Genesis 37

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.	1 Κατωκησε δε ο Ιακωβ εν τη γη, εν η παρωκησεν ο πατηρ αυτου, εν τη γη Χανααν.
2 And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the dock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of and of Zelpha his father's wives : and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.	2 Αυτη ειναι γενεαλογια του Ιακωβ. Ο Ιωσηφ, νεος ων ετων δεκαεπτα, εποιμαινε τα προβατα μετα των αδελφων αυτου, των υιων της Βαλλας και των υιων της Ζελφας, των γυναικων του πατρος αυτου? και ανεφερεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τον πατερα αυτων την κακην αυτων φημην.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.	3 Ο δε Ισραηλ ηγαπα τον Ιωσηφ υπερ παντας τους υιους αυτου, διοτι ητο υιος του γηρατος αυτου? και εκαμεν εις αυτον χιτωνα ποικιλοχρωμον.
4 And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.	4 Βλεποντες δε οι αδελφοι αυτου, οτι αυτον ηγαπα ο πατηρ αυτων υπερ παντας τους αδελφους αυτου, εμισησαν αυτον και δεν ηδυναντο να ομιλωσι προς αυτον ειρηνικως.
5 Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.	5 Ενυπνιασθεις δε ο Ιωσηφ ενυπνιον, διηγηθη αυτο εις τους αδελφους αυτου? και εμισησαν αυτον ετι μαλλον.
6 And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.	6 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ακουσατε, παρακαλω, το ενυπνιον τουτο το οποιον ενυπνιασθην.
7 I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, end stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf.	7 Ιδου, ημεις εδενομεν δεματια εν μεσω της πεδιαδος? και ιδου, εσηκωθη το ιδικον μου δεματιον και εσταθη ορθιον? και ιδου, τα ιδικα σας δεματια περιστραφεντα προσεκυνησαν το ιδικον μου δεματιον.
8 His brethren answered : Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.	8 Ειπον δε προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου, Βασιλευς θελεις γεινει εφ' ημας; η κυριος θελεις γεινει εις ημας; Και εμισησαν αυτον ετι μαλλον δια τα ενυπνια αυτου και δια τους λογους αυτου.
9 He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.	9 Ενυπνιασθη δε και αλλο ενυπνιον, και διηγηθη αυτο προς τους αδελφους αυτου? και ειπεν, Ιδου, ενυπνιασθην αλλο ενυπνιον? και ιδου, ο ηλιος και η σεληνη και ενδεκα αστερες με προσεκυνουν.
10 And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?	10 Και διηγηθη αυτο προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς τους αδελφους αυτου και επεπληξεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι ειναι το ενυπνιον τουτο, το οποιον ενυπνιασθης; αραγε θελομεν ελθει, εγω και η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου, δια να σε προσκυνησωμεν εως εδαφους;
11 His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.	11 Και εφθονησαν αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου? ο δε πατηρ αυτου εφυλαττε τον λογον.
12 And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father's docks,	12 Και υπηγαν οι αδελφοι αυτου να βοσκησωσι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων εις Συχεμ.
13 Israel said to him : Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:	13 Και ειπεν ο Ισραηλ προς τον Ιωσηφ, δεν βοσκουσιν οι αδελφοι σου εν Συχεμ; ελθε να σε στειλω προς αυτους. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, εγω.
14 I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:	14 Και ειπε προς αυτον, Υπαγε λοιπον να ιδης, αν ηναι καλα οι αδελφοι σου και καλα τα προβατα, και φερε μοι ειδησιν. Και απεστειλεν αυτον απο της κοιλαδος της Χεβρων? και ηλθεν εις Συχεμ.
15 And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.	15 Και ευρηκεν αυτον ανθρωπος τις, ενω περιεπλανατο εν τη πεδιαδι? και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο ανθρωπος, λεγων, Τι ζητεις;
16 But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the docks.	16 Ο δε ειπε, τους αδελφους μου ζητω? ειπε μοι, παρακαλω, που βοσκουσι.
17 And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.	17 Και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος, Ανεχωρησαν απο εδω? διοτι ηκουσα αυτους λεγοντας, Ας υπαγωμεν εις Δωθαν. Και υπηγεν ο Ιωσηφ κατοπιν των αδελφων αυτου, και ευρηκεν αυτους εν Δωθαν.
18 And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.	18 Οι δε ιδοντες αυτον μακροθεν, πριν πλησιαση εις αυτους, συνεβουλευθησαν κατ' αυτου να φονευσωσιν αυτον.
