| 1 κατωκει δε ιακωβ εν τη γη ου παρωκησεν ο πατηρ αυτου εν γη χανααν | 1 Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. |
| 2 αυται δε αι γενεσεις ιακωβ ιωσηφ δεκα επτα ετων ην ποιμαινων μετα των αδελφων αυτου τα προβατα ων νεος μετα των υιων βαλλας και μετα των υιων ζελφας των γυναικων του πατρος αυτου κατηνεγκεν δε ιωσηφ ψογον πονηρον προς ισραηλ τον πατερα αυτων | 2 This is the history of the family of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought an ill report of them to their father. |
| 3 ιακωβ δε ηγαπα τον ιωσηφ παρα παντας τους υιους αυτου οτι υιος γηρους ην αυτω εποιησεν δε αυτω χιτωνα ποικιλον | 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a long robe with sleeves. |
| 4 ιδοντες δε οι αδελφοι αυτου οτι αυτον ο πατηρ φιλει εκ παντων των υιων αυτου εμισησαν αυτον και ουκ εδυναντο λαλειν αυτω ουδεν ειρηνικον | 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. |
| 5 ενυπνιασθεις δε ιωσηφ ενυπνιον απηγγειλεν αυτο τοις αδελφοις αυτου | 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they only hated him the more. |
| 6 και ειπεν αυτοις ακουσατε του ενυπνιου τουτου ου ενυπνιασθην | 6 He said to them, "Hear this dream which I have dreamed: |
| 7 ωμην ημας δεσμευειν δραγματα εν μεσω τω πεδιω και ανεστη το εμον δραγμα και ωρθωθη περιστραφεντα δε τα δραγματα υμων προσεκυνησαν το εμον δραγμα | 7 behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and stood upright; and behold, your sheaves gathered round it, and bowed down to my sheaf." |
| 8 ειπαν δε αυτω οι αδελφοι μη βασιλευων βασιλευσεις εφ' ημας η κυριευων κυριευσεις ημων και προσεθεντο ετι μισειν αυτον ενεκεν των ενυπνιων αυτου και ενεκεν των ρηματων αυτου | 8 His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to have dominion over us?" So they hated him yet more for his dreams and for his words. |
| 9 ειδεν δε ενυπνιον ετερον και διηγησατο αυτο τω πατρι αυτου και τοις αδελφοις αυτου και ειπεν ιδου ενυπνιασαμην ενυπνιον ετερον ωσπερ ο ηλιος και η σεληνη και ενδεκα αστερες προσεκυνουν με | 9 Then he dreamed another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me." |
| 10 και επετιμησεν αυτω ο πατηρ αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι το ενυπνιον τουτο ο ενυπνιασθης αρα γε ελθοντες ελευσομεθα εγω τε και η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου προσκυνησαι σοι επι την γην | 10 But when he 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? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?" |
| 11 εζηλωσαν δε αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου ο δε πατηρ αυτου διετηρησεν το ρημα | 11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind. |
| 12 επορευθησαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτου βοσκειν τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων εις συχεμ | 12 Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem. |
| 13 και ειπεν ισραηλ προς ιωσηφ ουχ οι αδελφοι σου ποιμαινουσιν εν συχεμ δευρο αποστειλω σε προς αυτους ειπεν δε αυτω ιδου εγω | 13 And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." And he said to him, "Here I am." |
| 14 ειπεν δε αυτω ισραηλ πορευθεις ιδε ει υγιαινουσιν οι αδελφοι σου και τα προβατα και αναγγειλον μοι και απεστειλεν αυτον εκ της κοιλαδος της χεβρων και ηλθεν εις συχεμ | 14 So he said to him, "Go now, see if it is well with your brothers, and with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. |
| 15 και ευρεν αυτον ανθρωπος πλανωμενον εν τω πεδιω ηρωτησεν δε αυτον ο ανθρωπος λεγων τι ζητεις | 15 And a man found him wandering in the fields; and the man asked him, "What are you seeking?" |
| 16 ο δε ειπεν τους αδελφους μου ζητω αναγγειλον μοι που βοσκουσιν | 16 "I am seeking my brothers," he said, "tell me, I pray you, where they are pasturing the flock." |
| 17 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ανθρωπος απηρκασιν εντευθεν ηκουσα γαρ αυτων λεγοντων πορευθωμεν εις δωθαιμ και επορευθη ιωσηφ κατοπισθεν των αδελφων αυτου και ευρεν αυτους εν δωθαιμ | 17 And the man said, "They have gone away, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them at Dothan. |
| 18 προειδον δε αυτον μακροθεν προ του εγγισαι αυτον προς αυτους και επονηρευοντο του αποκτειναι αυτον | 18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him. |
| 19 ειπαν δε εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου ιδου ο ενυπνιαστης εκεινος ερχεται | 19 They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer. |
