܐ: ܐܲܪܡܵܐܘܼܗܝ ܒܓܘܼܒܵܐ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܕܲܒ݂ܡܲܕ݂ܒܿܪܵܐ: ܘܐܝܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܬܵܘܫܛܘܼܢ ܒܹܗ: ܕܲܢܦܲܨܝܼܘܗܝ ܡ̣ܢ ܐܝܼܕܲܝܗܘܿܢ ܘܢܲܗܦܟ݂ܝܼܘܗܝ ܠܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ. |
[22]And Reuben said unto them: 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him'—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. |
| [23]ܘܟܲܕ݂ ܐܸܬܼܵܐ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܠܘܵܬܼ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܐܲܫܠܚܘܼܗܝ ܟܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܦܸ̈ܕ݂ܝܵܬܼܵܐ ܕܲܠܒ݂ܝܼܫ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ. |
[23]And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on him; |
| [24]ܘܢܲܣܒܿܘܼܗܝ ܘܐܲܪܡܝܘܼܗܝ ܒܓܼܘܼܒܵܐ: ܘܓܼܘܼܒܵܐ ܣܪܝܼܩ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܘܠܲܝܬܿ ܒܹܗ ܡܲܝܵܐ. |
[24]And they took him, and cast him into the pit—and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. |
| [25]ܘܝܼܬܸܒ݂ܘ ܠܡܹܐܟܲܠ ܠܲܚܡܵܐ: ܘܐܲܪܝܼܡܘ ܥܲܝܢܲܝܗܘܿܢ ܘܚܵܙܹܝܢ: ܘܗܵܐ ܫܝܵܪܬܵܐ ܕܥܲܪ̈ܒ݂ܵܝܹܐ ܐܵܬܼܝܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܓܸܠܥܵܕ݂: ܘܓܲܡ̈ܠܲܝܗܘܿܢ ܛܥܝܼܢܝܼܢ ܪ̈ܗܸܛܢܹܐ: ܘܨܲܪܘܵܐ ܘܒܸܛܡܹ̈ܐ: ܘܐܵܙܠ̄ܝܢ ܠܡܵܘܒܵܠܘܼ ܠܡܸܨܪܹܝܢ. |
[25]And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and ladanum, going to carry it down to Egypt. |
| [26]ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܝܼܗܘܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܠܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܡܵܢܵܐ ܝܘܼܬܼܪܵܢܵܐ ܕܢܸܩܛܘܿܠ ܠܐܲܚܘܼܢ: ܘܲܢܟܲܣܸܐ ܕܡܹܗ. |
[26]And Judah said unto his brethren: 'What profit is it if we slay ou brother and conceal his blood? |
| [27]ܬܵܘ ܢܙܲܒܿܢܝܼܘܗܝ ܠܥܲܪ̈ܒ݂ܵܝܹܐ: ܘܐܝܼܕ݂ܵܢ ܠܵܐ ܬܸܗܘܸܐ ܒܹܗ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܐܲܚܘܼܢ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܘܒܸܣܪܲܢ: ܘܲܫܡܲܥܘ ܡܸܢܹܗ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ. |
[27]Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh.' And his brethren hearkened unto him. |
| [28]ܘܲܥܒܲܪܘ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܹ̈ܐ ܬܲܓܵܪܹ̈ܐ ܡܸܕ݂ܝܵܢܵܝܹ̈ܐ: ܘܲܢܓܲܕ݂ܘ ܐܲܣܩܘܼܗܝ ܠܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܡ̣ܢ ܓܘܼܒܵܐ: ܘܙܲܒܿܢܘܼܗܝ ܠܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܠܥܲܪ̈ܒ݂ܵܝܹܐ ܒܥܸܣܪܝܼܢ ܕܟܸܣܦܵܐ: ܘܐܲܝܬܿܝܘܼܗܝ ܠܡܸܨܪܹܝܢ. |
[28]And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt. |
