Genesis 37

And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

Κατωκησε δε ο Ιακωβ εν τη γη, εν η παρωκησεν ο πατηρ αυτου, εν τη γη Χανααν.

These 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.

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.

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.

Ο δε Ισραηλ ηγαπα τον Ιωσηφ υπερ παντας τους υιους αυτου, διοτι ητο υιος του γηρατος αυτου και εκαμεν εις αυτον χιτωνα ποικιλοχρωμον.

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.

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.

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

Ενυπνιασθεις δε ο Ιωσηφ ενυπνιον, διηγηθη αυτο εις τους αδελφους αυτου και εμισησαν αυτον ετι μαλλον.

And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ακουσατε, παρακαλω, το ενυπνιον τουτο το οποιον ενυπνιασθην.

For, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ourselves to thee to the earth?

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;

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

Και εφθονησαν αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου ο δε πατηρ αυτου εφυλαττε τον λογον.

And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

Και υπηγαν οι αδελφοι αυτου να βοσκησωσι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων εις Συχεμ.

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.

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.

And 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.

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.

And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

Και ευρηκεν αυτον ανθρωπος τις, ενω περιεπλανατο εν τη πεδιαδι και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο ανθρωπος, λεγων, Τι ζητεις;

And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

Ο δε ειπε, τους αδελφους μου ζητω ειπε μοι, παρακαλω, που βοσκουσι.

And 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.

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.

And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

Οι δε ιδοντες αυτον μακροθεν, πριν πλησιαση εις αυτους, συνεβουλευθησαν κατ αυτου να φονευσωσιν αυτον.

And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

Και ειπεν ο εις προς τον αλλον, Ιδου, ερχεται εκεινος ο κυριος των ενυπνιων

Come 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.

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.

And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

Και ακουσας ο Ρουβην ηλευθερωσεν αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων, λεγων, Ας μη βλαψωμεν αυτον εις την ζωην.

And 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.

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.

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;

Οτε λοιπον ηλθεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου, εξεδυσαν τον Ιωσηφ τον χιτωνα αυτου, τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρωμον, τον επ αυτον

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

και λαβοντες αυτον, ερριψαν εις τον λακκον ο δε λακκος ητο κενος δεν ειχεν υδωρ.

And 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.

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.

And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας προς τους αδελφους αυτου, Τις η ωφελεια, εαν φονευσωμεν τον αδελφον ημων και κρυψωμεν το αιμα αυτου;

Come, 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.

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.

Then 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.

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.

And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

Επεστρεψε δε ο Ρουβην εις τον λακκον, και ιδου, ο Ιωσηφ δεν ητο εν τω λακκω και διεσχισε τα ιματια αυτου.

And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

Και επεστρεψε προς τους αδελφους αυτου, και ειπε, Το παιδιον δεν υπαρχει και εγω, εγω που να υπαγω;

And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

Τοτε ελαβον τον χιτωνα του Ιωσηφ και εσφαξαν εριφιον εκ των αιγων, και εβαψαν τον χιτωνα εν τω αιματι

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 be thy son's coat or no.

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.

And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

Ο δε εγνωρισεν αυτον και ειπε, Ο χιτων του υιου μου ειναι θηριον κακον κατεφαγεν αυτον ολος κατεσπαραχθη ο Ιωσηφ.

And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

Και διεσχισεν ο Ιακωβ τα ιματια αυτου και εβαλε σακκον εις την οσφυν αυτου και επενθησε τον υιον αυτου ημερας πολλας.

And 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.

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.

And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

Οι δε Μαδιανιται επωλησαν αυτον εν τη Αιγυπτω εις τον Πετεφρην, αυλικον του Φαραω, αρχοντα των σωματοφυλακων.