| 20 νυν ουν δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και ριψωμεν αυτον εις ενα των λακκων και ερουμεν θηριον πονηρον κατεφαγεν αυτον και οψομεθα τι εσται τα ενυπνια αυτου | 20 Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild beast has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams." |
| 21 ακουσας δε ρουβην εξειλατο αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων και ειπεν ου παταξομεν αυτον εις ψυχην | 21 But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life." |
| 22 ειπεν δε αυτοις ρουβην μη εκχεητε αιμα εμβαλετε αυτον εις τον λακκον τουτον τον εν τη ερημω χειρα δε μη επενεγκητε αυτω οπως εξεληται αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων και αποδω αυτον τω πατρι αυτου | 22 And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; cast him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him"--that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. |
| 23 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηλθεν ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου εξεδυσαν τον ιωσηφ τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλον τον περι αυτον | 23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the long robe with sleeves that he wore; |
| 24 και λαβοντες αυτον ερριψαν εις τον λακκον ο δε λακκος κενος υδωρ ουκ ειχεν | 24 and they took him and cast him into a pit. The pit was empty, there was no water in it. |
| 25 εκαθισαν δε φαγειν αρτον και αναβλεψαντες τοις οφθαλμοις ειδον και ιδου οδοιποροι ισμαηλιται ηρχοντο εκ γαλααδ και αι καμηλοι αυτων εγεμον θυμιαματων και ρητινης και στακτης επορευοντο δε καταγαγειν εις αιγυπτον | 25 Then they sat down to eat; and looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. |
| 26 ειπεν δε ιουδας προς τους αδελφους αυτου τι χρησιμον εαν αποκτεινωμεν τον αδελφον ημων και κρυψωμεν το αιμα αυτου | 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? |
| 27 δευτε αποδωμεθα αυτον τοις ισμαηλιταις τουτοις αι δε χειρες ημων μη εστωσαν επ' αυτον οτι αδελφος ημων και σαρξ ημων εστιν ηκουσαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτου | 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers heeded him. |
| 28 και παρεπορευοντο οι ανθρωποι οι μαδιηναιοι οι εμποροι και εξειλκυσαν και ανεβιβασαν τον ιωσηφ εκ του λακκου και απεδοντο τον ιωσηφ τοις ισμαηλιταις εικοσι χρυσων και κατηγαγον τον ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον | 28 Then Midianite traders passed by; and they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver; and they took Joseph to Egypt. |
| 29 ανεστρεψεν δε ρουβην επι τον λακκον και ουχ ορα τον ιωσηφ εν τω λακκω και διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου | 29 When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes |
| 30 και ανεστρεψεν προς τους αδελφους αυτου και ειπεν το παιδαριον ουκ εστιν εγω δε που πορευομαι ετι | 30 and returned to his brothers, and said, "The lad is gone; and I, where shall I go?" |
| 31 λαβοντες δε τον χιτωνα του ιωσηφ εσφαξαν εριφον αιγων και εμολυναν τον χιτωνα τω αιματι | 31 Then they took Joseph's robe, and killed a goat, and dipped the robe in the blood; |
| 32 και απεστειλαν τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλον και εισηνεγκαν τω πατρι αυτων και ειπαν τουτον ευρομεν επιγνωθι ει χιτων του υιου σου εστιν η ου | 32 and they sent the long robe with sleeves and brought it to their father, and said, "This we have found; see now whether it is your son's robe or not." |
| 33 και επεγνω αυτον και ειπεν χιτων του υιου μου εστιν θηριον πονηρον κατεφαγεν αυτον θηριον ηρπασεν τον ιωσηφ | 33 And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe; a wild beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces." |
| 34 διερρηξεν δε ιακωβ τα ιματια αυτου και επεθετο σακκον επι την οσφυν αυτου και επενθει τον υιον αυτου ημερας πολλας | 34 Then Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. |
| 35 συνηχθησαν δε παντες οι υιοι αυτου και αι θυγατερες και ηλθον παρακαλεσαι αυτον και ουκ ηθελεν παρακαλεισθαι λεγων οτι καταβησομαι προς τον υιον μου πενθων εις αδου και εκλαυσεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου | 35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and said, "No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning." Thus his father wept for him. |
| 36 οι δε μαδιηναιοι απεδοντο τον ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον τω πετεφρη τω σπαδοντι φαραω αρχιμαγειρω | 36 Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Poti-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard. |
