| 1 | And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. | |
| 2 | 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 th | Ənta da əttarix ən maddanəs ən Yaqub.

| 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. | Israyil(eṣəm wahaḍan ən Yaqub) iṣṣof Yusəf bararan-net kul win haḍatnen fəlas tušaray-net a daq q igraw. Ig'as takatkat təknat šihussay. |
| 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. | Ənayan məqqaran-net as əntanay iṣṣof tan ši-ssan Yusəf, təzzar əgzaran tu har as abas əfragan dər-əs ələsan takkayt. |
| 5 | And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. | Iga Yusəf targət, imal asan tat, təzzar əsannahalan tu gezzar. |
| 6 | And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: | Iṇṇ'asan: «Səsəmat i ad awan əməla targət ta əgeɣ, |
| 7 | 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. | iṃan nana a nayaɣ nəha šiwəgas nətaqqan šibolasen n alkaman, as din əgreɣ təbolast ta nnu təbdad, əkkanat tat du šin nawan əɣalayɣalaynat tat, əssəjadnat as.» |
| 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. | Əṇṇan as məqqaran-net: «Əngəm kay a z iqqəlan əmənokal nana, təxkəmaɣ ana?» Əsannahalan tu məqqaran-net gezzar wəllen fəl tərgət ta sər-san iga da, d amel wa dasan tat iga. |
| 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. | Ilas Yusəf igi ən tərgət iyyat imal tat i məqqaran-net. Iṇṇa: «Əgeɣ targət iyyat tolas təṃosat as ənaya təfuk əd təllit d eṭran əṃosnen maraw d iyyan, a di sajadnen.» |
| 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 ourselves to thee to the earth? | Targət ta imal i məqqaran-net da, imal tat i ši-s ənta da. Iharaššat tu ši-s iṇṇ'as: «Ma iṃos almaɣna ən tərgət ta? Mərda nnak ad ak nəssəjəd nak, d anna nak əd məqqaran nak?» |
| 11 | And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. | Təzzar əmmənzaɣan tu məqqaran-net mišan ši-s imməɣras in ikiṭṭəw targət ta. |
| 12 | And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. | As əzəl iyyan əglan məqqaran-net əḍanan eharay ən ši-ssan daɣ aṃadal ən Šəkem. |
| 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. | Iṇṇa Israyil i Yusəf: «Iməqqaran nak wərgeɣ əkkan təməḍint əs Šəkem, ayaw a kay zəmmizəla sər-san.» Ikkəwan as Yusəf, iṇṇ'as: «Nak da.» |
| 14 | 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. | Iṇṇ'as: «Aglu əṣṣən iməqqaran nak əɣlasan, əntanay d aharay nasan, təqqəla du təməlaɣ i. Təzzar immozal Yusəf, ifal aɣlal wa n Xebron ikka Šəkem. |
| 15 | And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? | Ijiwankat as t igraw aləs iyyan, ixrak daɣ əṣuf. Iṇṇ'as: «M'as təṣaggada?» |
| 16 | And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. | Iṇṇ'as Yusəf: «Iməqqaran nin as əṣaggada, təfraga ad i təməla edag wa daɣ əssəḍanan.» |
| 17 | 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. | Iṇṇ-as aləs: «Əg̣madan edag wa fəlas əsallaɣ asan as əṇṇan:" Əndawatana aṃadal wa n Dotan!"» Iggaz Yusəf ədəriz ən məqqaran-net har tan in oṣa daɣ Dotan. |
| 18 | And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. | As t ənayan daɣ igəg, izay tan in, əgan eɣaf fəl at t anɣin. |
| 19 | And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. | Ənamaṇṇan gar-essan: «Əməggi ən tərgəten den ad d izayan den. |
| 20 | 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. | Anɣiwatanaq qu a tu nəgər daɣ iyyat daɣ təgaziwen a, ad naṇṇu əmudar at t itšan, ad nəṣṣən a wa z'əqqəlnat tərgəten-net.» |
| 21 | And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. | Isl asan Ruben, igmay d efsan-net iṇṇ'asan: «Ad wər tagim iṃan-net.» |
| 22 | 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. | Ilas iṇṇ'asan: «Ad wər tənɣəlam azni nnet, əgərat t in ɣas daɣ tagaza a təhat əṣuf da, da wər das təɣšedam arat.» Ruben ira at t assafsu har t issuɣəl i ši-s. |
| 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; | As d ewad Yusəf iməqqaran-net əzzafan tu əkkaṣan daɣ-as takatkat-net ta təknat šihussay izlag. |
| 24 | And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. | Təzzar ədkalan tu əgaran tu daɣ tagaza wər əhen aṃan. |
| 25 | 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. | Dəffər adi əqqiman ad əṭattin as d ətkalan aṣawad nasan, ənayan taɣlamt ən Kəl Ismaɣil a du təfalat aṃadal ən Gilad. Olaman nasan əggiggan ilalan əganen daɣ məglan d aḍutan əzodnen, əgan anamod ən Masar. |
| 26 | And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? | Təzzar iṇṇa Yuda i məqqaran-net: «Ma dana z'aknu ad nanɣu amaḍray nnana nəɣbər azni nnet? |
| 27 | 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. | Əndawat a t in nazzanzu i Kəl Ismaɣil, da wər das nəɣšed arat, fəlas amaḍray nnana a iṃos, nəṃos dər-əs arat iyyanda.» Təzzar əṭṭafan məqqaran-net batu ta, ənamarḍan dər-əs fall-as. |
| 28 | 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. | As d okoyan mazanzan wiyyaḍ ən Kəl Midyan, əkkasan du Yusəf daɣ tagaza, əzzənzan t in i Kəl Ismaɣil ṣanatat təmərwen ən tamma n əzrəf. Ewayan tu Kəl Ismaɣil win əs Masar. |
| 29 | And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. | Iqqal du Ruben tagaza inay as Yusəf wər tat iha. Təzzar irmaɣ ad izazarrat isəlsa nnet. |
| 30 | And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? | Iqqal iməḍrayan-net, iṇṇ'asan: «Barar wər t'illa! Əmərədda, nak ma z'aga?» |
| 31 | And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; | Təzzar əgzaman əzolaɣ ədkalan takatkat ən Yusəf, əssəlmaɣan tat daɣ əzni nnet. |
| 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 be thy son's coat or no. | Əsassawayan takatkat ta təknat šihussay əs ši-ssan, əṇṇan as in: «A wa da a din nog̣az əṣṣən kud takatkat ən barar nak adi wala.» |
| 33 | 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. | Izday tat iṇṇa: «Takatkat ən barar in a wa! Əmudar n əmətši at t'itšan! Yusəf barar in iqqal idesan immətša! |
| 34 | And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. | Ad izazarrat Yaqub telassay-net fəl tərəmmeq, iggaz afartay ən rur-es har ig'azzaman aggotnen. |
| 35 | 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. | Ad gammayan bararan-net əd təbararen-net ket nasan ad t'əsəssikəyan tərəmmeq mišan ugay, iṇṇa: «Kala kala, har faw əheɣ afartay iket wər əlkema i barar in s alaxirat.» Imməɣras in ihallu fall-as. |
| 36 | And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard. | Siga wen Yusəf əzzənzan t'in Kəl Midyan daɣ akal wa n Masar y aləs igan eṣəm Fotifar illan ɣur Firɣawna, iṃos əmuzar ən mag̣azan-net ən nammagaran. |
