1 Jakob logxis en la lando, en kiu lia patro logxis fremdule, en la lando Kanaana.

2 Jen estas la generaciaro de Jakob. Jozef, havante la agxon de dek sep jaroj, pasxtis kune kun siaj fratoj la brutaron; li estis knabo kune kun la filoj de Bilha kaj la filoj de Zilpa, la edzinoj de lia patro; kaj malbonajn famojn pri ili Jozef raportadis al ilia patro.

3 Kaj Izrael amis Jozefon pli ol cxiujn siajn filojn, cxar li estis por li filo naskita en maljuneco; kaj li faris al li mikskoloran veston.

4 CXar la fratoj vidis, ke lin ilia patro amas pli ol cxiujn liajn fratojn, tial ili malamis lin kaj ne povis paroli kun li pace.

5 Jozef havis songxon, kaj li rakontis gxin al siaj fratoj; tiam ili ekmalamis lin ankoraux pli.

6 Li diris al ili: Auxskultu la songxon, kiun mi songxis:

7 ni ligis garbojn meze de la kampo; kaj jen mia garbo starigxis kaj restis starante, kaj viaj garboj gxin cxirkauxis kaj profunde klinigxis antaux mia garbo.

8 Tiam liaj fratoj diris al li: CXu vi estos regxo super ni? aux cxu vi regos super ni? Kaj ili ankoraux pli ekmalamis lin pro liaj songxoj kaj pro liaj vortoj.

9 Kaj li songxis ankoraux alian songxon kaj rakontis gxin al siaj fratoj, kaj diris: Mi songxis ankoraux unu songxon: jen la suno kaj la luno kaj dek unu steloj klinigxas antaux mi.

10 Kaj li rakontis al sia patro kaj al siaj fratoj; kaj lia patro faris al li riprocxon, kaj diris al li: Kion vi volas kun tiu songxo, kiun vi songxis? cxu mi kaj via patrino kaj viaj fratoj venos, por klinigxi antaux vi gxis la tero?

11 Kaj liaj fratoj lin enviis, sed lia patro konservis en la memoro la aferon.

12 Liaj fratoj iris pasxti la sxafojn de sia patro en SXehxem.

13 Kaj Izrael diris al Jozef: Viaj fratoj pasxtas ja en SXehxem; venu do, mi sendos vin al ili. Kaj tiu respondis al li: Jen mi estas.

14 Kaj Izrael diris al li: Iru, rigardu, kiel fartas viaj fratoj kaj kiel fartas la sxafoj, kaj alportu al mi respondon. Kaj li forsendis lin el la valo de HXebron, kaj tiu venis SXehxemon.

15 Kaj iu viro trovis lin, kaj vidis, ke li erarvagas sur la kampo; kaj la viro demandis lin: Kion vi sercxas?

16 Kaj li diris: Miajn fratojn mi sercxas; diru al mi, kie ili pasxtas.

17 Kaj la viro diris: Ili foriris de cxi tie; cxar mi auxdis, ke ili diris: Ni iru al Dotan. Kaj Jozef iris sercxi siajn fratojn, kaj trovis ilin en Dotan.

18 Kaj ili ekvidis lin de malproksime; kaj antaux ol li alproksimigxis al ili, naskigxis en ili la malbona intenco mortigi lin.

19 Kaj ili diris unu al alia: Jen tiu songxisto venas;

20 nun ni iru kaj mortigu lin, kaj ni jxetu lin en unu el la putoj, kaj ni diru, ke sovagxa besto lin formangxis; kaj ni vidos, kio farigxos el liaj songxoj.

21 Sed tion auxdis Ruben kaj savis lin el iliaj manoj, kaj diris: Ni ne mortigu lin.

22 Kaj Ruben diris al ili: Ne versxu sangon; jxetu lin en cxi tiun puton, kiu estas en la dezerto, sed manon ne metu sur lin. CXar li intencis savi lin el iliaj manoj kaj revenigi lin al sia patro.

23 Kaj kiam Jozef venis al siaj fratoj, ili deprenis de li lian veston, la mikskoloran veston, kiu estis sur li;

24 kaj ili prenis lin kaj jxetis lin en la puton; sed la puto estis malplena, akvo ne estis en gxi.

25 Kiam ili sidigxis, por mangxi panon, ili levis siajn okulojn, kaj ekvidis, ke jen karavano da Isxmaelidoj venas el Gilead, kaj iliaj kameloj portas aromajxojn kaj balzamon kaj mirhon; ili iras, direktante sin al Egiptujo.