19 And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.	19 Και ειπεν ο εις προς τον αλλον, Ιδου, ερχεται εκεινος ο κυριος των ενυπνιων?
20 Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit : and we will say : Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him :	20 ελθετε λοιπον τωρα και ας φονευσωμεν αυτον και ας ριψωμεν αυτον εις ενα εκ των λακκων? και θελομεν ειπει, Θηριον κακον κατεφαγεν αυτον? και θελομεν ιδει τι θελουσι γεινει τα ενυπνια αυτου.
21 And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, end said:	21 Και ακουσας ο Ρουβην ηλευθερωσεν αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων, λεγων, Ας μη βλαψωμεν αυτον εις την ζωην.
22 Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.	22 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ρουβην, Μη χυσητε αιμα? ριψατε αυτον εις τουτον τον λακκον, τον εν τη ερημω, και χειρα μη βαλητε επ' αυτον? δια να ελευθερωση αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων, και να αποδωση αυτον εις τον πατερα αυτου.
23 And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:	23 Οτε λοιπον ηλθεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου, εξεδυσαν τον Ιωσηφ τον χιτωνα αυτου, τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρωμον, τον επ' αυτον?
24 And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.	24 και λαβοντες αυτον, ερριψαν εις τον λακκον? ο δε λακκος ητο κενος? δεν ειχεν υδωρ.
25 And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Calaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.	25 Επειτα εκαθησαν να φαγωσιν αρτον, και αναβλεψαντες ειδον? και ιδου, συνοδια Ισμαηλιτων ηρχετο απο Γαλααδ μετα των καμηλων αυτων φορτωμενων αρωματα και βαλσαμον και μυρον, και επορευοντο να φερωσιν αυτα κατω εις την Αιγυπτον.
26 And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?	26 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας προς τους αδελφους αυτου, Τις η ωφελεια, εαν φονευσωμεν τον αδελφον ημων και κρυψωμεν το αιμα αυτου;
27 It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.	27 ελθετε και ας πωλησωμεν αυτον εις τους Ισμαηλιτας? και ας μη βαλωμεν τας χειρας ημων επ' αυτον? διοτι αδελφος ημων, σαρξ ημων ειναι. Και υπηκουσαν οι αδελφοι αυτου.
28 And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.	28 Και ενω διεβαινον οι Μαδιανιται εμποροι, ανεσυραν και ανεβιβασαν τον Ιωσηφ εκ του λακκου και επωλησαν τον Ιωσηφ δια εικοσι αργυρια εις τους Ισμαηλιτας? οι δε εφεραν τον Ιωσηφ εις Αιγυπτον.
29 And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:	29 Επεστρεψε δε ο Ρουβην εις τον λακκον, και ιδου, ο Ιωσηφ δεν ητο εν τω λακκω? και διεσχισε τα ιματια αυτου.
30 And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?	30 Και επεστρεψε προς τους αδελφους αυτου, και ειπε, Το παιδιον δεν υπαρχει και εγω, εγω που να υπαγω;
31 And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed :	31 Τοτε ελαβον τον χιτωνα του Ιωσηφ και εσφαξαν εριφιον εκ των αιγων, και εβαψαν τον χιτωνα εν τω αιματι?
32 Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son's coat, or not.	32 και απεστειλαν τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρωμον, και εφεραν αυτον προς τον πατερα αυτων και ειπον, Ευρηκαμεν τουτον? γνωρισον τωρα, αν ηναι ο χιτων του υιου σου η ουχι.
33 And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.	33 Ο δε εγνωρισεν αυτον και ειπε, Ο χιτων του υιου μου ειναι? θηριον κακον κατεφαγεν αυτον? ολος κατεσπαραχθη ο Ιωσηφ.
34 And tearing his garments, he put an sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.	34 Και διεσχισεν ο Ιακωβ τα ιματια αυτου και εβαλε σακκον εις την οσφυν αυτου και επενθησε τον υιον αυτου ημερας πολλας.
35 And alibis children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping,	35 Και εσηκωθησαν παντες οι υιοι αυτου και πασαι αι θυγατερες αυτου, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτον? αλλα δεν ηθελε να παρηγορηθη, λεγων, Οτι πενθων θελω καταβη προς τον υιον μου εις τον ταφον. Και εκλαυσεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου.
36 The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.	36 Οι δε Μαδιανιται επωλησαν αυτον εν τη Αιγυπτω εις τον Πετεφρην, αυλικον του Φαραω, αρχοντα των σωματοφυλακων.