| [29]ܘܲܗܦܲܟ ܪܘܼܒܹܝܠ ܠܓܼܘܼܒܵܐ: ܘܗܵܐ ܠܲܝܬ ܒܹܗ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ: ܘܨܲܪܝܼ ܠܒ݂ܘܼܫܵܘ̈ܗܝ. |
[29]And Reube returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. |
| [30]ܘܲܗܦܲܟ ܠܘܵܬܼ ܐܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ ܠܗܘܿܢ: ܛܲܠܝܵܐ ܐܲܝܟܵܐ ܗ̄ܘܼ: ܘܐܸܢܵܐ ܠܐܲܝܟܵܐ ܐܵܙܹܠ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ. |
[30]And he returned unto his brethren, and said: 'The child is not; and as for me, whither shall I go?' |
| [31]ܘܢܲܣܒܿܘܼܗܿ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܝܵܘܣܸܦ: ܘܲܢܟܲܣܘ ܨܸܦܪܵܝܵܐ ܕܥܸܙܹ̈ܐ: ܘܦܲܠܦܠܘܼܗܿ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܒܲܕ݂ܡܹܗ. |
[31]And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood; |
| [32]ܘܫܲܕܿܪܘܼܗܿ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܦܸ̈ܕ݂ܝܵܬܼܵܐ ܘܐܲܝܬܿܝܘܼܗܿ ܠܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܘܿܢ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂ܘ: ܗܵܕܹܐ ܐܸܫܟܲܚܢ: ܐܸܫܬܵܘܕܲܥ ܟܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ: ܐܸܢ ܕܲܒ݂ܪܵܟ݂ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܐܵܘ ܠܵܐ. |
[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 is thy son's coat or not.' |
| [33]ܘܐܸܫܬܵܘܕܿܥܵܗ ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂: ܟܘܿܬܿܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܒܹܪܝ ܗ̄ܝܼ: ܚܲܝܘܬܼܵܐ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ ܐܸܟܲܠܬܹܗ: ܡܸܬܼܒܲܪ ܬܒ݂ܝܼܪ ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܒܹܪܝ. |
[33]And he knew it, and said: 'It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.' |
| [34]ܘܨܲܪܝܼ ܝܲܥܩܘܿܒ݂ ܠܒ݂ܘܼܫܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܸܣܲܪ ܣܲܩܵܐ ܒܚܲܨܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܐܸܬܼܐܒܸܠ ܥܲܠ ܒܪܹܗ ܝܵܘ̈ܡܵܬܼܵܐ ܣܲܓܿܝܹ̈ܐܐ. |
[34]And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. |
| [35]ܘܩܵܡܘ ܟܠܗܘܿܢ ܒܢܵܘ̈ܗܝ: ܘܟ݂ܠܗܹܝܢ ܒܢܵܬܹ̈ܗ ܠܲܡܒܲܝܵܐܘܼܬܹܗ: ܘܠܵܐ ܨܒ݂ܵܐ ܠܡܸܬܼܒܲܝܵܐܘܼ: ܘܐܸܡܲܪ݂: ܐܸܚܘܿܬܼ ܥܲܠ ܒܹܪܝ ܟܲܕ݂ ܐܲܒ݂ܝܼܠ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܠܲܫܝܘܿܠ: ܘܲܒ݂ܟ݂ܵܝܗܝ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܗܝ. |
[35]And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said: 'Nay, but I will go down to the grave to my son mourning.' And his father wept for him. |
| [36]ܘܡܸܕ݂ܝܵܢܵܝܹ̈ܐ ܙܲܒܿܢܘܼܗܝ ܒܡܸܨܪܹܝܢ ܠܦܘܿܛܝܼܦܲܪ ܡܗܲܝܡܢܵܐ: ܪܲܒ ܕܲܚܫܹ̈ܐ ܕܦܸܪܥܘܿܢ. |
[36]And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard. |