26 Kaj Jehuda diris al siaj fratoj: Kian profiton ni havos, se ni mortigos nian fraton kaj kasxos lian sangon?

27 Venu, ni vendos lin al la Isxmaelidoj, por ke nia mano ne metigxu sur lin; cxar li estas nia frato, nia karno. Kaj liaj fratoj akceptis lian proponon.

28 Kaj kiam la Midjanidoj, la komercistoj, preteriris, ili eltiris kaj levis Jozefon el la puto kaj vendis Jozefon al la Isxmaelidoj por dudek argxentaj moneroj; kaj tiuj forkondukis Jozefon al Egiptujo.

29 Kiam Ruben revenis al la puto, li vidis, ke Jozef ne estas en la puto. Kaj li dissxiris siajn vestojn.

30 Kaj li reiris al siaj fratoj, kaj diris: La knabo forestas, kaj kien mi nun iros?

31 Kaj ili prenis la veston de Jozef kaj bucxis kapron kaj trempis la veston en la sango.

32 Kaj ili sendis la mikskoloran veston kaj venigis gxin al sia patro, kaj dirigis: CXi tion ni trovis; rigardu, cxu gxi estas la vesto de via filo aux ne.

33 Kaj li rekonis gxin, kaj diris: GXi estas la vesto de mia filo! sovagxa besto lin formangxis! dissxirita estas Jozef!

34 Kaj Jakob dissxiris siajn vestojn kaj metis sakajxon cxirkaux sian lumbon kaj funebris pri sia filo multe da tagoj.

35 Kaj cxiuj liaj filoj kaj filinoj penis konsoli lin, sed li ne volis konsoligxi, kaj diris: En funebro mi iros en SXeolon al mia filo. Tiel ploris pri li lia patro.

36 Sed la Midjanidoj vendis lin en Egiptujo al Potifar, kortegano de Faraono, estro de la korpogardistoj.

4704. Verses 12-17 And his brothers went to pasture the flock of their father, in Shechem. And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers pasturing [the flock] in Shechem? Go, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Behold, here I am. And he said to him, Go now, see the peace of your brothers and the peace of the flock, 1 and bring back word to me. And he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron and he came to Shechem. And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What are you looking for? And he said, I am looking for my brothers; tell me now, where they are pasturing [the flock]. And the man said, They have travelled on from here, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

'His brothers went to pasture the flock' means those teaching from faith. 'Of their father' means of the Ancient Church and of the Primitive [Christian] Church. 'In Shechem' means the broad outlines. 'And Israel said to Joseph' means perception from the Divine Spiritual. 'Are not your brothers pasturing [the flock] in Shechem?' means that they are teaching. 'Go, and I will send you to them' means that it would teach Divine spiritual forms of good. 'And he said, Behold, here I am' means assent. 'And he said to him, Go now, see the peace of your brothers' means every coming of the Lord, and a perception of what the situation was with those who taught. 'And the peace of the flock' means what the situation was with those who learned, that is, with the Church. 'And bring back word to me' means knowledge. 'And he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron' means going forth from the Divine Natural and Sensory degrees. 'And he came to Shechem' means knowledge of the general aspects of doctrine. 'And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field' means that they had fallen away from general truth known to the Church. 'And the man asked him, saying, What are you looking for?' means foresight. 'And he said, I am looking for my brothers; tell me now, where they are pasturing [the flock]' means knowledge of what the situation was and what their state was. 'And the man said, They have travelled on from here, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothan' means that they moved on from the general aspects to the specific details of doctrine. 'And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan' means that they were steeped in the specific details belonging to false assumptions.

1. A Hebrew idiom meaning See whether all is well with your brothers and with the flock.

Genesis第37章

学习

   

1 Jacob lived in the land of his father's travels, in the land of Canaan.

2 This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

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 colors.

4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak peaceably to him.

5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

6 He said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

7 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf."

8 His brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?" They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.

9 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."

10 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? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?"

11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

12 His brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

13 Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." He said to him, "Here I am."

14 He said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

15 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, "What are you looking for?"

16 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock."

17 The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

19 They said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer comes.

20 Come now therefore, and let's kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, 'An evil animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams."

21 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, "Let's not take his life."

22 Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"--that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.

23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;

24 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

25 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

26 Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

27 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh." His brothers listened to him.

28 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.

29 Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

30 He returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is no more; and I, where will I go?"

31 They took Joseph's coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

32 They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, "We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son's coat or not."

33 He recognized it, and said, "It is my son's coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces."

34 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, "For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." His father wept for him.

36 The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
